They are tested often and must be re-certified every so often. Just because you can't see the source code doesn't mean you can't check the results against a known value.
I had a speeding ticket thrown out once because the radar gun failed a calibration test later that day, as did every other driver that officer ticketed that day. Same goes for breathalyzers.
The general idea is similar to what you are looking for. It's nowhere near finished and they have been working on for god knows how long, but who knows. Someday perhaps.
Great acceleration and no range. I don't care if it takes me 12 or 20 seconds to reach 60mph if I can go 300mi/charge, with the heat, headlights and windsheild wipers on.

It was a failure before it started.
It's my birth year.
A chance of death or not, climbing Everest is still #1 on my list of things to do before I die.

Wow. Good topic, bad choice of medium. An essay would have been a much better choice.
This reminds me of the Garfield comics where he would watch a 7hr documentary about the Q-tip, or a 13h documentary about aluminum foil.
The interstate speed limit is 70 in Indiana.
People worry way too much about what others think. The Humvee driver and yourself included.
I don't want to get of NAT. Instead of having to firewall each device, I have a single point (the router).
NAT makes it easy.
It's not meant to discourage theft, it's meant to protect your data.
If the HDD is encrypted, you can lock the thief out.
I don't loathe humanity, I just realize that fighting and/or war is part of being. We are a naturally aggressive species.
You can launch one of these grenades in a matter of moments. A flying drone might be 300mi away and sitting on a runway.
War and conflict will become obsolete when humans become obsolete.
I spend 90% of my time on a laptop. It's pretty rare to see me on a desktop of any sort.
I'm not a programmer and rarely use a computer at work. I spend my day in a lab with books and vials.
For reading short clips, web pages, news articles, etc., it's fine. That's all-together different from a book or a novel.
For sitting and reading a book? You got to be shitting me. If there is anything over a few pages long that I have to read. I print it out.
Because reading a laptop screen sucks ass if you have to read for any length of time.

Like I just did yesterday.
You're right. DST is summer time.
DST causes it get dark earlier. An hour earlier.
The idea is to have it get light earlier, not dark later. Remember "fall back"?
That's fine. When they can't find anyone to prosecute for downloading and have no money, it really doesn't matter what they blame.
Don't buy them and don't download them.
Just don't play them at all.
The economy (U.S. and the world) has slowed. Why would Microsoft be bucking the trend?
Read it again. You don't have to be over 65 to get it free.
Yes I do and people outside of slashdot have actually heard of it.
