"We know we can fix these vehicles to meet emissions standards," Horn said, adding that a potential fix would likely have a "slight impact on performance. One or two miles of top speed might be missing."
He think his mind reads it "we KNEW and that's why we went for this trick" :evil:. They are actually blaming software engineers for not implementing a quality AI that detects, if a secret enquiry is happening and continue act innocent for any longer- as long as it senses someone stalking

Well... since the executive do not really do anything, they can hardly be guilty of anything, can they?!

So they're not only frauds, but also liars and cowards...
And they're already being hired by other companies for top functions.
We live in a messed up world

Are they foolhardy or just desperate? Some "rogue" programmer might have documented the assignment. Any civil servant would certainly have done so. And if the effect really was neglible, why ever take the risk?

It stated on the news that a couple of "rogue programmers" were responsible. Does anyone seriously believe this is the truth?! Seriously. A couple of programmers managed to hack the software and no-one noticed? Not one person reviewed their code, not one person questioned why they made the changes they did, no one raised a single concern!
Bullsh*t!
We all know this directive came from the very top. Maybe they didn't explicitly mention anything about hacking the on-board software in the cars, but the directive would have been "Make the cars appear more efficient and cleaner and we will provide huge monetary incentives".
Typically the big dicks at the top of the tree are sh*tting all over those at the bottom. What complete assholes!
Sorry, but this makes me really angry  . And relax

There's a basic flaw in that theory: Software developers are inherently lazy.
Unless specifically directed to otherwise, they're going to report the data as it is, because that's the path of least resistance.
They don't care whether the engineers get the auto to EPA standards. They'd be much more likely to say, "well, go fix your engineering problem."

We know that around the world law enforcement agencies collect fingerprints of all those arrested for crimes.
In addition, the US has been collecting ingerprints of all those who apply for any kind of visa.
Am I paranoid in thinking that the fingerprint readers used in cellphones, tablets and the like send our index finger print straight to the FBI, NSA, etc.?

If you doubt it, then no. They don't send the data to any of such agencies, like NSA, FBI etc. etc.

Afzaal, do you have a source for your categorical statement?

Sure, he's the one who sends the fingerprints to FBI, NSA, etc.

Let's put it this way, if you someone knew that they were collecting your fingerprints, then the spooks wouldn't be doing their job very well.

I don't use them anyways. First - anyone whom I give my cellphone must be able to use it. Second - I don't trust the MTBF of those readers, plus with wet/injured hands or dirty surface they would create troubles.
With all the backdoors installed on both Android and iOS I wouldn't doubt it, someone is receiving those data.

Even if you "keep your nose clean", you probably still care. The government has made identification mistakes, just look up Brandon Mayfield and the Madrid Bombings. Do you really want something like what happened to him, to happen to you?
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

Scooter Libby had nothing to do with what he was investigated for.
But he was convicted of lying to the investigators and spent time in a federal cell.
The guy who actually committed the crime Scooter was investigated for - was never even questioned.
Everyone is a criminal. Right now. They just have to decide if they need to convict you.
