actually the software is probably pretty simple. psuedocode: if(testingport == active) { turn on emissions } else { turn off emissions} -- nm - decline Oct 8, 11:27 1
- No, it's not as simple as that. They're doing analyses of speeds and running times, and stuff like that. -- nm - Ender Oct 8, 11:30
I find that more plausible than the engineers voluntarily breaking the bad news to the CEO and then the CEO directing them to cover it up. -- nm - Max Oct 8, 11:03 2
- You know there are entire levels of people between the CEO and a software engineer, right? - Ender Oct 8, 11:17 1
  - Multiple levels of management didn't come up with the Rich Purnell Maneuver! -- nm - Max Oct 8, 11:20
