To be fair, it seems to me that most car guys are not necessarily literate in electronics. And for them, there's various aftermarket options that are a bit more plug-and-play than this. And that is fine, IMO. But for nerds like me whom

Agreed. In fact, the engine bay wiring harness can probably be kept mostly or completely intact. If the stock sensors are being reused, there's no need to mess with the wiring harness at the sensor end. If the position of components in

Nice to see another option in this space. I shall have to come back to this when it comes time to resume on various engine-related projects I have on backlog. A question for any of you more familiar with this project: Does it support MAF se

It depends on the ad. In the before time, long ago, ads were a simple static image or body of text. And in that case, while not impossible, it's rather hard to compromise a computer with a static image or block of text. You'd have

Your reply ran straight away into an absurd reading of the post's point. There are scales where it is or is not practical to do various things. You might have noticed that fracking rigs, chemical plants, hog farms, et cetera, tend to

I misunderstood the title. I thought that ICE and CBP had somehow taken to retaliating against ACLU for their inquiries about Stingrays, that the ACLU had somehow found out about this and was counter-retaliating with a lawsuit. Fortunately,

So, are these guys going to be at DefCon, with a presentation about their experience, and lessons to share with the wider security community? Because I would be interested in watching said presentation.

So then if everything goes to ADS-B and GPS, doesn't that create a potential single-point-of-failure scenario, as isn't the data that ADS-B sends out itself derived from GPS? Having all navigation information come from a single so

I'm kind of wondering if there even needs to be. If you keyed up on frequency near a major airport as described in the GP, I'm pretty sure the FAA and FCC would be working together to track you down in short order. I could see the

I'm all for getting rid silly regulations, like one mentioned in the article stating all houses must be faced in brick. But I hope attempts to rollback needless regulations don't additionally throw away things like building codes.

My internal pedant compels me to note that a turbine-based engine (which all aviation jet engines are, AFAIK) is still an internal-combustion-engine. Not all internal combustion designs rely on reciprocating pistons. Though you are quite co

Absent notes to the contrary, I'm going to assume that's just the raw energy density. However, by my understanding the typical gasoline engine in a passenger car has an efficiency of something in the low-to-mid-30s percent. So, as

It might antagonize the students who are looking for a place to nap, but is that all of the students? I think other students might be happy to have their library available to them as a library again.
