Jesus Himself is the third temple, and His believers
are part of that temple.

The temple is now built. And things are about to
fundamentally change worldwide for the rest of
man's time upon the Earth before the Lord's second
coming, wherein He will destroy every enemy and
establish His 1,000 year reign.

Everything you think you've known about life, about
this world, about your purpose for being alive, is
about to be shaken, never to be the same again.

The period of God's Grace against the evil goings
on in this world is about to end. And then He will
pour out His wrath upon all who are in rebellion
against Him, and truth, embracing self and lies
instead.

The only shelter from the coming storm is in Jesus.
He will forgive your sins if you believe, repent, ask
forgiveness. He will change you so that you live
your life for Him.

Best regards,
Rick C. Hodgin

It is on all oxides of nitrogen, not just nitrous oxide.
Nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide are important contributors
to smog, and harmful to humans (and other animals and plants).

It does bring up some important points in regard to computer
programming and liability. It isn't so obvious yet how high
up it went, but there is pretty much no doubt that those
writing the software knew what they were doing.

Now, consider that such software engineers might want to
get jobs somewhere else. Will you trust them with your project?

A dentist was recently caught doing unnecessary operations.
Obviously another dentist had to be called into the court as an
expert witness, and he confirmed that this is what he had done.
The other dentist spoke of his shame and humiliation that 
another member of his profession would behave in such a fashion.

But I don't feel the same way about the VW programmers. We don't
really have the same concept of a code of ethics, we're  not
even a profession in the technical sense. 
(Microsoft-certified professional is an oxymoron, by the way,
by definition a professional is certified by his professional
body, of which he then becomes a member with a say over the
certification process).

You can be sure that the software developers were doing what they were
told by the company (or department) leadership, not by their own
initiative.  It is conceivable that they did not even know there was
cheating involved, if the tasks were divided up enough.

Such software cheats are not new (well, since this one apparently goes
back to at least 2008, it's not new either).  For a while it was common
in graphics drivers - they detected that the user was running a known
benchmark program, and cheat in some way in order to give apparently
faster results.  And it has been known for compiler developers to
"optimise" their tools for "special cases", such as SPEC_INT benchmarks.


And cheating, or law-breaking of various sorts, is certainly nothing new
amongst professionals.  In some professions, such as the medical and
legal professions, you need to be licensed and the license involves
oaths against such unethical behaviour.  This gives them extra
protection against being asked to do something questionable.  But for
most people, there is no such thing.  Your boss tells you to make the
changes, or be fired ("and you'll never work in this town again").

That's the part that fascinates me the most. How can you keep the lid
on such a thing?  I can't see how you can make it work.

The core programmers in the engine area need to be in on it, and a
whole management chain.  And several layers of test and verification
people.  And maintenance and support.  And anyone with read access to
the source code.  That's dozens of people already.

You cannot keep QA out of the loop by sneaking it in very late,
because while /some/ people are willing to cheat on emission
benchmarks, fewer would do anything which is a safety problem, such
as doing tests on anything but the software which reaches customers.

It even complicates the recruitment process; you need to ask HR to
hire only programmers with low moral standards.  Or very naive
programmers ... at any rate, precisely the people you /don't/ want to
have for a lot of other reasons.

Perhaps someone has done an analysis from this angle already ...

As I noted before, it is other oxides than N2O.

Interesting question, maybe the answer will come out in the end.

I am not sure which countries have such tests. It might be easier
when the people involved don't work in the country doing the tests,
but it would seem to me it can easily come out when someone
gets fired.  Unless they have a strong incentive (like a gun
pointed at their head) not to tell, the secret can easily get out.

OK, say you have one persor responsible for taking the bits and
writing them into ROMs. (And for now consider mask ROMs, though I
don't know what they use.)  If that person can do it just right,
and avoid too many others from knowing, it might work.

Seems that way to me.

Maybe the UWV group does that. It seems that they are funded by
fines paid by previous violators of the testing laws.

As I understand it, there were people wondering how VW managed
to design an engine that didn't need urea injection, when all
the others did.  It wasn't that they were suspected of cheating,
but what secret did they have for the low emissions. Then they
started measuring while driving, and the secret started to
come out.

See:

     http://whenisthenewmoon.com/

           Yom Teruah:  Sep.16.2015
           Yom Kippur:  Sep.25.2015
               Sukkot:  Sep.30.2015 thru Oct.06.2015
       Last Great Day:  Oct.07.2015

Most likely all relative to Jerusalem time, and to the Hebrew calendar
time of evening to evening, but nobody knows for sure until it happens.

Best regards,
