Have you asked if any code you've written is yours? Whether it belongs to you or not is something the company must decide, I think. Especially if they were written, tested, etc, on company time.

If anything, I think, if you have written them, and they are not company-specific (but possibly industry-specific), you could just release them, whether binary-only, or open source, is up to you.

Can you re-create, or modify the existing code without your employers' resources (specific IDEs and their quirks, etc)?

Welcome to 2009.

Via the comment system over there, I posted the IPv6 didn't work (in the builds I used, and read about anyway), it hasn't been actively developed as free, open source firmware in about a year for the v24-preSP2, but they will gladly take your money for it.

Tomato for me, for now. Though I did look at Hyper/OpenWRT for a while.

Wait a fucking second. Do you remember D.A.R.E.? Do you know how unsuccessful it was? It actually created more druggies than it stopped. I doubt the Presidential candidacy has anything to do with this. It's all about policy, and public mindset. Most people live and let live. Until this country is like 1984, this will probably not change, and even then, I dunno if it will....

Okay, so the question is, is this the final report? Or just a preliminary 'up to now' type of thing?

I ask because I was selected in the first round of testing, but didn't even see the second round survey thing for quite some time. I eventually took it, and never heard back if I was supposed to receive a SamKnows router or not.

I sure would like to help, though. :-) So the second question remains; is the volunteer group still expanding, or is that it, and they will just collect data from the users they have?

I like that this is the direction we are headed; gov't telling private companies how it's done......

However, I would like to point out a glaring omission. These new 'rules' reports tend to forget that these numbers are for NEW vehicles. Not necessarily including vehicles already manufactured, selling, and being used day-to-day by people.

So that means the 'average' of 54.5MPG will not be reached by including the vehicles already on the road, even in 2025, most likely. They will only count the ones that are made from a certain arbitrary date, and average out certain classes of vehicle, etc, etc.

Just like now, the current 28.3MPG is only for new vehicles, though I do not know the details of that set of standards; whether they apply only to new cars, or to the whole 'fleet' of cars by auto maker x......
