Toll booth clocksToll booth clocksPosted Jun 12, 2008 20:29 UTC (Thu) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091)In reply to: Toll booth clocks by aegl Parent article: Stallman attacks Oyster's 'unethical' use of Linux (ZDNet) A bit too labor-intensive, and subject to manipulation. An automatic mechanism would be more efficient... like an NTP log showing how automatic synchronizations did not drift more than a few milliseconds apart. But you probably don't want the defense to make you bring an expert witness every time someone fights a ticket -- hence some kind of certification process would be a good idea. Too much effort, maybe. This mechanism would only catch a percentage of speedy drivers anyway: those who only speed occasionally would come out clean. Radars (and their instant speed measurement) seem to be more immediate and practical, even if their inner workings are wonderfully complex.
