The real question is "Why is the person in the poster going 140mph with all of those indicator lights on?". Some graphical programmer has a death wish.

140's not really *that* fast... especially in a cage.  I've hit triple digits on my sled and come damn close on my dirt bike.

Heh, but would you do it no brakes, no/low power steering, and no safety equipment (seat belt indicator and airbag indicator)?

a) That speedometer may well show KPH (the logical design for a speedo is to have crusing speed more or less at the top and 100 KPH would qualify).

b) What we're seeing is obviously the other end of the needle. It's probably pointing below zero and all the lights are on because the key was just inserted (or because the dash is under test. This is a LabVIEW poster, after all).

Thanks for setting me straight. I just took a quick glance at it and after further review it is clear.

Turning on "Mr. Squiggles" is fun with 340bhp and 390ft-lbs torque! ("Mr. Squiggles" ON = Traction Control OFF).

Congrats!

At least it is an upgrade from the "LabVIEW, in the toilet?" poster.

HAH, I love it. I'm assuming they don't print that one anymore.

1) Hand-help cell phone jammer. for use while driving to get the fool who is on their cell phone and riding my bumper to stop talking and start paying attention. Bonus points if it auto-detects the cell-phone usage and jams them without distracting me from from my burger and beer.

This popped up in the local news today

raa-offers-hi-tech-solution-to-block-motorists-using-mobile-phones

The phone-blocking technology, priced at about $230, is already being sold in the UK.

 It is a small device that plugs in below the steering wheel and automatically blocks texts, emails, apps and social media but allows emergency numbers to be contacted.

The Bluetooth CU80 blocker device blocks mobile phone use while a vehicle is in motion.
