    technology coming down the pike. the new diesels look especially intriguing. And it appears the rotary isn't dead, it's just restin'.

    It's pining for the Fords.

    I haven't got time to RTFA but how about Mazda's i-stop technology which has been demonstrated for years, and development began around 2002-2004.

    The engine technology detects piston precision precisely and lets the engine stop before a traffic light allowing restart of the engine to be done using some of the starter but mostly combustion power. Detection of a nearby traffic light would be obviously useful in such a case.

  5. Re:Misleading summary title? by jonasj · · Score: 1 · on Insight Into AMD's Linux Driver Development

    Yeah, in the same way that Mazda is a part of the big Ford company. But you wouldn't submit and article called "How Ford Builds Cars" and then cover only the Mazda factor's stereo installation.

    Not at all in the same way. ATI is just an AMD brand now. Compare http://www.mazda.com/ to http://www.ati.com/ and you will see why the article's title is perfectly valid.

    For that matter so does Mazda. They've had a street-legal RX-8 that can run on either hydrogen or gasoline for a while now. The driver can even select which fuel they'd like to use just by flicking a switch.

    I wish I could put that in a remote controlled RX-8. That'd be a neat toy. :)

    Even better, how about this new Mazda car? I'm not sure if they're planning on selling it in any Spanish-speaking countries, but Nissan doesn't seem to be picky about their new Moco (means booger in ES)
