  1. Rotary Miata on Mazda Stops Production of the Last Rotary Engine Powered Car · · Score: 1

    Mazda needs to make a rotary Miata.

    They've needed to do so for years, but they're too stupid/stubborn to do so. Their execs must be from the same business school that Commodore's were from.

  6. Re:There is no American Public School System on How Do You Educate a Prodigy? · · Score: 1

    Then you got lucky.

    But this was certainly know about this, that's exactly what they did to me in grade school. Then again in middle school; gifted students were never excused from busywork. If I couldn't do it in class, even if it was because I was in an advanced class, I had to do it at home.

    If I were bored in class because you already knew the material, they had a solution for that to Ritalin.

    As for private schools not being prepared, bullshit. I went to a private kindergarten and knew multiplication before first grade. Then got stuck counting people in houses for the next few years while the rest of the school caught up. "Thou shalt show the teacher every step in the form she wants to see." or it was graded down and wrong. There was no way to show you knew the material, except by doing the work, exactly the way the teacher wanted to see it, then you went to the next step. There was no fucking way to prove anything except by being a good little drone, and doing the same work at the same pace as everybody else. The system was set up to prevent smart kids from getting ahead.

    I can go on about other assholes using the system for exactly the same bullshit.

    And they all fall into the category of "No child left behind." which includes "no child allowed to succeed".

    He may in a good school, and placed in gifted classes. But he will be expected to do the normal school world as well, so he will be rewarded with twice as much work and the non-gifted students. A few years of doing additional busywork homework, the stuff the other kids do in class to keep the kids quiet, will break his desire to excel in no time.

    Get the kid into a private university ASAP.

  8. Re:Thank god on Richard Stallman's Dissenting View of Steve Jobs · · Score: 1

    But the issue Stallman is raising is that over many years, Jobs was about ownership and money as much as he was about anything else.

    So is Stallman, only from different perspective.

    Stallman is all about ownership, and closing those damn holes in the GPL to prevent people from using to make money in a way he doesn't approve of.

  9. Says one zealous Dick about another one on Richard Stallman's Dissenting View of Steve Jobs · · Score: 2

    RMS talks about greed and freedom. But this is the man who insists on renaming somebody else's operating system, Linux, to GNU/Linux because they used his free shit to make it. So what is it Dick, is your shit not really free? Linux owns the trademark for Linux, the and GNU is owned by your cronies.

    Does that mean that if I come up with my own kernel, lets call it Assfuck, using your GNU shit, calling it GNU/Assfuck is appropriate?

    Job was a visionary, zealot, and a control freak who demanded things his way. That made him a dick. But RMS is also a visionary, zealot, control freak who demands things his way as well; that makes him just as big a dick as Jobs.

    Sounds like you need a reality check.

    A large number of seniors living on limited, fixed income qualify for Medicaid, I have known seniors who had both a pension and social security who still qualified for medicaid.

    As for privatizing Social Security, look at what happened to Lehman Brothers. Also the same people who are wanting to privatize are also want to deregulate. Even now there are people in congress who want to remove the regulations that were put in place after the crash. And even with regulations in place, they still have to be enforced look as Madoff and Enron, regulations were in place but either never enforced or enforced after it was too late.

    The success of technology is determined by marketing, not technology.

    Also, open and standardized is not a requirement for success. Just look at the current computer market.

    Also look at HTML, just because there's a standard, doesn't mean its standardized or all of the rendering engines render it the same.

    Maybe its because the Republicans want to privatize Social Security while reducing if not eliminating Medicare and Medicaid which many senior citizens depend on?

    The problem with the bailouts, wasn't so much the bailouts, I wish they had bailed out Lehman Brothers, but the the fact they didn't prosecute the people who masterminded that shit.

    There's also the issue where they let the companies sit on the capital, and pay out bonuses. The ground rules should have been: "Hey Fucker In Charge, once you get bailed out, you are fired with prejudiced, and we're seizing your personal assets, and charging you with misrepresenting yourself as actually being competent.".

    Interest rates are great, but because the market is so fucked, still, the peons can't take advantage of it. Only the rich fuckers.
