I have to agree that software should not be able to be copyright protected, at least as it is now. The base languages used in software are all open and usuable by anyone. Imagine if any of them were ‘off limits’ to any new software code, and every software engineer had to come up with a new language for any new…

You are too kind, good sir. At my age, I am in the grays regardless of what the editorial staff (presumably an unpaid intern who thought that GMG was owned by General Motors instead of Gawker Media) decides. That, and I seem to piss off some of the writers on staff when I call them out...but oddly, never when I agree…

No, BMW and Cadillac are certainly not equals. But then, Cadillac chased BMW, not setting themselves apart, and failed. Yet you say Tesla should chase BMW, try to be them, as their aspiration.

The Firebird “snowflakes”. I don’t need to post a photo, because you already can picture them, right?

Neutral: Company Or Country?

I, too, was pressured by corporate “back in the day” to donate to UW, via payroll deductions, and opted out. And I am sure that it was noticed, even in a large company office of several hundred.

...Their path to long term success is to become the BMW of EVs, not to try to compete with GM and Toyota...

Yeah, those Alpha Romeos sure break down a lot, as they don’t even exist. (An Alfa Romeo, however, seems to be a bit more real and more reliable.) But since you seem to know, are Furraris and Mazerattis any good? Because Italian companies make shit cars. 

You can own a Tesla without fawning over Elon, but then, you can own a BMW and not fit the porcupine stereotype. In both cases, it usually is rare for either to happen.

Same here with googling but not actually taking the risk of actually clicking on it. Too many bad memories from Two Girls One Cup already. I don’t remember who said it in their comedy routine, but the simple truth is that you can type in the worst thing you can think of in the search bar and add .com to it, and the…

God, how I miss Fancy Kristen. She would appreciate this thing, dammit. Because you poors have no idea what real wealth wants. No, demands. Along with your souls, the rich crave something that sets them apart, that makes mere mortals quiver in their presence. This Maybach does, kinda. But as noted, show up in Dubai,…

Not far off the mark. Highly likely. And probably going to happen.

Brazilian Fart Porn. It’s real. 

Here’s a legitimate question.

Uh, did you look at the current sales totals for the 300 in 2020?

Did Buick do okay with the Envision, built in China from their own market’s design?

1st Gear: Nissan Is Seeing Results

You don’t need alcohol when you can get decent cocaine along with Diet Coke delivered to your office. And a good 80s/90s icon would be a likely coke enthusiast. And access to good blow would be a real Eastern European model magnet, right Melania? I mean, I Don’t Care Do U?

Ah, the beauty of marketing. Price a piece of shit ridiculously high, and someone will think it is worth that price. And probably buy it. And then tell everyone about how much better their turd is, because it costs more.

Well, that makes no sense, if Petty is your guy. He was from Gainesville Florida, FFS, and that is about as East Coast as they get. If no one you know ever clamored for tickets to see the Boss, I really don’t think it was due to his being an “East Coast” act, any more than the Beach Boys were a “West Coast” act.
