Gawker Media, we don’t agree on much politically, but dammit I admire you guys for beating the drum on Hillary’s emails. A public official brazenly ignoring public records laws is bad, no matter who you support.

Question for the IT folks in the crowd: If you’re internal support setting up a new SVP or C level exec at your company, and that new person says they are going to use their own email server and domain, how quickly do you report this to your direct supervisor and/or CTO? Do you just smile and say to yourself, “I’ll…

This. I was hoping they’d critique the Democrats as well if they ever got down to debates. That Tyler has done so increases my respect for him (which was already considerable).

Tyler is a beacon of light in the Gawker universe.

How is a car sitting parked worse than one on constant loop making half of it’s miles with no one in it? Are educated people seriously in favor of public autonomous cars when the bus is there honking in your face and capable of carrying more people with a smaller footprint?

I find there’s a real thing among millennials for these finger-pointing diatribes, always addressed to some “you” so that when you read them you automatically start to feel accused and resentful. Social media seems to have created an insufferably self-righteous generation of people desperately keen for something to…

Probably the best gaffe in Kinja Deals history.

I no longer have a nose, so it worked as advertised.

I have one and it scares me, it wobbles when fully extended in the A frame position. The extended position seems pretty sturdy though.

I was a crew chief on F4-D's in the 80's and F-16's in the 90's and I remember having heard or read about this and even as a crew chief I was totally stunned that the KC-135 was able to drag them along on sick engines by the refueling boom.

I figured it was a scar caused by the friction of the giant brass balls of the crew of the tanker dragging down the runway.

The minimum USAF requirement was for 381 F-22s. That’s to equip 10 rotational expeditionary forces, each with one squadron of 24 Raptors. Those 240 Raptors would be supported by 60 training aircraft, 15 test and evaluation aircraft, 32 for backup, and 34 for attrition during the aircraft’s service life (roughly 10% of…

“We don’t have enough F-22s, that’s a fact of life. We didn’t buy enough; we don’t have enough.” However, the Air Force is going to make do with the Raptors it does have, Carlisle said. “You’re going to need the Raptors” for a high-end fight, he said. “So you’re still going to have to do that and we’re going to do it…

Lets not leave out the fact that supporters of the F-22 were not only told they were wrong, but outright ridiculed as living in the past. Romney made a point of calling for more Raptors back in 2012 (particularly to counter a growing Russian threat), and Obama literally laughed it off, as though he was proposing a…

When your looking at a force that deploys globally like the USAF does its not a lot of planes at all. And like any aircraft not all of them will ever be combat ready at the same time. China isn’t our enemy.....yet and don’t underestimate Russian Sukhoi’s which are quite advanced and capable. Unlike the MIGs the US and…

Three additional squadrons of F-22s in Europe and four more in Asia would be better than 500 F-35s.

Yeah, the predictable ‘Clean Diesel is Dead’ crowd is out there. Not going to happen though. The physics of the Diesel Cycle, and the energy density of diesel fuel, make it certain that it will be part of the mix for energy storage for transportation, now and going forward. That’s not going to change. Especially with…
