It would be physically impossible to make a Warthog stealthy. It is fundamentally the wrong shape, with the wrong engines, the wrong materials, everything.

No, that was the F-22. And in fact, it wasn't the F-22, so much as the suit the pilots were wearing that squeezed them too tight to breathe.

The entire purpose of testing an airplane is to identify defects like these. So are you suggesting that no aircraft should ever have defects show up in testing? In which case, why do testing at all? Why aren't you screaming about all the money wasted testing products that should have been flawlessly designed from

Betting against Musk in the long run may not be the best idea, but betting against him meeting whatever initial timeline he sets out is easy money. Most, if not all, of the technology for a fly-by already exists, as you note. Getting it, and the funding, all together in such a short window? Not theoretically

The last names of Karen and Christina are on the bags in the very first image. They're also all over the facebook page you linked to. Was it really too hard to look at the images in your own article, or was the temptation to add name-based filler just too much to resist?

And I thought we had it bad trying to buy enough to go on a few week diving vacation. Sudafed is great for keeping your Eustachian tubes open when you're doing 3+ dives a day. Buying enough for a family of 4, though, and it does look a little suspicious. Before Oregon put their limit in place we bought a ton to stock

Really. 5 months later you couldn't see that a) 60 other people said the same thing, and b) my reply to all of them was that when I wrote the comment, the word stateside wasn't in there? And that in a reply from the author, Brent Rose, he admitted the mistake and changed it because I wrote that comment?

532nd verse, same as the 531st. Save the trawling through academic papers, how about a report on new technologies that are actually being produced?

Nope. It has an official designation, and a rational behind that boundary. The Karman Line at 100 km (or 62 miles) is almost universally accepted by US and international bodies as the start of space. It was chosen as the altitude where a vehicle trying to maintain atmospheric lift would have to be travelling fast

No, it isn't. The congressional vote was on funding, which explicitly is outside the control of the president. Moreover, it also was well passed the 2/3rds supermajority required to bypass any presidential veto of said bill. Executive orders can go around Congress. They can't go straight over the top of a united

Once again, in an effort to appear more clever than someone who's spent decades training in their job, you've only revealed your ignorance and pettiness. Plenty of people below have pointed out why it was perfectly reasonable for radiologist to miss a dark-grey shape in a lung CT when looking for tumors, so I'll just

Yes, because Congress voted 97-3 against closing Guantanamo. Are you suggesting the President should be able to overrule that sort of majority?

I do have a bottle, actually. I have more than one, even. Nice squeezey bottles that are much more useful for serving dressing. This bottle is trying to say that limiting to just 10 recipes for salad dressing and saving 5 seconds tossing a few measuring cups in the dishwasher is worth $10, and there's no way that's

Or I could use measuring cups I already own, a bottle I already own, hundreds of times more recipes available for free on the internet (look, an actual tech use!), and do the exact same thing for free! You guys should start paying me to do Dealzmodo with the sort of high-quality product I'm churning out over here.

The Apollo 1 fire happened on the launch pad, so it was space-affiliated, but not in space. The balloons for the airplane and LEGO minifig didn't even get halfway to space.

North Korea had warned China ahead of time of their plans, and the State Dept. was expecting the test "any day now". Two easily disprovable factual errors in the first sentence (even Gawker got those right). Normally you have to read at least a paragraph into Giz articles to get that sort of quality.

Do you have anything, even the slightest shred of evidence, to suggest that the LAPD not only has, but is willing to use, armed drones? Or are you pulling that straight out of your ass, to punch some sensation and click-bait into an otherwise much less exciting article? The LAPD is using unarmed tools at their

They are ships. Aircraft are launched from them. Are simple English definitions always so difficult for you? I said nothing about the relative quality of the carriers, merely that they exist. And for someone who claims to be so up-and-up on the world's aircraft carriers, you appear to have missed the years-old news

No, those two clips share ~50% of the same content. One has a few 30s sections on assembly, the other maybe one 15s scene on mixing sand. Other than that, almost identical films.

The opening paragraph didn't specify "nuclear powered" or "for fixed wing aircraft" or "more than one" or anything. It said carriers, period. When it was written, it didn't even have the word "stateside". The author, Brent Rose, admitted that he had made a mistake in one of the comments to me, and went back and fixed
