Yeah, I don’t think Ford is scared of Porsche. The GT40 stopped racing because it was obsolete, and Ford wanted to focus on racing efforts that were more connected with its roots. The only reason Ford ever went to Le Mans was to screw over Enzo Ferrari, and they did so.

It is!

How did those 911 RSRs do yesterday?

It’s a federal information system, thus it’s required to be accredited under either DIACAP or DIARMF, each of which contain clauses requiring the backup of the system, testing of the backups, as well as various desktop exercises during the annual FISMA review. The data is there, they just need to figure out how to…

My wife and I are planning a two week trip to Europe for our fifteenth anniversary, with the 24 Hours of Le Mans being a big part of it. I’m going to give your write-up a good read. Thanks!

It’s fairly routine for drivers in touring cars to adjust their brake bias, fuel mapping, and sway bars at speed, on road courses. Why would Indy, where just about everything is within 12" of the steering wheel, be any different?

I eat basically everything, but stopped eating octopi firefor this exact reason, about five years ago. I generally don’t want to eat octopi or apex predators.

That doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s more or less aggressive, as that can be dialed in with the spring rates and thickness of the sway bars. There’s a big school of thought that indicates that the strut tower brace doesn’t do much, especially when the chassis is sufficiently rigid, or enhanced by subframe…

And, he was a Rhodes Scholar!

YOU’RE THE MOST ORIGINAL COMMENTATOR! YOU DESERVE AN AWARD FOR ORIGINALITY!

You’re right, and that’s what I meant. I should have been more clear...

Because only parts of the STS were re-usable, and even those required SIGNIFICANT refurbishment before they could be launched again. The orbiter required a ridiculous amount of maintenance, including manual inspection and replacement of heat shield tiles. The SRBs needed to be completed cleaned and refurbished, and…

Twinforce was a way better name. It’s bullshit that they dropped it in favor of greenwashing.

The government always specifies the requirements for weapons systems. Did you think that the contractors were writing the requirements?

Nowhere is it more apparent, than Gawker media, unfortunately. I used to love this place, but it’s becoming more and more ridiculous by the day.

So, there’s nothing in the job reqs about editorial standards, journalistic integrity, or even the ability to utilize proper grammar, then?

If it were only a layer 2 switch, there would be no way for the attack to take place, and it would not bridge networks together (hence, the external network would not be able to ‘talk’ to the internal network). Thus, a firmware vulnerability wouldn’t even be susceptible. That said, if it were a layer 3 switch, with…

I played in a men’s baseball league last fall, for the first time since high school (15 years). Back in high school, I was used to high 70s, and the occasional mid-80s fastball. Now, the guys in this league are throwing 65-75, but it took several games to get used to it. Before that, you just see if it’s going to be…

The radar does not emit below certain elevations, for that reason exactly.

I can’t believe that show made it past two episodes. It’s probably some of the worst TV I’ve watched since “Viper”.
