I’m going to have with “no” on that one. The leaked Camaro document was little more than a leak of spec details and potential PR prep. What might actually be interesting, however, is an article going into how these leaks happen, why they happen, what drives them, and what the consequences of such leaks could and could…

You make a very good point, and I think that an article exploring that point would make for a great read and a great story. It would provide a lot readers a bit of insight into something we don’t normally get to see.

Agreed; that’s the precise perspective I’ve kept it, as I indicated in the first paragraph of the comment that you replied to. That being said, the point I’m trying to make is that that winds up being a double-edged sword. It may be that part of the reason why GM is so upset is that something so comparatively…

I never asserted that you did need GM’s permission. If you did, you obviously would never have published it in the first place.

As the French like to say when faced with an irrational argument, “Obi-Wan Kenobi.”

No, this is not what a reporter does. A reporter does not randomly sling shit at a wall and hope it sticks, consequences be damned. A reporter understands the difference between leaking sensitive data that affects the lives of millions people and would otherwise never see the light of day and publishing a meaningless…

No Black Ops guy is going to tool around in a fancy, one-off customized super car. He’s not James Bond. He detests James Bond and the stereotype the character represents. Rather, he’s going to drive around in the most unassuming, inconspicuous car he can get his hands on. Which car in particular? Any car that he wants…

On the contrary - by publishing it, he was technically being unethical. He may not have been the one to leak it, but by publishing it, he was just as complicit in unethical behavior. It was GM’s document; GM’s data. As such, they have every single right to determine when, where, or even if it gets shared. By…

I think this rather defeats the purpose of the Joker. He doesn’t need a specific car just for his character. The Joker was intended to more or less represent chaos incarnate; he doesn’t care about order or personal identity in such a manner. Joker doesn’t have a single car - he has any car he wants. He just walks up…

“As for the Russians and their Victory Day, as usual I’m less than inclined to give a damn about their celebrations given their country’s conduct during and after the war. Something tells me that if the President of Poland were to choose between the two events, he’d come all the way over here rather than go next door…

Actually, if you check what you actually wrote, you said “during and after the war.”

We carved up Vietnam and Korea pretty well, with many people on both sides of each country being victims of crimes against humanity perpetrated by Americans. It was particularly widespread in Vietnam. From there, we proceeded install destabilize countries and install dictators friendly to us, only to go back and…

Does it sound better in person than it did in the videos? That turbo six just sounds so... unexciting.

The world wasn’t exactly an apocalyptic nightmare before in-car radios, either; and yet, after a few years, they sure as hell seem to have made a reasonably positive difference to drivers and passengers.

“Thanos is just the laziest dude in the universe.”

Not quite. The standard F/A-18 has its general basis in the YF-17, but differs quite a bit in many ways. The Hornet is a significantly larger, heavier, and more complex aircraft. The basic design and construction of the YF-17 was altered significantly to navalize it, and unfortunately they neglected to increase its…

Politics, cost, and to a certain extent, risk. The older F-14s were expensive enough as it was, and the not everyone in the Navy liked the idea of applying band-aid updates on older air frames, due to the potential for spiraling upkeep costs. On the other hand, a new-build aircraft with an almost entirely new design -…

Perhaps on of my favorites post-WWII is the Northrop Yf-17. When I think of the jet-era equivalent of a hot rod of the skies, I immediately think this thing:
