    Maybe he thinks we've read all the spoilers, which I know some of you have... Speaking of which, I should PM him.

    Biggest reason for this is to cut out NetFlix, Hulu, and other streamers who are eating into their U-verse TV subscriptions. Squeezing more money out of their users seems like a bonus. And if they want more U-verse subscribers, they need to do a little more to expand it. Comcast already imposes a 250GB cap. I know a few other cable companies are doing it and this may drive other telecos to follow suit. I know Canadian companies are also doing this. DSLreports.com's forums exploded when this news broke a few weeks ago. It's still an active topic on DSLReports.com so if you need suggestions on where to go, I'd look over there. To add to the insult, they're gonna buy T-Mobile. Ouch. I'd probably go with the Droid X if they're gonna give it to you for free with contract.

    It's Facebook. That just adds to the already useless stuff on the site anyways. Next thing you know, they'll be posting what they ate for lunch on FB. Speaking of which....*pulls out camera phone*

    Looks like Nicolas didn't make many external modifications to his VF-9 like Hakuna did to his VF-1. I do wonder what kind of engine he replaced the standard ones with. The site also hasn't updated yet with Chapter 5 info either. No biggie. I expect some publications to be delayed after the devastation in the north.

    This is more of a marketing and technical issue than a licensing issue. Right now, there isn't a real push to get older titles out on Blu-Ray. Upscaling the video for HD might make it look worst unless you want to spend money on clean-up. It may eventually come out on Blu-ray but as I said, there's no real push to do so.

    It probably should be noted that the VF-171 uses parts found in the VF-19 (namely its active stealth system) and the VF-171EX uses the VF-19's FF-2550 engines. So for a cannon fodder machine, the VF-171 is definitely no slouch. If anything, those few scenes in Frontier of the VF-171 would seem to prove that.

    New image: http://spinoff.comicbookresources.com/2011/03/22/marvel-debuts-new-image-from-captain-america-the-first-avenger/ And Entertainment Tonight will air footage from the new trailer due out in a few days.

    Wasn't EX-Gear developed before Frontier put it into a VF? It existed in the YF-24/YF-24 Evolution. Frontier was the first (publicly) to incorporate it into a production VF. No, it can generate fold waves. Remember how Ranka felt the Vajra's pain or how Alto was able to communicate or hear Ranka/Sheryl with Sheryl's ear-ring in the series? Think more along the lines of that.

    So it's linked to their podcast, which probably references the original article on Screen Crave, which still says "robo-tech", which we still don't context for. Wow, talk about blowing it out of context...

    That's fine. As mikeszekely said, unless you need the range or have a broadband service that really is faster than your wireless' maximum speed (which will likely be no), there's no real use for upgrading to a N-based wireless setup.

    "swivel" may not necessarily equal "rotate". Since it is based off the Tornado pack, the wing-mounted engines may rotate just like the Tornado pack's engine pods.

    The new look from Jim Lee would have been better....

    Funny how the dash disappeared and the "R" capitalized itself from the article to the quote on RTX. I'm just sayin'...

    Always possible. Accounts are hacked everyday so changing your password is a good start. Make sure you make it a complex password or passphrase (using a combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, special characters, etc.) and avoid simple words that can be cracked with dictionary attacks. Yes. There are other free anti-virus scanners that you can download and scan your system with. I would also recommend running other adware and malware scanners. It's possible you picked up a key logger in your web surfing. And yes, be sure your anti-virus scanner is updating regularly.

    I found this to be a happy thought among the constant news of "impending doom". California student from Japan finds family alive on YouTube

    Allow me to fill your thoughts with a post I made in July 2010 regarding Gundam 00 in RT: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=33067&view=findpost&p=860228

    It's mostly the airports in the Tohoku region. Sendai, Sado, Iwate-Hanamaki, and Misawa Airports are closed. All other airports are open.

    It may take a little longer to get out of Japan with rolling blackouts and road closures, but it's safe to import.

    I hear that's still being used, just not here. In fact, we never created that one.

    Still, looking at the USGS' earthquake monitor, I haven't seen any aftershocks fall below a 4.5 and with larger ones hitting the 6-range. These aftershocks are probably not helping, mentally or structurally. The cascade effect is certainly peculiar. Related? Always possible given the relative time and locale between the 2.

    Before/After pics of quake and tsunami affected areas Many of the backup systems went down when they lost power. That's what happened at the Fukushima plant. The coolant backup systems lost power and the backup generators they were using eventually ran out of juice. And I heard they were using water to cool the reactors but with the stability of the backup systems right now, it's not getting any better.
