    I loaded Boeing's page in Firefox in about 9-10 seconds with nothing cached. Chrome loaded it in about 11 seconds. Reloading from cache with Firefox was about 3 seconds. There are tweaks you can make to Firefox's about:config to hopefully speed it up. You might want to try some of those. Speeding up Firefox the right way A handful of Firefox tweaks that will double your browser speed Chrome is a nice fast and somewhat light browser, but I find its customization to be dreadfully lacking. Simple things like clearing the cache/history/cookies on exit has to be done with an extension or be stuck in viewing in Incognito-mode ("Porn"-mode/Privacy mode/whatever you wanna call it). Adblocking extensions only block it from view, not block from loading. I switched to Chrome as my secondary browser over Opera. That's my $0.02.

    It's a general disclaimer. Some items cannot be imported/exported to due import/export restrictions. It's on every page of AmiAmi's English site. If I were to buy a Seburo M-5 pistol made by Poseidon from Poesidon or any other distributor, they would not be able to sell to me due to import/export restrictions on firearms and prop-firearm sales. Other products can also carry that restriction. You're reading WAY too much into it. If you notice, the hybrid Blu-ray is listed under "Games". Macross Ace Frontier and Macross Ultimate Frontier are also games and guess what: "We're sorry; this item can not be shipped outside Japan". If I wanted a Japanese copy of Windows 7 from Amazon, guess what? "We're sorry; this item can not be shipped outside Japan". What if I want Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker for PSP from Amazon? "We're sorry; this item can not be shipped outside Japan". As you can see, it's just software sales restriction. And because the hybrid Blu-ray has a copy of Macross Trial Frontier for PS3, it's software, so Amazon will not import it. Now if Amazon listed it as a movie release, they would probably sell it overseas. Speaking of which folks, HMV has the Hybrid Pack up for pre-order. Still no sign of the regular Blu-Ray or DVD preorder yet. Do I have to buy the Hybrid pack?

    I'm sorry, why are we arguing about what an OVA/OAV is? It's a direct-to-home-video release. That's all it is for crying out loud. Japanese do it one way, Yanks do it another. Either way it's a "direct-to-home video release". Good grief. It's like someone saying "pOOtato" vs. "pAtato".

    If it does, then I'll get one. But if Bandai is gonna mold milk, then I'll save my money for the commander-type.

    I want the ReZEL commander-type... !@#$%^&*()

    I'll check the Chronicle if they appear in there. I thought I saw the lineart in one of the "Extra Report" boxes. If not, I would classify it as "closest representation" of it considering the outer hull was nicely seared.

    Depending on the benchmark, the Phenom II X4 955 might seem a better bang for the buck at stock settings instead of the 965. They seem good enough to take on a quad-core Core 2. I'd save the money and spend it on the video card. ATI seems to be doing much better than Nvidia these days. If you like Nvidia, I'd suggest the GTX 460 as a good bang-for-buck gaming card. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 is a very good feature mid-range card with HDMI, but a 4870 or a GTX 260 would be a better performer. The best ATI card out there is the 5870 (or any of the 5800s) but that would would be 1/2-3/4 the cost of your initial budget so I probably won't look at those.

    Are you hoping to use it as a DVR at some point or strictly gaming? Please add additional info if needed.
  9. azrael
    Nope.

    How much are you willing to spend for a potential HTPC/Gaming setup?
  11. azrael
    Yes, BDI is introduced but like the VF-22, it's a partial system, not a full.

    Geez, can't I start a day without someone complaining? (Don't answer that) Svea Macek is OFF-LIMITS. Then blast away.

    Oh good, we're finally going beyond Caprica.

    From the way it reads (and considering it's Bandai-Namco), it sounds like they're promoting the game 1st, movie as the added feature. It doesn't answer the question of when is the DVD/Blu-ray coming out. It should be on or around that time since I'm sure Bandai would rather not cannibalize their Blu-Ray/DVD sales.

    BUSTED!

    You trying to tell us something about how you play with your valks?

    Even Amazon Japan, which like its USA counterpart, has a tendency to list items well before an official announced street date, doesn't list it. This makes me wonder if it's actually the game that's coming out and a digital copy of the movie that's been added to it. Anybody have a copy of this month's Famitsu magazine to confirm what it says?

    I probably should mention that if HG is going to be any part of the panel, you'll probably want to drop the whole license thing altogether, as it would be a 30-min of Carl-tribute from them.

    Well then, my answer to you would be to create another user account on the system and test Firefox.

    Just reiterating it here: Namco Bandai Bundling PS3 Macross Game With Movie - New entry in Frontier series to come packed with Macross Frontier the Movie: The False Songstress. So it's possibly coming out on October 7th, 2010, or at least with whatever Namco/Bandai is releasing with it.
  21. azrael
    Sure....BUT, you'll probably want to read the stuff I have in there since most people don't nor do they take the time to even understand what any of it means. And actually research Japanese copyright (i.e., Just spend an hour on Wikipedia) and other material. Five seconds using Google will probably give you more than enough material to research. Heck, I would pick the brains of an intellectual property lawyer.

    Do other user accounts on this computer exhibit this problem when using Firefox? Because I ran Firefox on several Vista setups and it never gave me a problem.

    And at a time when we didn't have much information about the mechs in the show no less. And the response that brought this thread back has nothing to do with the topic. Good. Grief.
  24. azrael
    No.
