There's always a chance to milk more from 00. It could be.

They mention "Eagle Nest Aerial Tactics Center" where Milia was an instructor. That's about it.

Since the Armored Alto isn't out yet, we won't know for sure what parts have been changed to fit the original model. Colors will have to be repainted on your own.

sketchley, SchizophrenicMC, if you 2 want to carry this one-liner thing to PM, by all means. But enough of trading insults on the on board.

Gaming laptops...hmmm HP HDX 18t runs just above 1k for a 18" wide screen basic model. MSI has a few that you might want to look at. The MSI GT725-series might be worth taking a look at.

Haven't had a chance to look at it. But I'm not one for beta browsers. I may take a look at it. It's feedback. Low-profile keyboards doesn't make players feel like they're pressing something on the keyboard. They don't feel the keys as well as a normal keyboard. Lots of players don't even look at their keyboards when they play so with a low-profile board, many don't know what key they're pressing. Now for eugimon...

It helps to know where these details come from...

What did you have in mind? Did you want to go ATi or Nvidia? Dual or quad-core? What games did you have in mind for the rig?

I don't know...episode 1 of MF seemed to reinforce that perception.

Aretha Franklin and (in some instances) Bette Midler are "divas".

1st Diva VF pilot. Hehe. The Jenius' already hold the 1st female VF pilot (Milia) and 1st female Singer (Mylene). All we need now is some older woman pilot going after the young newbie pilots and she'd be the 1st Cougar VF pilot.

It shouldn't. SMPlayer is just a front-end for MPlayer (not to be confused with Windows Media Player's EXE "mplayer2.exe"). And I've played vids with MPC and SMPlayer and neither have given me problems like WMP.

It does sound like a driver so a new card may not help. Probably make make things worst. The other problem is DirectX. AvP 1 used DirectX 6.0. We're on 10.1 now. Lots of changes have happened since then. Try Media Player Classic or SMPlayer. I've had this problem on a test machine with Gundam 00 S2. Using MPC cleared up the issues.

I don't think it's as big legal thing that has WB standing-fast on RT-LAM. The plot of RT alone is more than enough to get by. "Alien ship crashes on Earth. Earth gains a whole bunch of new technology from it just in time to enter into a war with some aliens." That alone is fairly generic to avoid licensing issues. After that, you can redesign a lot of things which is most likely to happen. Riding the wave of Transformers can be a good thing, but at the same time, it can be seen as WB's attempt to grab some of the transforming toy market. So we look at the larger market. Is there a market for this movie? I have to compare with what's out there. Speed Racer, visual very close to the anime, but with Americanized feel. That didn't work. DB: Evolution, visual similar with a altered story. That didn't work either. SF: Legend of Chun Li. That just didn't work. Transformers, not very visually similar to the original, lot of "in spirit" designs and story, but it's a hit. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, some visuals are close, most are not and the story is a bit different. We're waiting for the jury to get back to us on that. If G.I. Joe doesn't do well, it may make WB more reluctant to jump on this bandwagon. I'm sure there's more but those are the ones that come to mind. If RT wants to continue, it would be best to redesign. Star Trek did it and it seemed to have worked out fairly well for them. Now there's good example of taking old characters and designs and doing something fresh with it. It's within HG's scope to create "new" RT-stuff.

For future reference, Beltane70 is correct. It does matter which PS/2 port you plug 'em into. It's mainly due to compatibility issues for older equipment. USB mice are fairly the norm leaving only PS/2 keyboards still being used. A common trend on motherboards these days is to leave a single PS/2 socket for keyboards with a pair of USB plugs next to it.

Variety and many of those entertainment outlets are entertainment news publications. They are in the business of reporting entertainment news. Licensing RT for a live-action production is entertainment news. While TransBayformers and a few others, may have been gold, other productions have faltered. Now, TF:RotF will probably be a hit, but at the same time, G.I. Joe:RoC might be looking at a bust. And with other anime icons like those mentioned in the post above stumbling in the box office, WB is probably taking a wait-and-see approach to a RT-LAM. Licensing issues aside, the feedback from turning old series or comics into live-action movies has been quite bumpy. While we have a few successful franchises, we also have ones that just couldn't stand up.

Using a USB wireless NIC would only affect your computer performance and the hit is negligible/non-existent. 'Net performance hits aren't much of an issue but since you are using the USB controller which then passes it to the chipset, then to the cpu, blah blah blah..., you are slowing things down slightly (when I say slightly, I'm talking 0.00000...-something seconds). As long as you have the USB NIC on it's own USB plug (not behind a USB hub), I won't worry.

That and we're trying to bury this Ohnogi-worked-on-MF-nonsense under 1000 ft of dirt, several layers of concrete, about 10m thick solid titanium-composite armor and a moat with sharks with freakin-lasers on their heads. Nothing like disproving (i.e. beating) something down, shooting it, poisoning it, then throwing it into a sack and tossing it into a river. Oh wait, most of that didn't work on the last guy that happened to.

5 minutes of new footage and no dialog...Really...what do you want to talk about? Yoshinol is much better when going on an acid-trip. You should try it.

At least the broken TV and remote incidents will go down. At the same time, I think hospital ER visits will rise. "My friend did a combo move while playing Tekken on my Xbox. The force feedback was great until hit #2 of 100. After that, it was all a blur."

Because for most people, it works and works well. The memory footprint is much less than Vista's. It's faster than Vista under the same conditions. It is still a very stable OS for many people. There's also a lot of programs that were coded for XP. That's why people still use it. It still works and as long as it does, people will still use it. New =/= better as Vista showed us.

Gotta remind myself to pre-order it. Comes with: 2 LEDs Chrome plated GN Long and Short Blade, GN Sword and GN beam rifle muzzle Comes with parts for Exia Repair http://ngeekhiong.blogspot.com/2009/06/mg-...res-others.html

I'm working with Win 7 RC1 on my VM and I've noticed it to be much more polished than the Beta. But, I have notice some initial higher memory consumption compared to the beta. Nothing that would turn me off like Vista did but something I've been keeping tabs on. I'll definitely switch to Win7 when I rebuild my OS around X'mas but I'm hoping they don't pull any funny business with the RTM/final release.

1) Doesn't mean Chris Nolan will actually do a RT film. He wanted to film The Dark Knight in IMAX cuz he was working on it the actual production. There's no director attached to this production so it's hard to gauge what someone wants when we don't even know if they will actually work on it. And as of Feb. 2009, Chuck Roven is no longer involved in this project. (Linky) 2) Normally they don't disclose the amount for things like this, unless it goes to open court. 3) If they hire a director or start casting then we have a script/screenplay. Lawrence Kasdan wrote something up. Then Alfred Gough and Miles Millar came on board. Normally, we hear of script reviews as the studio either leaks it or starts fishing for a production staff. As Einherjar said, that's the one of the few ways we know if anything is being done on movies.
