New clear pics of Armored VF-25F Alto. At least it can stand in GERWALK mode...

Most DIY motherboards have a single PATA connector for legacy. So you will be able to hook up those hard drives and pull the data off/reformat. Laptops aren't really far behind. Only a generation behind so you'll be able to get by with a fairly recent laptop. Since laptops are all-in-one systems and desktops, you can mix-and-match, there is a price difference. Considering your uses, I'd recommend a 15"-17" laptop. These would be considered in the realm of "desktop replacement". Since you want to throw in gaming, I'd recommend avoiding laptops with Intel video chipsets. The Dell Studio and XPS lines or the HP HDX 16t/18t and dv6t/dv7t with their ATi/Nvidia graphics chipsets would be preferred. You're looking at about a $800 minimum due to the better graphics card. Most files can be moved from Mac to PC and vice versa with little issues. For the Mac side, you can get away with the Macbook for video editing since it uses a Nvidia 9400M video chipset. The only downside is the 13.3" screen so video editing on that size may be problematic. You can attach a larger monitor so that option is open to your wife. If she plans on working from the laptop exclusively with no external monitor, I'd recommend the Macbook Pro for the larger screens.

The 1/72 models are display pieces. You build it, you display it. But if your over handle it, it will be floppy, the decals will start shredding, it may attract some unsightly marks, etc. The 1/60 DX toys are meant to be mishandled, transformed hundreds of times, and are solid toys. The 1/72 models sacrifice durability for looks and you have to build it yourself. The 1/60 toys sacrifice looks for durability and you don't have to build it.

Not to mention I've already mentioned it's from the box that comes with Vol. 9 DVD/Blu-Ray.

Or Ebay, Yahoo Auctions, etc.

How big are we talking about? Since you're going to be traveling with it, size can be an issue.

Same here. I'd rather not be involved in any way with what some of you want to do.

Having the head lasers pointing to the back would make it hard to get a gun-lock since you're being shot at and if you're too close for missiles.

Now just apply a downward force and.... show us some Yamato QC.

Well, you would think a guy of his age would be over his fanboy-crush with that idol. Let's just say I don't see too many 65+ year-old people going after Patti Page for an autograph, unless you're a stalker .

Same way we developed airplanes. Studied the Vajra and fold quartz, trial and error, and lots of crash test dummies.

Let's try to keep this to toys and the "pig" flu. And unless you decide to import your toys from Mexico....I'm just going to say, "meh."

Talk about compression. Guess we'll be moving on to M+'s timeline real soon then. They could save this for the end of the publication instead of doing this now...For all we know, we might end up with 6 binders worth of stuff.

Those are from the box that comes with vol. 9 DVD/Blu-Rays discs.

Paramount Pictures just confirmed that a new trailer for G.I. Joe will be before Star Trek in theaters and even better, it will hit the Internet first on Friday May 1st. The trailer will be released by MySpace at 4:30 PM and then we will have it right here on Trailer Addict.

Roberto Orci: Frank Welker To Officially Voice Soundwave

I don't think they fix your playback issues. The readme file that comes with the patch seems to indicate certain time stamps. Now they may fix those glitches that would correct the playback, but I'm not sure since I haven't bothered to download the rips.

You can stop staring at me now....

Here are the numbers: 'Heroes,' 'Chuck': Dramatic seasons, typical finales

Exactly. I, for one, am happy that I don't need to dig through x-number of books to find references or attempt to read some gawd-awful handwriting. I just can search the Chronicle to find the text and be merry.

Evil intentions aside, Grace's plan was to unite the galaxy did have it's merits. Instantaneous communication would have been possible under the plan.

We'll just continue the discussion of the last thread here. Hopefully, minus some of the BS from the last version of this thread.

http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=29229 The UN didn't exactly break down. Kawamori says that UN adapted itself into NUN as the universe got bigger for humans. Controlling hundreds of worlds (and fleets) from Earth isn't feasible anymore given the distance between the colonies and Earth. It wasn't a a coup, but the human world realigning itself to the galaxy at large. You can't govern a new world from afar. In essence, it became much like our modern UN. Colonies are members of the NUN, but they are free to govern their own worlds as they wish.

Well, in the current state of things, there aren't too many places to get monitors. Best Buy or Fry's is probably the only places left. 17" LCD monitors are probably the smallest you'll find these days.

I don't think the radio dramas are going to be that big of an issue since we're just talking about music licenses and that would fall with Victor.
