The computer and electronics super geek thread
azrael replied to Dante74's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
I would look at something similar to the XPS 1730. If you want to go with a Quadro FX, you may want to look at the Dell Precision-line or Lenovo Thinkpad W-series as a basis. Work-to-home traveling is fine but I would not recommend bringing a 17" on long-distance travel. A Dell 2009W 20" is a decent monitor. You can also try the Samsungs. 19" widescreens are squished compared to the 20" widescreens. If you plan on going with a 19", I would get a 4:3. You should go to Widescreen Gaming Forums. People have varying success with their monitors so I can't recommend any one company over another. -

What you plan on doing with it will affect my answer. -

It would be nice if they had 1 humor scene like that every episode. Those Vashtis. Mom is a MILF, daughter is nutjob and dad is...well funny. Ribbon's response: "Damn h4x0rs." -

I suggest a 19". If you do multimedia work, I suggest going with, at minimum, a 20" widescreen. -

What a shocker, if you haven't been following the manga/novels... -

That's what I've been hearing. Granted my copies of the Windows 7 ISOs are still sitting on my machine at work so I haven't had a chance to try it. All the perks of Vista without all the problems of Vista. I may consider Vista for my home machine (I use it at work) but I'm getting a better vibe from Windows 7 so I may just jump from XP to 7. Do you plan on traveling with the laptop or do you just plan on bringing it to and from work? What size screen do you prefer? If you plan on graphics work, I recommend, at a minimum, a 15" screen. -
I just wish they would stop naming carriers after people, period.

Don't worry, they have plenty of time to screw things up. It's only in beta right now. -
MKVs, MP4s, and AVIs.

Menclave is up to 17 so you can get a bit farther with their subs.

Well it should be faster, that is the whole point of Windows 7. -

I don't think Marie is the kinda girl who wear's pink. -
Yeh, it's time to end this thread. But I'll leave you with something to remind people with when posting repetitive questions:
-
Looks like we may have an answer or something next week. L.A. Dispatch: Settlement Likely in “Watchmen” Dispute (New York Times)

Also, it depends on the contract that was made and how they deal with international licensing (and unless this becomes a legal issue) we will never see those contracts. Redwolf kinda has the idea. The length of M7 won't be as big of a issue. Because the songs were made specifically for the show, how many times they're used would have factored into the original contract of the show (think of it as theme music) so I won't worry about length unless you want to itemize it which would be a royal pain-in-the-.... The issue I would be worry about is the sheer number of songs made for the series that would eat up more money than the show itself. Consequently, Frontier might also suffer from this problem. Now for the songs specific to M7, royalties would probably have to be paid to singers (songwriters I'm going to say maybe, but I'm inclined to say no because that might fall in the category of "work-for-hire") and the license holder, i.e. Victor Entertainment/JVC. Most shows don't have the sheer number of songs as Macross so the price is going to be much higher than normal. Much much higher. Then we get to the issue of the other non-M7 soundtracks. You would probably have to pay the licensing fees for that and then, when you import it, you would probably have to pay the international licensee of that soundtrack (since it uses music from M+ and MII, that would be Manga Entertainment and since it also uses DYRL? music, good luck finding who has the license to that music). So you end up paying more than you could probably be making a profit out of. In MF's case, again we would have the same issue. Number of songs is relatively high so it's going to be a little hard to get that over. Then you have usage of other series' songs (M7, DYRL? and SDFM). So you'll need to pay a fee for those and whomever is the international licensee of those soundtracks. Now keep in mind who would likely be the licensee of the SDFM tracks. Surprisingly, M0 would probably have the easiest time coming over since it uses no soundtracks from any previous show.

If he didn't settle it in the series, what makes you think Kawamori will settle it in the movie?

I call these my "gut-reaction" answers. 1. Which girl got Alto? - a new perspective on this fascinating topic. "ménage à trois " and "Orgy" are such an underused words these days. 2. What was the mystery fighter that appeared at the end of Macross Frontier Episode 5? Your momma. 3. There were a few badly animated frames in Macross Frontier. Did you notice? No. You should seriously get your eyes checked. 750/750 lens aren't strong enough. 4. Which is canon? DYRL or SDF:M? Whichever one floats your boat. 5. What is the significance of the spiral markings on the Vajra? They have to be there as a clue? Don't they? Animators had to fill some space on the designs. Haven't you ever seen the iPod, designed by Microsoft? 6. Will we ever find out what happened to Shin and Sara? The other great mystery couple of the Macross Saga! Same answer to the question "Will we ever find who keeps producing pineapples in Macross?". 9. HG vs Macek. Which is more evil? Neither. Apple eats 'em both for a midnight snack.

Many moons ago, I wrote this on the first page of the original newbie thread (post IPB-conversion): http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...post&p=1608 And yet every year, it's always asked.
