Setsuna may suffer from PTSD, considering what he daydreams about....

We should adopt the motto of some Gundam forums: "It's all Macross. It's all good."

It contains mostly the openings and endings of all series (including the SD version of SDFM's opening), cinematic sequences of most of the games, toy commercials for the olde VF-1 toys, and various other video montages. Then it has a preview of M0. And yes, it's on YouTube.

Great...Allelujah is .

I expect lots of pre-emps during the November/December thru New Year's, so meh.

A wash is the preferred method for thin panel lines. You could also try using an ultra fine permanent marker or buying a Gundam marker to do the fine panel lining.

The best thing to do is mask the area around the line and paint the line (This is done when you detail the model). Remove the masking tape and your line should be fine.

Looks like Origins is getting shelved due to the writers strike or won't come until NBC starts running out of reality shows. Link: http://www.superherohype.com/news/topnews.php?id=6479

"The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules, and tonight, you're going to break your one rule." Why so Serious?

The whole Claire-arc isn't working for me. The whole is drudging along and I find it really boring. The Petrelli bros' and Parkman's arc are still good. Hiro's story is still good. Especially since we know what is suppose to happen (just the silly details are fun).

There are some, but not many. Alienware notebooks have lots of panels for easier access, but they have a price tag to match.

To build on that, I have worked on laptops and they are a nuisance. The screws are generally very small (akin to eyeglass screws) and are easy to misplace. With Dell laptops, some of them have to be accessed through the keyboard and that requires a delicate hand as it is easy to damage components through that route. I haven't cracked any plastic but I've come close. I prefer to have a hatch or door to components. If I have to open a laptop up to the point where I am removing the chassis, I would weigh in getting a new laptop. Now to the subject of the fan, something like that would require a decent amount of disassembly. If you feel up to it, go ahead and replace it yourself. Out of curiousity, what model of Toshiba is the laptop?

Considering that it's priced less than the 8800GTS, compromised specs between the GTS and GTX, the 8800GT is the perfect replacement for a 8800GTS. Heck, I would probably sell my 8800GTS for a 8800GT. It has a lower profile, smaller die-size and has a lower TDP. The 8800GT is now more worth it to the gamer with a budget.

.mkv is just a container format. The video is Xvid or DivX with additional audio streams (if included) and subtitle streams (if included). You can convert a .mkv file to dvd (or avi), but you will need to re-encode the appropriate streams.

Episode 4 has lots of dialog. The action sequences are somewhat less in this episode.

This week was kind-of a filler. But there's lots of politics in this episode.

Nice take on the old Centurion in this week's Flashback. Looks like they removed the body glove from the old costume.

Ummmm, nah. I think you're setting yourself up for disappointment.

Yes. The VF-14 was the primary fighter for emigration fleets, including Zentradi.

The glossy screen is fine for indoors. Outdoors is not a good place for glossy. Considering you don't have a desktop, I would really suggest the MBP. The 13" MB is more of a supplement computer to a desktop. The MBPs are what I would consider a desktop replacement unless your usage really doesn't warrant a MBP. But yes, the MB will handle CS3 and GarageBand just fine. Although, I would bump up the RAM to 2GB. But this can be done on your own.

The main reason for the switch from the VF-4 to the VF-5000 was primarily costs. The entries for the VF-4 or VF-5000 do not indicate that atmospheric performance was an issue. As such, it would be prudent to say that performance was NOT an issue between the VF-4 and VF-5000. The entry for the VF-5000 clearly indicates that cost of production and maintenance was the deciding factor to the VF-5000's introduction. Not really... The VF/VA-14's role was delegated more toward colonial and specialized fleets. It wasn't a primary-fleet VF. That role went to the VF-4/VF-5000/VF-11. VF-14 VF-5000 VF-4

I will soon, mostly because I get a nice, near half-off discount for the OS. Macs have changed a bit since you used them, but you should be able to get around. If anything, dual-boot Windows on it and you'll be fine. As for which one...The MB is perfect for 'net, regular office work (word processing, spreadsheets, etc), a DVD or two, some quick Photoshop, and other everyday day tasks. The plus here is the screen-size. At 13", it's just big enough to fit and carry without too much trouble. The MBP is more for the Pro who needs screen size (15" or 17") on-the-go, gamers, and people who need the horse-power to drive some apps (like Photoshop for hours at a time). Here's a good thread: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=354287 If you have a desktop that can do the heavy stuff, you'll probably want to stick with the MB. You can bump up the ram on the MB and it should handle Photoshop just fine. The down side of using Photoshop on a MB is the 13" screen.

It's all about the sunglasses. You know it.
