Probably not. He just happens to be using the same colors.

Majority of networks (mostly the ones who are affected, like SCI-FI) have probably known about the WGA strike, or more appropriately they knew a deal would not be hammered out, since summer. With the way things looked heading into the WGA strike, I believe SCI-FI knew a deal would not be hammered out so they decided to split the season to be on the safe side should the WGA strike happen (which it did). I think SCI-FI wasn't trying to kill the show which has brought in viewers, but they were covering their asses to be sure they would still have shows to air. They didn't explain it to anyone since it would have forced the hand of BSG producers and writers. If SCI-FI openly came out early and said, "We are delaying the season due to a possible writers strike", that would have probably pissed off the workers since now they would have to find temp jobs until the season started and then the producers would just say, "we will not work on the show if SCI-FI is going to do that". The last WGA strike lasted 5 months. We don't know how long this strike is going to last. We should be glad we are getting episodes by 2008, instead of waiting till 2009 for new episodes. As much as SCI-FI pissed off fans, I think they played a good hand at getting something out while they still could. Every show (except for The Simpsons) will not have more than 9-12 (maybe stretch to 15) episodes this season.

I believe they only got up to the half-way point, maybe a little farther. There was a little blurb in one of my previous postings from Mary McDonnell that they were filming one of her appearances in episode 11 or 13. So I would say half of the season is going to make it to post-production and to the airwaves.

It's official: BSG has shut down production. They have run out of scripts. http://www.mania.com/56656.html

DL's power affected anybody in physical contact with him.

Nah, chicks dig the ponytail....

I don't think it is a combined fleet. I doubt this "other fleet" will get much air time, period. The only mention of it is Sheryl Nome is traveling to our fleet-of-focus from another fleet. "Nearby" could mean several systems away, not hanging right near our fleet-of-focus.

No, it's not.

Lots of things: Possible storyline for the movie (WARNING, possible spoilers ahead): link If true, a response: link pics of Zachery Quinto as Spock and various set footage: link and here: link

Doesn't quite have the feel that one from GSD had...

Graham I think it's best to wait and see on the VF-171* designation. As more info comes out, we should get a yes or no about it. I'll just mark it with an asterisk until then. Perhaps the whole insignia issue relates to fleet or squadron markings. Maybe it's a private school or civil defense forces, not related to the UN military. The series will focus on just 1 fleet, F (Frontier). *Animedia Dec 07 designation

I do not have a scan of it, however there is a size lineup in the This is Animation: Macross 7 book.

The GN Blades are lighter versions of the GN Sword. Beams in 00 diffuse in atmosphere so their effective-ness is not as good as they would be in space. This is why Exia uses the GN Sword so much. If he wishes to use beam weapons, Setsuna needs to get Exia close or the effectiveness of his beam weapons decreases. His beam daggers take note of this. To offset his usage of beam weapons, they gave him the GN long and short blades. Like the GN sword, it is also coated with GN particles.

Please be very careful about posting info from the 2ch boards. The 2ch boards have a habit of posting rumor information. From the sounds of it, she's on tour, passing through fleets.

Yep, sounds like a Dell. Even if it did have a fan, it would have only been blowing air at or away from the CPU. As suggested, you may want to consider an after-market GPU cooler. In your case, I doubt 1 case fan is going to help, especially when you play for a long duration. Crysis is a heavy GPU-using game. I don't know if that 1 case fan will be able to keep up. And for those of you that didn't know, normal Dells come with only 1 case fan or don't have any fans in their cases. Reduces noise greatly considering that the only fan running would be the PSU fan. Many Dell systems now come with fans, but like their predecessors, those fans are moving air to or from the CPU. The only exception to the rule are the XPS systems, which actually do have decent cooling. However, most Dell systems are likely to never see heavy gaming usage so that's the idea behind the lack of fans.

That scene is probably of our protagonist in a training sim (He is in training after all). Probably a Basic Battroid Movement course he's in. Or perhaps the VF-19(main force)/VF-22(Spec Ops) became the fighter-of-choice for combat fleets. Colony fleets doesn't need expensive fighters for what would be 90%-survey missions. Look at M7. They only had VF-11s and a squad of VF-17s. It wasn't until nearly 5 months into combat with the Varauta that the VF-19 showed itself, and more than 10 months until they got a VF-22. Macross 5 only had mostly VF-11s, VA-14s (and probably VF-14s and I won't count the VAB-2 since they probably only had a handful just in case). From the article, it sounds like this particular fleet has been uneventful until we see them now. So did they even have a need for VF-19s/VF-22s? Probably not.

Unfortunately, Dell limits the speed on case fans intentionally to keep the noise low. They can reeve up faster but in those cases, the entire model line was defective. The other option for you is to open the case. The last line of Dimensions and the current Inspiron line come with panels for easy access. Prior to these models, they were designed with a swivel panel design. Opening the case does ruin the whole enclosed-system air-flow, but it does allow for the hot air to leave immediately.

Which Dell model do you have?

All I'll say about episode 6 is (since many probably have not seen it yet), .

Should have said the barrel is missing...For all we know, they could be A/B/C versions. Given the simplicity of it's design, that's actually not a far fetched idea...but we need more info. It could also be akin to the VF-9; a cheap fighter. Guess we have to wait the next few months for more info. It might be me, but I see no internal weapons palettes on that thing. No signs of mini-missile port or anything. I can't see the sides of the legs too well, but I don't see anything. Only a gunpod, a small shield, and head lasers. Now that's not to say there aren't FAST packs...but it doesn't look like the VF-25 is well armed outside the gunpod. Everything appears to be an add-on.

I'm gonna say it is a VF-17. A variant VF-17, but a VF-17 nonetheless. The cockpit layout, wing span, the tail fins, position of the legs/engines, and overall shape screams VF-17. It looks different because it is a CG render. But I'll bet it's a new variant; definitely not a M7-generation variant. The lasers around the cockpit are missing for starters. The VF-17 is primarily designed for space use.

I'm thinking 3-minute recap in the first episode. In fact, I expect it.

They're using a New-Macross class fleet. Lovely. Nice to see the VF-17 back again. BTW, the official site is being slashdotted. If you can't view it now, please check back later.

Technically...yes.

And people wonder why I'm asking for a translation of the article and not the postings from 2ch boards.
