    Well, she can style her hair just by thinking about it...

    Rare shot---an actual round in mid-air from an A-10: http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Air/Fairchild-A-10A-Thunderbolt/1810250/L/

    The *only* version of the Macross I want is the original TV version. I don't require 100% accuracy, but the arms alone isn't nearly enough. (honestly, I'd like a slightly more subdued/detailed version of the TV one--kind of DYRL-esque, but keeping the basic shape and colors of the origina) Seconded, my feelings exactly. New arms won't change the overall transformation-look.

    That tells me the "Windows Experience" is BS----doubling the HDD access rate doesn't do anything?

    Possibly, as it's like a full minute, it's kind of hard to miss.

    Slats and leading edge flaps are not considered critical so they don't have a backup, only the trailing edge flaps do. Fokkers, CRJ's, early DC-9's don't even have any, so they're inherently not critical--much like thrust reversers, they're basically "nice to have" things that can actually royally screw you if they malfunction.

    Honestly, I think it's the hosts, not the cars, that make the show great. Thus, American Top Gear=Fail.

    Lots of airliner news today: 1. Re: RR engines. It's the IP turbine. (Intermediate Pressure). That's unique to RR engines; PW, GE, SNECMA, Volvo, etc all have just low and high pressure ones. 2. In even bigger news, 787 #2 made an emergency landing in Texas a few hours ago. Fire in avionics compartment, smoke in pax cabin and cockpit. Lost primary instruments for both Capt and F/O, auto-throttles gone, was using emergency RAT for power. Deployed all slides for emergency evac on touchdown.

    Plus and Frontier. Honestly might think Frontier is my fave. Will have to wait for the 2nd movie to be sure.

    While the super/armor parts are removable/swappable from the models---it's a lot of parts swapping and disassembly, and puts them under quite a bit of stress to remove the parts. It's not really recommended to change it once you've decided "what they'll wear".

    The multiple other users with Grace in their avatar discounts that.

    I'm still annoyed that we have TWO flightsuit Klans, and no flightsuit Grace. Or any Grace at all.
  14. David Hingtgen
    It sucks, basically. Get a VF-27 if you want something from Frontier.

    I have to second that M7 is one season padded out to two. It's 50% filler. You could cut entire eps and NOTHING would be lost.
  16. David Hingtgen
    Yes. No.
  17. David Hingtgen
    Fixed.

    I think the head is Depth Charge if anybody--but the colors wouldn't be much better. Having owned TM Depthcharge: Metallic sky blue overall with metallic aqua and purple paint accents. Deep magenta metallic bits. Chrome gold bits. Actually very Seacon-esque.

    Need a router! Current setup: Single PC wired directly to cable modem. Future/goal setup: Single PC wired directly, with a laptop, PS3, and 360 connected wirelessly. Suggestions?

    Watching the speedo on the left side in the first couple secs, it's amazing how linear the acceleration rate is from say 150 to 180.
  21. David Hingtgen
    It's part of the transformation to battroid, regardless of FAST packs. If they weren't like that, it'd be a very incorrect model.
  22. David Hingtgen
    Yup.

    I thought I saw something about Gallia IV being destroyed. Will have to try to find that line again. (have 2 different translations so far, haven't seen THORA's)
  24. David Hingtgen
    The fact that Gallia IV "already happened" IMHO bumps the movie up to covering through ep 14 or so. Everything between ep 7 and Gallia was skippable and won't be in the movie anyways. Also, the movie's drama took a lot of the elements from late in the series----Sheryl's backstory, Battle Frontier going all-out, heck--Brera! Of course the movie's going to have more drama than the series did at this point, if the movie gets to take all the good stuff from late in the series and move it to the front.
  25. David Hingtgen
    That's because they entirely cut out her "first dozen eps" where she is little more than a selfish bitchy diva. Of course she's more likeable, because they went straight to "vulnerable doubting herself used-to-be-a-street-urchin" Sheryl. They tossed out her development. Instead of the audience disliking, then liking her over the course of the series, she just starts out as likeable. I'm betting Ranka doesn't act like such a moron in the later eps/2nd movie this time around, too.
