If/when they announce Thundercracker I'll pick Skywarp up. I hope they do because I'd love to finally have the whole trio.

This is going to be interesting.

Holy poo poo I didn't read that. This list sucks balls now.

Prime deserves the #1 spot.

Wow. Just wow. I never expected this to happen. Did the planets align or something?

I know there was a "big" announcement today regarding the new models. Does Asus build the Shuffle now, or did they get a contract for the next-next version?

Huh? http://www.digitimes.com/NewsShow/NewsSear...p;query=ASUSTEK

Yes they upped the Shuffle and apparently it is made by Asus now. Or hell maybe it always was but that blew my mind.

Wow. That is awesome.

Yep. Now it is an ugly brown/green two tone. The nose art is a cartoonized version of the bomber itself. http://www.iapa.be/gallery/displayimage.ph...um=67&pos=0

Those pictures are awesome. Know why? They repainted Diamond Lil with some godawful ugly paint scheme. The nose art is GONE. Oh, and I know that it was a executive transport. They did say they were going to put some bomb bay doors on it. At least that is their plan. The new paint scheme is terrible though.

The price of two 8600s is almost exactly the same as an 8800gts, so I guess I'll stick with that. But I won't be building one for a while so maybe the 9800 will be out by then.

If I build a desktop, would I be better off getting two 8600GTS in SLI or one 8800GTS? I can't go all out and get top of the line, but I want to get good performance.

EDIT: Damnit I thought this was the geek superthread. Hurrr.

Keep in mind, this isn't exactly free. If I won a ride then sure, I'd go. Also, there was a B-17 here last year and that was offering rides as well. I assume there will be another one at some point in the future.

I think I'll pass on this one. The plane in question is the CAF's B-24, and I looked around the inside today. It's an older model that is missing the turrets, one of the waist guns, and the bomb bay doors aren't on it right now. The inside is neat, don't get me wrong, but I'd rather fly on a B-17G or a B-29. I guess Fifi (the B-29) usually travels with the B-24, but it is having its engines replaced right now. Damn. Edit: Well, I guess they don't give rides on the B-29, but damnit I want to see that beast.

If that is true... wow. I already detest the Sci-Fi channel.

I have an opportunity to ride in a B-24. Dunno if I want to, though.

I think Kevin Smith is a cool guy, but I can only stomach so much of Jay and Silent Bob. I'd probably put out some sort of fatwah if he put them in the background.

But Starbuck is one of the people on the cover... and they used it for the season 2 boxset.

Very impressive.

Seasons 1 and 2 DVDs had the sections on the cover, so I voted for C. It just flows better.

The 1/48s are the toys with the LEAST QC issues. Mine has the rubber joint seepage but that doesn't really bother me. Everything else is fantastic.

Some TIE models do have shields. Also: Star Destroyers. You can't top that poo.
