    Just to follow down that thought from sketchley and Seto, the VF-25 was earmarked to be the new VF but that doesn't mean all other VFs were pushed out of service. VF-19s still exist in-service. VF-11s still exist in-service. Even VF-1s still exist in-service. As Macross-continuity likes to point out, VFs and pilots use up money. And just because one series shows new stuff being used in one part of the world or galaxy, doesn't mean other fighter-craft are not used elsewhere. With nearly 10 years of fighting, one wonders how many F-203s were made and shot down. Hence, they have to fill the void of pilots without fighters to pilot. I'm sure F-14s and whatever else they had left were upgraded with newer parts and pressed back into service. Same for the AUA. I'm sure the AUA didn't have massive quantities of MiM-31s out there so they had to fill it up with whatever they had left, like an old MiG-29. And would every squadron out there get a fancy new plane? No. Not immediately anyways. Not every squadron in the USAF is getting a F-22 tomorrow. Not every carrier in the US Navy is getting complement of F-35s next week. There are perfectly good F-16s and F/A-18s that should be used before the new stuff comes rolling in. I expect the same policy in the Macross-universe. There's a nice Tenjin-art that illustrates the point. It shows a VF-19 flying over a carrier and on the deck of that carrier is a mix of VF-19s and VF-11s. You go with what you got.

    Maybe Gunpla Builders realize 00 suits are a wee bit OP than some of those other MSs. I blame the GN Drives. Time to start modding my MG Exia.

    Heck, it looks like she'll be facing the new silver-haired girl if the OP means anything. She's gonna need to have her Gunpla stand on it's own.

    It's not really an engine but part of the air intake system. It's a secondary turbofan. It's described as The forward fans suck in air, compress it, then transfer it to the engine's compressors, which then gets heated and pushed out the other end. So it's helping it suck in more air for the engines. So the engines portrayed in the Master File are the engines. The fan-looking thing at the mouth of the intakes are just another set of fans to help suck in more air for the engines. It's not a secondary engine.

    It's someone's blind hope. Someone sees something on Deviantart, spreads it around, and then someone says "SEE!!!!!!! OMG!!!!! MOVIE!!!!!!".

    I could probably spend years reliving some of these. Software Library: MS-DOS Games Warning, some are NSFW.

    Not sure. We don't know if there will be another singer like Frontier or if it's a solo act. I'm sure they are starting to have an idea of who they want out of the ones they've gotten. But auditions are still open so they may get a last minute applicant. Those of us who have been the job interviewer know how much of a process this can be.

    Keep in mind a Full Access-pass is $1300. So it's really geared toward people of industry (i.e., get work to pay for it), but it is open to everyone.
  11. azrael
    Anyone can attend, but passes are like Comicon or E3. They sell like hotcakes and you're lucky if you get one. Folks in the industry have an easier time getting them cuz they go as exhibitors.

    I was arguing more for the advantages of USB3 Type-C. The design is still a rumor so things could change. But it would be silly for Apple to remove every port.
  15. azrael
    Actually that simplifies the number of ports and other headaches USB has caused. It also reduces the number of cables (a charging cable, a data cable, a power adapter cable, a display cable, etc). USB3 Type-C cables also are reversible and small. So no more "Which way do I put this in?"-questions.

    But keep in mind it's all relative. Miriya mopped the floor with technologically more advanced Fz-109s in her ancient VF-1. Or Isamu fighting in the more technologically incremental YF-19 versus Guld in a more technologically advanced YF-21. Or in Vanquish races, racers use sometimes inferior VFs in competition compared to racers who use more advanced VFs. While racers may modify their VFs to compete with, older VFs lack some of the built-in technological advances of newer VFs, making the older VFs more temperamental to changes made to bring them up to competition.

    Basara pilots his VF, performing high-G maneuvers, while singing. And he does it almost effortlessly. You may want to watch M7 as this point is mentioned several times.

    *raises hand* The con actually started on Sunday with the pre-show. There haven't been any attention grabbers this year. Just a lot of makers doubling-down on certain product classes. Lots of "smart" products. More TVs entering the 4K HD-range.

    Heck, Lucas made a point of pointing that out for the prequels' BTS-episodes. (I miss this stuff, BTW. These days I have to wait for a freakin disc to see this.)

    Guess they have to throw in some decent fighting in there. ‘Star Wars: Episode VII’ Adds Martial Arts Stars From ‘The Raid 2′ (The Wrap)

    She'll just be called "The Major" through the whole movie. That's how they'll get around that whole name thing.

    EXO got 2 out of 4 right.

    That's why it's advertised against the Macbook Air and not the iPad. When the Surface Pro 3 (or was it the Surface Pro 2) was announced, something that was pointed out was the price tag, without the TypeCover. I found it odd MS is advertising it against a laptop without a keyboard component and then charge your extra for the keyboard which is featured it the commercials and is somewhat needed for actual usage.

    I would also use the HDMI plug for the best results (or DisplayPort if you have it).
