    Yeah...we're already talking about it here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=35118 Feel free to stop by.

    Hence the reboot. If we strip away everything but the name, will it still stand? Although, the RT franchise has been creatively bankrupt from the start since they adapted 3 unrelated shows into their "universe". I'm just giving them a chance to finally break free, should they choose to accept it. If they choose not to, then we know that creative bankruptcy knows no bounds.

    No.

    See, if Row-bow-tech was truly an awe-inspiring series, something that has stood the test of time, blah blah blah, etc., then you won't need to splash a random image of Macross in the ad(s). It should be able to do it by name alone. Even if this is some ad agency doing the poster, the fact that they put it there only proves Row-bow-tech can't stand on its own. So we come to a "prove me wrong"-moment. Prove to me that you don't need Macross and its franchise, Southern Cross, and Mospeada to survive. If Robotech did such a good job of improving these stories, then you won't need them. Reboot the franchise. If it has stood up all these years, a reboot will not hurt it. Take away the old character and mecha designs and create new ones. Redo the story so that they're strung together into one coherent story instead of Carl Maeck's 90-second sewing job. Stop relying on Macross and its franchise, Southern Cross, and Mospeada. Stop trying to make sequels or sidquels. Stop trying to sell collection set after collection set. Reboot the whole franchise and start fresh. If that can be done, then it will earn my respect. 'Til then.

    So the people who made that poster, Entertainment One, Ltd., realized Tommy's artwork sucks and resorted to using something from Frontier to make the poster look better? Ouch. Tommy should sue them for defamation.

    Honestly, 16 GB of RAM is a bit much. Even at my worst, I'll probably never break 5 of my 12GB. Also, for the price of that SSD, you could probably get a Raptor or a higher capacity HD for the price. I know SSDs are quite popular and people love the fast access, but if you want to be economical, a SSD probably isn't something I would consider.

    It was a good episode, but not the best so far. I would like to see a little more backstory on rest of the cast before we spend some time on the main story though.

    Maybe Cameron should do a non-Avatar 3D flick just to demonstrate "This is how you frakin' use 3D, ya dumbasses".

    If you're softcoding the subs, I believe you can specify which fonts to use in both Mplayer and VLC which will override any specific fonts of the file. Hardcoding should be able to avoid that problem.

    In terms of synthetic benchmarks, I would say it's better to get the E6800. How that would translate to the real-world, I can't say. That extra speed may make up for the 1/3 less cache. At the same time, the extra cache of the E7600 would help make things run faster by reducing load times. Because these 2 processors are nearly identical, it's hard to answer the question.
  11. azrael
    I had that same CPU and mobo.... You want more L2 cache or would you be happy with 2MB of L2? Other than that, that's all the E7600 has going on it. Spec wise, they're the same. If you want to save the money and spend it on something else, I'd go with the E6800.

    If you can find cheap RAM, then I would definitely just upgrade to a minimum of 2GB. But yes, DDR is old and well, you can find 4GB of DDR3 for half that price whereas a single 1GB stick of DDR could cost you $50. But I would agree with mikeszekely, an upgrade would be preferable. Honestly, you can shoot low with a micro-ATX, Intel Core i3 or i5/AMD X2 or X3 (Athlon or Phenom), built-in video (like the Intel HD 3000 or AMD 700/800 series graphics) and be fine.

    And comes the eternal question, what are the parents using it for?
  14. azrael
    And the PC and smartphone markets. Heck, the fate of webOS is up in the air too.

    See, it's not a bad reboot. In fact, it's pretty good.
  16. azrael
    It's fan art. You know, the usual RT-fans mooching of other shows.

    In case no one can read the AU site of ANN, here's the main site link: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-08-17/jmanga-manga-site-launches-with-100-new-titles

    Look at the side effects.... *pulls out laundry list* Yes there's more but you know how it is with fine print.

    How else do you expect them to make the laptop so thin? How old is the laptop? You may find one for old old ones but newer ones usually have the video card soldered to the motherboard. Either way, you'll probably be searching Ebay or Craigslist for a video card.
  20. azrael
    Ebay? Unless the laptop has a MXM, Axiom, or proprietary "Dell slot", it is nearly impossible to replace video cards of notebooks.

    Everything is powered by Protoculture in the happy land of Rowbow-tech.
  22. azrael
    They usually don't make those because those 2 extra pins are usually for controlling the fan speed so I won't try to solder a molex into that. A 3-pin to molex adapter should work with that motherboard connector.
  23. azrael
    You mean a molex power connector to a 4-pin power connector? Isn't that the same thing? Or you mean a molex to a 4-pin PSU cable? Or a molex to a 4-pin connector cable/splitter?

    He's "checkin his e-mail". Really, most panels usually have 1 laptop for the presentation and yet I see 2... possibly 3. So whatever is on their laptop screens is more important than the "crowd"? How sad.

    What you found is probably all they've release to the press (i.e. TV Guide/TV listings/etc.), so far. Somewhat similar to how comic companies are releasing the solicitations for November's releases this month. By the end of the month, they'll get the schedule and info for whatever airs in November/December. And then the next month, they'll get the next schedule and so on. They may change the titles of the episodes and/or they may do some schedule changes for sweeps-periods, etc.. Anyways, great episode this week. Kinda sad.
