  1. As I said, they may just showcase scratch-built kits. A scratch-built Anf, various Tierens models, Flag variants, Enact variants, Hellion, Alvatore/Alvaaron, 0 Gundam, GN-X III, and even a scratch-built 00 show up in the Gundam 00 Archive yet no model exists for it or none was produced at the time the book went to print. This is a Dengeki Hobby book. They will scratch-build it if they must. Also, I won't put too much thought into "Archive". That's just marketing.
  2. They would be riding on Transformers 2: RotF's coattails for the LAM. But yes, movies based on old franchises or adapted from cartoons isn't holding much water right now. Cartoon-wise, they would be on their own. Both Macross and Gundam shows ended a while ago. But Gundam 00's second season will start airing on Sci-Fi on June 29th. Even with that, you can't be sure. Normally, a cartoon would follow a live action flick if it wants some good recognition. But a cartoon eventually will have to stand on its own once a live-action goes away. Transfromers: Animated held its ground fairly well after the live-action movie faded to DVD. So would it be good timing? Dunno. A cartoon may not have as much recognition on its own without a live-action movie. For a live-action movie? There might be a market saturation if they do and will ultimately be decided by the market as to how well it might do.
  3. It's actually suppose to be faster for smaller file systems head repositioning. Instead of indexing a MFT the size of a 320 GB hard drive, you can partition off a 100GB and index that faster than a 320GB partition or make the head move less since the reading head only has to access a small area as oppose to a large partition with lots of room to access. I've used this method for years and I've never had a problem with it.
  4. Another thing to keep in mind is when M7 came on, that was almost 14 years ago. Those people who watched it then are now in their late 20s now. Even kids who would have watched it back then are now college kids. It's like asking us "Do you remember EXO Squad or Star Trek:TNG?" I watched a few clips on Youtube and the thought "Oh yeah, I remember that" pops into my head. Heck, I'm starting to forget most of the minor details of RDM's BSG now and that show ended months ago. So I'm not surprised that people have forgotten M7. In another year or 2, people will start to forget about Macross Frontier (TV).
  5. Ironhide died in your version of the first movie? Whoa that's a change.
  6. New MG Exia images. I can make the GN-drive pull a R2 move by un-clamping it.
  7. Maybe? It will probably be like the Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Archives. 1/2 or more of it will be dedicated to the 1/72 models and scratch-built kits while the remainder will be the animation lin art, model lineart and commentary. I have the Gundam 00 Archives and it only covers Season 1 but 2/3 of the book is dedicated to models. I expect the same with this book. Most of it will be models (This is a Dengeki Hobby book after all) and the rest will be the CG lineart which is out there and then the 1/72 model lineart which is floating out there.
  8. Then we get into the Micro-ATX sizes. If you want that size, then I can rework some of it. The size of video cards today kinda forces us to pick a mid-ATX cases. The other option is to get a lower-end card, like a 9-series GeForce. 4870s are going down in price. Not cheaper than that though. The lowest P45/P43 board is this guy: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16813128380 Actually, I would look around for a cheaper one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817182185 I've had Seagates last on me but after that whole firmware fiasco, one can never be sure. I've also had some Western Digitals that don't want to die.
  9. Yeh, I've notice lots of ad-sites hosting crap over the past year.
  10. Fan speak is one thing. But financial statistics are concrete evidence.
  11. Must have been a project to mount that on the ceiling. Sitting upside-down probably didn't help either. Unless you plan on running a 64-bit version of Windows (any version, XP/Vista/7), your first (and cheapest) option of the 2GB kit is probably the best. This would bring your total system memory to 3GB (if you plan on keeping the 1GB that's in there already). If you decide to go with the faster RAM, remove the current 1GB in your system and only use the 4GB set. But as noted, you'll only be able to use 3.2~3.5 GB of it.
  12. Exactly. And WB & Maguire Entertainment can just sit on the license if they don't want to proceed. Eventually, the license will expire and revert back to HG, at which time, HG can go shopping again. Why go through the courts when you can just sit on a project. If they don't want to spend the time and money to produce, they can sit on it. Happens all the time.
  13. Actually, there is a limitation. 2^64 = 16.8 million terabytes. It will be quite a while before we hit that ceiling. Our largest RAM configurations only scratch that number.
  14. G-skill is pretty good. Before I say anything, do you plan on using 32-bit Windows or 64-bit Windows?
  15. The pilot is out on DVD already. You can take a look at it.
  16. Actually, with Vista, they started bundling tablet functionality instead of making a separate OS just for tablets. Win7 is just continuing the trend. That's usually one of the first services I turn off since I don't use tablets.
  17. Palm already came out with the Touchstone.
  18. M7 (as of 2047) was wandering for almost 10 years. Frontier wandered around for almost 18 years.
  19. We're not Facebook or LiveJournal.
  20. In the words of an Alaskan governor, "You betcha." But be aware that there may not be any Win7 drivers for the newer hardware out there. The beta that you can download is a full version of Win7 Ultimate edition.
  21. I normally just use the Windows defragging program. I use to use a 3rd-party program, but I found it to be extraneous and got rid of it to make my life easier. Same with CCleaner. I install it, run it, then remove it after it's done. Since Win7 is still beta and many companies haven't put out versions of programs that work with Win7, I'd avoid those programs. Most of them actually do a good job but since you're using Win7, and it's still beta, I won't recommend using those programs until they release Win7-compatible versions.
  22. Exactly. It won't have been hard to make it into a PG-13 "summer" movie. The whole project may have just collapsed on itself so the director decided to just get out. If the project wasn't going anywhere and chances of it being revived were zero at this point, I would jump off the sinking ship. Maybe he just doesn't have the time for it.
  23. Akira could have been dumb-downed to a PG-13. For all we know, the price tag could have been more than what the studio was willing to pay. Or Ruairi Robinson may have decided he wasn't ready for a Hollywood-size director's chair. Three short films (and I mean less than 10 min-short) may have made him rethink whether or not he wanted to proceed with this project.
