Taribia stood the benefit either way. But the point CB was making to the world was, they would not be anybody's puppet. Taribia's head hoped that CB would attack the Union because technically, should the Union fire on Taribia, The Union would be the aggressors. Taribia would then be under CB's protection. Thereby using CB. But CB didn't like that since it wants to view everybody as hostile, so they spanked Taribia. Nations hoping to use CB as an insurance against other nations now understand that CB doesn't roll that way.

Yes. If you are using programs that were released prior to XP w/SP2, they may not work after you apply SP2 to your system. I would be less concerned with security considering the fact that SP2 might break your system, thereby making security a moot point if you don't have a functioning system.

Considering that the staff listings for MF haven't been released yet, it's premature to say Miyatake isn't on board. For Gundam 00, we didn't get a more complete staff listing till about 2 month before it aired, and the cast listing didn't show up until the following month. So before we all decide to jump to conclusions, you might want to wait for more info to come out in the following months. One thing to keep in mind (and of course, has probably been lost since talk slowed down until this month) is this Macross is not really for the older generation. So should it feel like you are watching some CLAMP series, well, that's cuz this is the target audience is the same as many CLAMP series. a flight school motif hasn't been done in Macross, so again, we are exploring some new ground here.

http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20158840,00.html Even Kring admits it wasn't a good start to the season... The conspiracy-side of me says maybe it's not a coincidence that this week's episode, which felt much better, just happened to land at the same time as the writers' strike.

Now before anybody quotes anything else from 2ch...can we actually have someone TRANSLATE the god-damn magazine article first?

I glanced over the movie. It looks good. Now I need to find a 1.5 hour block of time to actually watch the movie...

Can we get rid of Sylar? He's boring...... The uniqueness of Sylar is gone. He's boring now. He's whiny now. "I want my powers back, wah!" It would have been nice to not have him come back at all this season.

That was never answered. Most likely, it was not since Macross never left the solar system again.

Let's see how long the writers' strike lasts. Then we shall see if any show comes back on next year since we still have the actors' and directors' strike coming up in June 2008.

Setsuna may suffer from PTSD, considering what he daydreams about....

We should adopt the motto of some Gundam forums: "It's all Macross. It's all good."

It contains mostly the openings and endings of all series (including the SD version of SDFM's opening), cinematic sequences of most of the games, toy commercials for the olde VF-1 toys, and various other video montages. Then it has a preview of M0. And yes, it's on YouTube.

Great...Allelujah is .

I expect lots of pre-emps during the November/December thru New Year's, so meh.

A wash is the preferred method for thin panel lines. You could also try using an ultra fine permanent marker or buying a Gundam marker to do the fine panel lining.

The best thing to do is mask the area around the line and paint the line (This is done when you detail the model). Remove the masking tape and your line should be fine.

Looks like Origins is getting shelved due to the writers strike or won't come until NBC starts running out of reality shows. Link: http://www.superherohype.com/news/topnews.php?id=6479

"The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules, and tonight, you're going to break your one rule." Why so Serious?

The whole Claire-arc isn't working for me. The whole is drudging along and I find it really boring. The Petrelli bros' and Parkman's arc are still good. Hiro's story is still good. Especially since we know what is suppose to happen (just the silly details are fun).

There are some, but not many. Alienware notebooks have lots of panels for easier access, but they have a price tag to match.

To build on that, I have worked on laptops and they are a nuisance. The screws are generally very small (akin to eyeglass screws) and are easy to misplace. With Dell laptops, some of them have to be accessed through the keyboard and that requires a delicate hand as it is easy to damage components through that route. I haven't cracked any plastic but I've come close. I prefer to have a hatch or door to components. If I have to open a laptop up to the point where I am removing the chassis, I would weigh in getting a new laptop. Now to the subject of the fan, something like that would require a decent amount of disassembly. If you feel up to it, go ahead and replace it yourself. Out of curiousity, what model of Toshiba is the laptop?

Considering that it's priced less than the 8800GTS, compromised specs between the GTS and GTX, the 8800GT is the perfect replacement for a 8800GTS. Heck, I would probably sell my 8800GTS for a 8800GT. It has a lower profile, smaller die-size and has a lower TDP. The 8800GT is now more worth it to the gamer with a budget.

.mkv is just a container format. The video is Xvid or DivX with additional audio streams (if included) and subtitle streams (if included). You can convert a .mkv file to dvd (or avi), but you will need to re-encode the appropriate streams.
