Yes, that external case will work just fine. Yes, it would be a good upgrade, but, considering your current circumstances (you sound like you are in a rush), it would be best to forgo the dvd burner and get back to it at a later time. Or get an external burner, or you can make a trip to Fry's and see if they have anything. Most retailers do no sell notebook replacement drives. They mostly sell internal desktop burners or external burners. If weight is a concern, then I would skip HP. Sonys are like the Mac laptops. Lots of power and the price to match it. They are lighter than HP, and if you have to carry it back and forth, Sony would be a good choice. If you want to do CAD and image editing, the XPS M1210 would be a better choice since you can change the video card. The Intel 950 is fine for images, but CAD would need something a bit better. The Sony does have a bigger display which would be better for work. I would go with the Sony if I could cut back on the CAD work. If you can't cut that, then the Dell would be the way to go. I would have an issue with the Dell since it does have a small screen. That might not be the best for image editing.

She should be.

Except we don't get to watch all the people who want get their 15-minutes-of-fame. The casting call for the lead actress doesn't have to be an unknown. The requirements list that having a contract with another recording company is ok.

Probably by summer. The deadline for applications for the lead female seiyuu/singer is next Saturday (March 31st). After which, auditions for the ones who make it past the initial screening, call backs and interviews, and then hopefully, a candidate. Hopefully, by the end of April/early May, we should have a cast debut. The casting call was an open call, so we won't know how many applied until next week.

That's if they factored the movie in with the TV-show budget, then of course they couldn't do it. They could always place the movie under it's own budget (I doubt it).

Yep.

Sorta related...More from the Tokyo International Anime Fair 2007: http://www.akibaos.com/img.php?img=20070322e07 (Yes, that signature is dated March 21st, 2007) Should any of you attempt to go to the convention center and attempt to remove that slab of drywall and door, I imagine you'll be asked some questions at Customs....

I could....., but then Graham would just reopen it, reply to someone with a new sig causing everybody to rush back in here and start trying to interpret his sig, wash, rinse, repeat.

They could always remake the sets.

Could be his arms under that blanket. The Wendy Ryder shot is as close to Britney getting into a car.

Yes, I believe that's been posted before.

Why anybody would want to put on a body tatoo....that escapes me. The painting looks good anyways. And yes, we don't have a nudity policy, but then again, we don't want the kiddies to come here thinking this is a free porn site, nor do we want your workplace or people at your workplace wondering about why you are looking at a nude painted chick (hence NSFW and should be text linked).

Definitely good for classrooms/lecture halls/conference rooms (any place with a blackboard/whiteboard).

As long as HG is here, expect someone to whine about the Macross license.

Yes. Comes with age.

Both. And BTW: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=16660

So Zeta #3 doesn't count? Ok..... RX-78-2 ver. 2 where art thou?

Care to explain the "pocket" line?

Whoops, forgot about that one. SDF Macross for PS2* Macross M3 Macross VF-X Macross VF-X 2

The canon games are: SDF Macross for PS2* Macross VF-X Macross VF-X 2 *If you play the game as oppose to watching the series. The game follows a different squads at different points so episode count is shorter, however, the timeline does correspond to the TV timeline. So using the PS2 game as a substitute and/or replacement for the TV series is acceptable.

This popped up as a possible: http://www.darkhorizons.com/news07/070314o.php

Cutting the memory on the video card would affect how much you can load on the video card. The GPU is still the same. If your renderings are large and completely detailed running all the time (like a full and detailed background, with each object in that scene individually rendered with a ridiculous amount of detail, i.e the works, 24/7), then a video card with larger memory would be better. But if you are not going for that level of detail all the time, then the card with less memory would be better. But the BFG card is overclocked so it could handle some of the aspects of the higher memory capacity card without the price tag. BFG cards also carry a lifetime warranty on their cards. http://www.bfgtech.com/tech_redux.html

The Protodevlin created the Supervision Army. It was never stated that the SA were the ones controlling the Zentradi for Protoculture. I'm not sure how that info came about.

Agreed. You might want to do more for graphics. It might be cheaper to get a single 500GB drive.

Actually, they resemble VF-11s.
