    That might be awhile.

    Good thing I grabbed a 1070 before things got all cryptocurrency-crazy. Dave, PM me. I got a 970 for you.

    Only for locations outside of the US. US is still locked into CBS All Access.

    It was never good to begin with.

    From the article, only if Affleck decides to leave. He's contractually up for at least 1 more movie.

    Checking Youtube....Youtube is fine.

    Wing was done in the 4:3-days, i.e., the days before widescreen became the norm. There should be large vertical bars. I’d check YouTube to see it’s any better. Concerning Heero, that’s what makes him loveable, if you love deadpan psychopaths with giant robots with really big guns. He still out does Setsuna “I-am-Gundam” F. Seiei from Gundam 00.

    As my doctors say, you’re getting old. Just wait till you go to the doctor for injuries that don’t heal as fast or that you use to laugh off. Or the best one, a wear-&-tear injury.

    Yep.

    Saji Crossroad's roll in S1 was forgettable and I never could sympathize with his character. As he gained a more substantial role in S2, my opinion of him was cemented in S1 so I could never connect with his roll in S2. Yes, he was Louise's counterpoint, but it never felt strong enough. When compared to Setsuna & Marina, Saji & Louise needed more work for me to sympathize with. A lot more.

    I know. But like I said, you should have watched when it originally aired. It took a special redo of the last episode, 4 compilation movies and finally the HD remaster to fix just the horribly animated and pacing issues. And it didn't even fix the story. The HD remaster makes this show remotely palatable (and it is still bad) compared to the original airing. If you watch the original airing, it would have made Macross Delta's original airing look great. And imagine sitting through it for entire year. One episode/week instead of binge watching.

    You should have seen this when it originally aired. Your complaints would have taken on a whole new level. And now that you're there... That girl has dem crazy-eyes. Her Lacus-obsession took fandom to a whole new meaning. And when you look at it that way, it takes that little incident in Athrun's bed to fatal attraction-levels.

    *clap clap* He's the result of mankind's dream and future. *evil laugh* And he must vanish! Muhahahahahah! (you'll get to there later)

    Meltdown is Intel-specific, but affects some ARM CPUs. Spectre affects all manufacturers. Both vulnerabilities affect the same speculative execution process but Spectre requires more user involvement. Meltdown requires less user interaction and essentially, brute-forces its way. Spectre and Meltdown can be mitigated with a software patch to the OS but Meltdown requires a fix to the microcode on top of the OS patch. Both still requires a user to actually run the malicious code.

    By the time I actually put money down, I'm sure Ryzen updates will be out. AMD hasn't clearly stated which generation is truly affected. Ryzen CPUs are vulnerable to the Spectre variants but can be patched at the OS level and are unaffected by Meltdown. AMD didn't clearly state if FX and their older CPUs are affected by both Spectre and Meltdown whereas all Intel CPUs since, at least, Ivy Bridge are affected by both exploits.

    Try recreating the boot media to do the clean install. The media may be non-bootable so when the system sees it, it won't boot. ------------------------ Rant: This crap with Intel...Maybe it is time I jumped back on the AMD-wagon after a 15-year hiatus.

    Wait till Akatsuki goes to space, then I got an image for you.

    I like a clean setup without too many wires going to parts unknown or things sticking out from the monitor hub or front panel which can get snagged, hence using the back panel USB for my fixed devices and stuff I want to hide (like a wireless headset receiver). x1 keyboard (if I want to enable fancy stuff on my keyboard, then it's 2), x1 mouse, x1 monitor USB hub, x1 external HD, x1 phone sync cable

    Don't worry, Stella will turn into Four Murasame soon. You're almost there. Can't say Durandal doesn't know how to use a pair of T&A to his advantage though.

    That's Apple life. It's a one-street for transferring media with their phones and tablets. My rant now... In spec'ing out my upgrade I just have to ask: How do people live with only 4 or 5 USB ports on the back panel??? And jeez do I have to pay out of my ass just for a motherboard that has more ports.

    They have Hux for a leader, who got trolled by a pilot.

    My understanding of the Galaxy Gun is that the weapon could remain stationary at a fortified position and “snipe” a target from long range without needing to move the fleet. The projectile’s hyperdrive was only there to get it to the target, then it did something else to destroy the target. No lightspeed was used as a weapon. It brings up the question, if the Resistance’s ships had enough for 1 more jump, why not kamikaze the ships at the First Order as they lost fuel. If the First Order is picking them off as they run out of fuel, save some fuel and return the favor. Keep hitting them with kamikaze ships and injury them as they get picked off.
