    Yeah, but a lot of places are fear-mongering on "5x normal" or "20x normal". Acting like 10x normal fallout with a 4-minute half-life could hit LA and mutate everyone...

    Like 9 of 10 "spikes" the past few days have been short-lived, sometimes only minutes.

    You'll get more radiation living next to a marble building.

    Sure it wasn't a Luftwaffe Tornado visiting or something? I am unaware of (and frankly disbelieving) any F-14 having flown in the US in years. It's about as likely as seeing an SR-71. Anyways: Top 10 F-35B problems and fixes: http://www.flightglo...s-and.html#more

    Is that recent? I can't remember which group or which disaster, but a couple of years ago I recall a big stink about when people donating for a disaster learned that the funds weren't "specific" and were going to be used in a "general fund".

    Yeah, my VF-27 spends most of its time in fighter mode. If the joints aren't used, they don't loosen.

    Playing DA 2. It's almost as if the side-quests ARE the main quests. (as in, the main quests are more of a "goal" with many side-quests that can be done in any order leading up to achieving that goal). Anyways---anyone figure out the "equipment icon color" thing? Most DLC has green icons and is of high quality, but I also have non-DLC green ones---and sometimes they're worse than my non-DLC equipment. Most stuff is white or red, but I have 2 weapons that have gold icons.

    Not me. I distinctly got just the Black Emporium from the first code, fiddled around for a few minutes trying to get the Prince, then stupidly realized there was a back side to the sheet, then entered in another code---and got the prince. And there was a 3rd code for Bioware's site on the bottom of the sheet, that gave me the signature stuff. The Fade Shear was acquired this morning from the Amazon code. I didn't have to enter a code for the staff, it showed up weeks ago on my Bioware account.

    I preordered mine from Amazon. And: 1. Got pre-order bonus code this morning. Typed it in, waited for game. Note, that's a pre-order bonus code, not the signature edition goodies. Works at bioware's website, not Live. 2. Game showed up around 3PM. Later I downloaded some DLC, typed in more codes on Live, downloaded more DLC. (mostly "bought game when new" goodies) 3. Went back online with PC, typed in more codes on other side of insert sheet. Went back online with 360, downloaded more goodies. (signature edition stuff) 4. Finished up DA: Awakenings this evening and replayed last half-hour for another achievement. NOW I'm ready to start DA2 but it's too late to really do much. Yes, if you pre-ordered a signature edition, you'll be typing in and downloading a lot. Half the stuff is activated at Bioware.com, half actually on Xbox Live.

    Since it's on-topic: Any recent recommendations for a hosts file? Most of them are too aggressive IMHO and utterly block every ad-serving site there is, which will actually screw up navigating some websites--especially those that play an ad in front of a video. Is there a hosts file that is dedicated just to blocking malware/viruses, not malware+ads+tracking+everything else?
  12. David Hingtgen
    No virus program gets them all. You can pick from many that each cover a different 98% of the spectrum. IMHO. Lately I see more and more stuff coming from infected ads/jpgs, so even the most trustworthy site/forum can infect you now.

    Hey, *real* US F-15's have blunted mass balances compared to the Japanese ones... (at least on one fin)
  14. David Hingtgen
    DX toy=red. All other illustrations, models, etc=pink. Just IMHO.

    After researching/experimenting, I think every bluescreen my PC's ever had has been because of a bad driver update. Usually Nvidia's...

    While I don't own one (waiting for the US version) I have been reading all the fixes for it---and I think the idea of filing down the end of the spring may be quicker/better than messing with the post itself. It seems the end of the spring is sharp and catches the plastic easily (springs tend to have sharp edges, fact of life)--file it smooth and then it doesn't need to spin about the post, it'll just slip by.

    Huh. A "real" F-35A: http://www.airliners...d0991e4aa8e329e As in, front-line non-prototype. Assigned to the 58FS. The 58FS I believe has more kills than any other active USAF squadron mainly due to Desert Storm. They are the best/most-famous F-15C squadron not to get the F-22.

    I still wonder about the thoughts behind using bad CGI Apache helicopters flying over a generic desert for 10 secs, when there's tons of stock footage of the real thing available for cheap/free. Kind of like using bad CG for clouds or grass or anything else that can be filmed "in perfect real life" any day of the week...
  19. David Hingtgen
    Well, we're still building the F-15, and it first flew in 1972.

    I never saw the first movie until a few months ago---no cam rips for me!
  21. David Hingtgen
    Oh come on people---flightsuit Grace or not?

    If anyone posts spoilers without hiding them with full-on spoiler tags, expect insta-ban. {spoiler} {/spoiler} Just use the normal brackets, not squiggly brackets.

    I pre-ordered DA 2 because of the many bonuses for doing so. Just bought DA Awakenings half-off at Newegg (it came and went so fast in stores I never had a chance to pick it up). Plan to get demo tonight. :edit: Whoops, this is the PS thread. All my DA stuff is on my 360.

    I like the cover, but I don't see how this could NOT turn political. Sorry.

    I mixed in flattener with mine, as I was coating over the not-so-glossy painted sections.
