    If anyone bought the GFF G-Gundam set and doesn't want the Nobel Gundam, I'm interested in it. (just tossing this out there on the off chance)

    Qantas A380 had more damage than thought. May need a new wing. Which is basically unprecedented AFAIK. But this is Qantas--they like their "no airframe loss" record, and they will (and they HAVE) spend more than the plane is worth to repair it.

    ::edit:: Thanks much, think I have it narrowed down to 2 Toshibas at this point.

    I remember that I was impressed that the animators correctly colored it when it transformed, so that the areas that wouldn't have gotten sprayed, remained white.

    Another "what to buy" question: Need to pick a laptop for someone for Christmas (or at least, help them pick it out), this will basically be their "introduction to computers"---they know how to surf the web, but that is IT. Surfing the web will really be all it's ever used for, and maybe some spreadsheets. It will never have a game installed on it. MS Office would probably be the most advanced thing it'll run. Playing 1080p smoothly would be nice, when it comes to gfx performance. Budget---500ish? Main issues are probably battery life and screen quality. And weight. And if it is quote "pretty" that'd be a plus. PS---any suggestion MUST be available to physically check out, so that means BestBuy, WalMart, etc.

    No, not at all. People are discussing her for no apparent reason.

    I figured it was changed to help differentiate her phone from a young Ai-kun.

    Well, she can style her hair just by thinking about it...

    Rare shot---an actual round in mid-air from an A-10: http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Air/Fairchild-A-10A-Thunderbolt/1810250/L/

    The *only* version of the Macross I want is the original TV version. I don't require 100% accuracy, but the arms alone isn't nearly enough. (honestly, I'd like a slightly more subdued/detailed version of the TV one--kind of DYRL-esque, but keeping the basic shape and colors of the origina) Seconded, my feelings exactly. New arms won't change the overall transformation-look.

    That tells me the "Windows Experience" is BS----doubling the HDD access rate doesn't do anything?

    Possibly, as it's like a full minute, it's kind of hard to miss.

    Slats and leading edge flaps are not considered critical so they don't have a backup, only the trailing edge flaps do. Fokkers, CRJ's, early DC-9's don't even have any, so they're inherently not critical--much like thrust reversers, they're basically "nice to have" things that can actually royally screw you if they malfunction.

    Honestly, I think it's the hosts, not the cars, that make the show great. Thus, American Top Gear=Fail.

    Lots of airliner news today: 1. Re: RR engines. It's the IP turbine. (Intermediate Pressure). That's unique to RR engines; PW, GE, SNECMA, Volvo, etc all have just low and high pressure ones. 2. In even bigger news, 787 #2 made an emergency landing in Texas a few hours ago. Fire in avionics compartment, smoke in pax cabin and cockpit. Lost primary instruments for both Capt and F/O, auto-throttles gone, was using emergency RAT for power. Deployed all slides for emergency evac on touchdown.

    Plus and Frontier. Honestly might think Frontier is my fave. Will have to wait for the 2nd movie to be sure.

    While the super/armor parts are removable/swappable from the models---it's a lot of parts swapping and disassembly, and puts them under quite a bit of stress to remove the parts. It's not really recommended to change it once you've decided "what they'll wear".

    The multiple other users with Grace in their avatar discounts that.

    I'm still annoyed that we have TWO flightsuit Klans, and no flightsuit Grace. Or any Grace at all.
  21. David Hingtgen
    It sucks, basically. Get a VF-27 if you want something from Frontier.
  22. David Hingtgen
    I have to second that M7 is one season padded out to two. It's 50% filler. You could cut entire eps and NOTHING would be lost.
  23. David Hingtgen
    Yes. No.
  24. David Hingtgen
    Fixed.

    I think the head is Depth Charge if anybody--but the colors wouldn't be much better. Having owned TM Depthcharge: Metallic sky blue overall with metallic aqua and purple paint accents. Deep magenta metallic bits. Chrome gold bits. Actually very Seacon-esque.
