    Hey, they're better than Playmates did with the new Trek stuff---you really can't tell a 1989 Playmates figure from a 2009 Playmates figure...

    Like the 1/60 VF-1, it's best to kind of "twist" the missiles on and off. Snapping them straight down (or straight up, when removing) does apply the most stress.

    Macross Plus isn't discussed much because it's universally praised. People post about what they hate--see Macross 7. People like to argue---if everyone agrees, not much is said. Plus is great, and everyone agrees with that.

    That better have been a joke post.

    On jacks with the gear up, it looks like it's hovering.

    A bit late, but editing big spoiler.

    V4 KOS-MOS sucks. All others are better, the original is the best. I'm even more bitter because V4 is intentionally just copying V1 (it's a plot-point). Only it's like a cheap cosplay, rather than an upgrade.

    Foggy how? There's many ways to fix canopies.

    Episode was interesting, if a bit slow. (though that's been the main complaint since day 1). Episode could have been half as long.

    Re: MS security essentials. I don't know if it's good or bad, having your anti-virus by the same company who makes the programs (and holes) which most viruses tend to exploit.

    Sherly? Surely.

    Sure, Mylene's not THE main character, but neither are Sheryl and Ranka. I agree with Emilia, but Mylene is far too important to be touted as evidence for "descendants are background characters".

    Wrong spokesman. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaiah_Mustafa

    A complete inversion of the tentacle trope.

    That's the problem--no matter what, they'll hire a "WB girl" for that "skinny waif" look.

    Grace is older than the "main 3" characters...

    It's MvC 3: FTW. What more do you need?

    Hmmmn. I generally go for the 2D versions, but don't actively *hate* 3D. (I hate 3D when it's tacked on and focuses on pointless "throwing stuff at the audiecne) 3D *really* worth it for this?

    Of course---marketing. If the jet impulse is 0.4 ounces, they can say it adds force... And the drawings reinforce the masses' mental concept of a "jet car".

    I suspect some people (especially the media) are confusing jet engines and turbines. When they say "turbine", in this context---think "hydroelectric dam"---they are generating electricity, little more. And like most electric motors---incredible torque at low speeds. Their true limit is often RPM/gearing. All in all, this seems most similar to a turbine-electric locomotive: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_turbine-electric_locomotive (car will likely have same issues, too---both steam and electric turbine locos have the same issues as all other turbines---best at long, high-speed runs) I figure it'll be almost submarine-like in actual operation---the electric motors will run off the batteries, the batteries will be charged by the turbines.

    Currently I'm using Avast 5. Slightly slower but much more effective than Avast 4. I used AVG prior to that, Norton prior to that.
  24. David Hingtgen
    Norton is evil, period.

    Mylene's valk, with soundbooster.
