  1. One means suggested and one means to be taken for granted without proof. One is done by the reader/listener, the other done by the author/speaker. You can argue whether or not an author or speaker is trying to imply or not, but if you're going to argue that the two things are the same, well, it just shows a lack of distinction on your part.
  2. hmmm, good news for me as well then, since I bought my PS3 around the same time. On the other hand, it took nearly 7 months for me to get my free HD-DVDs...
  3. you got a PM, I didn't realize you had responded back to me on that conversation and I think you're confusing an implication, something the writer suggests and assumption, something the reader brings.
  4. I'll have to go to the con this year if this bad boy is going to make its debut.
  5. the stock com units suck ass. The design has the wire wrapping around the screw peg and i think it stretches/snaps the wiring there. Most of my friends who have a 360 all have/had problems with theirs.
  6. yeah, the chest pieces just rotate freely. I took the thing apart and it's no wonder the ratchet failed. The teeth are really deep and there's basically a little plastic tab on the outer ring that pegs into the chest piece. So basically, everytime you rotate the chest, you risk a chance of snaping the retaining peg off. Yup.. no way am I paying 150 bucks for the beta, fraking POS.
  7. POS... so all this talk made me think of my MPC alpha, took it out of storage after at least a year, and hey, the chest ratchets broke. sitting in a box, in a closet, the plastic went all yamato on me.
  8. cancelled, it's too bad there was no option for "reason".
  9. that thing is hideous... looks like the aborted love child of starscream and an alpha. That second one posted is a little better... in a, i'm in highschool and that would k3wl kind of way... which is to say, it still sucks.
  10. ah, this does indeed suck.
  11. See, you backtracked. technically yes, and strongly implied are not the same thing, which was what I joking on you about. And your example doesn't work. Saying one is a cake eater does not imply or denote exclusivity, therefore, anyone who eats cake or has eaten cake can be fairly described as a "cake eater" where-as, a murderer denotes someone who has murdered and not someone who CAN murder, which denotes ability. It's like the square rectangle arguement. All squares are rectangles but not every rectangle is a square.
  12. Thanks for the translation work!
  13. yeah, I'm loving that Beagle design.
  14. just superb, absolutely drool worthy.
  15. only if you subscribe to Gingaio's theory that implied is the same thing as stated.
  16. your momma is a tanning bed.
  17. oh, for frak's sake... what does someone need to do to get a mod to shut this pointless arguement up? Don't make me start telling "your momma" jokes, because if that's what it takes, by gum, I'll do just that.
  18. it's about time, those Blu-ray kiosks have been advertising batman begins for like a half a year now... cripes, I hope that isn't how long I have to wait for finding nemo.
  19. It's too bad that the very good FM series doesn't really get much notice/push, in the US... but the incredibly sucktastic armored core keeps getting published.
  20. I'd buy a low viz yf-21 in a heartbeat. That airframe was made for a low viz scheme, imo.
  21. ah well, thanks for the update. I figure the prices will eventually come down on these like they have with the alphas. *crosses fingers* And if not, more money for valks.
  22. considering how fast the dollar is falling against the yen, getting in on a pre-order is a really good idea
  23. heh, great fun, and I gotta agree, GREAT song choice!
  24. I wouldn't mind if they went back into the battles and made choreographed some new fights and maybe made put in some new music for variety.
