Superman: Man of Steel (2013)


Recommended Posts

I'm pretty happy this is a hairier Supes personally. Got to see the trailer again in 3D at the IMAX. When he goes vertical, holy ****. They work in some good 3D heat vision and I'll wet myself.

Laser eyes are so cheap and in reality, would be unstoppable. You can't miss what you just have to look at. In cartoons and such, they always have some sort of delay on eye lasers, as if there is a weight to move them around. But in reality, you would destroy anything, unless you were blind.

Made a 1080p wallpaper from the Advance Poster I found online. Original file was around 2.5 MBs, cropped it to 16:9 and moved the writing up top and removed the black background with the magic wand in Photoshop. Took about a minute or two. Resized it to 1920X1080. I made an untagged version as well...just a simple crop.

You are aware that living cells have been made to lase, right?

They're not lasers, its heat vision. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powers_and_abilities_of_Superman

"Warner Bros. Pictures' highly-anticipated Superman movie, Man of Steel, has been rated by the MPAA. The film has received a PG-13 rating "for intense sequences of sci-fi violence, action and destruction, and for some language."

The only thing I am not really liking here is the colour filter or what ever they use to desaturate the colours & give it that steel blue military sci-fi look. It's not a bad look, but it seems over used here, and with Superman I feel like there should be alot of colour.

First, let's address the Man of Steel portion of the article. Besides announcing Spoiler:[

Tor-An

]" as a potential Kryptonian sleeper agent on Earth, the LEGO exhibit at the London Toy Fair also features a set where there's a variation of General Zod wearing armor. Certainly makes sense as we saw Michael Shannon wearing a Krptonian suit similar to Superman's and a motion-capture suit, implying he'll be wearing something totally CGI at some point in the film as he's hinted at in the past.

Tor-An (Action Comics 875, 877)

Alias: David Carter

Allegiance: Kryptonian Military Guild

Assignment: sleeper agent

Along with Zod, he was one of the Kryptonians imprisoned in the Phantom Zone. When Zod and his followers were freed, his second in command was charged with assigning five Krypontians as sleeper agents on Earth. Tor-An assumed the identity of a human entrepreneur named David Carter, the CEO of the Empire Communications Network based out of Sydney Australia.

Prepare yourselves for a female Jimmy Olsen.

IMDB is listing Rebecca Buller as "Jenny Olsen," a female version of the character first seen in Action Comics #349. One of Mr. Mxyzptlk's games, so there is precedence.

There are also some MoS toys coming, including a vehicle that could be a version of the Supermobile - a vehicle that shielded Sups from a red sun & kryptonite while externalizing most of his powers. In the recent Superman cartoon series this was compacted down to a kind of spacesuit, though he did retain a small spaceship.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
    • AT&T has been spying on US citizens with the NSA for decades.. they just know how to keep it more under wraps.. the evil level is still there.
