i think it would be good see how the aliens were engineered in the first place and then it getting out of control i.e. crashing into LV426 during shipping to somewhere as the predators bio-engineered the aliens didnt they to make em the perfect thing to hunt.

ridley would be good but i think cameron might also be able do a good job, needs to have sigourney out of it man shell be running round a spaceship in a wheelchair soon!!

iirc and I probably don't they already existed as a species and the predators found them and started hunting them.

The predators are known for transporting queen eggs to different planets and then allowing them to hatch using the planets wildlife as the basis for that generation of alien since it takes on some of the appearance and abilities of the animal it spawns from.

I went to go see The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo last night and saw the trailer for this before the film played. Looks interesting enough and I've never seen Ridley Scott making a terrible movie so I'll end up going to see this. That and Noomi Rapace is stupid ****ing attractive.

Not in the Alien films!

Let's leave AvP to AvP and not mix it with the Alien stuff.

I'm not mixing AvP at all, I'm referring to materials from the comic book series. So far as the AvP films go they can burn in hell, terrible films :(

Although the ship in the original aliens film has been speculated by many fans to have been a predator ship, and the giant ship captain to be a female predator. But I've never subscribed to that

I saw the trailer today the leaked cam at least. And it looks fantastic the trailer is full of quick flashes of scenes with no real dialogue yet it is impressive and the scenes that were shown look immense. This won't be a story about people talking on a ship he is showing everything it looks to me like this is him saying this is what was in my head the technology has caught up and I can now show you what I thought.

I'm really excited.

I'm waiting on the 1080p version. According to the Prometheus Facebook page, there's only a couple of hours left until it's released. I'm really excited too. I haven't been this excited for a science fiction movie since J.J. Abram's Star Trek.

Looks "meh"

What made the original great it's the minimalist (to some extent) setting that created a very effective claustrophobic atmosphere. Why everything should be grandiloquent CG scenes today? The original stood the test of time better than any of it sequels.

Well I don't think Ridley is trying to make the same film. But I hear what your saying.

Hopefully the story holds up, but I really liked the look of the film from the trailer.

meh. I told you so. This gonna suck. And probably is PG-13, so... **** you Ridley Scott.

What makes you think it's going to suck? I think it looks great so far. The trailer had the same kind of atmosphere as Alien.

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.

      26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By WrongHead™ · Posted

      It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
