Okay...
I know why I don't remeber seeing Sounddwave now, because I missed that
episode. Good enough. But....
When exactly did the Decepticon starship crash on the moon????? I just
watched the Animated DVD realease that had Transform and Roll Out. We see
Starscream detecting the energy signature that leads him to Earth. Next we
see, he's fighting jets.
In between here, something happened.
Has this been mentioned anywhere on the show, and I just missed it or
forgot?
Just wondered.
Thanks!

I think it is implied that Starscream's ship somehow made it through
the gate the Autobots went through to reach Earth, but it took heavy
damage in the process, leaving it barely functional. The ship ended
up in the general vicinity at best in relation to where the Autobots
emerged (i.e., our solar system).
After 50 stellar cycles (years), Starscream was then able to finally
pinpoint the Allspark/Autobots/etc. on Earth. Considering how large
our solar system is (and the fact that all of the planets are
constantly in motion), that does not seem like an unreasonable amount
of time.
It is my guess that Starscream then crashlanded the disabled
spacecraft on the Moon and proceeded to Earth from there. At least,
that is my understanding.

Oh, for Chrissake.
It's got a parenthesis at the end. Copy and paste. Use common sense,
people.

That's because the correct way to present URLs on Usenet is by putting
them inside angled brackets. Most newsreaders will then be able to
identify the link and make it clickable. Thus:

Yeah, I know, but you've been slightly(?) more serious lately so it's
hard to tell.

Except that didn't work, either.
It's not because it's a URL, it's because it ends in a closed
parenthesis which, for some Godawful reason, a lot of stuff doesn't
parse correctly to turn it into the entire link. MSN Messenger has
this same problem.
I have an ex-girlfriend who's a little ditzy about stuff like that,
and she always forgets. <.<

Yeah, Retardo has been going in and out of character lately which
makes it difficult to know when he is being serious and when he is
being saracastic.

So, is this the Earth-1 or Earth-2 Retardo responding to this post?
Or could it be the "furry" Retardo from Earth-C?

That sounds like the usual "Microsoft isn't following specs or established
conventions properly" issue. Angle brackets aren't required to distinguish
URLs/URIs, but they're recommended in a number of standards documents and
have been around almost since the WWW itself.
Parentheses, on the other hand, should most definitely be treated as a
standard character in hyperlinks - the only ASCII characters which are
encoded are <>"#%{}|\^~[]` and the only ones with special meanings are
;/?:@=&
RFC 1738 specifically mentions parentheses as being able to be used
"straight" in URLs. If a program isn't doing that, it's broken and needs
to be repaired or replaced.
With respect to MSN Messenger, do you have the "Automatically convert
emoticons" option switched on in the Spelling Checker? Switch it off so
that Messenger isn't trying to put little graphics everywhere when it sees
something like e)>.

never said what heppened. I'd be kinda interested to know specifics. It
doesn't really matter, but I'd just like to see or hear the show go into a
little detail on it.

See, that's the thing, I agree and all, but I use Firefox--and it's
doing it too. I'm blaming Google groups.

I'm well aware of MSN's emoticons, but I leave them on because I use
them. I even have custom ones, somewhere! Not stupid ones, kickass
ones I made. Also I refuse to use the recent Windows Live Messenger
because it suuuuuuucks.
