Untitled[edit]

I'm just starting this for now, and I hope it doesn't get deleted before more content is added. It should in time be listed under Max Rep with redirects from Max Rep in the Age of Astrotitans, Max Rep: Mr. Astrotitan 2206, and Quadra Blu, and I think I'll slip in a mention of Max Rep and Lyman Dally into the Muscular Development article. Max Rep's stats are important, as are Blu's (as listed on her poster).

I admit, most of this is from memory and this forum discussion: [1], and so anyone with more memory (and back issues) can and should fill in more. What are "Mutagenic Steroids"? Who were the bad buys and who was Max's arch-rival Razer-Cutt? I never did see Max Rep in FLEX, only MD. I gotta visit a library and go through back issues to really fill in this article. Andrew Y. Mousley (talk) 22:17, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And now the redirects are done, but there's still a lot of work to do and I don't have the resources (ie, MD back issues) right now. I think I'll popularize the content with some link dropping and hopefully the article will take off from there. Andrew Y. Mousley (talk) 22:17, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My most recent update is a bit late as it is coming long after Quadra Blu's webcomic premiered. I shoulda known this was coming months ago, but at least I know about it now and have updated the article accordingly. This was also an opportunity to add references, more categories, and overall clean up the look of the article. The external links seemed to justify a split, one of the galleries was a dead link and I figured a more reliable replacement was due. There are no more links to individual deviantART pages and I figure anyone curious can just surf there themselves using Dally's page as a starting point, and besides, Google image search brings up lots of great stuff. Since Quadra Blu has so much more info about her, I've expanded her section. Looks a bit odd to have so much about her and so little about Max, but I couldn't resist. Some great info is out there, but somewhat awkward for references. The Picturing the Modern Amazons ref. has no page number because I honestly couldn't figure out which page the quote was on - Google books only gave me snippet view and that wasn't sufficient to tell. I would have loved to have cited a ref for the description of how Dally cancelled the strip and was planning a story arc, but I honestly don't know where it's from. In this forum [2] you'll see several black and white pages photographed (not scanned) from a... source. I suspect it's from issue two of the comic, but can't be certain, so rather than cite a possibly incorrect source, I left the info without.

A few other things: I finally got a peak at a Max Rep comic from FLEX! You can see the image linked in this forum (scroll down a ways):[3]. The poster I mentioned above and below has travelled all over the web, appearing in a few different places, and though I finally found the Amaz0ns forum page with it (lotta good stuff on those forums), I no longer need it. The blogger known as Area Orion has been crucial to Dally's creation of Quadra's new webcomic (from the sound of things, AO convinced Dally to do it, or at least let him know about the viability of a return), been promoting it everywhere, and responsible for lots of new images from the MD comic. There has yet to be any kind of Max Rep archive (a tall order to be sure), but between that blogger, other fans, and Dally himself, I suspect it may be possible. I think I may in time fire off some e-mails and see if I get a response about what could be done. I also found out which covers Max appeared on ("Covers" plural - There are two), was able to get images, and will try to upload both, though I suspect I will only be able to use them in the MD article, and not here according to fair use rules.

I have just now uploaded the two MD covers, but fair use rules appear to limit their appearance to the Muscular Development article (hence the non-standard links below), where I tried to keep them small, not wanting to hog too much space with more giant thumbnails. I didn't replace the original cover as it would be odd to have the only covers shown be so old and featuring comic strip characters (notwithstanding Sandy Riddell's flesh & blood reality).

Added Image Links[edit]

I've now added some image and image gallery external links and hopefully those can sort of double as references too. Unfortunately the above forum posting is gone and doesn't appear to have been mirrored by the internet archive. Shame too, because there was a Quadra Blu poster linked from that site. I'm also not certain where to find the Muscular Development Max & Quadra cover of the same issue that contained the poster, nor am I certain of that issue's date. Surely it must be available for viewing somewhere and given the existence of the MD cover in that article, the cover may be acceptable as an image here as well.Andrew Y.

Found what I think is the above forum link, but now at a different URL, though without the poster that I recall was there before:[6] Andrew Y. Mousley (talk) 04:12, 17 June 2010 (UTC) .在2015年WWDC大会上,苹果发布了用于MacBook的OS X El Capitan、用于iPhone及iPad的iOS 9、用于Apple Watch的WatchOS 2等操作系统,此次大会有来自70个国家的人参加,其中80%都是首次参加。大会亮点:1.OS X El Capitan:多窗口、多屏幕管理功能;2.iPad 2和iPhone 4s都可以升级iOS 9(你还以旧换新吗);3.WatchOS 2系统带给Apple watch两个功能:连接WiFi;安装原生App;4.Apple music:连接作曲家、演员和粉丝,Beats Connect可将未签约的歌手与粉丝们联系到一起;(中国大陆用户暂时无法使用)总体而言,此次苹果在WWDC上的动作并没有给人带来过多的惊喜,不过一些实用功能的引入还是十分值得关注的,iPad 2和iPhone 4s均支持iOS 9升级应该会让很多用户打消了更换新机的计划,而从另一个角度来看,此次WWDC上又有一大部分升级与中国用户无缘,例如Apple Pay、Apple Music等服务,目前与大陆用户基本无缘。全新的Siri UI,更加智能,用户说出“时间地点”,siri便可找到对应的照片。智能场景识别:Siri可智能识别用户所处在的场景,以便于针对不同的需要来为用户提供帮助。开放了全局搜索功能Spotlight的API接口,允许第三方应用整合这一功能,用户的搜索结果将会更加实用和准确。支付工具Apple Pay在支持了更多的线下商家,包括Levi's、乐高、Forever 21等连锁商店。此外,Apple Pay将支持英国伦敦的公交系统。(中国大陆用户暂时无法使用)在记事本应用中,用户可以进行绘图,并在文中加入位置标记等信息,或是加入目标达成的控件,进行勾选操作等。地图方面,新的“Trances”功能被加入,当用户点选任何一个站点、位置时,穿梭过它的大部分交通线路都被标清,让用户可以直观参照。新的地图应用还针对不同地铁站点加入了更详细的出口信息。改功能首批将支持美国部分城市及中国北京、西安、深圳、成都、广州等地区。地图功能还加入了国内第三方地图用户熟悉的“附近”功能,可以搜索周边的美食、购物场所等。Split View:可将用户选择的两个app自动填满整个屏幕。所以用户可以一边在Pages中处理文档,一边在Safari中查找资料,不会受到其他已打开app的干扰,也不必手动调整窗口大小和来回拖动窗口。任务完成的时候,只需轻扫一下,就能回到桌面。全新系统字体:全新设计的中文系统字体名为"苹方"。它具有现代感的外观和清晰易读的屏幕显示效果,并同时支持简体中文和繁体中文。Spotlight:能够理解日常语言,例如输入“Harrison 四月份发的邮件”,Spotlight就会显示与之匹配的电子邮件。用户还可以执行更复杂的搜索,例如输入“昨天我做的包含日程的文件”,就可以自己找到想要的那个。除此之外,在邮件app和Finder中你也可以同样使用自己的话来搜索。OS — Preceding unsigned comment added by 113.16.137.110 (talk) 03:49, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
