  1. You mean... Pertwee wasn't a natural blonde?! :&
  2. Well, there was already Father's Day. So, an episode called Mother's Day could feature Jason.
  3. A chainsaw wielding maniac and Daleks... that can only be Absolom Daak!
  4. From Afterdawn: Doctor Who rental contains nasty surprise 28 January 2007 19:52 by Dela Consumers who rented a DVD of BBC's Doctor Who series got some unexpected extras. Reportedly, they not only had the episodes of the TV show, but also scenes from the The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. UK tabloid The Sun reported that "a manufacturing blunder led to footage of a maniac hacking off limbs appearing midway through an episode seen by hundreds of families" The episode in question was "New Earth", the first episode of the second season, dispatched by online movie rental giant Netflix. A BBC insider said the mistake may have occurred because "both DVDs were made at the same time for release on the same day". The BBC has released a statement to address the issue. "Due to a manufacturing problem, Disc One of the Netflix copies of 'Doctor Who: The Complete Second Series' DVD collection contains incorrect footage from another film. The special features section on Disc One is also inaccessible on rented Netflix copies." "This error is only found on Disc One of Netflix copies of the series, not on any Doctor Who DVDs available for purchase in stores. We are doing our best to rectify this problem as soon as possible and apologize for any inconvenience or distress."
  5. I'm not even certain I understand that...
  6. When does Season 3 start, BTW?
  7. When was it (Tooth And Claw?) when the Doctor said his name was James McCrimmon?
  8. LUK, since we at one time had the same motherboard, and may still do, I've got a question about this line in logs that may appear: W 00:09:57 DeviceIoControl(FSCTL_LOCK_VOLUME) Not Supported! - Update your motherboard / IDE drivers!!! How would one check for an update to their IDE drivers? I doubt I can help this problem with an update of the drivers, should I not have update to date ones. But, it's a far easier solution to try it than to update the mobo. Thanks!

    What is this

    Hey, I just read from a recent program's update list that the Program Files folder in Vista is Write Only... WRITE ONLY?! HOW the HELL does that work?! How many programs can you think of store their configuration and data files in subfolders of the installation folder? I HOPE this can be disabled somehow, with some kind of security configuration. Otherwise, I can only see solving that by installing everything again is a folder you designate other than Program Files.
  11. Actually, the idea of a USB enabled turntable to finally easily convert those old records to CD makes a lot of sense. I can't believe I never thought of it before. Makes you wonder, then, surely, there must be such a thing for cassettes. Just a simple cassette player with USB interface to a PC.
  12. Well, I'd burn a movie with some gelignite and a really cool FLAMETHROWER! AH HA HA HA HA!

    Well, if there's a TARDIS USB hub, then, the TARDIS must run on NT?
  14. This bank must be in Nigeria. I like where it says: BOTH of YOU?! You not only have a foreign relative, but, you're schizophrenic!
  15. What I find odd is they also sell used Cybermen helmets? And used kids' brains to go with them. It's up to 27 now.
  16. Yes, child labor is so much easier ever since it became as simple as ordering a device from Amazon and slap it on a kid's head: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Doctor-Who-Cyberma...5960952-3195030 Easy slave for 25 Pounds. "WHAT- SHALL- WE- MAKE- TO-DAY?"
  17. What cool idea! A TARDIS USB hub with lights and sounds. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Doctor-Tardis-Port...n/dp/B000F46CQM Previews is offering it as an import item in this month's comics catalog for us here in the States. Too bad they could have done something like make individual windows light up when a device is connected and flash whenever data is being transferred. Imagine one made from a Dalek base, where each bump is a port.

    Less than 12 hours after going on consumer sale, the first KB update to Vista appeared...

    They taste great when fried with a few veggies in a light cat gravy.... Why, I just love baby showers. They make such a lovely splat noise when they hit the ground!

    Or in my hands. I'm not picky.

    Watercooling

    Wait, wait, wait. I thought his was powered BY a wombat running in a wheel generating electricity. And that the system was cooled by water wings, with tiny celery stalks growing out of the heat sink to redirect warm air away from the CPU.

    I'd rather have a pair of your Avatar's Milk Duds!

    Aw, I'm sorry, wittle doggie. But, chocolate is fatal to canines. Plus, the cake's already gone. It was actually called Death By Chocolate. I don't know if Hostess releases them in Europe and under what name, but, in the States, we have a chocolate treat known as a... yes, it's actually called this... Ding Dong. They are little chocolate cakes, covered with chocolate icing, and, in the middle, is a center of creamy filling. Yes, it all sounds very perverse and it is. Anyway, this Death By Chocolate was a cake example of a Ding Dong. A chocolate cake layer on the bottom, a layer of whipped, creamy topping on top of that, and topped by a 2nd small chocolate cake layer similar to the first. Chocolate icing is then applied to the top of the 2nd layer. Once I saw that creamy center layer, I knew I had to have it for my birthday cake. So, that's what my mother got me. And, it was absolutely delicious! Even she liked it.
