  1. 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.
  2. Well, I'd burn a movie with some gelignite and a really cool FLAMETHROWER! AH HA HA HA HA!

    What is this

    Well, if there's a TARDIS USB hub, then, the TARDIS must run on NT?
  4. 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!
  5. 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.
  6. 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?"
  7. 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!

    Take the key and lock her up with me...

    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.

    Someone my mother worked with for almost 25 years. That's what she did. Decorated sheet cakes, both traditionally and with character images drawn on them. The images are taken from The Doctor Who Technical Manual.

    Found the Dalek and Davros cakes:
  17. Oh, I wouldn't be too worried, Shamus. They're not watching you... I am watching you...

    Oooh, sparkly! My thanks to everyone! I appreciate it! I actually had a Dalek cake for like my 5th grade birthday cake! I've got the photo somewhere. I'll try to post them. I also had Davros, a Cyberman, and K-9. All based on the entries in the Doctor Who Technical Manual. If I have them, I'll post them, too!
  19. Check your last reply and hopefully, once the sweet smelling smoke clears it will all become clear.
  20. Supposedly, a theatrical version release of Jeff Wayne's musical is on the way.
  21. I thought it might have something to do with the Python language, as well. Strangely, I believe I tested Python by itself and it worked... oh, well. We can always add Python and Python control codes, too, I suppose.
  22. Are you an expert on salmon parasites?
  23. Hey, er, sorry I easily fly off the handle like this. But, I think you can understand my frustration. A string phrase like Python_ being flagged as a false positive security issue. I'm just trying to use a simple word from English that is not ending a sentence in my case and it causes me all this trouble. Little things like this that keep building unrelentingly for 23 years have just taken their toll on me.
  24. Monty Python_ (The underscore is necessary because of an apparent and rather stupid false positive flag by something somewhere stating that the phrase Python_ with the underscore replaced by a space is an illegal key word. That it somehow, in someone's deranged imagination, represents a security issue. SHEESH!) sketch. Where Britain has to deal with a sudden outbreak of cannibalism during an expedition to Lake Pahoe.
  25. Never mind... The problem is with the word Python if some things follow it, apparently. Like a space. So, try Python_ but replace the underscore with a space. SHEESH!
