*You can't say that* in my country either.. it may be a different group than your referring to, but the effect of arbitrarily sectioning off on group with no particular distinctiveness from the rest of the community, and rendering them above criticism in order to assuage namby pamby 'hurt feelings' , especially by a tribunal that answers to no-one, but has the power to sever employment, social ties and the like,, only has the effect of rendering free spech a historical curiosity..
I am pretty sure THAT is what the fellow previous was referring to..
Rendering any segment of the population 'faultless' only by accident of color, culture, or birthplace is *just* as prejudiced as rendering that segment as *less* than...
I actualy thought this might have been a real article until it got to the "stable as debian, simple as..." etc etc bit.. after all i didn't get my 4/1/11 email until 2 day
if only ida been borned 4 dais earlier ida never have forgotten about april fools again...
I think after 40 years of the good doctor.. i have an insight.. i never thought i'd still be watching it when i'm old an grey though...
In answer to your question.. the turning point for the series when it 'grew up'.. as it were,.. is clearly with the wit and improvisation of Tom Baker.. (around 1973 to somewhere near 1980)
I would URGE anyone looking for a starting point to start with his episodes....And I sure wish I had some copies to watch too.. it's been 20 years since I last saw one of those episodes
I noticed too..and i hadn't heard of such a thing either.. anyways, does it mean if the moon is 3% closer that it's only going to be 3% brighter, or does it work on some other ratio?
In 1995 Microsoft had this thing called MSN. It was supposed to compete with proprietary Online Services like AOL and CompuServ. At the time the Internet wasn't very commercialized, and the big players in consumer-grade 'online' were still thinking it would remain proprietary.

I remember well setting up win 95 for the net was a frikkin nightmare.. if you wanted to go online you had to get a mac.. it had support from system 7 onwards.. but i seem to recall you had to actually *buy* the cdev for it !.. and i remember crashy spyglass too.. a windows app that i though would never catch on.. not with netscape.9 being so stable.. but at almost a MB in size!
