640K was enough in 1981, so buying a PC with 640K (with the expectation that it would be fully depreciated in 5-7 years) was good then. Buying a 4-code phone with the expectation that it will be retired in 2-3 years (the usual) is reasonable. Today, how we use our phones, 8 cores are probably not needed.
So, depending on what's considered canon, this Doctor will be:
- The last (if the 4th Doctor's claim of 12 regenerations and the "evil" Doctor count), or, - The next to last (if the the 4th Doctor's claim of 12 regenerations, but not the "evil" Doctor, count), or, - The 496th from the last, if the 11th Doctor is correct.
If belief in the existence of a diety constitutes a "religion", then liking music means you're a musician.
We have an explicit prohibition against government establishing a state religion. Does any Arab nation? Dwelling inside the very secular European Union, we find Denmark with its state Lutheran religion. Yet the USA is pointed to as if it were some sort of theocracy. Zero-tolerance atheists like you have killed far more people in the last 100 years than any religious zealots.
Yes, we need to immediately stop using oil, even if it means shutting down our entire economy. There can be no intermediate steps, or compromises, on the way. And I hope I get modpoints from the basement-dwelling yet-to-have-a-job-or-any-responsibility political ideologues.
How about red herring? Because you put it in the form of a joke, but you mean to ridicule the Christian religion in an article on an Islamic issue. You're basically an opportunistic troll with a pet cause, and nothing of value to offer to an adult discussion.
Most programmers are familiar with BASIC; many of them either learned it in school or (the real greybeards) learned it in their first job. They criticize it for things such as lack of structure, forgetting that the other languages of its time didn't have it either. They keep it in its historical context of the 1970s and the microcomputer era when they first discovered it, unaware of the existence of procedural variants from IBM and DEC/Compaq/HP. I've written VMS Basic programs without a GOTO in them, save the error handler (which doesn't count because the error handlers in other languages are implied GOTOs).
OT, but the funny thing about odometers is that they are actually a crude indicator of expected lifespan. People are fond of saying, "they don't make them like they used to," but the fact is that at least IRT the drivetrain a modern car is way more durable. Odometers used to roll over at 100,000, and unless you bought a premium car you would be pretty likely to have needed major repairs to the engine, transmission, or rear axle by then.
We already have laws against fraudulent claims. The problem is in the judicial system, which rewards lawyers and enriches the careers of judges more than it doles out actual justice.
And the fact that the decision was based on NJ law, not the US Constitution, still doesn't fly because the supremacy clause clearly holds, looking at both the 14th and 4th amendments. Claiming they're "business records" is stupid. Yes, they're business records. This just means that the business doesn't get to claim privacy rights to them. However, it's my information, so I do!
So we demand that people have no liquid assets, then wonder why we have such a burden of people who can't even handle being out of work for a month or two.
Even average joes should have liquid assets, or ones that can be easily made liquid, to get through hard times. People like you who fell for the socialists' class warfare drivel think we're supposed to lean on the government while they shake down the rich like they're the nation's piggy bank.
That's why so many people here demand lower taxes without any thought about the impact of things like an underfunded education system.
Maybe if the progressives would stop hanging a sword over the children every time we talk about taxes, we could be more civil. The fact is, we have trouble paying for schools because the federal government imposes its stupid regulations and requirements on them. The only feasible way school districts can pay their budgets is through property tax-- a tax on a liability (your own home) for 99.9% of the people being taxed, that doesn't make you any money and is a poor indicator of one's ability to pay the tax. This system forces middle class people out of their homes so that the wealthy (and savvy) can snap them up for pennies on the dollar.
You know, race and religion didn't even come up. No one said the 1950s in general were a great time. BTW, no it wasn't legal to beat your wife and neither was religious discrimination allowed, despite what lies you were told in 8th grade this year.
Something similar, but not so alarming happened in the USA recently. A Cheerios commercial included a mixed-race couple, and a handful of jerks took it upon themselves to complain about it like it was 1955. Far worse, 100 times as many people decided this incident was ironclad evidence that no progress was ever made and the entire white nation is still racist to the hilt; they kept on about it rather than ignoring and thus marginalizing the racists.

ISO should release a UTF-8.1 standard. They'll all adopt it immediately.
"My browser uses UTF-8.1. You probably haven't heard of it."
"I used UTF-8.1 before it was cool."
If you were going into battle, which would you rather use? Two guys with machine guns or 1,024 with AR-15s?
On the bad side, there's a big red splotch on the lawn and the cat is missing.

You don't buy new blades for your electric razor? I buy new ones about every 18 months. Trust me, after 2 years you would notice the difference.

I, for one, am tired of seeing SDTV cable boxes hooked up to HDTVs and having the 4:3 picture stretched out to 16:9.
Horse wangs look really terrible when they're pixellated.
No, pretty much none of that happened.
Hint: Rumsfeld was "special envoy", aka a diplomat. It was a "job", something you may have heard of but never had.

I don't think this works for prostitution, either.

After all, unless something has changed drastically recently the Sovereign is female.
