    Whoosh.

    Maybe this will help. While we're at it, do the Swiss have a Navy?

    We have our own army and navy, so language, not dialect.

    They're usually somewhere between a South African and a New Zealander, so going by the map...

    Telstra is early '90s. Telecom was the '70s. Before that it was part of PMG. Maybe Australia Post kept the early history.

    The counter is to build the translation tools for the other phones. Have Google and Microsoft make easy iPhone App porting tools. Embrace and extend.

    He said two languages. C, C++ and Obj-C is three. If you're going to be overly literal...

    It's usually not law that's directly the problem. It's more likely to be a problem with insurance and the need for a vehicle to be insured to be legal. I've seen cases where a car has hit something, but nobody was driving so they refused to pay.

    Remember: These are the best legislators we could get. Just imagine the ones that didn't make the cut.

    Yeah, they end up working as District Attorneys.

    Add in the cost of each game for each device and things start to get expensive. If the electronic version costs much less per copy, it's not a problem. It'll be just like the ebook market.

    Homosexual agenda? That wasn't Doctor Who. Torchwood maybe, but I always thought the point of Captain Jack wasn't that he'd sleep with anyone, but anything.

    OK then, it's a child-friendly show. Sarah Jane is the childrens' show and Torchwood is the supposedly adult show.

    The Empty Child was also his. IIRC, so was the library two parter and there's suggestion River Song will be back this season.

    Get some of the 2005 stuff to set the scene and go from the there. Watch for the season spanning sub-plots like Bad Wolf. Watch for detail because there's some deep and subtle clues being thrown around. Also check the web-sites accessed in the show. Some of them are real. This one from the 2005 season was updated in line with the episodes.

    If you're not going to watch everything, try some of Stephen Moffet's work since he's running the show now. The Empty Child, Blink and the library one were all pretty out there and really good. Get some friends to watch 'The Empty Child' then phone them. Mummy...
