The Royal Mail has unveiled a special set of stamps for Doctor Who's 2013 anniversary.

First class stamps of all 11 Time Lords - from William Hartnell and Tom Baker to David Tennant and Matt Smith - will be available from March.

The new look Tardis is better than the old one, I think most people forget that no rooms in the Tardis are permanent, they can be created and deleted. I remember that one of the original reasons to update DT's Tardis was the quality of it when filmed in HD - I actually think this new set looks cheap in the background but still way better that the last, which was basically toy land.

I don't love the new opening, but I don't hate it either. It takes quite a while for the Tardis to enter the time vortex (which seems to be fixed now, no smoke everywhere, previously it looked like someone left a smoke machine floating in it.

I love Matt, I love Oswin, and I love them together.

Yeah, I'd love a set (or three) of those stamps. It's weird as well, since I used to collect stamps back in the 90's after my father handed his collection down to me (sorta). So, yeah I'd love a set. I do wonder if US citizens will be able to get them some how.

I don't see how they can go with another female companion who has the hots for the Doctor, especially with River still in the picture. Clara obviously had naughty thoughts about the Doctor's bum.

Seriously, this. What is going on here, he's married to River now. :huh:

Even if he wasn't I'm tired of the whole Doctor's companion is his girlfriend thing. That's why I loved Donna, she wasn't interested in him.

She has the potential to steal the show a bit, her character is very entertaining and actionable. I agree though am over the whole companion/gf thing I feel like since the end of time the show has veered too much to centring around the companions, needs to get back to its roots a bit perhaps. I guess it doesn't matter though, ill still keep watching it no doubt :p

Yes and we still don't know the following:

With the first Doctor he had a "Grand Daughter"

So the next Logical Choice -- That River + Doctor = Baby who then had had Susan twist.

Though who knows if they decide to go with Doctor's Daughter (the clone) had a baby which was Susan.

Though strange enough is How can someone live multiple times?

Or is this the resurgence of "Bad Wolf?" or "THE MASTER" Who created her ??

My favorite part was the Sontaran -- So who are you being now Sherlock Holmes.?

My favorite part was the Great Intelligence. If you've been watching Who since the start (or at least, all the back episodes) you know what I mean :)

Also, that Sontaran was just awesome. Brain damaged much? lol

That is okay my Potato headed friend... as the Doctor Kisses his head.... That was priceless.

    • How do you future-proof a home or small office network?

      By Circaflex · Posted

      Personally, I’ve found that it’s usually worth investing in the infrastructure you don’t want to replace later, especially cabling. Running Cat6A (or better, depending on your needs) during an upgrade is relatively inexpensive compared to having to re-cable a few years down the road. For switches I try to balance current specs with realistic growth. If my budget allows it Ill choose switches with higher uplink speeds which leaves room for expanding later on, but I don’t necessarily overspend on access ports if the endpoints won’t benefit from them anytime soon. One lesson I’ve learned is that planning for scalability pays off. It’s much easier to add devices, VLANs, or higher-bandwidth workloads when your network infrastructure already supports it than to replace hardware later.  What is your budget like?

      I hate the term, "future-proof." We saw it back in the 90's / 2000's, if not before. You cannot future-proof anything, since there is no definition of how far into the future you plan on prepping for. Best idea is to tell us what you currently have and what its use is at the moment, and we can then offer ideas about some areas that might need an upgrade and other areas that can be left alone.
    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
