About the episode that aired on Saturday... The story was good and all and I liked the Tom Tom reference, however it just feels like all the episodes this series are building up really well in the story and then it seems that a couple of scenes are cut causing the episode to just fall off the cliff of excitement half way through...

Before the current series started, didn't it used to air each episode at around 1 hour length? Now it's 45 minutes?

50th Spoiler!

The following has been pulled directly from The Sun's website:

"A source explained to TV Biz: ?John will play the real Ninth Doctor. Christopher Eccleston has always been thought of as the Ninth Doctor but now that John has been revealed as the Ninth Doctor, it shuffles Eccleston?s Doctor to be the Tenth Time Lord, Tennant the 11th and Smith the 12th."

?The reason the Doctor has forgotten his ninth incarnation will become clear but it?s to do with the Time War and his shame over his behaviour in it."

"Eagle-eyed fans have spotted that John Hurt?s costume bears a similarity to Paul McGann and Christopher Eccleston?s ? his version would have come between them."

I'm confused. Why is

John Hurt

involved?

Where is Trensalor?

      Nvidia is your issue more so than linux itself. I did used it for a while with an old 1060 3gb, but using propietary drivers was kind of messy.

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
