Matt Smith as a huge mountain to climb, the makers of Doctor Who should not have made sign a five year contract before he's even done one episode. I personally think he'll be one of the worst yet, the details we've had on what his persona will be like made him sound like he'll be like the 6th Doctor, oh joy.

Haven't the producers said multiple times they would never have a female doctor because it was specificially mentioned in the older series that there couldn't be one?

And Catherine Tate as the 1st female doctor? Ehhhh, no. Honestly I'm shocked more people liked Donna than Martha (K9 was more popular!).

And man, do I remember Tom Baker's Doctor. That darn scarf! I'll always remember his regeneration into Peter Davison (which is David Tennant's first memory of DW also yay).

I liked Donna better than Rose and Martha. Donna could be annoying at times but she brought out the best in the Doctor. She wasn't in love with him and she wasn't in awe of him. She knew exactly when he was going too far and she reined him in. Donna and Wilf seem to be able to bring him out of that shell he has surrounded himself with since coming through the Time War. He would actually talk with them.

I agree as well. But from what I remember people posting on here, it was just kinda odd the British public at large liked Donna more than Martha - considering many people on Neowin hated Donna when she took over lol

I was always a Donna fan :p

Catherine Tate was part Time Lord, kind of breaks the rules really.

No, there can be female Time Lords, but not a female Doctor. I don't remember the exact reasoning that was given many years ago but it was more than likely just as simple as he was born a man and can only regenerat into other men lol not a woman.

This. Every episodes that involved the Daleks, thus far, were quite epic, that had me on the edge of the seat. I'd definitely want to see more of the Daleks.

Personally, I think the show would do well to avoid Daleks for a while. They're being used way too much and their last 2 story arcs were absolutely terrible. Same goes for the Cybermen.

Having seen the trailer for the next series, the Daleks are definitely back, so I hope they at least put away the Cybermen. I'm sure Moffat can come up with some really great villains.

    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case

      By sikhwarrior · Posted

      I think this will appeal to a lot of enthusiasts. If the thermals are similar to those of a single system in a compact case, many people running multiple systems may choose to combine them into one machine, provided the case footprint remains reasonable.

    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time

      By BlueScreenJunky · Posted

      No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.

    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
