There are two of the nozzles on display at Disney California Adventure in Anaheim. One is behind a fence near a restaurant seating area; the other is fitted with a mister and mounted on a gantry outside the "Soarin'" attraction. You can stand right under it.
It's a power substation which serves the White House.
Um, Doctor Who has worked this way since 1963. How, exactly, is this a "huge" change?
Thank you. Maybe I'm just too pedantic, but I'm so tired of the lazy "it's a hologram!" that people attach to simple projections all the time.
In Jackson, MS there is a huge topographic model of the Mississippi river basin. So, even the US builds models of terrain.
Well, I think its real predecessor was this one at Disneyland - and sadly, Buzz is still light years more natural looking than the Mask-bot.
Amusing enough, but I kind of expected to read about things I might notice in HD. None of these things will be evident when watching in Blu-Ray, one assumes. Unless of course the disc enables some cool alternate reality firmware.
Oh, the memories! This costume was displayed in the late 70s near San Francisco at Marine World Africa USA... I remember seeing it when I was a kid!
One thing that always bothered me about the PADD, however, is that despite the endlessly reconfigurable interface, people still had multiple PADDs stacked up on their desk, and rummaged through them to find the one they wanted. Shouldn't they have had just one, and touched the screen to find what they wanted?
Love the cracking writing so far. Moffat can certainly pack a lot into a single sentence, especially timey-wimey ones like "Tomorrow morning, a long, long time ago."
Back in the day, it took YEARS to get here. If you wanted to watch one "fresh" - meaning, months late instead of years late - you'd get someone in the UK to film their PAL screen with an NTSC VHS camcorder and ship it over. Whine, whine, whine. Meanwhile, the BBC hasn't announced a start date for the UK yet. Yes, the facile conclusion from "Easter" would be April 3, but until they announce that specific date, journalistic integrity would dictate that one say "the presumptive air date."
Frankly, I think the iPad is far better than the Star Trek pads -- mostly because I only need one of them. In Star Trek, for some reason, each pad could only hold one kind of data, and we'd often see a character with a stack of them on a desk, hunting for the correct one. I ask you -- what in the world is the point of that?
Did he call that broken robot "Chumbly?" 'Cos that was a Dr Who robot as well back in the 60s...
@entroPboy: Nope. The line in "The Three Doctors" is "Show me the earliest Doctor." Then William Hartnell appears. I have to say that I always interpreted the Morbius scene to mean that the Doctor was losing at first -- his previous incarnations were appearing -- but then he began to win, showing Morbius' incarnations, because the first image after Hartnell was that of the Morbius bust Solon was sculpting... Morbius' last incarnation before his existence in a bubbling jar.
Another reason we're running out of IP addresses: spammers. When spammers send out their scams, the IPs they use are blocked. It's gotten so bad that there are entire ranges of IP addresses that are blocked and unusable now.
@bookwench: "last" incarnation? If they stick to the established canon, he has 2 incarnations left - but it's pretty obvious that they can change the 12 regeneration limit with a wave of a pen at this point.
Not a "new" image - fans on the set posted this one months ago.
I got those calls each and every month for quite a while after I got AT&T's combined billing. The combined bill, for landline and wireless, is so disconnected (pun intended) from the two separate entities that once in place, neither the wireless company nor the landlane company can figure out if you've paid your bill.
And worse, neither of them can give you customer service because evidently the combined billing comes from somewhere else, possibly not located on this planet.
