Windows 2000 and DOS were pretty good. Pattern destroyed.

Can we have a thread just for minimalist posters? Can't get enough of that style, and it's been getting big in the past year and a half or so.

I thought the joke in that picture is pretty obvious.

Yeah, the Intuos 4 is pretty nice.

I'm just impressed the owner has a Stephen King hardback. I mean, wouldn't he have a digital copy?

Dude. Rory. 2000 years.

Yeah.

Well I'm a new-who guy (Namely cause I havn't gotten around to original who yet), but that has always kinda bugged me. The Doctor seems like he should be a LOT older than 900 and some.

Though I love the mid-life crisis idea. It would be awesome if that every time he gave his age it was some wildly varying number.

Since we're talking about it. If you think about it, with the amount of time we actually spend with the doctor compared to how often he regens, you gotta imagine that there are just decades and decades of time between adventures where the Doctor is just off doing his own thing.

Also...why is the Doctor always human? Isn't it like specifically spelled out that it's possible for him to regen as any species in the verse?

bam, you want nerdage, I can do nerdage.

"The Time Lords' ability to change species during regeneration is referred to in the television movie by the Eighth Doctor in relation to the Master. This is supported by the implication by the Daleks that the First Doctor's apparently human appearance was not his true form (The Daleks' Master Plan, 1965) and the Fourth Doctor's Time Lady companion Romana's regeneration scene in Destiny of the Daleks (1979). In that scene Romana demonstrates an apparent ability to "try on" different bodies from a number of different species during her regeneration, before settling on a final, humanoid form which physically resembles Princess Astra of Atrios (see discussion below).

While explaining the process of regeneration to Rose at the end of "The Parting of the Ways", the Ninth Doctor suggests that his new form could have "two heads", or even "no head", although it is unclear if he is merely joking. In the 2005 Children in Need special, which takes place immediately after, the newly regenerated Tenth Doctor, while examining his new body, makes a point of checking that he has two arms, two legs and two hands, implying that regenerations can sometimes result in physically deformed or non-humanoid forms; whether this is also a joke is not clear. In the second part of The End of Time (2010), the Eleventh Doctor also enumerates eyes, ears, hands, fingers, and legs, and after feeling his hair, even wonders for a moment if he has changed sex. (In a later episode, "The Doctor's Wife," the Doctor refers to another Time Lord, the Corsair, having been both male and female in various incarnations.)"
