Comment Eccleston 2005! or Matt Smith (Score 2) 655
Start with either Eccleston (2005 series) / 9th Doc or 11th Doctor (Matt Smith). Both are good to start.
Once you get to Tennant (10th) you can review some old eps eg 4th Doctor ones.
I'd avoid 'web planet' - that was unwatchable to me too.

In the application area of video processing, moore's law hasn't been a problem if you switch to multicore processors and run multthreaded software for video encoding.

Submission + - UK union boss proposes email tax (telegraph.co.uk)
Squiff writes: We've heard of initiatives like this before, but surely this one takes some beating: Hard left UK rail union leader Bob Crow has proposed a penny tax on every email in an effort to reduce the UK national debt. Despite his comments apparently being made on a comedy show, we understand that he was not joking. This may be a development of Mr Crow's proposal last year for a similar tax on SMS text messages (http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/dec/19/bob-crow-rmt-tax-text-messages)- which was quickly shown to be inadequate to address the size of the deficit. Maybe someone should tell him about UK uncut (http://www.ukuncut.org.uk/)?

If you're with a date and want to have a couple of coffees and TALK with your date, 30 minutes should NOT be enough. One hour or 1.5 hrs should be, though.
