FWIW, I bet your problem isn't your drives, check them in another computer and with different cables - I'm willing to bet it's just as likely the controller or the cabling as the drives themselves (the odds of multiple drives failing at once is rather high)

But yeah, requests for demo site link, PM me and I'll try to sort it ASAP while jotting down how I want to build the new package manager I've talked about.

TE, you made the jump to SimpleXML? I was carefully going to reuse Subs-Package.php to interpret XML in the package manager overhaul but if SXML is already used in one area, hell, let's reuse it properly! (And, incidentially, I had to bone up on it for my Zend exam that was supposed to be next week but won't be due to an administrative fuck up caused by my not having a passport.)

WampServer... no thanks, I've been building configurations manually for years, I'd hate to stop now ;) I may have to bump Apache too but since I checked and find myself on Apache 2.0 and PHP 5.2.6 it's probably time to update localhost anyway.

Btw, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) has 5.3.2 so if Ubuntu does it on an LTS release, it might not be so hard to convince others to do so...

I'd offer to help if it would make a difference, but I doubt their pride would help.

There is one current blocker. I don't think it's even on the tracker.

@dorje: The split is exactly how Apple's guidelines suggest for a device of the iPad's 1024x768 resolution ;)

The producers of the BBC thought it would be weird to a 1960s audience...

While your mobile theme works very nicely on tablets as-is, I can certainly understand the logic of having the split view.

That's the one thing about tablets that keeps it interesting - they're too big to really benefit from most 'mobile' things and too small to stretch out with the ever-increasing size of desktop stuff (even 1280 wide is considered quite narrow these days!)

Well, her being his grand-daughter was more implied than stated, IIRC, and not for continuity reasons (but simply because an old man travelling with a young girl would be weird)

There have been vague references to it, the Doctor has (even in the reboot) said he's been a father and a grandfather, but it's implied that because of the Time War, there weren't any other Time Lord survivors.

So perhaps he planned for her to sort-of die in there, but then when he thought about the timelord DNA thing, he forgot about that...
Well... she says that the Doctor would die if he were to become part of the matrix, so I suspect that it wouldn't matter either way.

Plus, from what we've seen, needs to be a higher percentage of Time Lord DNA (cf The Doctor's Daughter)
Quote
(e.g. if she's got one heart and not two, maybe a timelord needs two hearts to be able to regenerate -- one of the hearts takes over while the other's working, I dunno.)
The Doctor has survived more than once temporarily on one heart (not just in the context of the Human/Time Lord metacrisis, cf. The Shakespeare Code for example)

Apparently so, but there's more to the story than we've been told...

Revision: 802
Author: arantor
Date: 02:39:49, 09 June 2011
Message:
! Several small bug fixes to the hooks code, notably that remove_hook couldn't ever remove a given hook because it actually requires the filename to be passed to it too, so it can be matched, plus the discrepancy of add_hook not explicitly checking for .php entries, plus handling some undefined variables. (Subs.php)

+ Addon Manager now understands a new XML entry in addon-info.xml files, specifically for managing hooks. (Packages.php, Subs-Package.php, Packages.english.php)

@ Documentation forthcoming in the New Revs - Comments thread, along with the one known bug at this time.

I think the answer to that is no.
