Yes, its either that or close the lid. It’s what I’m forced to do because they won’t fix a bug in their program.

Comment on At long last. Top Gear Australia is here! by Si

I can understand why they have aimed for a carbon copy of the UK version - they’re too scared NOT to, and it’s often like that in TV Land. I disagree that they are all “droll”, give em a season to get to know each other, and to each find their place in the dynamic. Remember, Top Gear UK has been going for 11 seasons. And that series sucked in the first season, I watched it painfully and was so glad they ditched that awful host. I think it will be very interesting to see what the hosts’ racing background brings to the show. It is already obvious that Steve is a technology geek.

Actually, the UK Top Gear is so successful because it manages to attract a loyal female audience (40%).

Great, they made AU Top gear. They spent zillions copying UK TP. The format, graphical ideas, even the studio, everything, but they forgot to put three comical and funny mates in it. Instead they used three droll people from an auto background.
James May, Richard Hammond and Jerermy Clarkson were not race car drivers, or cartoonists, before top gear, just average blokes with a bit of a funny matey, streak who just so happened knew and loves cars, which is what people find entertaining and relate to. Heck look at James May hes such a dag and a fuddy duddy its amazing he is successfull at all! But he is, because he is mates with the other two and they geniunely carry on like that in the show, in real life. I feel that AU top gear producers have missed this and thought that if they just get three well known liked guys from a heavily racing car background that they will do. Wrong, they haved missed the point of why TG UK is so successfull.

They have tried too hard to copy UK top gear and used the wrong guys. But out of the three my favourite would be Warren Brown. Please get rid of Steve Pazzati I find him bloody annoying.

OK, I have already opened it up and after a few yawns I closed it up again. The most interesting thing was that the optical drive appears to be fairly customised for the system. It uses a custom power connector, rather than the 4-pin one found on most IDE drives. I suspect this is connector also allows the eject button to work.

Comment on The Curse of Dominic Minghella by Joan

I know this is a very long time after the fact but I am still angry with how Foz Allen and Dominic Minghella ruined this show after just 1 season. I never saw Doc Martin–but the curse of this version of Robin Hood came from the fact that they decided to move the focus off of Robin and onto Guy of Gisborne. Dominic even says in the commentary on the season 2 DVD that the show ended the way it did because that was the way Guy and Marian’s story was always going to end. I must have missed something because I turned in to watch Robin’s story and not Guy’s. Now the actor playing Robin will leave after season 3 and who can blame him.

Open it, gut it, and then see if you can cram the innards of a bunch of other consoles inside and have them share the optical drive. It would be like one of those cheap and crappy 100-in-1 games cartridges that you see on eBay except it wouldn’t be cheap. Do it.
