Okay, I know what Mercury (Rio Receiver) and Jupiter (Rio Central) are. But what's Tardis and Whitechapel?

I'm sorry, Tman. As much as I respect your work for the empeg community, we're going to have to kill you now.

Tardis was the name of the type of time machine used the Doctor (and the rest of his race) from the BBC TV show Doctor Who.

Whitechapel is a section of London probably most famous for being the site of the Jack the Ripper killings of 1888.

Hey! Whoa! Calm down Somebody left a comment in the source code about how Jupiter, Tardis and Whitechapel all used a 2.4.x kernel.
Is one of these the mixing thing that was shown at the owners meet a while back?

There's a story behind Whitechapel, but I can't tell you... I came up with the name, though

Whitechapel... Jack the Ripper... The first empeg was named "Jack"... Of course "ripper"... Are we looking at a Mark3 with built in ripping capabilities???

Funnily enough, the project codename for Pearl is "Pearl". We thought it was less confusing that way.
