Network Ten did not issue any press releases stating the wrapping up of ''Rush''. Executive Producer of Drama and Production at Network Ten, Rick Maier, issued a statement on the show's official Facebook page: "While we don't discount a return series, it is not on the cards at this stag ...

Glitch (Australian TV Series)
A glitch is a short-lived fault in a system, such as a transient fault that corrects itself, making it difficult to troubleshoot. The term is particularly common in the computing and electronics industries, in circuit bending, as well as among players of video games. More generally, all types of systems including human organizations and nature experience glitches. A glitch, which is slight and often temporary, differs from a more serious bug which is a genuine functionality-breaking problem. Alex Pieschel, writing for ''Arcade Review'', said: bug' is often cast as the weightier and more blameworthy pejorative, while 'glitch' suggests something more mysterious and unknowable inflicted by surprise inputs or stuff outside the realm of code." Etymology Some reference books, including ''Random House's American Slang'', claim that the term comes from the German word ''glitschen'' ("to slip") and the Yiddish word ''glitshn'' ("to slide", "to skid"). Either way, it is a relatively ne ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
