I sometimes refer to DVD's as CD's but only as a joke, and to make a point....technically, DVD is a subset of CD. CD (Compact Disc) seems to refer to the size (compact) and physical nature (disc) of the medium, not anything about the particular digital format. Hence, DVD is a type of CD:)
Actually, rottentomatoes is not an average score, but a percentage of the total that are positive. In other words, if EVERYONE gives a movie the exact same score, 60%, then the movie will get 100% on RT since they were ALL positive. Metacritic actually gives an average score.
Wow your concept of numbers is really poor. First of all from 98 to 135 is an increase of 37 (which you call a "slight increase) while the increase from 135 to 179 is 44 (which you call a "shocking increase"). How is 37 a slight increase, while 44 is a SHOCKING increase? That makes no sense. Second of all 98 to 179 is not doubling, but maybe with that I am quibbling.
potential offspring? I didn't know you can send unborn children to college...
Kind of like saying in the early 1960's the United States and the Former Soviet Union almost started Nuclear War with the Cuban Missle Crisis. Actually that would be the Soviet Union, thanks.
No actually you are wrong. I'll say it again: Ever hear of past tense?
I guess the sentence is wrong because it doesn't have an article, perhaps it should be "RIAA set up a bittorrent server", but I think it is correct according to the grammar found on history/timelines
I think there it is a crime against humanity that people are not free to make their own Star Wars movie (or any other derivative work based on any other mythology). I'm not going near the copyright issue really: if you produce you a unique film perhaps you should have the right to profit off of it for a period of time. But you shouldn't have the right to own characters or universes and anyone should be able to make their own unique film (book, etc.) similar to it.
WTF? First of all, goats are kosher. Second of all, an animal MUST have cloven hooves to be Kosher. If it doesn't have cloven hooves it CAN'T be eaten.
There was once a slashdot story with the headline "In Korea only old people use e-mail" talking about the common use of SMS among kids. Someone suggested that this should be the new "In soviet russia..." joke. I think I was the first one to use the "In korea only old people...." joke in another story.
I heard of this technique that sharpens your cornea so much that you have something like better than 20/1 vision. You vision can get so crisp that you may eventually see jaggies, because the resolution of your cornea will be better than the resolution of your actual retinal cells. Pretty cool, though I wouldn't want to see jaggies, so I'd opt for vision just below that level of clarity.
Predictive text is great it works really well, you just have to know how to add words to the dictionary and know how to cycle through words. For example, if you typed G-A-M-E you have to know how to cycle through the available words to get the word "game" if your phone thinks you want the word "hand". Predictive text is great unless you don't know how to use it.
I'm having tons of problems and I still cannot play. I've gotten it to work once or twice but the majority of times I can't get it to start. Including right now.

2005: RIAA set up bittorrent server
Anyway.
Actually it is a sentence, it was just missing a space. Try "RIAA set up bittorrent server". Ever hear of past tense?

Why, are you gay?
Actually there are 3 billion base pairs, each base pair being 2 bits of data. So it would actually take about 9 or 10 CDs
I know it's not a british accent, that's my point... I was being ironic

So how did users get third party addons without the internet? I mean, obviously they couldn't download it.
Err, do you mean a cable box in a card?
