Umm, DC has 106.76% the population of Wyoming as of the 2010 census, not 1/5. DC Population = 601,723; Wyoming = 563,626. If DC were a State, it would 50th and Wyoming would be 51. Unless you were talking about the US Virgin Islands, which does have a population around 1/5 (closer to 1/6) the population of Wyoming.…

2/2008 really wasn't a new iPhone, they merely added a 16 gb version of the first iPhone. The real release schedule is as follows:

It would require a slight redesign of the Apps' layouts. I like the idea of some apps keeping the "display" the same, adding black-bars on the sides of the "display area", and putting the controls in the black-bar area. For example, the Sonic 2 iOS game currently has the controls at the bottom of the screen. My fat…

Your math is off. An increase of 4 units of something to 5 units is a 25% increase. However, a decrease of 5 units of something to 4 units is a decrease of 20%. You calculate this by comparing the change of units to the amount of units you begin with. In the first example, you start with 4 units and increase by 1…

Regarding #3.

"I could complain that any movie still in the theaters should be treated with better spoiler protection,"

It said he has no sons. No sons means that whoever marries his daughter gets her inheritance. In the books they use it as a way for one family to legitimize taking another family's property. It is also about control, which is why the Tyrells thought it was so important to give Renly a son. If you don't have a son,…

That's a somewhat true statement. It is true that in the pre-1870's baseball years the game was played with a larger more shock-absorbent ball and without gloves; however, that was not the dead ball era. The dead ball era was from 1900-1918, well after the game switched to balls the same size as baseballs today and…

Intentionally vague spoilers:

Spoilers:

I suspect the entire episode (or close to it) will be Blackwater and the last episode will show the House of the Undying, John's (fake) Benedict Arnold, Arya getting change (and learning a key phrase), shit blowing up in Theon's face, and the little princes starting their *walk. I wouldn't be surprised if a cliff…

I'm positive the coin and phrase will come up later... note the title of the last episode of the season.

No, but she has IP rights for "Auror," so they better change the title. She also has the IP rights to the HP Universe, so they better not make any cross references to the source material.

Utopia Planitia Shipyards are on and in orbit of Mars... duh! They should rename the ISS McKinley Station. ;-)

You mean decades after Prometheus right? Alien took place in 2122, but Prometheus is set in the last 21st century (2085ish).

They implied in the movie that the "soldiers" fighting for Loki weren't mind controlled agents, but bad guys who don't like SHIELD. In one scene Erik Selvig asks Hawkeye where he got all of those men, to which Hawkeye responded: "SHIELD has a lot of enemies."

Lite was using the Transitive Property:

Those are photos of the first subway in New York. They were closed in 1873. In 1989 a subterranean river of ectoplasm was discovered flowing through the "old pneumatic" tubes towards the Manhattan Museum of Art.

Not to nitpick, but how can a tube be filled with vacuum?

Yup. The Intrepid is getting the Enterprise. Atlantis is staying in FL at the Kennedy Space Center, Discovery is going to the Smithsonian (and replacing the Enterprise which is currently at the Smithsonian), and Endeavour is going to the California Science Center in Los Angeles.
