There's a large difference between relevant links and an actual answer. I was doing my online classwork today and I wanted to find out How many movie theaters are in America. Google didn't flat out give me an answer Watson fast, but yes it did provide me some useful links that I had to pursue. It'd be great if I did and would have saved me several minutes on my school work today.

It's not fundamentally different, just advanced.


I found it in 2 seconds... you're slightly an Internet noob.

Congratulations, Lex, you found information that's 14 years out of date. Hardly what Rorinthas was looking for, I think.

I'm pretty sure the number of record stores in America in 1997 is pretty close to those present today, too, Lex.

A bit more looking I found that in 2007 there were 5,928 theaters, 383 of them being drive-ins. And there were 38,794 screens with 635 of them being drive-ins.

So yeah, Lex's result is both outdated and answers the wrong question. ;)

But he found it in 2 seconds! Doesn't speed count for something?

Yes. **** everything Tivoli. **** it up the arse with a refridgerator.


Holy crap yes. It is like you read my mind. Its so bad I am afraid to buy any piece of software whose name starts with a T. Tivoli Provisioning Manager is making my professional life miserable at the moment. You want to get a a huge laugh? Ask IBM for installation instructions for TPM. I can give you installation instructions for TPM, but they sure as hell can't. Who the frack sells software when they don't even have a fracking clue how to install it?

IBM, that's who.

I object to this, because that involves **** Tivoli Fest up the arse with a refrigerator. I like the carnival.

And who sells backup software that doesn't reliably back things up? IBM, that's who!
