Is there a website that lets me send text messages to phones? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 19, 12:19 5
- Thanks, guys. - Dr.Vermin Jun 19, 12:27
- If you know their service provider. -- (link) - Dano Jun 19, 12:22
- You can usually go to the person's phone service provider (Sprint, At&t, etc.) and do it from there. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 19, 12:20
- verizon users can do it through the website, so I presume Sprint can too. -- nm - Max Jun 19, 12:20

Based on this summer so far, I'm not surprised movie studios keep going with sequel after sequel. - ty97 Jun 19, 12:18 14
- TERM4 bombed. Wolverine underperformed. Night at the Museum underperformed. Star Trek, Up, and Hangover are the winners so far - dug Jun 19, 12:20 13
  - Star Trek is franchise. Up is, arguably, Pixar franchise. - ty97 Jun 19, 12:23 12
    - none of them are sequels. you said sequels. and underperforming relative to expectations is how Wall Street judges things -- nm - dug Jun 19, 12:25 6
      - Star Trek isn't a sequel? - ty97 Jun 19, 12:26 5
        
        it's no more a sequel than Batman Begins or Superman Reborn were - dug Jun 19, 12:28
        
        No, it's not -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 12:27
        
        no. a reboot is not a sequel. - znufrii Jun 19, 12:27
        
        I think it's a franchise. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 12:27 1
        
        For purposes of my argument, the sequel/franchise distinguishment really doesn't matter. - ty97 Jun 19, 12:29
    - Pixar is a franchise? -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 12:24 3
      - arguably, perhaps. It's more a brand, which serves much the same function in selling a film as being a franchise. -- nm - znufrii Jun 19, 12:25 2
        
        that's like saying Spielberg is a franchise. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 12:27 1
        
        it's a much broader definition than is usually applied to the term. I would classify Spielberg as more of a brand. - znufrii Jun 19, 12:28

  - thatis not pizza, it is a pita. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 19, 12:15 11
    - no way, pita is soft. Pizza is crisp. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 12:15 10
      - if you can fold it, it is not crisp. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 19, 12:16 9
        
        i agree with groincumber -- nm - kare Jun 19, 12:16 7
        
        seriously, are you eat pizza on a cracker? -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 12:18 5
        
        if it's truly thin and crisp, it's going to break. -- nm - kare Jun 19, 12:27 2
        
        sure, it cracks, but it doesn't disintegrate into crumbs like a pretzel when you fold it. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 12:28
        
        (laughing. are we really debating this?) -- nm - kare Jun 19, 12:28
