Movie quiz!

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Having wasted waaay more time than than I probably should have I'm up to 30/50.
I did have to check the spelling of a few movies. I'm going to claim that not being a native English-speaker and not living in the US I'm entitled to... :stickouttounge:

And there's a few I just can't put my finger on, I sorta think I know them but... gah.
 
I made it up to 39 before I quit for the night. And some of those were ones I had been staring at all night then all of a sudden it just popped in my head, resulting in a huge "oh, DUH" moment. :)

I'll have to give it another go tonight. Thankfully it will save your spot (though it stinks that you have to feed it an e-mail to do so...)
 
Nope, but the point is still there. I just gave it one of my 'crap' email addresses I have lying around for things like that :)
 
Very addictive quiz though! :)
 
Maybe there should be a thread for "Crap" e-mail addresses we all have hanging around for such purposes.

I usually make 'em up on the fly, I used UpYers@hotmail.com for this little quiz.
 
Amazing how many will take 1 at 2 dot 3. You should at least use regex to verify it validates the RFC
 
...validates the RFC

Rician Fading Channel or Russian Family Code?

Alphabetspeak really annoys me, and it's really annoying when you ask the perpetrator what it stands for and they make out like you're stupid for not knowing. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

I remember a conversation with term LRM regarding companies like General Electric and Westinghouse. Turns out it was Large Rotating Machines. I just checked, and that's not in any of the online acronym dictionaries. <o:p></o:p>

People make them up as they go and treat you like an idiot if you can't figure it out.<o:p></o:p>
