Did the man at 1600 - which is a big number - just admit that Google has a bigger number?

31% after 6 years is correct (7% increases in each of the last 4 years of each 6-year period). Also note that the average per year of each 6-year period is 4.6%. I wonder was the agreement convoluted in order to confuse, shake off the posse? I’m still not seeing the reported “28%” legitimately buried in there.

“... your car will wait a minimum of one and a half seconds before starting the lane change ...” Too may use that switch as a turning “decorator” (“I like those flashing lights, they make my car even nicer than the pools of light in front of my fog lights and rallycross LED headlights”)

Aargh! - "it's books" = "it is books" and "it's faults" = "it is faults". And you fault a few countries for faulty books because of a few misplaced commas/decimals (depending what country you're in)?

I bet it was someone at a console in a server room on New Year's Eve given the task of incrementing the hexadecimal year on the dot of midnight. One can too many and all he could think of was "nine plus one ... put down the nought and carry the one". Thus 7d9 (2009) + 1 = 7e0 (2016) instead of 7da (2010). He's probably well sobbered up by now.

I, too, remember the Jurassic Park DTS intro distinctly. My ears didn't quite bleed but it was painful and I never went back to that theatre. Star Wars: Episode I was another aural overload experience - my g/f of the time never came to the cinema with me again (.. though .. maybe she didn't like Jar Jar Binks .. yes, that was it).

So I agree with earlier poster - complain to THX, Dolby or whoever. Campaign for quality sound, no overload. Make your views known to theatre management and even threaten to push for decertification.
