I'm gonna have to go with Mousepotato(e) on this one. His boss sucks three holes, sideways.
The weathermen/women couldn't predict weather with tarrot cards 60 years ago, and the computer simulations aren't much better. What's the use in calculating for 10,000 variables when the system is comprised of 10^10 variables. Movie critics rate slightly above high school coaches (the lowest form of human), but under shopping channel hosts.
for all the advanced technology weathermen sure can not predict the weather for sh&t. what other job can you be that wrong all the time and still be employed. every time a weather person predicts the weather incorrectly they should receive a public flogging for inconviencing people with improper weather forcasts.
theyre accusing,lk alwyz wo knwng wht s jst fctn& wht s the truth.
Yeah, and Seattle too. Predicting high humidity for Barbados, or a heat wave for Houston is right on the money too.
Now tracking tornadoes/hurricanes is another thing. I give those guys credit, especially the tornadoes because you've got 10 minutes to tell who needs to climb down into the basements.
I heard the other day that the Meteorological Office was boasting that they are now up to 80% accuracy. But the back of my alarm clock with it's little barometer gadget says that its right 70% of the time. That means I get 70% for £5, and the extra 10% for a couple of million. How much will 90% cost?
Also, 80% of the time means that 1 day of each working week they stuff it up.
"Movie critics rate slightly above high school coaches (the lowest form of human), but under shopping channel hosts."
Very interesting...how it reveals your experience and thus your age. As you get older you discover that the lowest forms of human beings are: used car sales men, lawyers and politicians.
Here's a bit of pointless video game trivia. (Hmm, is saying pointless alongside trivia redundant? )
If it's the Super Mario Bros that came out on the NES, then it isn't actually the first Mario Bros game.
Mario has appeared in two Nintendo games for the arcades that I know of (maybe even more that I don't) before the NES showing of Super Mario Bros. There was Donkey Kong, in which Donkey Kong threw stuff down ramps at Mario, and Mario had to jump them to get to Donkey Kong. (I guess in an attempt to return him to a zoo?) The other was Mario Brothers (note, no Super in front of the title) in which Mario and Luigi ran around in a miniature sewer and they had to head-butt the floor under these crabs, turtles, and other stuff that kept climbing around to flip them over so that they could then kick them away.
Leave it to the Japanese to put two Italians in a sewer with crabs...
I believe one of the Super Mario Brothers games even had a mini-game that was simply a reproduction of this old game that was the very first Mario Brothers video game.
-THG isn't AMD biased. They just turn Intel mobo reviews into AMD vs. Intel debates for fun. Yeah.
