  1. Hey I am also getting a new pc soon (not quite the beast that is being discussed in that other thread), but I'm interested to know what other people do with their old pcs.

     

    Yamada are offering 100 yen to take my old one eek.gif eek.gif (yes, ONE HUNDRED!).

     

    I'd like to know of (much!) better alternatives.

    The snow-capped summit of Mount Kilimanjaro has melted away to reveal the tip of the African peak for the first time in 11,000 years.

     

    The glaciers and snow which kept the summit white have almost completely disappeared.

     

    Although scientists had predicted the melt would happen, it is 15 years sooner than they had predicted.

  3. I just read an interesting article in an overseas magazine.

     

    The question:

    --So what does "a 90% chance of rain" really mean?

     

    The answer, from an expert forecaster:

    There is no simple answer. It means that out of every 100 such forecasts, rain will actually fall on about 90 of them. He adds however that the figure also indicates the degree of confidence the Met Office has in it's forecast, with 90% indicating pretty confident. To make it more fun, the guy recommends treating such weather forecasts as you would traffic lights. Probabilities over 70% are "red", between 50-70% are amber and anything below 50% is green so no need for the umbrella.

     

    Oh, ok then.
