The average error in the NHC forecasted position of a hurricane three days in the future has shrunk to a third of what it was in 1990--a staggering accomplishment. However, as you may have gathered, forecasts of future storm *strength* have proved more difficult to improve.

(from Portuguese) Create an array of 3 or more images each receiving a value, done that I want them to be shown on the screen after (x) seconds, I couldn't create this because I'm creating a game (fruit ninja style) that the pictures fall from the top of the screen randomly every x milliseconds.

but thanks :)

Braiam

@Yes mm... you may want to ignore revisions unless they are done to their own posts (or posts of another CoGro)

Andrew T.

too much Gabe and Nicolas :)

user259867

No easy way to determine the OP of revised post with this approach (I don't want to complicate things with API calls). Ignoring all revisions seems reasonable; when they are important, a CM usually comments.

@Yes I hope there's language filtered for site selections (can't understand anything on pt.so and ru.so), but it's a good start nonetheless.

user259867

@AndrewT. They might write in English some day. Usually, text in another language is pretty easy to ignore.

Doorknob

also, then the problem is you being bad at spelling, not autocorrect

@Braiam I don't think that's a good idea.
