Seven dumb things you can ask Jeeves,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
As we noted in the past, Ask Jeeves! is not as clever as he looks; nor is he a search engine that will help you with every problem. Still, we need to give the old codger his due.
As Traffick has noted in the past, Ask Jeeves! is not as clever as he looks; nor is he a search engine that will help you with every problem.
Still, we need to give the old codger his due. We been remiss in pointing to the major advantage of Jeeves: the premise that a service could be developed to handle the "sweet spot" of common research problems and ordinary human conundrums. So,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], herewith, some examples of this unique answer service in action.
The rating system here is easy to follow: Jeeves response,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the speed with which you get your problem solved,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], will be rated o of "Great Scott, you done it again, Jeeves!," "satisfactory," or "outta my way,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], grandpa."
1. What time is it here? Let say you screw up the time o your computer. You too lazy to go find a clock. Your watch was eaten by wolves. Where the darn web site with the real time o it? We asked Jeeves. No problem, we found the time in under 30 seconds. Rating: satisfactory.
2. Why can I tie my shoe? You drunk. You are late for the second party of the evening,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], after changing your shoes, soiled through careless walking. You must leave! Sociability beckons! But you can find the handle. What can Jeeves do for us here,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], besides suggesting that he just shine your existing shoes while you stand and wait? In this case, Jeeves could not help out with the explanation "you drunk - wear sandals" or anything remotely close. We were served up pitiable suggestions like "Where can I find the comic strip and were beckoned to buy Adidas shoes o Jeeves closest answer was a sponsored link (he likes those) from Sprinks about child readiness for kindergarten. Rating: outta my way, grandpa.
3. What is the word I looking for? We all done it, been in the middle of a sentence like. youthful. what is the word I looking for?" Usually, your friend will jump in and at least try to help. Sometimes, she even hit the nail right o the head. "INSOUCIANCE!!!" your friend shouts.
Not Jeeves. He comes back with nothing more than a bunch of Mamma metasearch results, o of which is a WebMD article "Do You Want to Feel Sexier?" Hmm,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], when you can win o brains, fool with sex. Clever, old man, clever. Rating: satisfactory.
4. How many grams in a teaspoon? Just try finding this o anywhere o in a form you can comprehend. Jeeves leaves us to sift through the usual maddening tables. The best we find is that 1 teaspoon = 5mL. That a liquid measure, and I guess if it were water, that might mean that the weight would also be 5 grams. But Jeeves, like most of the sources out there, seems unwilling to provide hard-hitting answers to this puzzling problem. Rating: satisfactory.
5,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Are we there yet?
Admittedly, we just asked this o to get the old guy goat. He seems to have been prepared for it, though. What, exactly, is butylated hydroxytoluene?
The time-honored time-waster, reading ingredients from the back of the cheese doodles bag, often leads to the moment when the preservative-addled participants seriously want to know what it is they been ingesting. Jeeves doesn pull any punches here, understanding the question and directing us to "more information about the food additive BHA and BHT," a medical study which addresses carcinogenity and everything. Rating: "Great Scott, You Done it Again,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Jeeves!"
7,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Will the Chiefs cover o Monday night?
We all heard people say "why don these psychics go down to Vegas and make a million dollars?" Apparently, the psychic business doesn work that way. The deal is, psychics make money from pretending to be psychics. Football prognosticators, in the best case, make money by writing funny jokes before posting their picks. And Jeeves,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], of course, makes his money pretending to know the answers to stuff.
Let see if the debonair older gent can find us a winner. With a few glances past some silly encyclopedia entries about the word "chief," we quickly find a relevant sponsored link courtesy Sprinks. Skip Gibson, About Guide to Fantasy Leagues (um, shouldn he be telling us to start Christian Fauria at tight end, or something,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], not telling us how to beat the spread?), is telling us to take the Seahawks +3. Sorry to disagree,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Skip, we take the Chiefs at Arrowhead, because the Seahawks are the o o of these two teams that stinks. (Hmm, wethinks this might be an outdated page, since Skip is saying that "Joey Galloway is back for the Seahawks" when Joey has since departed for the Cowboys and suffered a season-ending injury.) Rating: outta my way,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], grandpa!
