[Binari] VDHSoft assembled
by Kenny Billiau 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

Hi, apparently, VDH still assembles it's computers (with omg, floppy drives included :/ I should dump that for a DVD drive, no ? ;)) Does anyone have any remarks about this list: http://www.vdhsoft.be/eu/0046.HTM I'm mainly interested in all PCs under 500e. (But I am hitting at those around 400e.) But I'm mainly confused weither to take a Athlon, a quadcore, a cure 2 duo, core 2 quad .. Does anyone have something sensible to say about it (like: it's not worth to already buy a quadcore as they simply don't offer the power for the money you throw at it.) All of the VDH computer have a NVidia 8400 GS (PCIe, 40e card). So, this is enough to play HL2 :) Unless all say that this is the most shitty card to buy :/ (I'm really out of touch with these things.) -Kenny -- ================================================================== Kenny Billiau Web Developer Tel:+32 (0)9 331 36 95 fax:+32 (0)9 3313809 VIB Department of Plant Systems Biology, Ghent University Technologiepark 927, 9052 Gent, BELGIUM kenny.billiau(a)ugent.be http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be ================================================================== "To do what is necessary, always is wise" - Sarek

Hey, Does anybody know how to cite BioPerl in a document (i.e. my thesis)? There is a link to their list of publications on their wiki page (www.bioperl.org ), but it is not working... Tine

[Binari] warm food
by Joost Van Den Cruyce 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

Because both me and my girlfriend are used to eating some warm food at noon, I'm often travelling by car/bike (depending on the weather) to the astrid resto about 1.5 km from here. The food there is basic and cheap but it's still edible :). But it seems I'm the only one preferring the warm food at noon since I am truly a psb loner over there. Are there some alternatives I don't know of (except the uz resto), or is everyone sandwich addicted?

Hi, I've found HL2 (collector's edition, yes with the cookiebox) for one euro somewhere, but I don't have the hardware to play the game.
