[Binari] matlab - the why function
by Sofie Van Landeghem 08 Oct '08

08 Oct '08

Well, this is the most fun I've had in Matlab ever (so you can imagine how much fun I'm having) : >> why It should be obvious. >> why The hamster obeyed some terrified young engineer. >> why She obeyed all. >> why How should I know? >> why Bill told some programmer. >> why A kid told me to. >> why To fool a tall rich not very good hamster. >> why Some very young mathematician insisted on it. >> why Because you suggested it. >> why Joe told some not very tall engineer. >> why To fool a terrified kid. >> why Some not excessively smart hamster wanted it that way. >> why For the love of Damian. >> why Some rich engineer told some smart mathematician. >> why A smart system manager wanted it that way. -Sofie

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,24430462-401,00.html Yesterday as 17-year-old Shaun Dykes prepared to jump from the top of a multi-storey carpark in Derby, northern England, spectators allegedly shouted to him: "How far can you bounce?" Then after Mr Dykes lay in a crumpled heap on the pavement the same hecklers rushed out from behind the police cordon to take photos of the body.

[Binari] Best FPS yet?
by Kenny Billiau 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Apparently, the USA military invested in a realistic shooter with live videofeeds, balastic calculations, and a rubber reusable screen. So yes, this means you actually shoot something at your screen! http://www.defensetech.org/archives/004452.html It's probably not gonna be found in any store soon :/ Kenny

[Binari] new peoples guide
by Esther-Kristin Lather 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

Hi Binari! A coffeebreak-subgroup of us has just thought about how to improve the procedure of becoming-a-new-member-in-BEG. (It came into my head because we have so many new people at the moment and I was wondering if they get such a good introduction like I had and if there is a person who is responsible for it.) As it apparently lays all in the hand of the supervisor of the new person and of other people being friendly to the new one (which depends on so many things...). I/we thought we could make some kind of paper/guide for new people where there is everything in to know. Kenny and I just did some brainstorming (see below) and we ask you to add more things and to contribute (maybe someone wants to explain several points in more detail?). Kenny will put it on to the Wiki. Oh, and should I send this to the whole BEG, should we ask Yves who is not there? Greetings, Esther.

[Binari] fries on friday
by Kenny Billiau 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

Hi, the idea was given to start a new tradition on friday. So, how are we going to do this? There's a frituur on the Grote Baan. It would be stupid to go all at once to the place, no? But it would also be stupid to pick Michiel every week to go and pick up our complicated order of fries, satees, bickies, sauzes, mexicano, frikandels, sandwiches, boules, vuurvreters, satees groot, etc .. So, I suggest a couple of people go and pick up our order at the frituur, and the others do it the week after that. I vote for that whoever replies last (except me ofcourse) has to go and pick up the fries. My arrival dates count (so it's no use fiddling with the clock ;)) -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)psb.ugent.be http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be ==================================================================
