Chriselle 158 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I was commenting to my wife last night that I didn't know women's soccer even existed before all this silliness. All we need now is for the women's basketball team (if there is such a thing) to do something....We'd have some good high paced sporting action then.. Link to post Share on other sites

BagOfCrisps 24 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Breaking News: In the first series of The Only Way Is Essex, Amy Childs and Kirk Norcross split up almost before they began. Despite the nightclub manager and beautician moving on - and then breaking up - with Lauren Pope and Joe Hurlock, the pair have been growing close again in recent days. After Norcross was there to meet Childs when she left the Celebrity Big Brother house last Thursday, the couple have fuelled speculation their rocky romance may be on again as they cuddled up at the TV Choice Awards last night.

pie-eater 207 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 A few million virtual monkeys are close to re-creating the complete works of Shakespeare by randomly mashing keys on virtual typewriters. A running total of how well they are doing shows that the re-creation is 99.990% complete. The first single work to be completed was the poem A Lover's Complaint. Set up by US programmer Jesse Anderson the project co-ordinates the virtual monkeys sitting on Amazon's EC2 cloud computing system via a home PC. Mr Anderson said he started the project as a way to get to know the Hadoop programming tool better and to put Amazon's web services to the test. It is also a practical test of the thought experiment that wonders whether an infinite number of monkeys pounding on an infinite number of typewriters would be able to produce Shakespeare's works by accident. Mr Anderson's virtual monkeys are small computer programs uploaded to Amazon servers. These coded apes regularly pump out random sequences of text. Each sequence is nine characters long and each is checked to see if that string of characters appears anywhere in the works of Shakespeare. If not, it is discarded. If it does match then progress has been made towards re-creating the works of the Bard. To get a sense of the scale of the project, there are about 5.5 trillion different combinations of any nine characters from the English alphabet. Mr Anderson's monkeys are generating random nine-character strings to try to produce all these strings and thereby find those that appear in Shakespeare's works. Mr Anderson kicked off the project on 21 August using Amazon's cloud computers. Each day of virtual monkey keyboard mashing processing cost $19.20 (£12.40). Link to post Share on other sites

nuggles 0 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Poor goths. Gothic rock fans flock to Whitby's historic St Mary's Church in North Yorkshire during Whitby Goth Weekend to be snapped by photographers in the graveyard. The cemetary is the place Dracula takes his victim Lucy Westernra during the night in Bram Stoker's classic novel, overlooked by the imposing abbey. But now photoraphy is being banned around graves at St Mary's Church because they say is disrespectful to the dead who are buried there. Signs have appeared since the last Goth Weekend prohibiting photography on and near gravestones. Anyone on here a goth in days gone by? Link to post Share on other sites
