When visuals gone wrong ...
If you are in biosciences related work many times you have seen a fabulous but meaning-less image in the sci papers, typical error to represent data with wrong visuals perceptions, M. E. J. Newman named "Ridiculograms" (you can see the related video in Youtube). A ridiculogram can be defined as: Visual stunning Scientifically worthless Published in Nature or Science After a group discussion and a no so good seminar about text mining for disease terms, some agree that the last point can not be required, I want to extend this concept to other parts in bioinformatics. Many people are working in the user interaction part, novel technologies have large and heavy output and require some tools to show the results, but many of this tools are redundant (yes, many people want a desktop/web/network interfaces or some programs for Linux/Windows/Mac or versions in Java/C#/Python/Perl) and while the developers think "in the user experience", they forget the concept of the tool: ...
And Mandriva?
ReplyDeleteI don't know, I did not draw the posters. But I imagine a poster with a sexy girl :P
ReplyDeleteI don't think so... :P If is there a OpenSuse poster, the Mandrivas should be under it :P
ReplyDeleteOk, linxe, that's funny but.... I feel this like "shoot-stone-adrazo"...
ReplyDeleteCeyusa: Sure, OpenSuse is sexy too, but better than Mandriva? who knows ...
ReplyDeleteXbit: Do you have any suggestion for Ubuntu?
sexy girl mmm.... with ubuntu guess that is not that easy or I am really dumb :P
ReplyDeleteLD: Don't feel bad, Ceyusa said me time ago: "your first Linux is like your first love, you are in-love until it is not enough."
ReplyDeleteif somebody is going to install linux for the first time, which is the most recommendable? it will be used in bioinformatics issues, (because my brother, I used Mandriva and I loved it, but I know that many people enjoy
ReplyDeleteUbuntu)
Cesar: every linux has a shell, that's the real important part for bioinformatics.
ReplyDeleteInteresting pictures! I like GNU/Linux Ubuntu.
