icelus Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I'm such a geek. I was making a grocery list, and didn't even realize I'd written an IF THEN statement. Link to comment
CamDawg Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Hehe. My wife is a mathematics professor, and we both program. All sorts of mathematics/programming terms are in our regular vocabulary--we're optimizing trips, maximizing output, results are suboptimal, problems are non-trivial, etc. Link to comment

neriana Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I wrote "if corn tortillas then cilantro" without really realizing what I was doing. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey, I had burritos last night. No cilantro though, for some reason it tastes exactly like soap to me. Anyhow, it may be geeky, but it stills sounds like a pretty good way to organize a shopping list. Link to comment
Garfield Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Oh my God!!! I can imagine a French grocery list: there would be pages of if ~~ then ('cause we French aren't the least complicated, we just need an high average number of ingredients to make something eatable) Do someone think he/she would be able to program a Weidu-oven that would cook by itself? (I surely will need that next year for my Erasmus exchange) Something like: IF ~Apple pie~ THEN BEGIN Dough: STIRR ~Butter Sugar Eggs Flour~ DO SetGlobal("Dough","GLOBAL",1) CreateItem("Dough","Oven",0,0,0) Turn ("Oven","ON",200°) Link to comment
Andyr Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 A few friends of mine have been on Erasmus. Which country are you going to? If the UK, whereabouts? Link to comment
Garfield Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 UK indeed ^^ Scotland to be more precise, Glasgow University to be even more precise Can't wait till September But I fear something like IF ~OutOfFrance~ THEN BEGIN Foodproblem Ok, I do not really believe in that, but I didn't want to be off-topic Link to comment
Andyr Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Hey, I used to live in a village next to Glasgow. Don't worry that the accent there isn't what you're expecting. Link to comment
Garfield Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Well my Commonwealth-history teacher (actually that was last semester, now he teaches us French to English translation) is Scottish so we had a little sample of Scottisch accent, although very understandable (let say that is not the most weird thing about him... Have you ever had a teacher sniffing tobacco while lecturing? I did ) Anyway, I'm really looking forward to it. I've never been to Scotland, and I have a friend to see in Manchester too if I happen to go in England Link to comment
BR³ Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 For some reason this thread made my think of a nice Hungarian gulasch with some spaetzle on the side. I'm hungry now Link to comment
Userunfriendly Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 You guy do realize that i might just make a song from this thread's title, right? Link to comment
Drew Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 But I fear something like IF ~OutOfFrance~ THEN BEGIN Foodproblem As well you should. The suckage of British Cuisine is beyond legendary. Link to comment
