Generally speaking they/do/ cluster this way. Of course, you can make room for as few or as many clusters as you want-- if it was two, it'd be african/everything else.
People can be as different as you want them to be, and cluster in whatever way you want, as long as you're selective about what genetic or environmental markers you pick. Given any three people, there will be some marker that is the same in two of those people and different in the other person, just due to the sheer number of genetic and environmental features that exist.
This extends to populations, where being excessively selective about which features are picked to distinguish populations can lead to overfitting and false positive associations (i.e. what appears to be true for a subset of populations is not true for the total population). I can pick a set of genetic features that makes europeans appear to be more diverse than africans, even though that does not reflect what we expect from knowledge of the history of populations.

sorry I am ignorant of matlab, but how do you code the loop y(i) = sin(pi*i/10.)?
Not completely sure if you mean the operator precedence you have there, but here's the R code for two interpretations (which should be the same as the Matlab/Octave code for this):
y = sin(pi * ((1:10)/10)) y = sin((pi * (1:10))/10)
Just looking at other replies, you might need to replace '*' with '.*' for octave/matlab.
We got Java in first year, MIPS and C++ in second year, then Haskell and Prolog in third year for my undergraduate computer science courses. That was a good spread, but I'm somewhat disappointed that we weren't given more time on the functional languages.
When I try to figure something out it is way more reasonable to write a program in three-four hours and have it run overnight than to write it in two days and have it run in (say) thirty minutes.
I've rewritten my R code in Java a couple of times. The first time, it was a program that took about an hour to finish (or ~20 hours for the whole genome), but ended up being used many times. I only rewrote it after the ~4th time I needed to use the program. The rewritten code took about 2 minutes (similar to the length of time it took R to just read in the input file).
The second time, my supervisor wanted something done in under a week, and I calculated that it would take about a week and a half with the R code. Rewriting (in Java) something that took around 6 hours to complete took me about 4 hours, and I managed to speed it up to about 25 seconds completion time. That demonstrated to me the extreme slowness of R's handling of character arrays.
However, I usually just leave R to its own devices, because coding in R for what I do is a quick process, and needs very little debugging. The amount of time spent writing in a lower level language is just not worth it for the numerous one-off projects that I do.
Or Mechwarrior style (character inside robot), or OMF 2097 style (robot remotely controlled by character). Repair costs for those things can be pretty high, even for just getting a few scratches in the battle.
There aren't entire books that are PUBLISHED using Word and other, non-professional typesetting tools.
Actually, yes there are. My mum wrote one up, a compilation of letters from one of her great aunts. It even has an ISBN number (ISBN 9780473126438). It was self-published, but definitely done in Word (and documents2go on the Palm, just in case that matters).
Then again, I don't seem to have a good track record with Acer support either (bulk orders of replacement parts taking >1 month, "courier" pick-ups taking >3 weeks).
Sometimes I'll happen upon a piece of code, think to myself 'what was this idiot thinking' and then discovering it's my own code:P
Sometimes I go back to my old code, think to myself, "that's odd, how does that work?", get sidetracked on other things for a few hours, then think, "Hey, that's pretty neat. I might use that for what I'm doing now."
Have a look at spamgourmet.com. That page explains it better than I can, but I'll try to give a quick summary.
In 'simple' mode, you have a username at spamgourmet which is assigned to a particular external address. Each time you sign up for a new thing, you create a custom address which indicates how many emails you wish to receive, e.g. keyword.7.user@spamgourmet.com. You will never see any more email sent to that address beyond that limit (an advanced customisation is available to reset the counter).
"Quorum Sensing"... I remember that phrase. It sounds strangely like something we considered putting into our signal transduction paper back in 2004 (published 2006). It was Lisa, not I, who did the reading on quorum sensing, so I can't claim to be well-read in the subject.
In the line of Shakespeare, here's a little fabricated sentence I just coughed up, with the help of a script I wrote:
The Repanal's thiout lived in Reluggia, a very reonancid place with plenty of neute senables that wore large undatinks. The tounthude of Reluggia, luckily, spoke Iingic, telling the thiout that jenigircer left her fers in Resepro. It was an inverish statement, but a bit afty and plumboob, so the thiout believed the tounthude.
Schose, the reshil, was rubbling near the paybacinnion, playing with the harnemy and the canths, who looked very sompery.

You are supposed to moderate on the insight, thought, or humor in the comment, rather than whether or not you agree with the comment.
Newsflash! Supermarket requires customers to pay for electricity that the supermarket uses!
Next you'll be telling me that shop assistant's wages are paid by a small portion of the money that we hand over at the till.
How about a game where you get to go around the streets of Britain shooting video cameras and avoiding the thought police?
(Hey, Slashcode, why won't you format <i> or <em> inside <blockquote>?)
Because you should be using <quote> instead, which does support that formatting.

I've used snow a few times. Seems to work quite well for the stuff I'm doing, especially when I'm working on a computer with MPI.
Hmm, reminds me a bit of R, the plotting part of it, at least. There are a few examples of the kind of plotting you can achieve in R here.
It was published "as is", no additional typesetting was carried out.

Seriously, am I the only one who could care less about the DN franchise?
I could care less about the franchise. It looks like you couldn't.
I still have memories of fun network games against friends on the football level.
I'd rather not go through the hassle of Lenovo technical support again.

If you want to have a read of something a bit more meaty, try this thesis (title: VIDEO GAME VALUES:
PLAY AS HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION):
http://www.pippinbarr.com/academic/phd.php
Not quite the same subject, but it does deal with narrative a tiny bit (e.g. section 5.3.3).
p.s. this guy managed to score an Xbox and PS2 for "research purposes", which were (and probably still are) enjoyed by many in the graduate lab.

Are you, perchance, describing yourself?
Q: Why did the bridge end up in police custody?
A: It was charged with a salt
Q: Why did the wire end up in jail?
A: It was connected with a battery
Q: How do you know the potassium did something wrong?
A: They were inside a cell
