Excellent thread, and congratulations to all the winners.

This is definately proof that becoming a gold member is more than worth the cost. And that's just because of all the excitement.

Me? I'm just waiting for the Beosystem 7000... 

Congratulations to all who won. I too have decided to roll my luck over for next month's 7000 system.

Thank god June only has 30 days.

Congratulations to all winners!

The price draw is realy a nice extra and like many others here I hope for the white BS7000... but there can be only one lucky winner. We will have to wait.

But I also wouldn't mind winning the BS1 or BS3

Many congratulations to all those who won a prize last night. I wasn't able to make it because of work commitments but it has been a lot of fun this morning looking at the through the thread and seeing all your comments. A good effort from Lee and the team. Looking forward to joining in next months draw.

Hoi Leon,

Gefeliciteerd !

Veel plezier ermee

 

Many congratulations to all winners!

 

For those that didn't win this time, the next Prize Draw is just a few weeks away... 

 

Bronze members and those who have not yet become a BeoWorld member,

perhaps it is a good time to register / upgrade to Gold ! 
 

Yes, I should have updated earlier, because the prize draw just seems fun when I read all the messages in this thread.

(I think I would have won the Beolab 4's  ) 

 

Congratulations to the winners! 

Toubro:

Wow, I wasn't able to get online until now. I just read the whole thread and got very anxious as I read on.
Congratulations to all who won and thank you to Lee/Beoworld for this fantastic opportunity, I'm already looking forward to the next draw :o)

Toubro! Probably not the best place to get your attention, but I love your Avatar, I always had the feeling my A8s were romantic with me, now I can see it!

And to everyone else Congratulations! Keep up the Gold memberships and we'll be doing this kind of thing 12 times a year! Unfortunate for those of us who didn't win but who knows who the randomizing computer fancies at the end of this month!

Big cheer and success for BeoWorld and all the top men.

Just 28 days to go, and counting.

You cannot create real random numbers using a computer!

Computers are deterministic devices. They take in input, process it, and generate output. With no truely random input, a computer can only generate pseudo-random numbers. The random number generator doesn't produce true random numbers. What it does is it generates a very long sequence of numbers that seem to be random, but will repeat itself eventually. The start state is given by the seed value.

Sorry britops, just proved my IT ignorance! Does that mean that the same numbers/members will keep cropping up over time?

Yes, the winners will win again

britops:

Yes, the winners will win again

Oh?!

We are entering into Pure Maths here! As far as we are concerned, the numbers are random.

For those interested - here is the draw!

 

 

If we drew numbered balls from a bag, and put them back - they would eventually come out again!  

Is there any reason why you use real names and not usernames for the winners. I personally would like to see the latter.

I understand. I was online during the draw and would have been interested to see someone I recognise win. Can the usernames be included with the real names on the main website then?

I have to join britops here. I understand why you choose to give the real name when announcing the winner, but wouldn't it be possible to announce the winner using both, real and username, so you are sure not to make a typing error and we know how has won?

It is true that if no truly random changes occur, then a pseudo-random sequence will be predictable. However, it is *not* true to say that it will repeat, although it could, if a really bad algorithm were used.

In this case, a random element is added, as new members will be joining the group, resulting in a random number of members for each draw. Therefore, for each draw, a pseudo-random number in the range 0..1 will be multiplied by a random number (the number of members), resulting in a truly random number.

Well, thank heavens that one's cleared up..

I'm quite happy that the running of the site is soundly based upon "Chaos Theory"

So do we have any comments from any of the winners yet? I've only seen a couple I think.
