I'm a new Asterisk user. I've managed to set it up to do everything I want except sound good. Currently, Asterisk sounds considerably worse than my cell phone. I know VOIP can be _better_ than my cell phone, because I've heard Skype do it. (Using 32k iLBC, I believe.) I did an experiment with audio quality: 1) I made a recording which was pretty good. I used an iSight microphone and recorded at its native 48k sampling rate in Audacity. Then I trimmed it and ran their noi...

I have to say... since it''s bugged me _many_ times, that i *hate* these text boxes with the sliders that are being used to display text (for instance, on Rails documentation pages... but it''s not just Rails). Very often you can''t really read the text because it goes past the right border of the box. So you have to go to the bottom of the box to move the slider to

Dear List, How do I extract the approximate Wald test for the frailty (in the following example 17.89 value)? What about the P-values, other Chisq, DF, se(coef) and se2? How can they be extracted? ######################################################> kfitm1 Call: coxph(formula = Surv(time, status) ~ age + sex + disease + frailty(id, dist = "gauss"), data = kidney)

...clients via MS Kerberos (let alone with pGINA to standard Kerberos 5) - Serve out SAM and other MS schema from its LDAP, the ones that have been documented - Handle SMB signing and other protocol features (even ones that are mega-buggy in MS' own implementations) At this point, Samba 3.0 is a _better_ SMB service for Windows 2000 than Windows Server 2003. Microsoft has attested that it recommends only Windows XP Pro clients for full ADS 2003 support. Ziff-Davis testing has shown this to be true. Samba automagically optimizes for the client that is connecting, with Microsoft giving up on performa...

My application accepts a form to create multiple large(100''s of MB) temporary files and then zip''s them up to send off to a user. I have the files constructed, and the zipping working. The problem is that if I use send_file to send the zip off to the user, I cannot delete the file afterwards as it seems send_file forks off another process and deletes the file before the

...ould have taken a SunFire V40z and compared _directly_. Or at least pit a SunFire V40z running Linux against the same cluster, as the costs are very much near each other. So, in the end, I think this was a _poor_ test overall, because apples and oranges are being compared. The clustered setup has _better_ failover, the shared memory system has _better_ "raw interconnect." And it wasn't fair to use an aged Sun box, a newer, "cost equivalent" SPARC (III/IV?) should have been used -- especially given the costs. It's very likely that someone was just "re-using" the...

...ing. but if you already had to do the formatting in one system, it's not that big a deal to get it converted into another system. you still had to do the work in the first place. i don't wanna do the work. i want the computer to do it for me, and do it just as well -- heck, preferably _better_ -- than i would have done it. back-conversion is the "base-camp" for the next summit, which is to convert unformatted text into nice markdown, such that the output looks beautiful and _validates_ too... and yes, that means we've got some "artificial intelligence" that can...

I have spent much of the day today researching performance tuning with samba. I have tried everything that I can find out about how to make performance faster. I checked disk performance with Bonnie, installed FTP and tested a transfer that way, achieving 6-7 MB / second. about 30 seconds for 150 MB file. I was finally able to achieve those speeds on a file transfer to the server through

I apologise for starting a new thread, but we had a mail problem and I don't have the original message to refer to. Someone mentioned the new "Diamond Graphs" invented at Johns Hopkins. I haven't see the August 2003 issue of The American Statistician yet, but I _have_ read the press release. The press release is a bit of a stunner. I quote: "Who would have thought we

Hi All, I''ve just built an 8 disk zfs storage box, and I''m in the testing phase before I put it into production. I''ve run into some unusual results, and I was hoping the community could offer some suggestions. I''ve bascially made the switch to Solaris on the promises of ZFS alone (yes I''m that excited about it!), so naturally I''m looking
