Hi all I am very astonished that R generates a "syntax error" when I want to split up a line with a backslash, which usually works in any shell script. R itself generates the "+" symbols at the beginning of following lines in a splitted line so I've tried with them as well, but also without succe...

I have a question concerning memory. I understood that R takes a fixed amount of memory at startup (which I can influence with --vsize --nsize) and that gc() shows the memory still free of the total memory reserved for R. However, if I create a long vector of character data, gc() only seem to reflect the space needed for a vector of pointers to char, the space used for the character data itself

Had a surprising event on C 6.5. Exim was the only MTA installed. It was partially configured (with ACL, Router, Transport) and definitely not running. I was remotely testing a web page. A web page error condition invoked the embedded PHP mail() command. To my astonishment something in Centos woke-up Exim. Exim sent the email and then became inactive again. The Exim logs does not show any start-up lines, just 1. input from Apache. 2. output to remote server. 3. 'completed'. Hours later Logwatch, not yet customised, also caused inactive Exim to send an...

...ular mbox format a path can lead to either a file or a directory, but not both, while under IMAP, a path is usually both, a message folder containing subfolders. I found dovecot's approach to this problem, the Maildir++ layout described under http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MboxChildFolders , and was astonished to see, what problems come with Maildir++ and how complicated dovecot tries to deal with them. I wonder why dovecot is not using a much easier approach and just uses a configurable prefix and/or suffix like .dir or ____ for directory names, e.g. INBOX -> ~/mail/inbox abc ->...

...arrived to the following example: order(c(2465, 2255, 2085, 1545, 1335, 1210, 920, 210, 210, 505, 1045)) [1] 8 9 10 7 11 6 5 4 3 2 1 and I was completely perplexed! Shouldn't the output vector be 11 10 9 8 7 6 4 1 2 3 5 ? Do I have a damaged version of R? I became still more astonished when I used the sort function and got the right answer: sort(c(2465, 2255, 2085, 1545, 1335, 1210, 920, 210, 210, 505, 1045)) [1] 210 210 505 920 1045 1210 1335 1545 2085 2255 2465 since 'sort' documentation claims to be using 'order' to establish the right order...

Dear all, to my astonishment data.table cannot be installed on R 3.5 Windows. When checking the package page, the Windows binary is available for download. When checking the server however, I can't seem to find data.table. Also install.packages() says the package is only available in source form and may need compilatio...

Dear all, I tried to read in a 3.8Gb RDS file on a computer with 16Gb available memory. To my astonishment, the memory footprint of R rises quickly to over 13Gb and the attempt ends with an error that says "cannot allocate vector of size 5.8Gb". I would expect that 3 times the memory would be enough to read in that file, but apparently I was wrong. I checked the memory.limit() and that on...

Dear All, So far I have mainly used R for data analysis and simple numerics (integration of functions, splines etc...). However, I have recently been astonished at finding out that many things I thought were only achievable with Fortran or C can be done e.g. entirely using MatLab. When I try asking around if the same could be achieved by R, inevitably the answer is that either people do not know R or there is so much numerical MatLab code (for instance f...

...ic folders" (that's nearly 1700 folders). Worse: "please give user Y access to all sales folders" (there are 1450 sales folders). The problem is that there are (naturally) spaces in the folder names, which makes command line manipulation challenging. We've ended up with some astonishingly hacky Python scripts that enter each folder starting with (for example) ".sales" and replacing the dovecot-acl file to try to fulfil the above requests. One day our script are going to get it wrong, or requests will become more complex ("give X access all sales/CustA folders, Y...

...hat 1.2 itself may be ready by September 15th. We are very thankful for the community's help and support, and we want Asterisk 1.2 to be as important a release as 1.0 itself was. The number of new features, performance improvements, bug fixes and interoperability enhancements in CVS HEAD is astonishing, and a very large percentage of them came directly from community contributions. We hope that all of the 'non-developers' in the community will be able to help us 'shake out' the bugs and problems remaining in the code, so we can be assured of the most stable 1.2 release poss...

...d to use replicated stripped volumes with 3.3. unsuccessfully due to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=861423 and I then proceed to try 3.4.0qa5. I then find out that the bug was solved and I could use replicated stripped volume with the new version. Amazingly, write performance was quite astonishing. The problem I'm facing now is in the read process: It's horribly slow. When I open a file to edit using the gluster native client, it takes a few seconds and sometimes I got an error refering to file has been modified while I was editing it. There's a ruby application reading the f...

The last week, after 5 minutes of astonishment for the great compression ratio achieved by ogg (370MB wav of voice -> 14 MB OGG, 28 kbps without any perceivable and/or significant quality loss), I had the idea of use ogg to stream my voice, in order to chat in almost-realtime with a friend (only one, of course: I have a 56k modem)....

Hi, We have a few R scripts, that have a minimalistic GUI Interface using winDialog() calls. Is there any cross-plattform equivalent we can port to, such that the code will run on both Windows and Unix ? I thought about either tcltk or gtk Stuff. I was astonished that I couldn't find anything similar that had been implemented since the 0.99 release, or do I miss something obvius ? Yours, Steffen

Hello everyone, First of all, I apologize for my poor English. I am a beginner with Wine and I am already astonished by the possibilities given by such a software. In fact, I got a VB application that I want to use under my Ubuntu Dapper Distrib. This application is based on the creation of some objects as : - scripting.filesystem - scripting.dictionary - msxml2.serverXMLHTTP - adodb.connection I succeded...

Hello! I'd like to Flash() a modem line (BRI) with Asterisk. It is a passive ISDN-card connected to a hardware PBX. I use ISDN4Linux. I recognised that unfortunately the Flash() application flashes Zap devices only. Now I am wondering how I could flash Modem/ttyI0. The source code chan_modem.c doesn't contain anything about flashing a modem line. So I tried to simply put the AT-command
