Hi Folks: **Off Topic** Those interested in clinical trials may find the following of interest: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/19/health/research/19trial.html It concerns the ethicality of randomizing those with life-threatening disease to relatively ineffective SOC when new "biologically targeted" therapies "appear" to be more effective. While the context may be new, the debate, itself, is not: Tukey wrote (or maybe it was talked -- I can't remember f...

...h Samba 3.0.21rc2 - does anyone know if these issues have been changed in a newer release? I wonder whether it's possible to silently fail here to stop Word from giving a "disk full" error message. Any ideas? Many thanks, Adam.

...on one server with another directpory on another server. What I do is to go to one of the server (server a) as root using ssh, navigate to the directory, and write rsync -avz username@serverb:directory/ ./ But it does not work. Am I doing something wrong?

...because the comparison that rspec mocks make is: expected == actual which, in this case ends up being: mock_of_a_model == association_proxy As it turns out, mocha and flexmock do this the same way, which means that this will fail in any of the three frameworks. So here''s the mock-ethics question of the week: Should the comparison be changed to: actual == expected or actual == expected || expected == actual or ... neither? I have arguments for all three - I''d like to hear your thoughts. Cheers, David

...ers and (perhaps?) desktops as well. I've read at leat one comment like "I have 20 CentOS servers." My employer is a firm believer in RHEL - license costs are just a business decision. I would like to know how those of you who use CentOS in commercial endeavors justify the decsion - ethics, community vs. vendor support, etc., etc. I've heard many comments to the effect that we CentOS users are just leaches, since RedHat does the major work.

...for a few months, and running CentOS at home (in spite of my manager's pushing me to do Ubuntu). This list is *so* much more useful than any of the ones I've seen for Ubuntu, or much else. I'm very much looking forward to C 8. One more thing: I know I've been over the top on ethics "I work for a US federal contractor, but not saying more", even though there's folks like Todd, who's military. Anyway, now that I'm out, today, my line (in person) was, "I'm with the federal goverment, and I'm here to help you." Then, after they ask if I...

...Y *** of porting a function from Splus into R. As a particular example, I referred to error.bar. Several people posted code for various versions of error.bar which they had written, but that was NOT WHAT I WAS ASKING FOR/ABOUT!!! [Can't anybody ***read*** these days?] I asked: IS IT LEGAL/ETHICAL to take a copy of an Splus function (written in raw S), ***such as*** error.bar, and make it into an R function? Is it OK to do this for one's own personal use? What about making such a function available to other R users (who may not have Splus licenses)? Would the big guns from the R com...

OK, so for most of my career, I''ve done everything on an hourly rate. Recently somebody kind of pointed out that if you bill by the milestone you can work on multiple projects simultaneously without any ethical problems, so you get increased efficiency. Does anyone have any good advice/URLs/books on how to do cost estimates on a project? I''ve really always kind of avoided the issue as one of those boring "business" details, but it''s looking as if I should really sort of figur...

Hi Austin, As a Buddhist monk there were many reasons for choosing to go with Linux, mostly ethical. Consequently, there isn't much time to learn, coupled with electricity and internet connectivity limitations, so troubleshooting has been an OJT kinda thing. Unfortunately, what may seem to be a simple request, like "Terminal Output", is kind of another language for me, and I am no...

...t this can be found at http://www.tipitaka.org/ I also tried installing the desktop version (from this site), and had problems launching it (first of two questions in the original post), but turns out there are many editorial errors, so dropped that question. Quickly: for various reasons, mostly ethical but also practical, I am trying to convince my teacher to convert all computers to Linux, but this particular program (CSCD) has to be able to work in order for the argument to be persuasive. Of course, should the monks here switch to Linux, there would be a ripple effect.
