OT: Is randomization for targeted cancer therapies ethical?
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

Mode 0x1b4 errors in logs, unable to save Word documents
Hi all,
Our users have started to complain that some of the time they're unable
to save Word documents to our Samba drive - Word tells them the disk
is full. I had a look at the logs, and there are a lot of weird
"Function not implemented" errors. These have been there for a while,
but the "Operation not permitted" ones seem new. Nothing on the server
has changed.

Help with sincronizing two directories on remote servers
...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?
Thanks in advance

mock framework ethics question
Hi James, Jim, and everyone else who''s listening.
I''ve been investigating an interesting bug related to mocks and rails
AssociationProxies. See

for details.
The crux is that if you do this (rspec mock syntax):

CentOS for commercial use
I'm a home user of CentOS (a desktop and a laptop) because I like the
quality of the product and I love the cost. I'm a great believer in
FOSS.
That being said, I know that some of you use CentOS for production
servers 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

It looks like that's a pirated book, so it's probably not terribly
ethical (nor safe) to use that PDF.

Hi, folks,
Well, it's ten years that I've been on this list, right when I started

So, though I'll be part time for a few months, and running CentOS at

Legality of copying from Splus.
...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 commu...

OT -- billing and estimating, good resources?
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

What kind of Ogg Vorbis-services you would like to have?

I'm a student at Helsinki School of Economics and Business Administration,

Graphics and LaTeX documents with the same font
Dear All,
I know how to export graphics as pdf files and then how to include
them in LaTeX documents. However, I do not know how to do in order to
have the text of the graphics written with the font selected for the

Re: Chattha Sangayana - bit of a challenge
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 not...

Re: Chattha Sangayana - bit of a challenge
...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.
