Problems running programs compiled unter Centos 5 on Centos 4 machines
I know this is quite a handwaving, stupid question, but I don't know where else to ask it and maybe somebody here can at least point me into the right direction, because I'm stuck. I have a program package that were using here (OpenFOAM for those who know it). My problem is that when I compile and link this package on C...

v3.0.0, AD, 2k3 mumbles
...t;arcfour-hmac-md5" choice applies already in AD2000 -- so howcome it works? (A) The 2k AD supports other types as well and makes peace with MIT krb5 whereas 2k3 AD has been lambasted out of such fraternizing habits, (B) The 2k3 AD would support other types after the proper Magic Handwaving, i. e., tweaking of some well chosen registry keys. Does anybody know to enlighten us on this? It seems heimdal-0.6 and MIT 1.3.1 do support arcfour-hmac-md5; tomorrow I will journey up the Repent, Recompile, Restart mountain and then hopefully be one Microsoft wiser. Magnus

...TST) makes > > the network unusable. > > > No, I haven't had the pleasure recently, so I'm not aware of what you're talking about. You said there is no downside. I've demonstrated a situation people can face right now where it can make a website unusable. Don't handwave away the cost of forcing HTTPS, it adds overhead for all involved parties. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for properly supporting HTTPS everywhere, but it is not without downsides. Joerg

mbox and dual-use folders?
...e request: please can we have support for messages stored in mbox files, but folders containing both messages and folders. I think this could be done for a folder called e.g. dovecot-list by having an mbox file called dovecot-list and a directory called dovecot-list.folder (or whatever, says he handwaving away name clashes which can be worked around like they are in maildirs). This may be a subset or variant of http://wiki.dovecot.org/FeatMboxMaildir Cheers, John.

Re: undocumented bugs - nfsd
...t.support.p30ple.with.sp311ing.pr0blemz? FWIW, the source distribution of unfsd contains a file called BUGS which even the attention span challenged have a hard time overlooking. This file contains fairly detailed instructions on how to submit a bug report. Concerning the problem Mariusz has been handwaving about, this is a serious issue. It's got nothing to do with realpath(), however. The true cause of the problem is that the code relies on the total length of a path to not exceed PATH_MAX + NAME_MAX. I'm not sure whether this is a common Unix problem, but at least on Linux, PATH_MAX mere...

newton.method
Hi, Is this method broken in R? I am using it to find roots of the following function: f(x) = 2.5*exp(-0.5*(2*0.045 - x)) + 2.5*exp(-0.045) + 2.5*exp(-1.5*x) - 100 It is giving an answer of -38.4762403 which is not even close (f(x) = 2.903809e+25 for x=-38.4762403). The answer should be around 0.01-0.1. This function should converge.. Even for a simple function like f(x) = exp(-x) * x, it gives

locator() in a multiple plot setting
Hi based on some code from Thomas Petzoldt, I have a question: --- opar <- par(mfrow = c(2,4)) slices <- 8 m <- matrix(runif(100),10,10) my.list <- list() for (slice in 1:slices) { my.list[[slice]] <- m } for (slice in 1:slices) { x <- 1*(1:25) y <- 1*(1:25) z <- my.list[[slice]] image(list(x = 0:9, y = 0:9, z = z)) } par(opar) #restore device

About the statistics for ratio comparison
Hi I have a table with four columns and 3 rows. I calculated the average for each columns as average (A), average (B), average (C) and average (D), then calculate the relative ratio as average (A)/average (B), and average (C)/average (D). I would like to know how can I calculate the significance between the two ratios. Thanks, Meng [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

...ciFi changed to SyFy; bored marketing > people trying to 'add value'. > The main reason for the switch to LO from OO is Oracle Corporation's buyout of Sun. Shortly after that event the principal developers of OO left that project and forked LibreOffice. Oracle went through some handwaving exercise about being committed to open source but development of OO stalled, either by design or neglect. Evential Oracle turned OO over to Apache.org but by then a large portion of the OO audience had already switched to LO and never looked back. OO has had its first release since being adopt...

[PATCH v5 3/8] qspinlock, x86: Add x86 specific optimization for 2 contending tasks
...gt; > At low contention the cmpxchg won't have to be retried (much) so using > it won't be a problem and you get to have arbitrary atomic ops. Peter, the difference between an atomic op and *no* atomic op is huge. And Waiman posted numbers for the optimization. Why do you argue with handwaving and against numbers?

approximate net rpc vampire HOWTO, as promised
...that I've changed the SID (or something).

So if anyone can give me a pointer or two on this I'd appreciate it. Cheers, Waider. -- waider@waider.ie / Yes, it /is/ very personal of me. Derrick says, "Well, there are altar girls there.

...rs will end up using virtio devices via IOMMU by accident? If the answers are both "yes", then x86 is going to be able to use virtio+IOMMU, so PPC looks like the odd one out. Otherwise it looks like we're really going to want to stick with the "ignore IOMMU" rule until (handwave future), and we make an exception for Xen. Cheers, Rusty.

sftp performance problem, cured by TCP_NODELAY
In certain situations sftp download speed can be much less than that of scp. After many days of trying to find the cause finally I found it to be the tcp nagle algorithm, which if turned off with TCP_NODELAY eliminates the problem. Now I see it being discussed back in 2002, but it still unresolved in openssh-4.2 :( Simple solution would be to add a NoDelay option to ssh which sftp would set.
