...sions, one should call GetRNGstate() before and PutRNGstate() after calling R's random variate generation routines. Now suppose my function would generate n(n>1) numbers by a loop, do I need to call these two functions at each iteration? This certainly increases computation burden (although indiscernible in my case). But if I only call them once (outside the loop), will the quality of my random numbers be reduced because of serial correlations in RNG algorithms? I do comparisons between two methods, no significant difference is found. How do you guys write RNG functions? Any other specific reas...

Dear list, I need to plot four almost horizontal lines with y-values around 1,3,4, 400. If I plot them directly, the first three lines will be indiscernible so I am thinking of breaking y-axis into two parts, one with range (0,5), another (395,400). Is there an easy way to do this? I can think of two ways: 1. use two plots and draw axes manually. The plot margins, are however difficult to adjust. 2. use one plot, adjust y-values of the lines and...

Wine is installed in Ubuntu Gutsy. It shows up on desktop when called from terminal. However it is only about 3 inches wide on 17 inch display. Cannot get it to expand. Have tried all display modes on this machine. Does not help. I can see when clicking on a tab, something happens but cannot tell the name of the tab nor what it displays after clicking on it. Does anyone know how to correct

...ted format type 3". When I open it with an audio editor I find it is 44100 / 32 bit. I requantized it to 16 bit using the default dither and then compressed it with FLAC to get a 61 Mbyte file (the original was about 347 Mbyte). Obviously, this altered somewhat the quality, although in an indiscernible way (for me, at least). However, as a last attempt, I used Winrar on the original file and to my surprise it was compacted to 79 Mb, only about 33% more than the FLAC version representing a file with half the data. This is interesting since using non-audio compressors usually one seldom ge...

Hi Suppose one has a db to track bookmarks for multiple users. Let''s assume that there are ten''s of thousands of users, and that an average user may have 100 bookmarks. (Assume here that no two bookmarks are the same.) Is it a common practice to have a bookmark table for ALL users, thereby producing a table that has on order one million rows. Or, is it better to somehow group
