I have posted, at http://wwwmaths.anu.edu.au/~john/r/newsets/ image (.rda) files, and first stabs at .Rd files for various data on deaths in London from 1629 to 1939. (There are of course gaps.) The sources (Guy 1882 & Stocks 1942) are documented in the .Rd files: (1) poxetc: measles, smallpox & total deaths: 1629-1881 [I have deliberately left several inconsistencies that were in Guy's published data.] (2) measles: 1629-1939 [This includes the measles data from (1)] (3) whooping cough; 1740-1881. I had been planning to add these data to the DAAG package. I wonder ho...

It is at least equally unwise to think that you are the only expert and all the people who are supposed to know what they are doing are wrong. That's why we have measles again... I'd rather see some real experts set up usable defaults instead of every person doing an install having to second-guess it. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

...ndustry?s overall level of security. At risk of bringing out some *actual* Internet nutters, the question of minimum password security levels is directly analogous to that of vaccination. When a large population stops vaccinating, we start seeing previously-defeated diseases coming back, like the measles outbreaks in California and rural Australia: http://goo.gl/7caiui http://goo.gl/8lT8Pd Polio was almost completely eradicated, but it?s starting to come back in the middle east after the CIA used a fake vaccination campaign as a pretext to try to get into bin Laden?s Pakistan compound:...

Nothing wrong with letting "an expert" preconfigure the system and then, after installation, the SysAdmin checking to ensure all the setti...

...ates a risk to other people?s machines. In the previous thread on this topic, 6 months ago, I likened reasonable password strength minima to state-mandated vaccination. Previously-defeated diseases have started to reappear as the antivax movement has gained momentum. Polio came back in Pakistan, measles in California, and whooping cough in Australia, all within the last year or two. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccine_controversies So no, your local password quality policy is not purely your own concern.
