Forgive me, but since it's Friday and I've been thinking about command line options lately, I thought I'd find out who came up with the name of the --vanilla argument for R.

(and its not a car dealer) Your metaphor is extremely strained, and completely unnecessary. It doesn't relate to the reality of certificates in any way. Without using a metaphor, please explain exactly who you think will not trust these certs, because I have never met these people.

hi how about having more cubes to fly around in 3d space. though at first thought this might appear unessacary as who needs so many desktops? So i thought, why not have special cubes (as well as the original cube of course) and these special cubes, instead of cubes, be 3d metaphric objects for specific tasks such as a radio, or ipod or whatever for music a cinema for movies arcade thingo for

There is a solution to use helpers from controllers ? I have an error : |undefined method `content_tag''| class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base def test return content_tag("a","test") end end

The tool metaphor is realistic. In my experience (which dates back to the 1980s), email ist a powerful tool, and people need to learn how to use it properly, with the appropriate software set. Especially in the area of technical mailing lists I see no reason to cater to dumb MUA software. > Email should be intit...

...he longwinded message, but I felt that I should try to explain myself as clearly as possibly with something that looks on the surface to be a blatant breach of MVC. In case I haven''t been clear, or maybe just because it''s in my head and it''s late, here''s a metaphor I came up with: Imagine paratroopers getting ready to jump out of a plane. As they file towards the front of the plane, the officer hands them a parachute, which they then put on and jump out. On the way down they pull their own cord and parachute to safety. This is what I am trying to do,...

...ly as printers can share files) with the same name before an install form the client. - Use a CUPS 2K only driver (which does not seem to be available as it is not usually needed or wanted) - Remove the old driver before installing the new printer. This however, totally ruins the click to install metaphor that Samba and CUPS provide. Does anyone have any suggestions or comments? James.

Dear R-community, I'm currently trying to assemble a forest plot using the "forest" function from package "metaphor". Works well. Even the regular "main"-argument works for adding a title to the graph. However, I would like to add one top row which explains the nature of the columns. Very much like the usual header in spreadsheet programs. For example: "Study" "Sample&quot...

...d a real power failure 2 days ago and tried to be more observant. What had gotten my attention earlier is that the once-familiar banner displayed on about everything except my room's ceiling was missing. After some red herrings and blind alleys (hey, you don't have to worry about mixed metaphors when you're an illiterate old coot!) I decided that the missing banners and the fact that the power was killed while a graphical page was displayed was what I saw. Anyhow, it seems that these extinct banners were a function of the /bin/shutdown routine in SysVinit because banners happen in...

While using DTrace to track down a problem recently, we came across an unexpected restriction: the compiler will not permit different speculations to be committed in the same instance of a probe identifier. For instance, consider the following useless D script: #!/usr/sbin/dtrace -s #pragma D option nspec=2 BEGIN { spec1 = speculation(); spec2 = speculation(); } END {

When I spent 4 months in Paris a few years ago, a friend invited my wife and me to lunch with her elderly father who lives in Rouen, Norm...

Hello, I'm hoping someone with a wide experience with R may be able to see what the program is trying to tell me. I've got an array: y1=rnorm(41,0.2) y2=rnorm(41,0.2) y3=rbind(y1,y2) data11<-array(0,c(41,2,2)) data11[,1,]=y3 data11[,2,]=y3 rownames(data11)<-rownames(data11, do.NULL = FALSE, prefix = "Obs.") colnames=c("V","R")

First of all, just wanted to say big thanks for all the great work on wxruby2 .. I''ve been a user of 0.6 for a long time and its proved very useful over the years. It''s great to finally have a multi-platform, gem installable ui toolkit that doesn''t suck! Secondly, thanks also for wx-sugar. I was drowning in sizers and started to write my own layout library ... but

Dear R community, I am a beginner using the sciplot package to graph barplots. I would like to be able to graph two x factors (Sampling.year and Period). Sampling.year: 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 Period: First, Second, Total The parameter "group" is the different species I looked at. They can be seen in the legend. The parameter "response" is the Average percentage

It''s possible to implement, it''s easy to implement, and IMHO it doesn''t break the AR metaphor. If you like the idea and want to send feedback, please CC me. I''m not subscribed to the list.
