Guys, I think many of us on this list would consider ourselves entrepreneurs. I''m willing to bet at least 40% of you are working on ideas for startups...hoping that you just might have the next Flickr, Oddpost, del.icio.us, etc. Me too, for what it''s worth. Rails is good for this, in that it enables you to move quickly (after the learning curve) and it''s

Please help me persuade IT to install R on my computer! All suggestions welcome. Our IT department run scared when you mention software that they have no working experience of. I need to know the pros and cons of having R on corporate desktops. Please no funny stuff, this is quite a serious issue for us. Pros and cons would be good. Thanks. -- View this message in context:

You naturally will not already have Dockerized versions of apps built 10 years ago, and it may not be practical to create them now, but you can start insisting on getting them today so that your future OS changes don?t break things for you again. > Yes,

...ff topic to discuss them. In any case, *ix falls into the noise floor if this is the scale you?re using to gauge the success of Java.

We are planning to replace a quite big domain running W2K with Samba ( at the very least, the DC ). Though i'd love to have the extra security capabilities of W2K ( Kerberos ) as a DC, Samba/NT4 as PDC/BDC with ldapsam will more than suffice for now. The show-stopper right now is this: we need to be able to assign "real" Full Control permissions: a user who has "Full

Reading about systemd, it seems it is not well liked and reminiscent of Microsoft's "put everything into the Windows Registry" (Win 95 onwards). Is there a practical alternative to omnipresent, or invasive, systemd ? -- Regards, Paul. England, EU. Centos, Exim, Apache, Libre Office. Linux is the future. Micro$oft is the past.

Big Iron vs minicomputers, Unix workstations vs the PC, ?real? Unix vs Linux, the PC vs the smartphone? No, I'm saying it pretty much owns the phone/tablet space and the examples of elasticsearch (and other lucene-based stuff), jenkins, etc. show it scales to the other end as well. > Time and time again, the force...

Hi, This is not meant to be critical of R, but is intended as a possible source for improvements to R. SAS needs the competition. I am reasonably knowledgeable about R SAS-(all products including IML) SAS and R run on Windows(all flavors) UNIX(all flavors) Apple OSs Does R run on natively (no emulation)? We have quite a few users on these systems VAX-VMS Z-OS (mainframe) MVS VM/CMS(IBM)

Why isnt the RoR community focusing on robust and scalable mod_perl style of Apache environment, rather then splintering all over the place with lighthttp, mongrel, WEBrick, SCGI, fcgi, etc??? Its frustrating as someone who is trying to migrate to RoR. Its very unlikely I would ever get a contract to work on any webserver except Apache, so it would seem logicaly to focus all our efforts to
