Apologies for the naieveness of this question, but I'm having trouble figuring out to have factor() maintain original ordering. For example, foo <- c("b","b","a","a") levels(factor(foo, ordered=T)) #I'd like this to return as "b" "a"...

Dear R-help, Please forgive me if any of the following sounds naieve/confused, i've just got back from a mini-pub-crawl, slightly tipsy, and am feeling brave to ask a possibly silly question... also, not to shiny on the technical side of things. Problem - I need to text mine a collection of 10,000 plain text documents, all of which are sitting in a single folder. i don't have any money

Hi all, I have a very large music collection that I keep on a portable hard drive (to plug in to car USB, carry with when I'm at my office, etc). All but a few dozen files are part of an album, and not a single audio file. This translates to an insane amount of files stored on my hard drive. I am very strict about how I label and file my media (I loathe unlabeled audio tracks), but

Hello, This is probably a naieve question. Why does R store everything in double-precision format? For many circumstances (e.g., dealing with huge binary files) it seems like a waste of memory. Is there any thought of allowing the user to decide the format when assigning an object (e.g., as an option in the assign() function)? J Jackson

Greetings. I'm a newbie Samba user; I spent the entire weekend reading the HOWTO's and various other tutorials and docs from around the web. So if this is a naieve question, please don't hesitate the tell me to go back and RTFM some more. :-) I downloaded and compiled 3.0.0rc4 from source on a Mandrake 9.1 system (with all MDK updates installed) with the following configure line:

I've been reading through the source, and I can't understand where compression is occuring! It appears that it should be ouputing all of the LSP and residule data, but the output is smaller then the input (it's about 500Kb/s+, but it bzip2's to about 320Kb/s). The output sounds okay, but has signifantly worse S/N then mp3 at 320. --- >8 ---- List archives:

Installing through PXE, interactively from an NFS source. The installer is in text mode even though I have 512MB of memory. Two questions. 1. When installing package sets, I do not see an "Everything" option the way there was in 4.x. Should there be? I also don't recall being asked if I wanted Server/Workstation/Custom groupings. 2. When partitioning the disk, if I

.m3u and .pls playlist files are pretty common and most major media players support them, maybe even embedded ones like the one in your car. David's right, the best thing is to make a database of your stuff (iTunes was good, the last time I had a mac), but then that won't work in your car or anything. For a long time I've wanted to make a web-based music database that does the tables

Hi, I'm testing out ceph_vms vs a cephfs mount with a cifs export. I currently have 3 active ceph mds servers to maximise throughput and when I have configured a cephfs mount with a cifs export, I'm getting a reasonable benchmark results. However, when I tried some benchmarking with the ceph_vms module, I only got a 3rd of the comparable write throughput. I'm just wondering if

Greetings. In looking through the mail archives, I don't see any mention of parallelism of the vorbis code (particularly the encoder). I was wondering if anyone was looking into this at all? Either with threads, and/or on some kind of parallel machine (e.g., a Beowulf cluster)? I see very little mention of threads in the source code, which leads me to believe that they are only there for

Hi there In the past, i have used lame to encode high quality mp3-files (vbr 1, bitrate ~ 192kbit). I tend to switch to ogg with Quality 4 or 5, but i noticed, that many ogg-files tend to produce too much high frequencies response. In many cases, this is very noticeable. For my opinion, i cannot accept this worse frequence reponse. I have used latest version of ogg (OggEnc v1.0, precompiled
