After reading the recent thread [http://www.xiph.org/archives/vorbis/200211/0057.html] on the vorbis list about bitrate peeling, I was wondering if it would be possible for xiph.org to post a specification, outline, flowchart, or a drawing on a napkin of what the basic operations of bit peeling would entail. If there was some sort of starting point, then it may be a little more inviting for another programmer to step up and write something for the people who keep asking about bitrate peeling.

...multinomial distributions, and indeed, I can readily calculate the correct answer for small figures t,k using a small R program. However, in my typical experiment, k ranges from ~20-60 and t from ~40-100, and having to calculate these for about 6e9 experiments, a quick calculation on the back of a napkin shows me that I will not be able to complete these calculations before the expected end of the universe. I already figured out that in this particular case I may use reciprocal probabilities, and if I do this I get an equation with "only" 2^k terms, which would shorten my computations to...

...spandsp vs these niggly little problems, and if you do the math, in my case it's only 3% of fax machines exhibit the corruption problem, so it was worth it to do this workaround and train the office gopher to check the "real" fax machine every couple of days. FWIW, I did a back-of-napkin calculation using spandsp vs our old method of having a bank of fax machines and came up with an astonishing 40,000 sheets of paper saved annually, with a cost of over $10,000 cdn saved annually (this included labor costs to distribute the paper fax + our "click rate" on our fax / copiers...

I have two servers in two different locations. Neither what you would call 100 percent safe from being turned off. Most staff use web based email. This backs onto imap server. I do know I will have to deal with contact lists and other items. in that client. Worst part is the link between them may get broken so both servers may be receiving email and back active at the same time. I can see 1

I''m in the process of setting up puppet and experiencing some issues. I''m running Ubuntu 11.04 desktop and server in two seperate VM''s. I''ve installed puppet master (2.6.4) and puppet (2.6.4). The puppet master and agent are happily working together. I''m running the example in the book Pro Puppet. This is the first example; Code: class sudo {
