Off-Topic: Crime Statistics Don't Pay
WARNING: COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC -- Nothing to do with R. I thought readers of this list might enjoy the following. The link to the full article is at the bottom. I hope this is not "too" inappropriate. ------- Overconfidence in crime statistics doesn?t pay.

Finally, perhaps somebody has already done just this and would care to share his/her experience in how (s)he approached this problem. I feel reasonably confident (some would say overconfident) in my ability to extract the data from the Excel workbook and compare it with the data in my database. I''m just not sure where would be a reasonable place to put that sort of logic. --wpd --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are...

SELinux threads, cynicism, one-upmanship, etc.
After reading through the various SELinux threads, I really became quite perturbed. I mean, really quite perturbed. As an IT Director (and the entire IT department, currently), if I were hiring a sysadmin I know for a fact that someone whose first response to a question on why something doesn't work is 'turn it off' would not get a job here. Neither would a sysadmin with as much
