Bus factor of dovecot / GIT
Hi, somebody from the kolab groupware project recently explained me that the Bus- Factor[1] of around 1 would be one of their primary reasons not to use Dovecot and stick with Cyrus. What do you think about that? Is the bus factor much higher then 1?

Textmate Madness
...he Mac run fine on Windows. This seems to be a tab character/encoding/carriage return issue. I''ve seen similar symptoms talked about elsewhere but no clear resolution. Basically I am regretting spending 39 Euros on a text editor that seems to make my Rails project Mac only (an interesting polemic but frustrating for practical real life scenarios where Windows is a necessary evil...) Anyone got any ideas on how to easily resolve this problem? Sean -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Fish and 'must read' statistics books. My last word, promise!
...ish than some of my native speaker colleagues. Of course R A Fisher is a seminal writer, indeed close to the founder of modern statistics and every aspiring statistician should read what he had to say _very_ carefully, but don't expect an easy ride. He had a deceptively simple style, but very polemical and rather authoritative in a way that often wrankles with modern readers. At first reading you may think you have grasped the meaning but, (if you are anything like me), at the next reading you will start to realise that the message is deeper, more subtle and more intriguing than you thought po...

This was a private mail and not supposed to go to the compiz list. Please don't don't read it unless you're on the compiz admin list. :) I've apologized to Jeff, Mike, Rico and Arturo for making this mistake and I'd like to apologize to anyone else who might have been offended by it.

My regression has 10 independent variables, and I therefore expect 11 coefficients. After each regression, I wish to save the
