Full_Name: Stephen Harker Version: 1.80 OS: linux (Yellow Dog 3.0 on ppc) Submission from: (NULL) (130.194.13.101) In creating a postscript file from a set of data in which the points are plotted using `points()' and lines drawn using `lines()' I have found since upgrading from R version 1.4? to 1.8 that the two sets do not coinicide completely. This is best illustrated by a simple

I am working on a project that requires me to do very large factorial evaluations. On R the built in factorial function and the one I created both are not able to do factorials over 170. The first gives an error and mine return Inf. Is there a way to have R do these larger calculations (the calculator in accessories can do 10000 factorial and Maple can do even larger) -- View this message in

...urther what "less dynamic range" exactly means? Can this difference actually be heard and if yes, in what audio quality sources? I have just discovered FLAC and I'm not an audio professional, but I wanted to know what the "real" difference between 32 bit float and 24 bit int precission is when comparing audio quality. And I'm also guessing for reasons why WavPack actually uses 32 bit floats. Is it true then that FLAC is not completely lossless if you look at the encoder when using 24 bit int's vs. using 32 bit float's? Does this storage thing influences the audio qual...

You cannot hear 32-bit audio because there is no such thing as a 32- bit digital-to-analog converter. And there is absolutely no floating- point D/A of any bit-depth. So you cannot compare the audio quality of 32-bit to anything. All digital audio mus...

Hello FLAC list. As far as I know 24 bit FLAC support is broken. It often doesn't compress the audio at all, but instead stores the chunks as verbatim type (although the FLAC format supports 24 bit). Perhaps this is fixed? If so, do let me know. I agree that perhaps 32 bit float/pcm isn't entirely necessary when it comes to storing different qualities. But when wanting to preserve
