.... However, "MAY provide" is a bit scary, and it doesn't say WHAT the difference in behaviour is. I must say that "is.na(x) <- ..." is rather repugnant, because it doesn't work. What do I mean? Well, as the designers of SETL who many years ago coined the term "sinister function call" to talk about f(...)<-..., pointed out, if you do f(x) <- y then afterwards you expect f(x) == y to be true. So let's try it: > x <- c(1,NA,3) > is.na(x) <- c(FALSE,FALSE,TRUE) > x [1] 1 NA NA > is.na(x) [1] FALSE T...

...rails. 2) When I pass in the options to the plugin like this how do I get to the options hash while inside of the process method? Note: I also tried to get just the DirHandler example working and I couldn''t get the server to recognize that path either, so there might be something more sinister going on here. Any help appreciated. If I can get this to recognize my handler I''ll almost have it working. Is there a wiki I could do a writeup on as to how to write handlers after I get this finished?

...un <- function(x, oddsratio) {1/(1+1/(oddsratio * (x/(1-x))))} and then used later in curve curve(orfun(x, exp(estimate)), from = 0.001, to = 0.999, add = TRUE) These are the only occurrences of 'x'. Is it just telling me that I have never assigned a value to x? Or is it more sinister than that? As far as I can tell the function does what I intended. Michael Dewey http://www.aghmed.fsnet.co.uk

...ntext were matching. Also, is it possible offhand to block the dialing of certain numbers in the same context? I.e., just as a check, to block faxes to 900 numbers? I believe my Rolm CBX will do this for me, as it's got a pretty extensive list of area codes and exchanges that are known to be sinister in nature pre-loaded (probably needs updating, though...), but I figured that if I could block it in asterisk, to do so. Save the Rolm a wee bit of processing and all (it is old, and probably senile...) That, and I'd like to filter accidental '9911...' dials using this technique (whic...

Perhaps it''s as simple as these conntrack entries get established before shorewall has a chance to get loaded. Or maybe it''s a more sinister race in shorewall''s startup. My gut instinct makes me feel like it''s the former though. I wonder as a matter of routine, if shorewall should flush the entire conntrack table when it loads to prevent this sort of thing.

...s in the spam folder, but not delete it. Am I going to have to create an entry for every single user, or is there a way to do it once, for all .Spam folders? I've read through http://wiki.dovecot.org/ACL and can't quite get this as the last step. Thanks rick Rick Steeves http://www.sinister.net "The journey is the destination"

...In squirrelmail I can create "system" folders that the user can't change or delete, but that's client based. Since I don't see that ability in Outlook, can I somehow configure dovecot so the user can't delete specified folders?

...am_maps add +spam to each mail identified as spam, and thus the mail would go to the spam folder on delivery. The postfix guys say I should be able to do this. can someone point me to how to implement this with dovecot? (as I don't see how to even start). Thx Rick Rick Steeves http://www.sinister.net "The journey is the destination"

I just switched from the default postfix LDA to the dovecot LDA, deliver, and am looking into what new features I have. The wiki references the trash plugin with imap. Can I also enable trash with the lda? Rick Rick Steeves http://www.sinister.net "The journey is the destination"

...dirsize file) to update? Is there any actual quota enforcement, or just reporting? Because if I send mail to an account, even if it currently reporting (via maildirsize or . getquotaroot) that the user is over quota, they still can send and receive email. Thanks!

...ining FALSE as well as TRUE strongly suggests this. But it doesn't work like that. As I've pointed out, is.logical(m) && length(m) == length(x) && done{is.na(x) <- m} => identical(is.na(x), m) is the kind of behaviour that has been associated with well-behaved sinister function calls for several decades, and yet this is not a fact about R. and so perhaps user error is less likely? I see no reason to believe this; the bad behaviour of "is.na<-" surely makes user error *more* likely rather than *less* likely.

...warnings when loading libraries that were built on 2.9.1, but that's ok) -- everything above works with 2.9.0 fine and dandy. I am wondering how could the TZ, which is "America/New_York" become a malformed character ('A'). It seems to be either a RODBC issue or something more sinister under the hood with retrieving the TZ environment variable? Note, this all works in 2.9.1 if the TZ variable is set to GMT. I can live with that for the time being as a workaround. To further aid in debugging, I've attached my sessionInfo output: > sessionInfo() R version 2.9.1 (2009-06-26...

Hi, I was looking for a package that would help with outlier detection for bimodal distributions. I have tried 'outliers' and 'extremevalues' packages, but am not sure if they are ok for bimodal distribution. Any help would be highly appreciated! thanks, [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

This has never happened before in 'debug'; it makes me think that something more sinister may be going on in the bowels of R, but I haven't tracked it down clearly enough to report it.
