Hi all, Earlier today I posted this question on s-news, so apologies to some for the duplication. > Please put aside your snobbery about Microsoft products for a moment. > > I am fitting population models to annual survey data for trout. For those of you familiar with ecological models, I am working in the Lefkovitch matrix framework; for those unfamiliar with that shorthand, the modeled variable is a vector of abundanc...

...ecade it has become hugely easier and quicker for you to contact others on a much bigger scale than photocopied letters or even fax machines ever let us dream of. And you resent the fact that hundreds of thousands of nobodies now find it correspondingly easier to contact you? This is worse than snobbery; this is "access greed": wanting to have access to others for yourself but for them not to have access to you. This is the dirty secret of the anti-spammers. You want free speech for yourselves, and perhaps for others sometimes -- as long as you don't have to listen too often....

...d is somewhat simple, its just one of those multiple choice style polls you can create on various web forums. The poll was prompted by the ongoing claim from fly spargers that "their" method is more efficient, but I had never seen data to support that. I thought maybe it was a bit of snobbery. Maybe they are right. However if I conveniently ignore that annoying bump on the left of the batch sparge histogram then the two groups start to look very similar. I was going to go out on a limb and say I learn heaps from reading the posts here so please don't ruin my delusion too much...

I have a share I can't seem to create files on, and I can't figure out why. I get "Access denied" from Windows, and the samba log shows this: [2004/07/13 10:52:26, 2] smbd/open.c:open_directory(1293) open_directory: failing create on read-only share [2004/07/13 10:52:26, 2] smbd/open.c:open_directory(1293) open_directory: failing create on read-only share The share has the

I'm trying to figure this out with "Writing R Extensions" but there's not a lot of detail on this issue. I want to write a (very simple really) C external that will be able to take "..." as an argument. (It's for optimizing a function that may have several parameters besides the ones being optimized.) I got the "showArgs" code (from R-exts) to compile and

...re excluded from each other by clothes, appearance, and location. The Internet does not like exclusivity, and that goes for the cliques that surround underground music scenes. Anyone can get into the party, as long as it's being held online. There will still be old- fashioned record store clerk snobbery about who knows or doesn't know about which seminal band, but the sheer quantity of knowledge available at sites such as UBL.com and AllMusic.com make it much easier for newbies to get in the know and up to speed. Exclusion is out, and everything else is in; the sooner people let go of the ide...

Ok... I am reluctant to ask this question as I believe that it may be like asking what someones favorite linux distribution is... but I need to make an informed decision. We are getting ready to upgrade from a TE210P to a quad T1 card with echo cancellation. I am trying to decide between the Sangoma card and the Digium card. I need this to have great quality and I need it to work well. I would
