similar to: Rspec Caveman questions.

Hello! I''m just a caveman with some caveman questions. I''ve been parsing Rspec for quite a while, and I''m writing my first series of specs. My initial impressions are "Verbose, but understandable. Helpful and intuitive, but so much to digest." I want to congratulate the folks who are dedicating a chunk of their lives to writing this, and ask 2 caveman

Hi there, I have a controller that responds to fbml and html, with html at the top. In all browsers, this works as expected - When I''m hitting the controller from my normal app, I get html. When I hit it inside facebook, I get fbml. However, with Firefox 3 hitting the normal app, I''m getting fbml for some odd reason. Am I crazy? Sudara

I'm more like a caveman when it comes to programming tools. So, with that in mind, is there a way to use readBin in a batch format to read in pieces of a large binary file? Thank you for the consideration of my question. Todd Remund

Corect me if this is not the right place to post this. I have a mdbdriver.jar (to access an MSAccess file) under Linux. I bought the license from http://www.csv-jdbc.com/ guys. The driver work fine when tested with DBVisualizer or another JDBC thing. The problem is that driver needs 3 other more jar files to work. Under R I have tried this and does not work: > library(RJDBC) Loading required

Hello guys I am new to this list and for R too. I am wondering if there is a patch for the SPSS reading code on the foreign package, in order to be able to read long variable names. Right now read.spss() just trunc the names to 8 characters.

For anyone using both and encountering trouble with stylesheets (specifically, the paths being incorrect in production mode)... Removing facebooker solves the issue. But I bet you don''t want to do that, eh? So, simply setting ActionController::Base.asset_host = '''' also works like butter. I''m not 100% clear on why asset_host has anything to do with

This has me scratching my head: a Person has many Things a Person has many Collections a Collection has many Things ...Things in a Collection are ordered ...Things in a Collection can be related to (created by) any User ...a collection has additional attributes, such as a name etc I am confused about habtm in rails (especially when using acts_as_habtm_list) vs. going the :through route.

So in a previous thread about java installs, I became more aware of /usr/sbin/alternatives and the links in /etc/alternatives. In an effort to not get lost in that thread (and mostly because it's a seperate topic and may help others when searching the list) I decided to posit my question directly. Rather than hack like a caveman at my installs of java and other things that fit into the

Hello. I spent an hour or three chasing down a desired effect that mootools implements, namely the simulation of onmouseleave and onmouseenter events. Why? Lets say you have a Menu. A ul element that contains many li elements. If you want to have a function (maybe an effect) fire when the mouse moves outside of the ul, you are out of luck. Observe the mouseout function like so:

I am using pyramid.plot() from the plotrix package. I have something like this ############################################ xy.pop<-dados$masfr xx.pop<-dados$femfr #agelabels<-dados$femlab xycol<-color.gradient(c(0,0,0.5,1),c(0,0,0.5,1),c(1,1,0.5,1),11) xxcol<-color.gradient(c(1,1,0.5,1),c(0.5,0.5,0.5,1),c(0.5,0.5,0.5,1),11) xylab<-dados$maslab xxlab<-dados$femlab

Trying to spec the following but don''t know if I''m using the right matcher. How do I spec? Plz, sugar on tops. Audience.stats - should have a stats of 80 when passed a flux of 10 - should return an error when passed a string (ERROR - 1) 1) TypeError in ''Audience.stats should return an error when passed a string'' String can''t be coerced into Fixnum

Sprinkling my examples with ''lambda'' has always seemed like a bit of a wart to me. I''ve gotten into the habit of adding ''alias :calling :lambda'' to my spec suites. My examples then look like: calling { Foo }.should raise_error calling { Bar }.should_not raise_error Is there a reason that RSpec core has chosen not to make exception expectations more
