Frequently I need to convert a .xls to a .csv (for import into R) and I do this by opening the file in excel and saving it as a csv. I would rather do this using WinXP's context menu (right click the xls, choose "convert to csv") but I don't know of a utility that does this. Any ideas? Thanks, Mark

Hi, we use a samba3.0.0b3 as PDC here. It's running smoothly, but one problem persists. When I'm trying to add new users to a (local) windows group "administrators" and select the DOMAIN instead of the computer name, it waits a few second and then reports in gray: "No objects are available in this location. Select another location." this is in the logs: PANIC:

Semi-OT? I just got a new SanDisk 8GB flash drive, and, as usual, it came with the U3 software (for Windoze) on a "CD" partition and considerably less than 8GB on the disk partition. I put it into my WinXP portable and told U3 to delete itself, but I still can't get at the old U3 part of the drive. I've tried WinXP's format command, disk management and CentOS's fdisk,

I apologize in advance for posting a question not related to R. I need references to papers that use multiple linear regression in an industrial application and also in a biological experiment. This is aimed to biologists/chemists (non-statisticans) so if anyone has written a brilliant paper where the use of multiple regression is important and also understandable to people with little

If I try to rsync OpenOffice-directory (OO as an example, 155 MBytes) to Solaris8-machine/rsync-server it takes 4-5 minutes, about 70 MBytes gets transfered and eventually rsync.exe/winXP "dies"; actually winXP's net doesn't responde anymore and I have to boot whole machine! But when I try to do same between Linux and Solaris everything works fine, transfer speed is about

Dear all.. I moved my samba server to a new linux box (faster, bigger, etc..), and I moved from Mandrake 10.1 to 10.3 (mdk 2006).. I just copy my old configuration file to the new linux box. The new linux's distribution comes with samba 3.0.20... ( In my WinXP's clients I didn't change anything). Of course, it doesn't work.. My clients can't connect to the new samba server...

Hi I think I hit the cifs bug described at http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/WindowsShares and http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1776 As CentOS Wiki said, CentOS 5.0 do have a bug fixed cifs.ko, so I thought it should be in CentOSPlus repository ... so I upgrade my kernel and using 2.6.18-8.1.10.el5.centos.plus. After I use this kernel release, I check the cifs.ko and see the following: $

R Folk: Please forgive what I'm sure is a fairly na?ve question; I hope it's clear. A colleague and I have been doing a really simple one-off survival analysis, but this is an area with which we are not very familiar, we just happen to have gathered some data that needs this type of analysis. We've done quite a bit of reading, but answers escape us, even though the question below

Hi, I have a rectangular matrix and I need to check whether any columns are identical or not. Currently I'm looping over the columns and checking each column with all the others with identical(). However, as experience has shown me, getting rid of loops is a good idea :) Would anybody have any suggestions as to how I could do this job more efficiently. (It would be nice to know which

Hello List, I've searched the internet and I haven't been able to figure this out. I hope someone here can point me in the right direction. I have a MacOSX 10.3 machine and a WinXP machine that are being used to produce large video clips (@1gig). After they are rendered and ready for playback, they are copied to the playout machines using a system that uses watch folders shared out over

I have been running a Samba PDC with Samba version 3.0.0 on Redhat 7.3 for quite some time. My WinXP Pro SP2 system is part of the domain and everything has been working just peachy. And then, of course, I had to tinker with it. I upgraded the linux box to Whitebox Linux 3.0, a derivative of Redhat Enterprise Linux 3.0. It comes with Samba 3.0.7. After installing and updating everything, I

Hi, this is not a R question per se, but since I'm on the lookout for an R solution I thought this was the best place: I would like to calculate the entropy for a variable and the conditional entropy between two variables, H(X|Y) for variables X & Y I have coded the case for the categorical case but I'm having problems understanding how to do it for the continous case. >From

Rejoice! We have found a trick to make 830gm/845g stable at long last. Ever since the switch to GEM and dynamic video memory, those early second generation chipsets have been plagued by instability. The lack of flushing cachelines from the CPU to GMCH was eventually solved by using an undocmented bit, but 830/845 were still hanging under memory pressure. These deaths were all due to garbage
