Hi. I frequently convert date and time data to and from character representations. I'm frustrated with chron, because 'seconds' are required to create a time object (my input data never has seconds). More importantly, I cannot make chron print the format 12/30/2006 (which my output data requires). I really like the format flexibility of strftime() and strptime(), but of course

I'm trying to use rsync to copy files from a Microsoft Windows machine (XP, with cygwin) to a macintosh (10.5.8, PPC). After a lot of playing with options, manual page reading, etc, I have the following command, executed on the windows machine: rsync -A -X -a --delete --rsync-path="/opt/local/bin/rsync --fake-super --log-file=/tmp/rlog.txt" /cygdrive/c/DRIVERS "rsync at

I set up a domU as a backup server, but it has very, very poor network performance with external computers. I ran some tests with iperf and found some very weird results. Using iperf, I get these approximate numbers (the left column is the iperf client and the right column is the iperf server): domU --> domU 1.77 Gbits/sec (using 127.0.0.1) domU --> domU 1.85 Gbits/sec (using domU

Hi all, an iBook running Mac OS X 10.2 recently joined my little network, so i did configure it for using a Windows shared printer (HP Officejet G55), naturally through SMB protocol. I used CUPS for setting it up. Now, the problem: if i try to print from the iBook, the printer takes about 10 minutes for throwing out each page and the document seems to be continuously spooled up to windows.

I have an Apple iBook running OS X 10.2 connected to my network via an 802.11b wireless network. When I transfer files via SMB with my Windows 2000 computer, the speed seems reasonable. However, when I connect to a share on my Debian (x86) box (kernel 2.4.19) running Samba 2.2.3a-12 for Debian, the speed is only about a sixth as fast (transferring files to or from the Win2k box is about 6

Hi, I'm away at a conference in Amsterdam. My home is in Cambridge in the UK. On a whim, I tossed an ATA186 and a phone into my bags before leaving home. I was able to plug my ATA186 into a LAN here at the conference and was connected to my home Asterisk in a few seconds. Total time from unzipping my bag to talking to home no more than 15 seconds. OK, so the kit could be more portable,

Dear list, My system administrator at office runs a SMB server for us all to share files at smb://server/share/ , on which we share mainly MS Office/OpenOffice.org documents. I have recently switched to iBook G4 with Panther. After the switching, I can connect to the SMB server using Panther's built in SMB capability (under Finder). But then we discover that when I open a file on

This is way OT, but here goes... I''ve had an iBook for 2 days now and am debugging a web built with prototype/script aculo / windows / etc... I have no real experience on a Mac. Occasionally, there''s no better way to debug JavaScript than an alert in a loop... Once I have the information information I want from the alert, the loop may want to execute another 300 times. I

This is an operating system question, but it is with the intent of using R on that operating system. I have an ibook G4 Power PC that I am going to install linux on. Is there a better, worse, or perhaps easier (I am a linux newby migrating from mac) distribution that I should look at. I appreciate your help. I didn't post this in the sig-mac because I don't know if it fits there better

I apologize in advance for asking a beginner question, but I really could not figure this from the manual page. I want to copy some files with rsync, and not copy others. The stuff that I do not want to copy looks like this: System Volume Information/_restore*/RP* WINDOWS/Prefetch/* Documents and Settings/leila/Local Settings/Application Data/Google/Chrome/Application/*/Installer/chrome.7z

Well, the worm has turned and I think I may actually get an Apple ;P. But I can''t decide which one. Pros and cons: 14" iBook: + modem (for when broadband kicks out, or on the road and there''s no WIFI) + screen is probably big enough (though I currently have a 15" Dell) + doesn''t get as hot as the MacBook + almost half the cost + less likely to get stolen -

I have an ibook G4 (powerpc) running OS X panther. I am using gcc 4.0.3 installed from Darwin Ports to compile llvm. When I try to compile llvm, I get the following error: llvm[1]: Compiling Program.cpp for Debug build Unix/Program.inc: In function 'void llvm::SetMemoryLimits(unsigned int)': Unix/Program.inc:127: error: 'RLIMIT_AS' was not declared in this scope Does anyone

Hey guys I got a ibook g4, I installed darwine, I tried running MSN Messenger 7.0 "it says it works" and it doesn't work I just get an error saying it didn't worry and has closed. I tried utorrent, same deal, then I went to the darwine folder and went into applications and tried clocks.exe and that didn't work either. Help me out? Thanks

I'm trying to use wine on a remote X11 desktop (my Mac iBook), and everything works except for the system fonts. I can see fonts in the system menus (File, Edit, Help, etc), but not anywhere else on the application. For example, when I run winecfg on the remote linux box (running Slax "Kill Bill" edition), I see *no* text whatsoever. When running winemine, I can only see text

Im trying to enable the swat utility so that I can manipulate the smb.conf file. I have done this on my PowerMac G4 computer, and now Im trying to set it up on my iBook - but it gives me the following error, xinetd[pid]: bind failed (address already in use (errno = 48). service = swat xinetd[pid]: {init_services} no services. Exiting... I have no idea what is going on, Im doing

OK, wanted to check out the macosx driver for libao on me new iBook. Everything compiles beautifully (given some utils from the fink project, like automake), but... but the dynamic plugin system is broken. 1) on OS X, dll's en in .dylib, not .so, as is hardwired in. this should be an easy fix. 2) dlopen chokes on opening the .dylib files...so the plugin is never loaded. i know not enought

Dear R gurus, I'm trying to visualize a matrix 256 x 920 using image(), but i find the display too slow (~ 1 minute ?? admittedly, my iBook G4 isn't very fast). The aim is not to get a good resolution image, but rather have a quick look at the matrix. I couldn't find a way to plot a smaller set of points from my data in a sensible manner (basically, i want to decrease the
