Guys... I'm not subscribed to the list, but I've been reading your archives for about a year, watched the progress, the push to Beta 1, and been, frankly, in awe of some of the hard topics all of the extremely intelligent people who have been tackling. (I'm not too up on my fractal compression and using splines to track pixel motion in a stream.) Ok, that said, I was speaking with

Hey all. Just in case someone here doesn't read Slashdot on a daily (OK, hourly, backoff! 8-) ) basis, here's a new interview with Chris Montgomery (I can only assume that it's you, Monty? I thought you were like Sting, or Madona! 8-) ) http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=00/08/14/1034209 Good interview, and more converts to the collective! 8-) OH, and just to update everyone,

For the two or three of you who are subscribed to the mailing list that *haven't* heard already... from the blurb on Slashdot: "Xiph.org has made a beta release of firmware with Ogg Vorbis support for the Neuros portable music player. You can grab the firmware from the Neurosetta site. Note that this beta release only plays Vorbis files, and may skip on very high quality files, like

SUMMARY I'm impressed. RC3 withstood anything I could throw at it. "-q 3" is really Vorbis' sweet spot, almost perfect, and "-q 0" is eminently usable, with only marginal defects for normal usage. Already sent money, will do that again. * * * I spent at least 40 hours in the last week testing RC3. I selected a few fragments from pop, classic and jazz CDs in my

1. Is there some way to copy a promise so that the copy has the same expression in its promise as the original. In the following we y is a promise that we want to copy to z. We want z to be a promise based on the expression x since y is a promise based on the expression x. Thus the answer to the code below is desired to be z=2 but its 1, 1 and y in the next three examples so they are not the

Hi, curently running centos4.4 with a board having promise sata controller. If I try to update to centos-5, the installer hangs up. No problems under centos-4.4. Does somebody know a workaround for this problem? In the mailing list archives I found a similar report, but no solution.

When an attribute is a delayed expression sometimes it is not forced when it is extracted. > x <- list() > attr(x, "p") <- delay(1) > x list() attr(,"p") <promise: 0x11e4bb8> > val <- attr(x, "p") > val [1] 1 > attr(x, "p") <promise: 0x11e4bb8> I am not quite sure whether the above is a bug or not but I think

Hello friends, I'm having a problem with my home server (ASUS A7V133 motherboard) which has a horrible performance with ATA disks connected to an integrated promise controller. Below you can see iozone results of the same disk connected to the primary/ secondary controller versus the promise one. Promise ATA100 controller: ========================= Version 1.02a ------Sequential

R-devel, I used the 'substitute' function to create labels for objects inside an environment, without actually evaluating the objects, as the objects might be promises. However, I was surprised to see that 'substitute' returns the expression slot of the original promise even after the promise has been forcibly evaluated. (Doesn't the promise go away after evaluation?) This

Hi all, It seems that there is a use case for obtaining the environment for the "top" promise. By "top", I mean following the promise chain up the call stack until hitting a non-promise. S4 data containers often mimic the API of base R data structures. This means writing S4 methods for functions that quote their arguments, like with() and subset(). The methods package

Hi all, The help for delayedAssign suggests that you can use substitute to access the expression associated with a promise, and the help for substitute says: "If it is a promise object, i.e., a formal argument to a function or explicitly created using ?delayedAssign()?, the expression slot of the promise replaces the symbol. But this doesn't seem to work: > a <- 1 > b <- 2

Hi, The problem arises when I lazyLoad() the .Random.seed from a previously saved database. To simplify the process of reproducing the problem, see the example below: ## this assignment may not really make sense, but illustrates the problem delayedAssign('.Random.seed', 1L) typeof(.Random.seed) # [1] "integer" rnorm(1) # Error in rnorm(1) : # .Random.seed is not an integer
