Hi, a very basic question: What ist the easiest way in R to concatenate two lists of vectors? E.g, I have x<-list(c(1,2)) y<-list(c(3,4)) and I want to receive list(c(1,2),c(3,4)) thank you!

Hi all, -------- beacause I am a newbie in the asterisk ralm and the existing documentation could not satisfy I'd like to ask you some Questions: 1. Does somewhere in the Internet exist additional documentations for asterisk configuration ? 2. Does Asterisk work as a standard SIP Proxy ? 3. I am just installing a Asterisk PBX in our institute and additionally I purchased some ot the Snom

Red alert people. When ogg starts to make money for someone (whoever if anyone at all,) then the boys in the legal team at Fraunhofer will throw something at it in the form of "hey, you are stepping on our IP" and then sue. Until then, what is the point. So.... Until then, this argument is pointless. Lithium On Sat, 09 June 2001, Sean /The RIMBoy/ wrote: > > On Sat, 9 Jun

Looks like the mpeg gestapo are frantically at work cracking down on mpeg projects. Several important projects (tsunami mpeg, gogo, faac, etc) were shut down by the jack booted patent nazis. Since FhG, mpegla, etc plan to start charging royalties on everything even remotely mpeg-related very soon, I expect a lot of interest is going to shift to Vorbis. And soon thereafter, I expect FhG to attack

The rates are in arbitration, and I doubt they will come out anywhere near that amount. It just isn't feasible, even for large companies. Reember, tradidional

Hi everyone. Reading all this posts about patent issues, I thought of something: if, by some wild chance FhG (or some other audio company) manages to prove in court that vorbis is breaking their patent rights, you could do something like LAME developers did: release only source code and let people do the compiling so that only users that are living in countries where patents on algorithms are

We spent a little time here taking a look at the Vorbis licensing scheme and ran into some possible issues. In particular, the Vorbis FAQ page here says that the LGPL license applies to Vorbis libraries and GPL applies to source code (at least that's what I gather). http://www.vorbis.com/faq.html#flic http://www.fsf.org/copyleft/lesser.html Reading the text of these Gnu

Hi everyone, you can find the current version of my enhanced tinc using subversion: svn://tardyon.mon-clan.de/tinc I allowed anonymous read access, so feel free to download the sources. Unfortunately, my enhancements are based on a rather old git-checkout from Guus. The version should run under windows and Debian/Ubuntu.

There's three considerations. 1. This project has around fifty broadcasters. It has been running for 3.5 years, and whilst some have moved to using plugins like SAM which (presumably) does

Hi, I've the following problem. samba 2.0.3 runs on a sun. The security is server. The PDC is a NT-machine.

Hi, I am about to write functions for multivariate kernel densitiy estimation with mixed categorical and continuous date (accoring to Jeff Racine and Qi Li), and the leave-one-out window esitmation needs a lot of computation.
