People, For my old library app I did with Rails 2.1.1, if I use Fedora 16/Ruby 1.8.6, everything is OK. If I copy the app to a Fedora 17/Ruby 1.9.3 setup and reinstall all the old Gems and run: ./script/server I get: /usr/share/rubygems/rubygems/custom_require.rb:55:in `require'': cannot load such file -- test/unit/error (LoadError) from

People, When I did: rsync -av /home/ /mntb5/ # about 4TB I got errors like: 'rsync [sender] expand file_list pointer array to xxx bytes, "did move"' with rsync hanging - after breakout on /home for writing I then get: "Read-only file system" So after unmounting and remounting /home I did: cd /home find /home/ -type d | sort >

People, I have tables years and teams and I have the years listing like: 1965 1966 1967 . . I want to be able to click on the year and ONLY list teams for that year.

People, On my home computer with a real plot I get what I expect - open circles as the plot character - on my work computer I get "q"s ! So I tried a trivial test plot on the work computer ie: a <- c(1,2,3,4,5) b <- c(1,2,3,4,5) plot(a,b) and that also gives me open circles as it should! - the plot line in my real script is: plot( means5[ ,4 ], means6[ ,4 ],

People, I want to design a historical sports db for my old school. I think at the moment it should be like: A year has many teams A team has many students A student has one lastname, firstname and middlename but a student can also have many teams (eg summer/winter abd over a number of years) . . Is there a problem with this? Doesn''t it just mean that there will be a student table

People, I am using the "las=2" parameter to rotate the labels for the X axis ticks but it means that they are almost touching the "xlab" string. I have been messing around with the "mai" paremeter but that doesn't help - is there some way of increasing the space between xlab and the X axis tick labels?

People, In the cookbook eg, categories has_many recipes but in a book eg, book has_one description - doesn''t that mean that the id of the description should be the same as the id of the book (instead of having it''s own "description_id" in the book table?
