Dear List: An e-mail mentioning the r-project.org address and sent to a friend at a German university was considered spam by the local spam filter. Its reasoning: the URL "r-project.org" is blacklisted at uribl.swinog.ch resp. at antispam.imp.ch. I checked the list http://antispam.imp.ch/swinog-uri-rbl.txt [caution: long list] and indeed, there it was. Can anybody explain how or

Dear All, I am using a Procrustes analysis to compare two NMDS ordinations for the same set of sites. One ordination is based on fish data, the other is based on invertebrate data. Ordinations were derived using metaMDS() from the {vegan} library as follows: fish.mds<-metaMDS(fish.data, distance="bray", k=3, trymax=100, wascores=TRUE, trace=TRUE, zero="add")

So, probably some of you, at least, follow Fedora, perhaps in part to see what new desktop user oriented decision will make it into the next version of RHEL/CentOS. You may have noticed how if Fedora, by some odd scheme, deems your password unworthy, you have to click Done two times. So, the latest Ananconda takes this one step further. Passwords that the system considers weak will no longer

Or trust some 3rd party password keeper to keep them. Whereas when 'not weak' is determined by someone else in the middle of trying to complete something, you are very likely to

Hi, I have been trying to create a function to generate a Procrustes plot, generated from package "vegan" in lattice. standard vegan code as follows library(vegan) pro=protest(P1, P8, permutations=4999,choices=1:4) plot(pro) Now, here is the code for the function that I have failed to get to work properly. panel.procrustes=function(x,y) }Pro=protest(x,y,permutations=4999,choices=1:4)

It seems like every time I try to do something a little different, I cannot get output saved just right. This is on RedHat 7.2 with R 1.4.1. The png output looks fine, but the eps output has the problem that the bounding box on the legend cuts the legend in half. I put a copy of a bad one here: http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/ResearchPapers/meanProtest-box.eps When I asked about these

Complaining on the CentOS list is probably not that productive, though. -- Jonathan Billings

I''m doing some housekeeping and just realised that the rdoc formatter produces gibberish: http://rspec.rubyforge.org/rdoc/files/EXAMPLES_rd.html Will anyone protest if I just go ahead and remove it? (I can''t imagine anyone using it, especially with the much better HTML formatter) Aslak
