Thought I would post this experience to the list so it's archived for posterity... My company is deploying Asterisk-based PBX's to all of our branch offices. Each office has 2 analog Voice lines and a fax line. We didn't want to go to the expense of using TDM400's in the servers (which run asterisk and Hylafax) so we opted for 2 X100P cards in each box. So far they have

DBAN is obsolete. NIST 800-88 for some time now says to use secure erase or enhanced security erase or crypto erase if supported. Other options do not erase data in remapped sectors. Chris Murphy

Is there a utility to zero unused blocks on a disk? CentOS 6.7/Ext4 I saw zerofree, but I?m not sure it would work on Ext4 or even work on this version of CentOS. thanks, -wes

As suggested in my earlier message, I have a large population of independent variables and a binary dependent outcome. It is expected that only a few of the independent variables actually contribute to the outcome, and I'd like to find those. If it wasn't already obvious, I am *not* a statistician. Not even close. :-) Statistician colleagues have suggested that I use logistic

Hello, R users, I am a very beginner of R and tried read.csv to import an excel file after saving an excel file as csv. But it added alternating rows of fictitious NA values after row number 16. When I applied read.delim, there were trailing several commas at the end of each row after row number 16 instead of NA values. Appreciate your help. Kyong [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Subject: [Sharing] CentOS 8.2 (2004) Linux Server is Compatible with Dell PowerEdge R640 1U Server Good day from Singapore, I have just installed CentOS 8.2 (2004) Linux Server on Dell PowerEdge R640 1U Server for "Donald Trump and Xi Jinping Investment Company LLP" (fictitious/fictional company name used) in Singapore on 11 August 2020 Tuesday. I can confirm that CentOS 8.2

I have a project due at school and have chosen Samba servers to research. I am trying to find a source of information that discusses the corporate advantage to Samba. How much money can a company save in NT server licensing fees for example. Something that would help me write a fictitious business proposal. If anyone can quick point me in a direction here I would appreciate it.

I see that one can take slices of lists, but is there any way to conditionally take a slice? For example, let's say I have this (fictitious) code: class FOO<list<string> names> { string First = names[0]; string Middle = !if(!eq(!length(names), 3), names[1], ""); string Last = !last(names); } Is there currently a way to implement this behavior or should I code up

Hello all, First I have done extensive searches on this forum and others and nothing seems to work. So I decided to post thinking someone could point me to the write post or give me some help. I have drawn a 100 samples from a fictitious population (N=1000), and then randomly selected 25% of the 100 samples. I would like to now merge the data.frame from the 100 samples with the data.frame for

Hello, I posted a question yesterday but I got no replies, so I'll try to reformulate it in a more concise way. I have the following data, summarizing approval ratings on two different surveys for a random sample of 1600 individuals: > ## Example: Ratings of prime minister (Agresti, Table 12.1, p.494) > rating <- matrix(c(794, 86, 150, 570), 2, 2) > dimnames(rating) <-

Suppose we have some glm object such as: myglm <- glm( y ~ x, data=DAT) Is there an elegant way--or the "right way" within the R way of thinking--to obtain the names of the response variable, the predictor variables, and the dataset, as character strings? For instance, suppose the "right way" was to use the (currently fictitious) functions theresponse(), thepredictors(),

Probably too late for consideration at this point, but there are Enterprise Class SSDs available with DoD/NSA certified/approved self encryption capability. The concept is that encryption is a hardware feature of the drive, when you want to dispose of it, you throw away the key. This allows vendors to receive broken drives back from GOV/MIL clients securely so that failure methods can be
