Thanks to all who responded. Not all of the advice helped me with that particular problem, but, I have learned a lot just from your answers. 1. R for Mac 10 (Carbon version) uses the Mac convention of using ":" for the usual Unix "/" and thanks to Dr. Lumley for that since I'm new to R, Mac10, Macs in general, and Unix. 2. Interestingly, Dr. Ripley suggested to

I have successfully used HABTM to create a many-to-one-to-many set of rows in one step. Now, if two objects I want to associate already exist, how do I create the join row? The Agile book mentions the ''push_with_attributes'' method. The text says this method is useful for adding additional attributes to the join row (in the example a ''read_at'' timestamp). I

I am attempting to install 7.1-BETA2 (from CD) onto a PC with a Promise SX4060 RAID controller and two Seagate 120GB ATA disk drives.

I'm looking at setting up a new machine to run CentOS 5 and a few VMWare machines to test Windows XP, Vista, and 7. I'm working with a custom PC shop and they've recommended I use either the ASUS PT6 or Intel DX58SO. Any feedback good or bad on either of these? Thanks! --Chris

I have discovered that the JUNOS DHCP server in Juniper J-series routers doesn't support setting the next-server IP address field (I have filed a bug report with Juniper and they are working on it). Instead, it puts the "boot server" in the sname field, which PXELINUX currently ignores. Here's a simple patch (vs. 3.36) that will take an IP string in the field. My assembly is

I'd like very much to be able to run "The Master Genealogist" under Wine. TMG is a MS Visual Foxpro application for genealogy database work.

Hi, I''m running the code example for ''Dynamically Updating a List'' in Agile pages 404-406: When I enter a new to-do, and click ''New Item'', a new page is rendered only displaying the new to-do just entered. This isn''t what''s expected. The to-do list with id="items" should be updated so the to-do list dynamically grows.

Hi, Please someone let me know that the installation of both R for Windows 2.12.2 and MS office 2010 on the same system will interfere each other or not. In short, are these two tools compatible to each other? Thanks in advance. Best Regards, Vedajit [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I want to type text into an input field then on enter, use AJAX to update the value of an input field elsewhere on the screen.
