An amusing afterthought : What is a rival software (ahem!) was planting this, hoping for a divide between S and R communities.or at the very minimum hoping for some amusement. an assumption or even a pretense of stealing credit is one of the easiest ways of sparking intellectual discord Most users of softwares don't really care about who gets credit ( Who wrote Windows Vista ,or Mac OS or

Is anyone in the leadership of the R-project going to contact the New York Times and clarify that the article gave remarkably short shrift to the people who designed the user interface for R, to a large extent AT&T researchers from an earlier generation? It would be the appropriate thing to do. The R team did not develop the user interface for R, the designers of the S programming language

I worked on some ad data before and I found NYT article very biaised and not far from a fraud... Anyone knows if they got money from a - company - to play 'R'? Check out the title: R U Ready for R? Seems to me this title was stolen from XLSolutions www.xlsolutions-corp.com and they never mentioned XLSolutions in the article! They mentioned commercial R....never mentioned

Hi, I am a new user of R 2.8.1. I use Tinn-R for code editing. I use a windows 2003 system with 1 GB RAM. I am interested to generate dashboard and reports based on data from MS Access. These reports need to be posted on a weekly basis to the web. The reporting interface should provide facilities for "what if" scenarios. Is it possible to interface R analysis results to good open

R and its GUI Rattle helped me establish a data mining consulting startup on my own, without taking bank credit . People I met on the forum and especially books like rforsasandspssusers.com/ <http://rforsasandspssusers.com/> helped me ease the transition to the new Object Oriented method from the earlier - even a monkey can create shakespeare if he types enough kind of analytics software.

Readers of this list might be interested in the following article in the New York Times and might find amusing the notion that "Some people familiar with R describe it as a supercharged version of Microsoft's Excel spreadsheet software...". http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/07/technology/business-computing/07progra m.html?_r=1&ref=technology Art

Hi everyone, I'm trying to plot some data across time. I have a list of articles, ranks, date/times, authors, etc. Someone suggested using zoo and someone suggested using ts. I'm pretty new at this and have been trying a simple if() plot() statement, but it doesn't seem to work. I keep getting an error that Title does not exist. Basically its saying that the headers do not exist as

Has anyone worked out a way around the 1+16 group limit imposed on Solaris in regards to samba. Our situation is that users only see the Solaris 2.6 server via Samba - ie. no user has telnet or general unix access to the server. Is there a way using Samba to allow users to belong to more than 16 secondary groups (ie. bypassing the underlying unix group limitation). I am aware that you can

Suppose a user submits a url: http://www.nyt.com/education/2345545. How can this be shortened to a cleaner url, like nyt.com? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

First, don't shout when you set the subject. It just looks like spam. >* Why does testparm complain about can't find include file? > Can't find include file Something tells me that you have an include line in your conf file in the form of include = /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.%m which it tries to include, for every machine that accesses your server, and of course fails,

Hi, Using dumpe2fs I have been able to determine that all of my alternate ext3 superblocks are corrupted (not clean), and only the primary superblock is valid, i.e. mount works and the ordered journal is applied. When the primary superblock gets flakey, i.e. the ext_attr Filesystem feature goes missing - not sure why this occurs. At this point, the mount does not apply the journal using the

I appeal to those entrusted with the keeping of the R flame, the S flame, and the S-Plus flame to relate a bit of history. How did S, S-Plus, and R get their names? Going from S to S-Plus appears clear, a commercial company purchased rights to S, developed a product that they wanted to indicate was related to S, but was more fully developed. This leaves me with only a rumor how S got its original
