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

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

Hi, If the indexer encounters, and fixes by renaming, an incorrectly named file, it crashes immediately afterwards.

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, 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.

Hello, Is there a convenient way to import RDF/OWL data into R? I'm interested in importing BioPAX/SBPAX data into R to make them available for a wider audience. One exciting application would be to use pathway data to explain differential microarray measurements by identifying upstream nodes that are likely involved in causing the differences. This could also be used to validate
