   Sometimes high profile presenters and event coordinators put rather odd things in riders as a quality control check to make sure the sponsor is being thorough. I'm not sure if this is Stallman's intent but it sure sounds like it.

    As a statistician I believe this article shows the strengths of R - fast prototyping methods - easily repeat research with scripts - data visualization - huge repository of add-on libraries from many areas of study Sure R has it setbacks.

    Perhaps I'm missing the point. If one is going to boot up between OS's that often wouldn't virtualization work best? Other than that it is a neat hack.

    great points. it's not an intro to regression book. although Harrell's examples are very well laid out and easy to follow.

    Been there to the Corvette plant. It's a wonderful tour. There is even a section of the plant where the owner of the car can help build the engine. They put a special plate on the engine with the name of the owner too.
