Bug#409025: mpqc
Package: mpqc Version: 2.3.1-1 From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since version 2.3.1, mpqc allows MP2-R12 procedures provided that it is given libint runtime. That lib is found at the mpqc website alongside the program source. That procedure requires sizeable hardware which is today available at 64bit only. Though, without libint, mpqc is not at its full capacity. I use debian amd64 etch on multi dual-opteron and have put on HOLD mpqc version 2.3.1 (compiled to give libint runtime). Hope that is convincing enough to re-package moqc 2.3.1-1. Thank you Cheers francesco pietra 8:00? 8:25? 8:40? Find a flick in no time with the Yahoo!

Bug#369286: hplip: Deskjet printer is turned on on boot and nightly
It may be not faulty of the printer firmware: my HP Deskject 5740 is turned on on booting debian 32 etch. This This annoyng feature started some ten days ago after update/upgrade. I tunr the printer off, but at some point (Icn not tell you when) it is started again unwillingly. Condidering the mess we are experiencing with installation of debian amd64 (which repositories, which kernel, and so on without a written panel of instructions on the web), i consider the above printer one as nothing. francesco pietra On Wednesday 31 May 2006 23:29, Henrique de Moraes Holschuh wrote: On Sun, 28 May 2006, KnuX wrote: However, I found an annoying behaviour...

Which? /etc/init.d/cupsys restart /etc/init.d/hplip restart Is it possible to disable this auto-booting of the printer ? I notice that only the power led was turned on, I have never eared the printer's mecanism. This is bogosity in the printer firmware, which turns it fully online when inquired about its model. It is an upstream problem I have no idea how to fix. OTOH, as soon as we make sure exactly when your printer is being turned on, and you give me the output of hp-info for the printer, I will forward this bug upstream. Maybe they can fix the problem, in fact I thought they had done so. -- One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.

Bug#361418: Debian menu and the Apps/Science section
Unconvinced. Theoretical chemistry, as an example, is largely mathematics. But not only in the sense below engineering/physics. To develop novel theoretical chemistry, new mathematics has to be invented. The same for physics/mathematics: remember that Newton had to invent (I know that in some quarters the invention is attributed to another scientists, but the latter was a professional physicist too) infinitesimal calculation. I reiterate to avoid cutting into pieces more than for the fundamental sciences, and put mathematics in (i am not a professional mathematician) regards francesco pietra On Monday 15 May 2006 01:56, Ben Burton wrote: Hi, I think Mathematics is also part of Science. FWIW, I would argue that mathematics is not a science -- it does not use the scientific method, there is no hypothesis and experimentation -- it is a more self-contained discipline that, while it seeks to be useful, is not bound to modelling the physical world. Certainly science _uses_ mathematics, in the same way that engineering uses physics, and so on. But mathematics as a whole is somewhat broader. Anyway, I'd be very happy to see Mathematics and Science kept separate as they are now. I do claim that mathematics is very different from the other disciplines that have been mentioned, in a way that physics, chemistry, biology and so on are not. b. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

etc., what about chemistry? Chemistry is at the basis of natural sciences mentioned below, and a basic science in its own. Think about chemistry (there are great debian packages for chemistry, first on the line - in my view - mpqc. At any event, there are chemists under the Science section umbrella.

Bug#361418: Debian menu and the Apps/Science section
I received this message after I answered Bill Allombert. The list below is a reasonable one, when Bio is written in full Biology and medicine is added; medicine is largely biology but with special needs. I disagree with the distinction science/education. Scientific education is science, or ideally it should be. Most discoveries spring from students doing a thesis work, which is education. Arrhenius set the a large section of the basis of chemistry (and thereby of biology chemistry agronomy etc etc) while a student under education (although - being too much ahead of the times - he was blamed for his ideas). Surely what I am saying is not exhaustive. It is a matter to think about for a while. I am answering while doing chemistry, thus short of time. regards francesco pietra On Sunday 14 May 2006 18:20, Thomas Walter wrote: Hello, On Sun, 2006-05-14 at 17:01, Bill Allombert wrote: Hello Debian Science people, There is a discussion (in bug #361418) on the future of the Debian menu structure.

From my point of view this 2 section names are arbitrary and too global. It also opens a long discussion about the hirarchy. I think Mathematics is also part of Science. At least for application like axiom, octave, mathematica, ... So having a Math section in parallel to Science could be for more calulator oriented SW. In general, my understanding of Science is in the sense of research and not education. Thus an example breakdown within Sience could be like Mathematics Physics Bio Chemistry Astronomics Geology ... where some applications or tools can be part of several sub-sections. Perhaps applications which could be used in nearly all sub-sections could go into a General or Common Section. In parallel to section Science have a section Education.

To answer here, taking into account other suggestions, i believe that the less we cut science into pieces the better the result. Specialisation has resulted to be a negative trend in university education (all over the world). When industry seeks for a fresh graduate biologist, industry seeks for a strong general background, not specialisation. That said, I would not go much farther in cutting sciences into pieces than Mathematics Physics Biology Medicine Maybe I am overlooking one or two important cuts. Suggest. These sections allow interdisciplinary contacts. Today, more perhaps than ever, it is hard to do good science that is not interdisciplinary. The more you cut into pieces, the more you isolate scientists because, for economy reasons, one tends to scan only his specialized section. These are my ideas of an university organic chemist with parallel education in biological sciences. In particular, i am against tasks with respect to disciplines. Tasks change with small changes in the society. Disciplines are for a long time a reference point. regards francesco pietra On Monday 15 May 2006 04:57, Ben Burton wrote: FWIW, I would argue that mathematics is not a science -- it does not use the scientific method, there is no hypothesis and experimentation -- it is a more self-contained discipline that, while it seeks to be useful, is not bound to modelling the physical world. I think of new ways to try and simulate things faster or in a simpler way. Then i'll write the simulation and try the ideas and measure its performance and accuracy. This applied mathematics is very much like a real-world engineering problem with hypothesis and experimentation. Hmm, perhaps I didn't express myself properly. Of course, any discipline can use hypothesis and experimentation, from the arts to astrology. What I mean is: in the physical sciences, hypothesis and experimentation are fundamental to building scientific truth. This is because the basis of science is trying to understand the physical world, formulating theories that explain what is seen, and then testing and refining these theories. This is what the scientific method is for. On the other hand, mathematical truth is based on pure logic and proof. It need not have any link to the physical world (though it often does). Experimentation can be a useful guide, but it is certainly not essential, and indeed experimental results are generally not accepted as a method of establishing mathematical facts. The result of all of this is that mathematicians can be more sure of their truths than scientists, but on the other hand their work is often somewhat less useful from a practical point of view.

I found cupsys-bsd necessary to have adobe reader 7.0 printing *.pdf from cups (HPdeskjet5740). curiously (?) graphics is not transferred from adobe to clipboard while text it is. conversely, in my hands, kpdf transfers both text and graphics to clipboard but does not print *.pdf (mime windows says unable to convert). clearly i have some wrong settings but because i am short of time, in taking trace of current scientific literature, i use adobe for printing and kpdf for transfer to clipboard; this involved open twice the file. francesco pietra On Wednesday 12 April 2006 04:40, Filipus Klutiero wrote: Package: cupsys-bsd Severity: minor In It is provides separately to allow CUPS to coexist with other printing systems (to a small degree)., provides should read provided. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
