What does the sudden appearance of "Contacting Delphi ......the oracle is unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience." mean? A bug? It appears at plotting. Thanks Christian

Its suddenness is only as sudden as your input that triggered it. Its oblique nature is a reflection of the nature of your input. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=R+contacting+Delphi+oracle+is+unavailable --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....

Hello,
It's in the source code for `?`, file src/library/utils/R/question.R,
lines 32 to 35.
32 cat("Contacting Delphi...")
33 flush.console()
34 Sys.sleep(2+rpois(1,2))
35 cat("the oracle is unavailable.\nWe apologize for any
inconvenience.\n")
36 return(invisible())
It means the call to `?` is messed up. Maybe someone with more knowledge
of the sources can give a more meaningfull answer.
Hope this helps,
Rui Barradas

Unsuccessfull? Why unsuccessfull? Have you noticed the call to rpois? It beats runif by potential infinity. Rui Barradas Em 10-10-2012 18:30, David Winsemius escreveu:

I think David was saying the humor was unsuccessful (i.e., Christian didn't get the joke), not that the code was. Cheers, RMW

If you have an ordinary plot command, that is very strange indeed. It's a help message ... of sorts*. It should be no more likely to appear by accident in plotting than a manual page.
What was the plot command that caused it to appear?
