The thing I miss most in R are 64 bit integers. I am aware of the bit64 package, but I would prefer native support.

This is true. Even if you manage to build 2 billion + matrices, with bit64, I don't know any modeling packages that can handle those objects.

Can't you use floats with a large mantissa instead?

That's going to be less than 64 bits of usable space isn't it? I think the largest integer you can fit in a float precisely is 56 bits.

Yeah, but it's still better than a 32 bit integer, I suppose.

The majority of Heise forum participants are wrong then.

Maybe

Do you have the titles of the documentaries? I didn't find any. Search engines just deliver tons of links of lawyers offering their services.

Yeah. Let's water down the shit out of this. It's a fantastic book even without the profanity and if this is required to get it into the classroom, well, then so be it. The original language makes it even more attractive to some younger readers though. "I'm pretty much fucked." as the very first sentence? Cool, I'll keep on reading.
