Talk:Pirates with Attitudes

message: I remember reading on a warez scene page circa 1998 to 2000 that members of pirates with attitude worked at Microsoft, and that a specific official beta release of Windows 98 even displayed a PWA logo on startup. It stated that the employees were dismissed. The article went on to explain that this was the reason why so many beta releases of Windows 98 were first released by pwa. Does anyone have a reference to this? I have searched and I cannot find it anywhere. It may have been on a News group. Family Guy Guy (talk) 20:45, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Hathor (Stargate SG-1 episode)

message: This really does need a citation, as it seems very strange in isolation.  Of the allegedly many one plot holes, only one is actually mentioned: "Hathor births many larvae, but the actual symbiote is in her head".  Without wanting to get too, erm, vividly anatomical here, given that when queen symbiotes have appeared on-screen they're honkingly large compared to the standard (male? "worker"?) snakies, why would this be infeasible?  It'd only be important to put this in the context of when Wright is supposed to have said this (e.g. does it predate or postdate other "queen" appearances).  Alai 18:48, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Prisoners (Stargate SG-1)

message: I just watched this episode, and there is no feeding tube.  A stream of the liquid food is shot through the gate, and caught in a funnel and trough.  So I removed this section:
*The feeding tube for the prisoners extends from the even horizon, yet the other end remains at the point of origin. This apparently contradicts the idea that "The gate does not begin transmitting an object until it has entirely passed through the event horizon. This ensures that only complete objects are transferred." In addition, the feeding tube also retracts back through the event horizon after sending food, which is likewise not possible within the Stargate universe.

message: The name "Catalan writers" does not clarify wether we refer to country or to language. Intead of using an intro sentence, we should have 2 separate and clear categories. One should be :Category:Writers from Catalonia and the other one will be the existing :Category:Catalan-language writers.

It wouldn't be too hard to define a continuous I(x) "information density function" so that \int_a^bI(t)dt = -\log_2{\int_a^bf(t)dt} i.e. integrating the idf from a to b would give you the self-information of the event corresponding to the interval (a,b), if f(x) is some probability density function.

thread_title:  = Entropy = surprisal? 

message: In information theory, self-information is a measure of the information content associated with the outcome of a random variable. It is expressed in a unit of information, for example bits, nats, or hartleys, depending on the base of the logarithm used in its calculation. The term self-information is also sometimes used as a synonym of entropy, i.e. the expected value of self-information in the first sense, because I(X; X)=H(X), where I(X;X) is the mutual information of X with itself.Thomas M. Cover, Joy A. Thomas; Elements of Information Theory; p. 20; 1991. These two meanings are not equivalent, and this article covers the first sense only. For the other sense, see Entropy.
Hard to understand. It explains the difference between two meanings by defining the second meaning in terms of the first meaning before the first meaning has been adequately explained. Then, it motivates something about these meanings by using symbols that haven't been explained yet, and aren't even explained in the article.

Talk:Into the Fire (Stargate SG-1)

message: Unless the firing control in the Needle Threader was a physical interface (ie, a tremendous button), wouldn't it mean that General Hammond has some naqahdah in his blood?  I know that it's required to operate a lot of Goa'uld technology, so it would seem to be a prerequisite if the guns are computer-controlled.  Then again, I could be wrong: the amount of force with which he smacked the control to fire on the second Jaffa gun turret seemed quite excessive for a computer screen.

Even allowing for the fact that Teal'c's the man, the chest shot is the right call in the situation. He's got just one chance, after all. Besides, Daniel's going to die in a couple of seconds. Who's to say that Teal'c's mind is being particularly tactical about the situation? Unsatisfying, sure, and post-creative rationalization, no doubt, but it's not really that far-fetched.

Heru-ur and Apophis are mortal enemies, and Heru-ur has taken hostile action against Amonet, too, so why does she have his Jaffa under her command?  Has there been any explanation for this?

Talk:Foothold (Stargate SG-1)

message: From the history of the article:
:*22:12, 16 November 2007 Philip Baird Shearer  (foothold link to airhead)
:*04:23, 17 November 2007 JBK405 (They might be creating an airhead (Which, by the way, I had no clue could be used in any way except as a deragtory comment about someones intellect), that's not what "foothold" explicitly refers to)
I came to this article because of the link to a page called foothold and this edit]  this edit to the foothold page which I reversed because it is OR.
If the word foothold is to be linked -- which I am not sure that it should. Then be aware that the OED meaning is:
*1. A hold or support for the feet: a surface (secure or otherwise) for standing or walking on; firm or stable position of the feet.
**b. transf. [the first example of which is] "R. L'ESTRANGE Fables cccxxxiii. 291 All fell to Work at the Roots of the Tree, and left it so little Foot-hold, that the first Blast of Wind laid it Flat upon the Ground."
**c c. fig. [and these are the definitions supplied:] "1660 H. MORE Myst. Godl. I. v. 15 Those parts of the World where their Philosophy had taken foot-hold. 1855 H. REED Lect. Eng. Lit. IV. (1878) 150 The Saracen was driven slowly from his last foothold in the west of Europe. 1864 Theolog. Rev. Mar. 19 As one foothold of belief after another is taken away."
*2. ? U.S. ‘A kind of light india-rubber overshoe, leaving the heel unprotected; a sandal. Sometimes called a tip.’ (Cent. Dict.)
In military terms a foothold is not a very precise term, usually one would use bridgehead, beachhead, or airhead, and when they become enlarged they all become a lodgement. A tenuous foothold is probably one of the former three, and a firm foothold is a lodgement (as is supported by the quote in the lodgement article).
The page Foothold is a redirect to  lodgement, but in this fictional universe it is probably closer to an airhead if it is to be linked to any article. When reality catches up with fiction and Wikipedia catches up with reality then there may be a more appropriate entry such as "planethead" or "spacehead", but at the moment either this word should be unlinked (with a footnote) to 1.c from the OED or is should link to airhead. As I have already linked it to airhead and JBK405's revert it, I'll put in a footnote instead. --Philip Baird Shearer (talk) 14:22, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Lebanon Countryside Trail

message: I'm adding a section of Map Links to see how this works. An article about a bike trail cries out for some sort of annotated map of the trail. Wikipedia does not seem to have a feature for this. The next best option may be to find the latitude, longitude coordinates of important locations along the trail and use geolinks templates to generate links to external map sites. It would be more compact to use  for each location, to avoid generating a list of map links in the article (that might be better when I have a list of locations along the trail which could get large in itself). I might try that if the geolinks templates generate too much content. Teratornis 02:45, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I rearranged the page to put the map links higher, since the whole section is more like a trail description. I cleaned up some wording to flow better. I removed all but one of the geolinks templates and replaced them with  templates. That fixed the ugliness of multiple coordinate numbers stacking up to the right of the page title. However, the resulting map references open at an inconveniently large zoom factor. I might see if I can get the template to generate streetscale references. But this is not a big deal. Next I might try to get some photos of the trail. Precise distances along the trail to the locations I mention would also be nice.
