Talk:Valet

message: Is Alfred, servant of Bruce Wayne (Batman), considered a valet?
:Might I suggest that he is not? People always emphasise that, with Jeeves, he is 'Val-ett' and not 'Val-ay', pointing to his serving Wooster personally rather than his household, as is done by a butler. As Alfred's purview is more that of the Wayne household rather than Bruce Wayne (Batman)himself. tomant 15.20 15th September 2012 (BST+1)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.109.60.10 (talk) 13:36, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

message: When I first read “personification of the perfect valet” I laughed because I had read that before.  Ben Weider once used exactly the same words to describe Louis Joseph Marchand who was  Napoléon I Bonapartes favourite personal servant.  I don’t think personifications exists in the real world but Louis was probably as close to the perfect valet as anyone can get. 2008-12-30  Lena Synnerholm, Märsta, Sweden.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.229.19.102 (talk) 21:28, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

message: "Traditionally, a valet did much more than merely lay out clothes and take care of personal items. He was also responsible for making travel arrangements, dealing with any bills and handling all money matters concerning his master or his master's household" - from what I know, at least in Victorian (and perhaps slightly earlier) times this was only true of households not having a butler, who would be the one in charge of money (not sure about travel arrangements) if present.

thread_title:  Location ? 

message: The article states Displacement: 275 tons surface, 350 tons submerged .
A boat of the size of the Alligator should have a desplacement of approximately 35 tons submerged.
The difference between the surfice and submerged is 75 tons this is what you would expect of a larger boat say about 500 tons.
If the numbers are given are off by a factor of 10 and were 27.5 tons surfaced and 35 tons submerged both the displacement and diference world be consistent with a boat of the Alligators size.
75.171.69.166 (talk) 05:41, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Good catch. For the given dimensions, a crude calculation of the enclosing box (47 ft × 4 ft 8 in × 5 ft 6 in) gives a volume of 34,162 liters, displacing 34 tonnes of water. The submerged sub should weigh somewhat less than that, because its volume doesn't perfectly fill the entire box. It certainly can't weigh more, or it would sink like a stone! -- Colin Douglas Howell (talk) 06:36, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Displacemet inconsistent with boat size 

message: The first portion states that the replacement of the oars increased the speed to 7 knots while the second states 4.

replies: text: Thanks for drawing my attention to the problem. I have removed the original research. The 4 knots / 7 knots issue is not really a contradiction because it says with the propeller the speed was increased up to seven knots - in other words it was capable of 7 knots in ideal conditions but 4 knots was its usual speed.

text: "Usually" is close to right. It's not uncommon for big companies like Microsoft (and maybe Google) to buy smaller companies and to obsolesce their great product. This might be to eliminate competition, but sometimes it's for the more benign reason of simply finding after some years that they no longer have the manpower to maintain the product. Still, in the case of Symantec, which has no competing product to my knowledge, one might think that the company would get (or could have gotten) more value out of selling Partition Magic to someone else.

thread_title:  Regarding Symantec aquisition 

message: Article states:
"It can however manage/modify Windows Vista or Windows 7 partitions when started from a compatible operating system such as Windows XP."
Sadly, this is not true.  The incompatibility came about because Microsoft deliberately made Vista and Windows 7 store the two partition tables on the disc with a deliberate error.  Thus any attempt to use PartitionMagic on such a disc will always give an error message, and PM will not allow any further manipulation.  This was because both Vista and Windows 7 included their own partition manipulating capability, though it only offers a small subset of the PM capabilities.  PM can be used to create and partition a disc before Vista or Windows 7 is installed.  This incompatibility includes running PM from a bootable removal disc.  Symantec could have updated PM to overcome this problem but have chosen not to do so. DieSwartzPunkt (talk) 18:55, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
