Talk:Gun (cellular automaton)

message: Say, has anybody else noticed that if you position a glider gun just right, it will eat gliders hitting it from the opposite direction, and stop outputting its own gliders? As soon as it stops eating gliders, it returns to its previous behaviour. Perfect for a NOT gate! --Spudtater (talk • contribs) 16:17, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Glider gun as a NOT gate? 

message: Some recent edits are continuously swapping the terms 'glider' and 'spaceship', which I don't think is right because the two terms are not interchangeable. A spaceship is any configuration that moves in a line; a glider is a very particular kind of spaceship, in fact the smallest spaceship. Thus (see, e.g. this section of the reference) a gun shoots spaceships (which can include, e.g. the "LWSS", "MWSS", "HWSS" and probably even larger specimens) while a glider gun is a special type of gun that shoots gliders. Accordingly I'm going to edit the page; please reply if you find I've made a mistake or misunderstood something.  colfulus‽ 12:04, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Gustaf Kossinna

message: Are there any primary sources for the point that Kossinna believed this? Contemporaries who held a similar view that the Indo-European homeland was in Germany, such as Francis Owen, believed it was in central Germany, around the area of Thuringia. This is why I ask, because I have not found any primary sources where Kossinna believes them to be from Schleswig Holstein, but it is also very hard to find primary sources for him.
I believe this is a valid question, as the secondary source by Stefan Arvidsson has a political thesis to it and I do not believe is a good enough source.
If a primary source cannot be found to support this claim, I believe it should be amended to state generically "Germany", rather than specifically Schleswig Holstein, until a primary source, or a less politically biased source, can be found. Thank you. Tommygunn7886 (talk) 20:34, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

in the last sent of 1st 'graph of the lead section: I keep staring at the image to the right of the text "...  a large rosette is sometimes pinned onto the ribbon which suspends a medal" and not seeing any resemblance between the shapes of the rosette in the image and of a bow knot (which is currently a Rdr to Shoelace knot.  Please state what features the shapes are supposed to have in common. Perhaps it would help to describe what operations are involved in creating a rosette, thereby clarifying what its structure is.

# Maybe my education and English aren't sufficient, but this sentence seems nonsensical to me. How is the fact that Whiston ("the clergyman") "began to read the Athanasian Creed", which is apparently accepted by a large part of today's Anglican Church and is centered on the idea of Trinity, a clear proof that he left the Anglicans for the Baptists?
