Talk:Boss key

message: F1/F10 ?  One part of the article mentions hitting F10 to bring up the "boss screen," but another says "hit F1 again...".  These are not the same keys, so either one is wrong and should be the other, or the "again" should be removed.  Anyone with information on this, please make the change.

message: The UK Biodiversity Group (1998) stated that it was introduced to the Netherlands and was
apparently well-established there. However, there are only two old records in the Rijskherbarium
at Leiden (L) and the Dutch do not have any other records (R. van der Meijden, pers. comm.,
1998). The details of the two records are:
Ermelo, longs de weg naar de Zuiderzee [clover field], July 1933, Jansen & Kruseman.
Amsterdam, langs de Coenhaven [docks], July 1934, Jansen & Wachter.
Druce (1897) was unable to find any material from the continent, and P. M. Smith has similarly
seen no other material (pers. comm., 1999).

thread_title:  Date in first section 

message: The following 
Up until the mid 1990s, the majority of programming languages used in industry supported manual memory management. Today, however, languages with garbage collection are becoming increasingly popular; the main manually-managed languages still in widespread use today are C and C++.
seems to hint that GC and manual-memory management (MM) can't coexist in the same language.
That's untrue. Languages like Ada and Modula3 support MM in "unsafe" modules. Manually-managed memory(or GCed one, depending on which is the default) is allocated in a separated heap and is handled with proper primitves (e.g. malloc&co).
Broadly speaking, any language can have such low-level api. Most if not any of CommonLisp implementation provide the so-called "alien/foreign types" primitives ,see CFFI CFFI, "CFFI in SBCL" "SBCL Manual" and "Franz Inc." "Franz's Allegro CL FFI"

message: IMO the opportunity to ensure the disposal of system resources at object deallocation time can be beneficial independently from resources' scarcity, I'd remove the adjective "scarce".
I would not make any reference to RAII as well, for the following reasons:
- the feature being exploited is the possibility of defining destructors/finalizers, which is orthogonal to RAII, that is based on stack-allocation semantics instead.
- RAII implies to acquire resources at construction time. Finalisation is more general, it just ties the life-time of a resource-handle to the current owning object.
- RAII is a C++ term unused in other languages which still implement this or pretty similar techniques
