thread_title:  Introduced to data communication  

message: From the Engineering and Technology History Wiki "RAND Corporation researcher Paul Baran wrote an eleven-volume analysis, “On Distributed Communications,” for the Air Force in August 1964. The Air Force wanted to build a communication system that would not fail if one of its nodes was destroyed. Distributed networks had the virtue of being survivable because they have no critical central components. ... In 1965, Davies of the National Physical Laboratory in the United Kingdom, designed a store-and-forward packet switching system. In a June 1966 proposal, he coined the term “packet” to describe the 128-byte data blocks that would flow through the system. Only after distributing this research in Britain did Davies learn that Baran had made a similar proposal in 1964."
If your going to give both of them credit I feel it's only fair to mention that Baran did in fact precede Davies. AgentChicken32 (talk) 23:26, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree, that's correct. The Wikipedia article does say this as well, in both the lead and the body. See History of the Internet#Packet switching. However, Paul Baran didn't build a network, whereas Davies built the local-area NPL network, see History of the Internet#NPL network. Baran is prominently discussed on the main article on Packet switching. Whizz40 (talk) 06:13, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Super Nintendo Entertainment System

message: I recently did some copy editing and sourcing work on the New-Style Super NES article, and with the resulting work, I propose merging it into the Super Nintendo Entertainment System article since I don't think its content warrants a separate article. From my perspective, the New-Style article wholly fails WP:GNG due to the lack of significant coverage in reliable secondary sources; most articles I could find from reliable online sources on WP:VG/S only mention it within the larger context of console redesigns. While I had minimal access to contemporary print sources, I doubt they would reveal anything that was not already covered by online sources; heck, the article I found on Electronic Gaming Monthly about it was an exact copy of the one from GameSpot.
Considering that the redesigned console only stripped features from the original one, I think it would be easy to explain in the context of the SNES overall without causing any length issues. While I would be inclined to do a WP:BOLD merge myself, I realize a discussion is likely needed beforehand as the article in question for merging into has practically existed ; it was assigned a C-class rating , upgraded from Start-class, but the rating was under dubious circumstances. With the amount of content involved, I have a draft ready to act on if consensus is reached. CascadeUrbanite (talk) 08:00, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Quote Chages 

message: I think it needs to be pointed out that, in the end, Van Doren lost on purpose.  And to a question he had answered in front of Goodwin before so Goodwin knew Van Doren was backing down on purpose.  I think it's an important point to make since it shows Van Doren conscously deciding to end his run as opposed to simply loosing naturally.

message: The article currently says "There is also no mention of the initial investigation, led by prosecutor Joseph Stone from the office of New York County District Attorney Frank Hogan.  Only after Judge Mitchell Schweitzer sealed the New York Grand Jury findings in the June 1959 probe did Congress launch its investigation."

thread_title:  NY DA's investigation is in the movie 

message: Someone seems to think less than $25 million dollars is a box office success. This is not true of any film released in the 1980s or post 1980s. If it cost a million dollars to produce and then went on to make $25 million dollars then it became a good return on a million dollar investment, but not a box office success, which is determined by amount of ticket sales. I loved Quiz Show the film and wish it had been a successful film, but the fact is it was not. I do not know why the citation of it being a critcal success keeps being replaced by that of it was a box office success, which is not fact, it is fiction.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ilovepinkyrings (talk • contribs) 04:29, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Semi-protected edit request on 12 December 2023 

message: "Locke compared the English monarchy's rule over the British people to Adam's rule over Eve in Genesis, which was appointed by God." This sentence, with a citation to Two Treatises on Government, states the opposite of what Locke was arguing in that book. He is refuting an author who believed in absolute monarchy based on the idea that fatherhood was the basis of absolute rule and that Adam was the first father and thus the first monarch. Locke masterfully refutes this logic page after page in the book cited leading him to oppose even the idea that Adam was monarch over Eve, which is the opposite of what is stated in this article. I suggest this sentence be removed. 2601:249:447F:1960:4C7E:C02C:C6F2:C21A (talk) 15:11, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

:: That Powerful ESCAPE Character - Key and Sequences - Computer History Vignettes - By Bob Bemer

thread_title:  Description 

message: Is it safe to say that, if the term were to be applied to natural languages, then in English, the vowel sound written as "oo" would be termed an escape sequence? I mean, if you consider that, on a keyboard, a shift key press along with another key yields another character, and that can be deemed a hardware escape sequence.
--Jerome Potts (talk) 05:14, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably not.  While an escape sequence has a different meaning from the other data within which it is embedded, it is also easily recognized by its prefix.  It has both different meaning and different structure. Tedickey (talk) 09:51, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Analogy 

message: This page is really lacking examples of escape sequences. I found my way here from the Control character page which has the following:
: For example, the sequence of code 27, followed by the printable characters "[2;10H", would cause a DEC VT-102 terminal to move its cursor to the 10th cell of the 2nd line of the screen.
I expected to see more examples, or a link to examples for escape sequences. The Control character page has a better explanation of Escape sequences than this page, and it doesn't even belong there as much as here. I'd like to propose an Examples section of common escape sequences that a person might usually run into (i.e. color escape sequences or cursor movement sequences). It would help make sense of this article and what it's talking about. Martinemde (talk) 07:47, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably not - Wikipedia already has guidelines recommending against making this a manual or how-to.  There are existing WP:RS sources which do this, and Wikipedia's guidelines recommend using those TEDickey (talk) 11:21, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Phi (disambiguation)

message: Regarding Phi not being the diameter symbol. I live in Europe (specifically, Romania), I'm an engineer, and we definitely use Phi for diameters -- even in speaking, "phi 22" means "a diameter of 22 mm". The fact that the symbol may look a little different in some circumstances may be true, but since this is an encyclopedia, I was trying to document the logical rather than visual symbol usage. Didn't revert Radiojon's edit because he was basically reverting mine, so we would've ended up in a potential edit war -- could someone with a say in this decide this for us? --Gutza 22:25, 24 Aug 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: I have a small amount of training in engineering drawing, and I know that a diameter symbol is drawn like "ø". But if you say it's pronounced "phi" then your word is good enough for me. The problem here seems to be that you both are trying to summarise a complex situation down to a single sentence. Why? -- Tim Starling 23:59, 24 Aug 2003 (UTC)

text: Finally, a use for my engineering drawing textbook! It is Engineering Drawing, A.W. Boundy 5th ed. I knew I had been keeping it for something. It uses a diameter symbol which is a circle roughly the height of a capital letter, with a stroke at 30° from vertical. The circle and the stroke are both drawn with a thin line -- no thick or thin ends. At no stage do they call it "phi". Note that although my browser renders φ as a single curvy stroke, it's often written in a way similar to the symbol described above. Anyway, assuming we can't find a definitive answer on etymology, I suggest we change the article to say that the diameter symbol is often referred to as "phi". I don't think there's any need to proclaim this usage "right" or "wrong". -- Tim Starling 01:25, 26 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Note, both this content and format are as seen elsewhere within :Category:American hard rock musical groups and similar genre categories.  We also have :Category:Lists of concert tours.
