Talk:Virtual Pascal

message: How was the wide user base measured? The maillist has 5 posts in the last half year, and the webpage only lists a handful comments on
its demise.
Is there a forum somewhere or so?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.61.103.98 (talk) 06:47, 15 July 2005
----
Answer: Note that the page says in the late nineties (more mid than late nineties maybe). Since 2000 it pretty much collapsed, and even the main site is down currently, and even before 2000 it was already decreasing.
But to my knowledge that remark is pretty true, at least in Europe. The shareware/BBS scene, the OS/2 scene and the educational sector used it massively, also because it was one of the few affordable multi platform compilers before the open source movement really became usable. (and still the IDE, textmode as it is, is vastly superior over most open source ones in productivity).
That there never was a radical break from OS/2 and Dos was one of the reasons why VPascal died, due to mainly its unmaintainable codebase (pure assembler compiler!) with external nondistributable parts, all originating from its commercial past.

message: At one point the article states the seconds pendulum is at 45N, and at another point "the latitude of Paris."  Paris is at nearly 49N, while Bordeaux in southern France is closer to 45N.  So which was it?  45N, or the latitude of Paris? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.71.254.248 (talk) 22:06, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: What Latitude - Really?

message: "This and other developments changed what had promised to be an internationally developed system into a strictly French project."
I am confused by this sentence as at least for me it's open for 2 ways of interpretation:
1. The Act itself of Measuring the meter for the first time was restricted to France.
- Kind of, yes as the length of the meridian was being exactly measured in France. But no one would have stopped Jefferson or the US to do the measurement in their country as well
2. The Measurement of the Meter was based on something exclusive to France.
- That's a clear no. They changed from the rod to the meridian BECAUSE with the rod it would be limited to measure the meter solely at a certain latitude (45 N) while the length of the meridian is always the same on the globe and it can be measured from any location (Modern Sciences tells us that the earth is not a perfect ball, so this is actually not possible). The idea behind the decision was therefore not to restrict it to France but to open it up even further. LordMoff (talk) 01:53, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Thermal printing

message: Concerning historical background, I might cite US Patent 3,161,457, "Thermal Printing Units" Dec. 15, 1964, Schroeder et al.  
The comment below is interesting, because in the course of that development in the NCR Research Division several of us visited with Jack Kilby, trying to see whether thermal print heads could be made in silicon.  Ultimately a glass substrate (as illusteated in the Patent) was chosen and produced by John L Janning, Dayton, OH.

:==Legends==
:It is said in legend that if any volcanic rock or black sand is taken from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (or anywhere in Hawaii) that the person that took it will be cursed by the Hawaiian volcano goddess Pele until it is returned. While purportedly an ancient Hawaiian belief, historians can trace this legend only to the mid-twentieth century, and it is widely believed to have been  invented by park rangers to keep visitors from taking rocks. Nevertheless, the lobby of Kīlauea Military Camp (now a vacation area for military personnel) has a cabinet displaying rocks returned by people attempting to atone for the bad luck that has befallen them, and letters describing their predicaments.

Talk:Fatima

message: The page says:
When Muhammad died in 632, Fatima and her husband Ali refused to acknowledge the authority of the first caliph, Abu Bakr. The couple and their supporters held that Ali was the rightful successor of Muhammad,[4] possibly referring to his announcement at the Ghadir Khumm.[12]
However, this is not the view held in Orthodox Islam and the majority of Muslims around the world. The page should reflect the Orthodox view and if for the sake of completeness it wishes to include the claim Fatima refused to accept Abu Bakr, a note should be made that this is according to the Shia view. 86.26.78.170 (talk) 23:37, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The page is supposed to reflect reliable sources about the matter and that it does well. It is also the view of the "Orthodox Islam" that Ali withheld his pledge from Abu Bakr for some months after the death of Muhammad (per Sahih Bukhari). He did so obviously because he considered the caliphate to be his own right and his wife Fatima naturally supported his claim until her death. Now the Shia view is that Ali never renounced his claim, based on numerous sayings and letters attributed to him, even though he didn't actively pursue it for the sake of the unity of the Muslim community.

message: The key idea (or at least, one of them) in this story is that the shared hallucination of a coherent "Party leader" is misleading, and that when one stops taking drugs (or takes anti-hallucinogenics) each person will perceive the leader differently; to one is a monster, to the other a robot, etc. The anti-intuitive idea is that the "real" Leader is coherent, when that's the hallucination, and in "reality" the Leader looks different to each observer.
