Talk:Active component

message: Are these active or passive devices?--Light current 12:49, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You can find references classifying them either way.  IMO, they are more accurately described as Active because their impedance varies with respects to an input.  Regarding the current definition in this article, they would have to be Active (direction of current).  They are sometimes classified as Passives because the "input" terminals are the same as the "output".Megamemnon 13:59, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure what definition the page gave when the above comment was posted last March, but most (all?) diodes clearly do not fit the definition currently given, "can be used to provide gain in an electronic circuit".  Quoting from Ian Hickman's Analog Electronics (2nd edition), "If passive components are the cogs and pinions of a circuit, an active component is the mainspring.  The analogy is not quite exact perhaps, for the mainspring stores and releases the energy to drive the clockwork, whereas an active component drives a circuit by controlling the release of energy from a battery or power supply in a particular manner. ... It is arguable that diodes in general are not really active devices at all, but simply non-linear passive devices.  However, they are usually considered along with other active devices such as transistors and triacs, and the same plan is followed here."  Clearly, the definition of "active component" needs refining to include diodes, or the article should make clear that diodes are not truly active components, but due to their makeup and use in circuits, are often presented alongside gain-providing components.  I like the latter choice, but am open to having my mind changed. Robert K S 10:35, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Normal diodes are passive since they can provide no power gain. However, tunnel diodes, for example, can be biased to provide power gain, hence they can be active. I've updated the definition to clarify this. Roger 18:26, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Yoga piracy

message: Yoga Piracy is a fact. A fact given and prooved by the Indian Govenment. Steps against this piracy are already on the move and are on a very large scale.
India has decided to put an end to generous free lunches people have been helping themselves to
To curb this pillage of our heritage, the Indian government has initiated a move to document 1,500 yoga postures - from Patanjali to the present times - and store them in a Digital Traditional Knowledge Library. This data will then be made available to patent offices worldwide.

Talk:Han shot first

message: I don't want throw OR into the article, but what bothers me more than Han's hero factor is the sheer stupidity on Han's part and incompetence on Greedo's part in the revised Han Shot Second scenario. Han is sitting like four feet away from a bounty hunter that has a pistol trained on him and is about to shoot him; in waiting to be fired on, he should have no expectation of surviving even if he does get a shot off himself. And then Greedo, hardened bounty hunter, completely misses a steady shot at a man sitting still right across a table. It doesn't make Han look like a skilled but principled gunslinger. It makes it look like the screenwriter is giving him a piggyback ride. Okay, rant over, but it feels like an important point a relevant source has also addressed it.Milhisfan (talk) 03:03, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Han shot solo 

message: Someone reverted my edit stating that there was an added scene where it explicitly shows Greedo shooting first, then laser shots from both Greedo and Han Solo, then an explosion happening seemly killing Greedo. In the original version, Greedo suddenly explodes with no visible shots from either Han Solo or Greedo. So, if that addition in the Special Edition of Star Wars is not actually an added scene, what is it called then? An added shot? Additional footage? What should it be labeled in the article? Is it a necessity for this addition to be specifically called out? Matthew Cenance (talk) 00:25, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Can you provide more clarity regarding your concern with the existing language? The whole interaction is the scene, so it would be inaccurate to say that there is an added "scene" showing Greedo shooting first. It might be appropriate to say additional footage or added shot depending on the technical details of what they did, but I also think that it's reasonable to say "edited" as well.

message: In adding some content to this article, I decided not to put this in:  "The reason for the topic of this short was the fact that the Stooges were Jewish."  It is true that many, if not  most, American Jews knew about the conditions that their fellow Jews faced in Nazi Germany.  Prior to American entry in the war, there is evidence some media outlets (most notably comic books, Stan Lee had made some comments to that effect) that had a substantial Jewish employment (or ownership) would attempt to influence American opinion about the Nazis.  I believe that this short fits into this pattern, however, I have no proof, but some pretty good circumstantial evidence.

thread_title: Stooges' Judaism

message: The film and its sequel are set in the fictional country of Moronica. Moe Howard's character Moe Hailstone represented Hitler, and Curly Howard played a character based on Hermann Göring. You Nazty Spy! was reportedly Howard's favorite Three Stooges short.

thread_title:  Which Howard? 

message: In one of Moe's speeches, the line beginning "Alle menschen mussen machen..." is also used in the musical version of The Producers in the song "The King of Broadway". It is supposed Yiddish for "who do you have to fuck to get a break in this town?". The song is not featured in the movie, but it can be found on the film's soundtrack.
I deleted this item unless someone can come up with a citation -- to say anything of the sort in a Stooges film, whether in Yiddish or not, would be very out of character for Moe. Moe's speeches in the film sound to me to be a mixture of a few common German phrases (such as "Alle menschen mussen machen..." which, contrary to this item, is indeed German -- not Yiddish -- and means "All men must make...") and a few "pidgin" German sounds that mock the cadence of a typical Hitler harangue.StanislavJ 23:29, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
