Talk:George Nelson (designer)

message: The marshmallow sofa was not George Nelson's design, but rather belonged to Irving Harper who worked at the company.
It may be more accurate to separate George Nelson and George Nelson Associates to give proper credit to Nelson's associate designers since all designs from that office bore the George Nelson Associates' imprimatur...
It is interesting that there is no mention of George Nelson's Bubble Lamp designs  which are still very popular today.Blessedone777 (talk) 00:03, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Graymail

message: The article states: "The Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA), a.k.a. the Graymail Law, of 1980 was designed to counter this tactic (meaning #1) by allowing judges to review classified material in secret, so that the prosecution can proceed without fear of publicly disclosing sensitive intelligence." But the  linked article seems to point to meaning #2, not meaning  #1. 
The linked article includes the sentence "CIPA was designed to meet the trial tactic of "greymail"—the intimation by a defendant formerly connected to the intelligence community that at trial he may need to disclose classified information." Reading this sentence alone could lead to the conclusion that meaning #1 is intended. But the following sentence is "CIPA requires the defense attorneys to give notice of the classified information they want to use, and it requires the judge to rule on materiality." This suggests that the true intended meaning is #2. 
I would change the Wikipedia article myself, but I defer to experts. Anomalocaris 03:49, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Trivia

message: I've started copy editing this, but uh well I got bored with it. The whole thing could use a once-over for grammar and punctuation, but it's not all that bad. The worst thing going on, and it's a real easy fix, is the inconsistent verb tense. Some episodes are described in past tense, some are in present. I don't know which is considered "standard", but dang, it needs to be one or the other throughout. Oh and somebody needs to standardize all the references to specific seasons, with regard to capitalization and numerals vs. words. The phrase "Season One" does not need to be followed by "season 2," etc.

message: This episode is a metaphor for the treatment of American veterans of the Vietnam war upon their return, which was still a point of contention in American culture in 1990. Picard's line of "They were your brothers, your sons, and you turned your backs on them" was reminiscent of the line from the 1972 song popular among some Vietnam veterans (including Senators Bob Kerrey and  John Kerry): "And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda/as they carried us down the gangway/but nobody cheered/they just stood there and stared/and then they turned all their faces aw"

thread_title: Question

message: The text "... to emphasize that the limit must hold in all directions θ." disconcerts me.
In general, 2D limits are much much stronger than simply having 1D limits hold in a collection of directions.
To wit: A function can have a complete set of directional derivatives through the origin, and yet be discontinuous at the origin.
An example specific to this case, we could define the following f with support only along a hyperbola on the complex plane, in terms of the Kronecker delta:
:f(a + bi) = \delta_{a,\frac1b} e^{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}
Observe that the limit of f(r e^{i\theta}) when r \to \infty for any given fixed \theta is zero, because the parameterized path only hits at most a single point of f's support!
We would therefore conclude that f has exponential type -\infty, or something else.
However, if we take the true 2D limit with \theta included and not fixed, then the limit is \infty, and the true exponential type of f is correctly determined to actually be one.
Now, from my reading of Exponential_type#Formal_definition, the 2D limit is what was intended, please correct me if I'm wrong.
One fix is to change the definition over to the more formal limit of |z| \to \infty.
Alternatively, we could just change it to "... the limit must hold in all directions θ at once." which hints at the 2D limit.
Thoughts?

Talk:Peggy Shannon

message: On her grave at Find-A-Grave it says 1910. Lincher 04:05, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Comment

message: There's something askew with these dates...
Peggy Shannon was a film and stage actress in the 1920s and 1930s. She was born Winona Sammon in Pine Bluff, Arkansas on January 10, 1910.
In 1923, at approximately age 17, Peggy becomes the latest edition to the Ziegfeld Follies.
Actually, both the 1910 and 1920 Censuses for Pine Bluff, Arkansas clearly state that she was born in 1907. That is actual documentation and proof that she was born in 1907. That should be sufficient evidence that would put the matter to rest. It does not take a  rocket scientist just to go and view both Censuses. How can you dispute two United States Federal Censuses? Actresses lied about their age all the time.````Stutzey (talk) 20:27, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  What's wrong with the math on this ?? 

message: There has been some dispute over what year she was born, exactly.
It is very likely that she lied about the year of her birth when she joined the Ziegfeld Follies. A newspaper from 1923 reported that she was 17, though that is false.
:Since it's highly unlikely there will be a definitive and final source for Shannon's DOB, I went ahead and stated 1910 as the year - sans the question mark - since that's what on her grave. Her other possible DOBs (1907 & 1909) are listed in prose in the article with a source. Pinkadelica♣ 07:16, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I have edited the article to read that Shannon's DOB was in fact 1907 because leaving the content as 1910 with a question mark while claiming the census states 1907 without bothering to cite it is nonsensical. While I haven't seen the census myself, there are various sources to back up the 1907 DOB which is sufficient. The article also states that other sources list her DOB as 1909 and 1910, so I believe this should cover all bases regarding this issue. Pinkadelica♣ 06:11, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

text: I didn't accuse you (or anyone else for that matter) of doing anything wrong so the "for your information" remark in the beginning of your post is wholly unneeded. I also didn't say you messed up the article - please do not put words in my mouth. I actually said that you removed content and did not cite the content you added properly. Big difference. Additional sources are rather moot at this point as there are already two different sources to support the current DOB.

Talk:Weitek

message: The Silicon Graphics Inc. "Power Challenge" multiprocessor (IP21) used a device as its Floating Point Unit ("R8010") that had been developed for SGI by Weitek. I strongly believe that the IP21 FPU was capable of handling double precision numbers. Marty Deneroff was the project chief and I'm sure could provide an accurate primary source account. I have no idea how secondary sources appropriate for a Wikipedia article can be found for such things.
The unusual thing about this FPU was that it was what we would now call "oven controlled". It worked reliably in a narrow temperature range and so in place of the thermal pad that one would have expected to find between the device package and the heat sink, we installed a heater and thermostat.

* changed avex trax/avex network links to point directly to the "avex trax" article instead of to the "avex records" redirect
