Talk:Matt Pinfield

message: Anyone know his birthday, year and all?
May 31st, 1960.
:His MySpace says he is 41 as of June 2007, but he was actually born in 1960 and is 47.
::The birth year currently on this article and on myspace as referenced above is clearly incorrect.  I'm his friend on Facebook (although I do not know him IRL) and, based on photos I have access to, he attended his 30th high school reunion last year.  Included are photos of signs welcoming the Class of 1979.  Based on that, he should have been born around 1961.  Also, I have cassette tapes of him on his college radio station from 1980 or 1981, which matches up with the reunion info.  As this is all my OR, I am not changing the article, just leaving these notes here.  -- But|seriously|folks  21:29, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Article

message: I was on the HMAS Brisbane (1991-1993) and I suspect calling it D41 (and the other destroyers Dxx) is not correct, as we always called it DDG41. Is there anything to verify this naming convention? Lmb71 (talk) 08:46, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Ross Gillet's Australian and New Zealand Warships since 1946 gives "D" as the pennant identifier for all three ships. While Brisbanes history does not appear on the Navy website, the page for sister ship Hobart gives "D39" (see the infobox and the placard in the photo of the launching ceremony). Although DDG was both the US Navy hull code for ships of this type and the shorthand for the particular class (DDG is a lot easier on the tongue than "Charles F. Adams class guided missile destroyer"), at the time the Perths entered Australian service, the RAN was still fairly wed to the British pennant system. Things may have changed by the time you served on Brisbane (by which point the RAN had migrated to a identification system based on the US hull number system and we were operating the definitely-FFG Adelaides) but the ships spent at least the early part of their careers without the extra "DG".  -- saberwyn 09:34, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Erroneous Link to RN Acheron Class 

message: Iv'e been researching this class as part of writing an article for Acheron class destroyer. From what I have so far the first three ships of this class ( Yarra, Warrego, Parramatta) were laid down and completed as Acherons, transferred to the RAN and made the journey to Australia, rather than being dissasembled and re-assembled later (this seems beyond the shipbuilding capabilities of the time to me). The technical specifications available here and elsewhere agree with this, they certainly aren't River or E class ships. According to my sources three Yarrow-built specials were ordered to replace these 3 ships that were never completed for the RN.
If I am right here, this article needs to be updated accordingly, linked in with the Acheron article when I complete it, and be disambigauted from the RN Rivers. Emoscopes Talk 05:23, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

File talk:Viewfromtitan.jpg

message: The images is visually pleasing, but there are several scientific errors that should be stated here on the talk page. Saturn isn't visible from the surface of Titan, except in some thin infrared wavelengths. And even then, the rings would be much harder to spot, as Titan's orbit isn't inclined enough to resolve anything more then a line bisecting Saturn in two. The scene is also much too bright. Look at the photos from Huygens. It landed around noon, and it's very dark for midday isn't it? The sun in your image is much lower in the sky, so if anything, it should be almost Pitch Black. Finally, those mountains are very steep. Most of Titan's surface seen so far is quite flat. I don't expect you to change your image to reflect this, I just want to inform the average user who visits this page that if they really went to Titan, they wouldn't see anything like this. Again, I just want to say, the image is real nice looking, and you must have worked hard on this surreal scene, and I commend you, just that it's not reality. (This is the sort of thing I do, replacing bad science (but good art) with good science (but boring reality). :) --Planetary 08:15, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The Telegraph article only states that the 2013 interview that Jane Fellowes gave to Lady Magazine is the first time that she has spoken to the press since Diana's death. It does not confirm that she is the only family member who never gave an interview. Also, the subject of the Lady Magazine interview was a charity named Only Connect, and it has nothing at all about Diana. Lady Jane's own life is not described other than her charitable work. So in my opinion the first two sentences of this section ought to be struck as unsourced. EdJohnston (talk) 17:12, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Truism 

message: While OLE Automation or just Automation might be the right overall term from a technical point of view, and ActiveX is just a piece of this, you should take into consideration what kind of information the average user is actually looking for.
For most users, the term ActiveX is well known, but if you mention OLE Automation they have no idea of what you’re talking about, nor will they be interested in knowing anything more about it either. All they want to know is what is ActiveX, is it safe, what does it do, and when can it be trusted?
I’m not saying that ActiveX should be by its own, but do take into consideration that elements that most people (average users) encounters regularly and thus wants more information about, should be made more easily accessible than other things that, even if they are equally or more important, is not known to the average user.
So, of the information about ActiveX is just as easy to find for someone that have little or no knowledge abut computers when placed under OLE Automation, then go for it. And if you do, test your mother or grand father or what ever, se if they are able to find information about ActiveX on Wikipedia. If not, it is too difficult.

I have no idea what that even means, and no reference is given for the laypeople, such as myself.
-- Not sure how long ago you posted this. Sounds like these tests were sub-orbital meaning they didn't achieve an orbit, just went up and came back down. (I am basing this off how high they went and still carried a decent size payload to record stuff). Also the notation is probably just copied and pasted from the source. I see a lot of older papers and charts that think have a space instead of a comma for large numbers (1,000 vs 1 000).
