message: -- I don't have the DVD commentary of Van Helsing, but this line
"It is hinted in the DVD commentary to "Van Helsing" that he has a hole in his chest that allows him to shove objects through it, the most notable of these being the sword he impales himself on at the beginning of the movie. "
is patently ridiculous. Could someone look into it? Perhaps the author has misinterpreted some random quote or the other.

Talk:British Rail Class 421

message: I would like to add a paragraph like this:
The original units were coded 4-CIG and 4-BIG. As with the earlier 4-COR, 4-CEP, 4-BUF and 4-BEP units, the "C" denoted "corridor", and the "B" denoted "buffet". The letters "IG" are the old LBSCR telegraphic code for Brighton. Under TOPS, 4-CIG became 421, and 4-BIG became 420; the latter was amended to 422 in 1984.

Since I'm a linguist who's picked up a few words in most Western languages, I could not help noticing a factual error:  The Greek for "pleasure" is hedone (as in hedonism).  Voluptas does mean "pleasure", but it is a Latin word (not Greek).    Because the "Cupid and Psyche" tale is known mainly from Ovid's writing, it makes sense that he would name Psyche's daughter in his native language.  ISNorden 16:22, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

* People who ride these machines are known for their courteous, safe motorcycling, and penchant for wearing complete safety gear. (this sentence really needs a ref. or to be deleted).

Talk:Dejah Thoris

message: Pronunciation
can anybody supply a pronounciation for her name? it isn't obvious for those with english as a secondary language...
:I'm not sure Burroughs ever provided one, and the conventions of pronunciation in the Barsoomian language would not necessarily be the same as those in English. But since the spelling is purportedly that of the English-speaking John Carter, we can probably assume that the name would be pronounced according to English conventions. That would give us a Dejah with vowel sounds consisting of a short E (or perhaps long A) in the first syllable followed by a short O sound in he second. As for the consonents, they would be the normal D and English J (that is, the same as a soft G, not the Y sound of German and other languages), with a final silent H. Thoris would have the soft (not the hard) TH sound; the or would be pronounced as in the English word or, and the is with a short I and normal S (not Z). BPK 19:14, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sources 

message: For as long as I could remember and probably since before I was born, there was a large bookshop there, housed in a maze-like series of rooms with creaking floorboards. It was an Ipswich landmark. There were a pair of identical twins on the staff. Then all of a sudden, in the late eighties I think, overnight this shop selling plastic kitchen stuff suddenly appeared in its place!!!!!! A very retrograde step if you ask me - the council should have subsidised the bookshop's rent to allow them to continue. I'm not sure if Ipswich has a bookshop anymore - shame! There was also a historic chapel in the roof (I think) of the bookshop that you could ask to see, although I never did. This article could be linked to other similar buildings in Ipswich - such as the ancient merchant's house next to the docks. Next to the Custom House was or is a signboard that shows where several of these historic  buildings in the area are, and they are not yet mentioned in Wikipedia. 80.2.194.116 (talk) 21:54, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Third formulation

message: "To have a computer one hundred times as powerful as a modern PC the owner would need to pay only ten times as much" can't possibly be an accurate interpretation: it would imply that it would be cost-effective to get 9 of your friends to pool resources with you to buy a "supercomputer", and rent out time slices to 90 other people.  The original quote is in terms of "economy" and is a bit harder to comprehend than if it were in terms of "cost": the problem here is probably the confusion between price and value (to the user).  #Law_applied_to_clusters also alludes to the absurdity of the economy-of-scale interpretation.  The most charitable I can be here is to note that "if ... you should expect" carries an ambiguity: between prediction and reciprocity.
The way I read the original, the law states a constraint on cost-effectiveness, not a causal relation between price and performance.  A better interpretation might be, "If a computer costs 10 times more, you should only buy it if it is also at least 100 times faster."  Bernd Jendrissek (talk) 23:30, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
