message: In 1849 Jacob founded the City of Waco, Texas as well as the cities of West and others in central Texas. He traveled to Europe in the 1840-50's giving speaches and making arrangements for settlers to move to his land in Texas. He is credited with bringing the first cotton gin to Texas. There is a historical marker on the Brazos river next to the Waco Suspension bridge in down town Waco Today and he is featured as "The Land Merchant of Texas" in the Bob Bullock Story of Texas Museum in Austin, TX. He wrote the book "Texas, Her Resources and Public Men" in 1847 and commissioned one of the first accurate maps of the state of Texas. He was orginally buried in Grandview, TX but in 1931 he and his wife's remains were moved to the Republic of Texas Cemetery in Austin, TX. Carldec (talk) 06:01, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Zen (portable media player)

message: Can someone confirm .avi playback with this player? I recently bought one and have had zero success transferring .avi files to this particular player. It is an 8GB model, and the files I have tried to transfer were encoded in wither MPEG4 Version 2 or XviD. I just got off the phone with technical support and they said that it does not support .avi files.

message: The SD card integration isnt poor, its just not what people were expecting. People wanted the memory cards to function as a "RAM expansion pack", and not a totally seperate disk. Creative decided that they should function as a totally seperate disk and not as a "RAM expansion pack". Thus, people think its crappy. 
PS: If you look at the Zen as a computer, and the SD card was originally designed to function as a way to copy photos or to play an audio book stored on a Multimedia Card, then the SD card integration isnt poor.

Talk:Platinum silicide

message: This compound contains platinum, a very pricey metal!
If the cost is "reasonable", then such indicates either that 
(1) not much is necessary for its application (example, gold leaf, even if such use is counterintuitive), 
(2) the material is far superior in its performance for its use, or
(3) alternatives have undesirable properties (toxicity, chemical instability, unsuitability due to electrical properties, such mechanical weaknesses as brittleness or an undesired melting point) for some applications. 
If this substance were available as a mineral, it would likely be decomposed for its platinum. Besides, were it the first substance suitable to its stated use,  chemists would seek less costly substitutes.
As a rule, industrial chemists are more likely to seek uses for inexpensive substances for mass use than to seek unusual uses for costly ones. For example, if an iron silicide (iron is one of the cheapest metals to procure) had similar properties (not that such is true) -- then wouldn't it be put to use instead? 
Some clarification is necessary.

message: Hello:  
The page currently begins by stating that LSMA had a middle school, a junior high school, and a senior high school.  That is incorrect.  LSMA solely operated grades 9 through 12.

In the 1970s through the 2000s, they operated an pre-cadet English Language Center for Latin American students who wished to learn English.

My comment on the word "mero" is an example. (Also, the "Biografia" article used as a reference is not well-written, it seems to me.

thread_title: Oppose deletion

message: If any additional criticisms can be included, a notable one would be to suggest that Thiering's writings might have served as an academic justification for fiction books like the Da Vinci Code. Most scholars have thoroughly refuted Dan Brown's suggestion that Jesus married Mary Magdalene, and yet this is exactly what Thiering is talking about in her book Jesus the Man. It could probably be mentioned as an example of neo-Gnostic doctrine that accidentally appears within certain marginal strands of post-modern scholarship. ADM (talk) 15:58, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If you are suggesting that this book did not influence Dan Brown, you must take it up with him.

message: I'm adding the misleading tag because of the implementation of a time-stamping protocol that is described in the "Creating a timestamp" and "Checking a timestamp" sections, as well as in the diagrams.
Even though it would be a correct implementation, it is *not* RFC 3161 (by far the most widely used implementation of trusted time-stamping), or any existing implementation that I know of.
I think this is misleading as people could believe this is RFC 3161 and this could hinder their understanding of this standard.
I suggest these paragraphs and diagrams be replaced by a similar description (in terms of language, scope and length) of RFC 3161.
