Talk:WiMAX MIMO

message: I believe MIMO WiMAX is a valid entry. What are Wikipedia rules for breaking up articles? The MIMO page brings various other entries together, therefore it can and should stand alone: WiMAX Forum, OFDMA, WiMAX RCT, RFIC, MIMO. This is not an article about OFDMA, WiMAX, or MIMO, or RFIC. It's about a specific variant of general technology in a huge market applied to a very specific type of use. If it were to be joined with any other entry, where would you join it? 
* i. WiMAX? WiMAX is NOT about RFIC. Or MIMO. WiMAX is about OFDMA and the mobile handset market. WiMAX is not a technology, 802.16 is.   
* ii. MIMO? MIMO in WiMAX has a special language and it's part of an emerging technology that brings OFDMA and MIMO together with RFIC. MIMO is much broader and it's market pervasiveness is thanks to the volumes in mobile handsets. 
* iii. Mobile Handset? So then what mobile handset technology would you place it under, CDMA, TDMA, OFDMA? 
* iv. IEEE 802.16d? IEEE 802.16e? IEEE 802.16m (new standard in development)? Clearly a base article entry that compares MIMO for WiMAX based on 16e / 16m and any future application is quite useful to a readership that is bound to be confused.
Wikipedia case history should provide some substance to this perspective. Here are some parallels:
* Where would you cover the PC, under "computers" or under "transistor" or under "windows"? None, it has earned it's own spot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_computer
* Then where would you put a specific type of PC, the Laptop? Under PC or MAC? Neither, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laptop
* Certainly powerful laptops like Apple's PowerBook generation are just a type laptop, right? No, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_replacement_computer
* And if Sony's laptop is a bit easier to carry around, is not just a small sized laptop? No, it's a whole different device: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraportable
Are these just technology fads that pressure how Wikipedia is structures? Try this one:
* Where would you put Beethoven, under "romantic era" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romantic_music) , "Vienna" or under "18th century composers"? No, it's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beethoven
* What about Beethoven's 9th symphony? Surely that's "too specific"? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._9_%28Beethoven%29  --Notbonbon 17:33, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:World Airways Flight 30

message: Supposed Fatalities? Source opinion blog "Ask the pilot"   "In fairness to the blog, the way it is expressed infers that it is nothing more than a passing opinion (and the author even states that the probability was that the 2 people in question did die), and it is therefore incorrect to be using this content in this Wikipedia article.--NiceDoge (talk) 14:45, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Exactly.  It appears to be unsubstantianted, so I undid the previous edit.  Particularly, I took issue with the statement, "Initial reports indicate that two passengers died.[5][6] However, no bodies were ever found and it is thought that the two passengers in question left the scene of the accident and were later found and arrested for defrauding World Airways."   Firstly, this statement implied that the 2 "faked" deaths is a fact, when there appears to be no supporting evidence fpr this.  Secondly, reading the contents of the cited reference for this statement says that it was conjecture, but probably the true version of events was that the 2 passengers had in fact died in the crash.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by NiceDoge (talk • contribs) 03:32, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I added a  to the somewhat neutral-ish bit about the two missing people surving. I removed "very shallow waters". Very shallow to me means something like 10 cm. (For Americans, half a foot.) If you look at the images linked at the bottom, the landig gears didn't collapse and the water is deeper than the length of the landig gears. The belly of the plane is in the water. I guess that would be something like 2 m of water. (Or 7 feet) AFAIS that water is deep enough to drown and for bodies to be washed away.

thread_title:  History 

message: Compound words form in mainly three different ways in Norse; with a noun prefix that is one of 1) the radix of the noun (often same form as accusative), 2) genitive singular of the noun or 3) genitive plural of the noun. "Deer point" would in those three instances be 1) Dýrnes, 2) Dýrsnes or 3) Dýranes.
Note that 3) is closest to the Gaelic version; but also that it has a double meaning, since "dýr" can also be the adjective "dear", "dýra" in its weak form. In Old Norse, the primary meaning of "dýr" is "precious" or "expensive" although its cognate, "dear", can often catch it. So Durness might even be Dýranes, meaning Dearness ...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by EliasHalldor (talk • contribs) 09:22, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Storage Module Device

message: I've added a section on the disk geometry of the 80Mb and 300Mb disks with which I was very familiar due to writing software to interact with these devices. I believe the 40Mb and 150Mb versions were identical but with 411 cylinders instead of 823 cylinders, and twice the cylinder spacing. However, I didn't use these lower density versions, so I'm less certain of their precise geometry. I also have a vague recollection that the 40Mb disk packs could be read but not written on 80Mb drives (possibly with driver support to double the cylinder address?)

thread_title: Disk Geometry

message: I see SMD meaning at least 3 things in the article and discussion:
1. In the minicomputer world of the 80's SMD was used largely to talk about the drive interface.
2. Many of drives and later interface-compatible drives by non-CDC manufacturers shared common geometry or common geometry factors (9760, 9762, 9764, 9766). (Although at the very end they just gave up on trying to be backwards-geometry compatible.)
3. Some are using this as a jumping off point for discussion CDC products that were not actually SMD (e.g. the Lark).
Perhaps it would be wise to split it up: 
A: a page on the SMD interface (both CDC and later non-CDC but SMD interface) and how it was a common denominator for many 70's and 80's era drives and minicomputers. The archetypal CDC and non-CDC (e.g.: Fujitsu Eagle, which already has its own Wikipedia page) drives would be hyperlinked.
and
B: a page for the CDC drives (some, but not all of which used the SMD interface) and their technologies (which is where the Lark discussion would go).
Even though CDC originated the SMD interface, the interface was important far beyond CDC's product line, and I don't think the current article has that pervading it as much as it should. Similarly the CDC SMD drives used and developed many technologies that were important beyond their particular SMD interface (this would be related to the removable pack and calibration subthread.)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by N3QE (talk • contribs) 23:41, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

message: The second external link article says that there are collectors who keep this species in captivity. If they are as easy to breed as green anoles, there's no way that they could become extinct. They could become extinct in the wild, but not extinct.
Also, why is it illegal for pet shops to breed and sell these? Legalizing this would be a 100% guaranteed way to save them from extinction. Grundle2600 (talk) 14:45, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Incorrect, on all three accounts. First, the second link says that it has been considered to bring some into captivity, i.e. future, not present. Secondly, depending on your country of residence, it may very well be legal to keep this species (i.e. nothing to legalize), considering that it is not listed on CITES. Third, no, it would certainly not "be a 100% guaranteed" way of saving them from extinction. These are not green anoles, and you (or anyone else for that matter) have no way of knowing how easy or difficult it would be to keep them in captivity. Considering that they already have become quite rare and apparently have difficulties when dealing with introduced predators, it can only be assumed that they are much, much harder to keep than green anoles (which is a highly adaptable and consequently easy to keep in captivity). 212.10.70.113 (talk) 04:29, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
