thread_title:  PostScript 

message: I think the example illustration would be much clearer if it weren't also antialiased. i.e. show non-antialiased/non-hinted vs non-antialiased/hinted.
It's also worth going through the 4 permutations (on a small display):
* non-antialiased, non-hinted  → usually horrible, looks "spidery" (except for bitmap fonts at native resolution)
* antialiased, non-hinted → marginal improvement on antialiased/non-hinted.
* non-antialiased, hinted → very sharp and clear, but unfaithful to the glyph outlines. Some people (including myself) find this most readable.
* antialiased, hinted → clear and smooth. Most people prefer this look, but some find it makes the fonts look blurry and hard to focus on, resulting in eye-strain.
* subpixel-rendering increases smoothness (making hinting less necessary), but adds colour-fringing, which some viewers dislike.

Talk:Little Mountain (South Carolina)

message: Little Mountain, South Carolina has more stories than just the geographic rising of a monadnock.  For its residents were risen there themselves (just like the mountain) to a bit of, though mostly local, acclaim.  Just because their stories are tucked off the beaten path away behind the haze of the small, simple, and long forgotten, does not give them the meaning of insignificance or disinterest.  For it is in the small towns created by some unusual type freak of nature, that people clamor together for the usualness of life and find the small and everyday to be so useful to their meaning that it becomes the central theme that weaves together and creates strong sturdying lessoned lives.  For in Little Moutain, it is certain that people look up to a higher cause.  And it is more than just the mountain that causes their gaze to go higher, for through their loyal worship of the simple, while the world moves on in complicated progressivenss, there is at least a singular simple lesson, and quite possibly through the straightforwardnes of quite common sense more...much more...that others look back and find they have have left behind and lack because of the lose.  For in the average and everyday, cleary seen by unobstruction of a mass of  modern "emenities", the simple life stands firm at the base holding up the mountain so that it reaches a natural stature and stands tall and reaches high as evidence it is superior -- just like the Little Moutain.    
That being so, please share your stories, if you are a resident, about your view of and from Little Mountain.

Talk:MOS-controlled thyristor

message: An Improved PSpice Model for the MOS Controlled Thyristor
by Goce L. Arsov, Ljupco P. Panovski
Abstract - MOS controlled thyristors (MCT) are a new class of power semiconductor devices that combine thyristor current and voltage capabilities with MOS gated turn-on and turn-off. The PSpice model for the MOS controlled thyristor, capable to simulate the breakover and breakdown characteristics of an MCT and to work properly at high frequencies, is proposed in this paper. The model is quite simple and it presents the MCT characteristics during turn-on and turn-off. It is derived from the two transistor equivalent circuit of the MCT by expanding the SCR model presented in the references. The gate control section consisted of a PMOS and an NMOS is modelled using simple RC circuits for controlling the turn on and turn off times and with simple diodes (DPMOS and DNMOS) to isolate the operation of the MOSFET's in such manner that the triggering pulse of one polarity activates only one FET. The turn off capabilities of the PNPN structure in the MCT model are enabled using the voltage controlled switch SP. The switch is n ormally "ON" (VON is set to 0 V, and VOFF to -10 V) and is only used for turning the MCT off. This way, the breakover and breakdown voltages will be dependent only on the diode characteristics included in the model. In order to test the modified model characteristics extensive simulations have been performed (some essential results are presented in the paper). The complete PSpice input listing for the simulation results are given in the Appendix. The comparative simulations have been performed using the PSpice model for P-type MCT (MCTV75P60E1 - Harris Semiconductor Corporation) available on Internet. The model has passed all performed tests and can be used to analyze various types of MCT power converters. All simulations have been performed using the PSpice evaluation version 5.0a and its inherent method of integration.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ArizonaWeird (talk • contribs).

Talk:List of Major League Baseball single-season triples leaders

message: *How come nobody ever talks about the "triples" records in the list of "unbreakable" baseball records.  Noone's ever going to match the records of 309 in a career or 36 in a season. You can talk all you want about DiMaggio's 56-game hit streak or Ryan's 5700+ strikeouts, but the triples records will NEVER NEVER EVER be broken.
**That's probably true, but all the records are from a very different era in baseball. If you notice, almost all of the triples records were set before 1900. Plus, even pre-1900 triples were fairly rare occurrences, even more today. As a result, triples records don't garner the following that more common occurrences like strikeouts or hits receive (though personally, I'm a big fan of the triple). I am hoping Granderson can bring some love back for the triple though. benwildeboer  D(talk - contribs) 18:34, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
