thread_title: Day count convention

message: What is the fair value of a bond? Including accrued interest or excluding acccrued interest?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.173.163.2 (talk) 15:32, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Fair Value

message: The formula given on the page is incorrect, at least for Coupon-paying bonds. It should be:
I_A = \frac{T_D}{T_P} \times C_A
where T_D is the number of days between the last coupon and the transaction settlement date,
T_P is the number of days in the period and
C_A is the coupon amount.
That is taken from: reference cited on the page

Talk:A3D

message: This article claims that, "Creative Labs sued Aureal in 2000, but lost," while in the Creative Labs article, it states; "The legal battle with Aureal over Creative's infringement of their high-quality 3D audio patents (5,596,644 and 5,802,180). Creative lost this battle, but the legal fees ended up putting Aureal in a poor financial position." I'm changing the text in this A3D article, based on the statement from the Creative Labs article.
That works.  The dates for the suit are wrong too; fixed.  And removed the reference to A3D being "harder to code" -- both subjective ("free" software that isn't truly free/open source isn't any easier to use than proprietary, as it all depends on the API, and on those grounds, DirectX didn't have the foresight to include a resource manager like A3D 1.0 had until DX7) and a non sequitur in its implication to the demise of A3D (as Aureal had already declared bankruptcy a year before, and been bought out by Creative half a year before, the "early 2001" listed date).

thread_title:  Aureal/Creative Labs lawsuit 

message: "While Creative Labs has not chosen to support the A3D API, the underlying advanced features of A3D technology is making its way into Creative Labs' newer EAX incarnations."Anyone got a citation for this? It's been seven years since Creative acquired (stole) Aureal's IP and I can find no evidence that any of this technology has found its way into EAX, which remains a simple reverb engine. --DrFod 03:48, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Depressing, isn't it?  I used A3D back in 1999 with Half-life/Counter-Strike and it was phenominal.  EAX still seems to lack real ray-tracing-like audio plotting, which is *the* crucial technology.  Creative's effectively monopoly in the sound card field is ruining the market.

Talk:Northeastern University

message: * What I think should be changed:
The abbreviation should be NU and never NEU.
* Why it should be changed:
The official branding for Northeastern University has been NU for over a decade. NEU as an abbreviation was phased out before 2013. 
While an ever-decreasing number of items still reference NEU in names rather than NU, the official stance for over a decade has been to use NU for the abbreviations.
Additionally, there is a separate, unaffiliated Northeastern University in China which goes by NEU. This university leans heavily into the NEU abbreviation, using it on all of their materials.
Keeping the US-based Northeastern University abbreviated as NU brings it into alignment with the official guidelines of over a decade and assists in clarifying between it and the China-based Northeastern University.
* References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button):
2013 archive showing Northeastern University encouraging use of NU
Official Northeastern University branding guide explicitly saying to not use NEU
Official brand guidelines showing to use NU, not NEU
The official site China-based Northeastern University uses the NEU abbreviation as their primary top-level domain
The Chinese NEU Being referred to as NEU in higher education publications

text: Please discuss and get consensus or provide reliable sources (preferably secondary sources) that show NU is used more commonly than NEU.

The text of the scam in the current article was added on August 13, 2007 (although different versions had been in previously), and it remained unchallenged until it was blanked without explanation on August 3, 2015 -- nearly eight years later. It stood again for five months until you removed it yesterday as "vandalism" -- which we both agree it is not. So how has it "caused multiple misunderstandings"? The last discussion about it on this page was in December 2007.
