Talk:Optical filter

message: Removed this from the ND filters section:
: If such filters are dark enough, they can make looking at the sun safe (don't try this without expert advice!).
Since this is really awful advice. Most ND filters don't block mid-IR very well, so if you look at the sun with them, you're risking cataracts. (You need something like welder's goggles to block MIR). -- DrBob 18:29, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Stuff removed

message: I was looking for information about what a positive vs. negative filter would be.  It surprised me that nothing touching on that aspect appeared in this article.  I am pretty sure this applies to optics, in the way of filters that would either remove a certain color of light, or every other color.

thread_title:  Definition of positive vs. negative filter? 

message: I know there is one type of bandpass filter not mentioned here (unfortunately I can't recall the name of it) which is based on scattering. A cuvette is filled with e.g. glass powder and liquid matching the refractive index of the glass at the desired passband. At the pass wavelength this mixture will be clear transmitting the light. At other wavelengths the mixture will be turbid due to the refractive index contrast and light will be scattered. Since only part of the light will be backscattered it is probably advisable to introduce dissipative mechanisms e.g. by making the edges black. In order to be efficient and get a narrow passband the refractive index contrast must grow significant outside the passband which it will if the dispersion is different for the two media as is often the case. The temperature coefficient of the two media will also often differ which means that the passband can be tuned by changing the temperature. Om the slopes of the passband the filter would be semiturbid which would reduce its applicability to certain purposes.150.227.15.253 (talk) 15:02, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Dorsal fin, the predecessor of tailfin? 

message: Should vertical taillights really be considered a tailfin "comeback"?  That's more of a Cadillac tradition than tailfin-inspired styling at this point.   Moreover, there's no sources provided to back up the claims that Cadillac's looking to evoke the idea of tailfins with their taillight design - they don't really stick out or stick up.  If they were trying to bring back tailfins, don't you think that'd be obvious in the car's body lines as well? 
Finally, I'd make the argument that Cadillac never stopped making cars with vertical tailfins.  The section on this article claims that vertical taillights were brought back after 1999.  This is simply untrue - the tenth-gen Eldorado (1992-2002) always had vertical taillights.  The 7th-gen Deville (94-99) also had vertical taillights, complete with small vestigial tailfins!  I'd say this section needs to be deleted or at least rewritten.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.231.224.19 (talk) 03:40, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Wyoming Territory

message: The article correctly mentions that the territory's motto was CEDANT ARMA TOGAE, which, by the way, is a quotation from Cicero’s De officiis, book 1, chapter 77. However, the inscription below the coat of arms depicted in the box to the right reads OEDANT ARMA TOGA, which is pure nonsense. According to the copyright note the Wyoming territory's coat of arms was created by Henry Mitchell in 1876 and “restored“ for Wikipedia by user Godot13. So either Henry Mitchell got it wrong in the first place (which is not very likely, given the official purpose of his work) or user Godot13 simply transcribed (or “restored“) what he believed the spelling was, though obviously without speaking Latin himself. 92.79.101.164 (talk) 15:52, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  in-line vs. inline 

message: "The added variables from the inlined procedure may consume additional registers, and in an area where register pressure is already high this may force spilling, which causes additional RAM accesses."
I think this statement should be removed or detailed, because a call to the non-inlined function would have the same issues regarding register allocation. A compiler that would get things worse would certainly be a very bad compiler, in my opinion. And inlining often reduce the number of variables used, either by dead code reduction and constant propagation, or by the added liberties in code transformations (e.g. some temporary result in the called function could be computed earlier in the calling function, at a time where more registers are available, although it might be a rare case).

thread_title:  Plea for help 

message: You can get it working with the PCMCIA slot and Windows XP.  It seems that the Rex installation software gets fooled by high COM port numbers in a system.  What you need to do is to carry out installation normally, until you get to the stage when you plug in your Rex into the slot and the Rex software cannot find it.  At this point, you go to the registry editor and look for references to Rex and somewhere there is the COM port where the Rex should be looked for.  You need to manually edit the port number to the one that represents your PCMCIA slot.  In my recollection, I needed to change COM3 or something that the Rex installer put there by COM8.  From that point on, everything should work normally.  
With the serial port and cradle, I had no installation problems under XP.  In either arrangement, I synchronize the Rex with Outlook.
