Talk:Disillusionment of Ten O'Clock

message: Scott5114 removed the text of this poem because of copyright concerns. I reinserted the text, because fair use permits quotation as part of discussion, such as scholarly commentary. Whole poems are regularly quoted in books and journals, so there is ample precedent. Although the poem in question belongs to a book protected by copyright for several more years, copyright doesn't interfere with fair use. The book can't be reprinted without consent of the copyright holder, but parts of it can be reprinted without securing consent. The courts recognize the need to protect not only owners of copyright but also journalists, teachers, scholars, etc., and fair-use law is how they do that.  There is uncertainty about the length of quotations that can be justified by fair use, but individual short poems like most of those in Harmonium are clearly short enough because the poems that create the precedent are of comparable length. (The page for one of the longer poems, "Le Monocle de Mon Oncle", includes only a short canto.) The law changes of course, and it may narrow free use just as (notoriously) it has lengthened copyright. (Lawrence Lessig fought for a more reasonable decision and lost, as he describes in his must-read book Free Culture.) Legal shrinkage of fair use hasn't happened yet. We should be happy about that and vigorously assert our fair-use rights. A page like "Disillusionment of Ten O'Clock" does its modest bit. Rats 07:39, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Talk:Korowa Anglican Girls' School

message: Currently the article reads: "The land was the former property of the Hon. William Knox, MHR, known as Ranfurlie" which apparently states that Knox was known as Ranfurlie.

Talk:Operation Sea Eagle

message: I don't understand the timeline of this piece.
The US did not join the war until December 1941 and then only did so because Hitler declared war on it. In the period before September 1941 there was no plan at all to station US troops in Northern Ireland. The US refused to join the war, leaving Britain to do all the fighting. So how could the Germans fear that American troops based in Northern Irelands would invade the South? And give America's long record of financing IRA terrorism against the UK, why would the South be a target? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.9.52.174 (talk • contribs) 08:04, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Cockayne (surname)

message: Not sure why William Cockayne was deleted from this page.  Admittedly, W. Cockayne was a minor historical figure, but he was a significant person in 17th century London and is mentioned in various historical texts.  The reason I created a disambiguation page for "Cockayne" and this surname page is because I was initially searching for information on W. Cockayne and was being redirected to an utterly irrelevant page on a book called "The Complete Peerage" edited by George Cokayne.  Granted, W. Cockayne doesn't have an article yet, but he is almost certainly a more important figure than either Ben Cockayne or David Cockayne, a rugby player and Oxford professor respectively, who will almost certainly be virtually forgotten in a century.

Talk:Heads up, seven up

message: I've never heard of the thumbs up rule for Seven Up which is on the main page. 
When we played in my old elementary school we just had to put our heads down on the desk and if someone picked you, you have to raise your hand. And after the picking was done, the teacher would say "Heads up, seven up. Stand up if you got picked!".
Can this alternate method be posted on the entry page?

Talk:Persistence (computer science)

message: "Orthogonal persistence has never featured in commercially used programming languages" is just plain false. Perl, for one, provides it with the "opendbm" mechanism for presenting an on-disk key/value file using the same interface as the language's in-memory associative arrays, which was later generalized into Perl's "tie" interface, which provides a framework for transparent persistence for all of Perl's data types.

thread_title:  I dispute: "Orthogonal persistence has never featured in commercially used programming languages." 

message: This definition was removed because it is based on concepts more advanced than Persistence itself:
"Persistence is said to be "orthogonal" or "transparent" when the data model is independent of the length of time for which the data persists. Data created in a high-level, typed programming language is caused to outlive the execution of that process by the identification of an external frame of reference to which it can be bound, but without the requirement to translate the data into a different semantic context. The same data may be subsequently bound by a different process, via reference to the same point of binding, again without the requirement to perform any translation. If the persistence is purely orthogonal, then the semantics of the re-bound data is indistinguishable from its semantics in any other execution context."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.206.121.191 (talk) 03:50, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Secure Shell/to do

message: * The article is very technical and strongly relies on the knowledge of all underlying concepts to understand what ssh is. Start the article with an introduction of what ssh is which is more readable and move the current definition into a section called "definition".
* Introduce how ssh can use public-key cryptography to enable a user to use passphrase-locked private keys in order to open a ssh connection. Currently there is a section "How it works - by analogy" at the end, but there is a gap because it's never explained how public-key cryprography is used in ssh, so this section should either be removed or (preferably) be embedded in an explanation how the concept of public-key crytography is used in ssh.
** Renamed the section now to "How ssh uses public-key cryptography (with analogy)" and cleaned it up a bit. For example, I replaced the references to the reader using "You" and "Your" with "the user" and "the user's". It still needs more improvement to be understandable by someone who does not know ssh at all.
*** As far as I see, in that paragraph the basics of pulic key cryptography are described by analogy, but nothing's said about how ssh uses this principle to identify the user. I would recommand that this paragraph be removed (Or maybe moved to p.k.c.) and be written from scrach (if someone wants it), if you asked for my single honest opinion.
****PLEASE, get rid of this paragraph. It is horribly written and offers a pitifully simplistic analogy for the sake of accessibility. There is nothing special about SSH's use of public-key cryptography, so rather than a bad intro to public-key crypto, let's just send the reader to its proper article? I would erase this paragraph but I tried once and got reverted. Alg8662 06:45, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
