Talk:Sarah Hughes

message: No offense to Sarah Hughes, but just looking at her, I highly doubt that weight statistic is correct. 5'5" and 93 lbs?? Could someone double check that? Lulu288 17:06, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've been removing from some articles weights that are unsourced and undated, because weight, unlike height, can fluctuate. And since Hughes hasn't competed in years, I don't think it's 1) relevant, and 2) verifiable. I'm being bold and removing it from this article as well. Kolindigo 17:18, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

message: So, I found this one peoplepill.com article, and this whole Wikipedia-article is a literal word by word copy of it, and because apparently for some reason peoplepill.com can't be used as a source in Wikipedia, how will I mark all these citations.

thread_title: First post

message: Why is .dds good for storing cubic environment maps, particularly? Is it merely that the format can store several images as one file? And why does the fact that it's used for storing textures make it useful for storing S3TC compressed data? The "makes" part of that doesn't follow. Maybe the point is just that the format allows S3TC compression... in which case it's the other way round: The format allows this kind of compression, which (by design) makes it useful for storing textures. (I'd reword this, but I've never used .dds and I'm not confident I got my facts right.) Card Zero (talk) 18:58, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's usefulness comes from being a standard way of storing such information. That gives you an interoperability advantage and I believe that modern GPUs can consume .dds files natively, meaning you don't have to do any conversion before sending it to the graphic hardware. I suspect this is true for consoles as well.--Anss123 (talk) 21:10, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  OK, I thought about that a bit and swapped half of one sentence with half of the other, seems to work better. I also put in what you said about GPUs and consoles consuming DDS natively, although if I was really diligent I'd have found a citation for that, and I didn't. My statement that the hardware can "decompress" the data is a guess, for all I know it doesn't even need to (well, presumably it does, but the process is dead simple, which is the point of the format. "Fixed-rate data compression coupled with the single memory access", says the S3TC article). Card Zero (talk) 08:23, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

message: In this edit, User:Melchior2006 is back to mass deletion of content from school articles. This time it's about a rather unique integrated Deaf and Hard of Hearing Program at Governor Livingston High School that is a fundamental and unique program offered at the school. Governor Livingston offers American Sign Language as a "world language" course to general education students to uniquely enable non-deaf students to communicate with their deaf peers. All of this was already backed up by reliable and verifiable sources, and new sources were added to back up the details of the program. Melchior2006 has stubbornly refused to get consensus for their changes and I am here to stop the mass deletion of content before it starts all over again. Let's see if there is anyone who agrees with the stance of Melchior2006 that material about the integrated ASL program for both deaf and non-deaf students should be deleted.

message: This is pretty strong stuff to not have a source: 
"In 1994, the printing plant of the Samoa Observer burned down under suspicious circumstances. It was later revealed during the investigation of the assassination of Minister of Works Luagalau Levaula Kamu that Minister of Women's Affairs Leafa Vitale, a former Minister of Works, had arranged the burning of the printing plant. Before the burning of the printing plant, the paper had run a story linking Leafa to a scandal involving the sale of cattle, after which the then Minister of Works had threatened to kill Savea and his family.
