Talk:Dairou

message: I've never seen Dairou's fatalities or hara-kiris, could somebody add that in?PNF 03:01, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fatalities 

message: I've made a small but important edit to the Trivia section, noting that (a) Darrius is NOT the man who killed Dairou's family and (b) Darrius has NOT specifically contracted Dairou to kill Hotaru. My reasoning behind point (a) is thus; Through careful reading of Darrius' and Dairou's biographies from MK: Deception, it's clear that Darrius hired an assassin to kill Dairou's family, knowing that Dairou would kill that guy in retaliation (which he does) and thus Darrius could easily recruit him into the Resistance (which is what happens, in a way). Although partially responsible, Darrius did not directly kill Dairou's family and I think it's best if that were pointed out. My reasoning behind point (b) is thus; While it is very likely Darrius could have paid Dairou to take out Hotaru, it's not specifically mentioned he did. Hotaru has more enemies (such as Havik or an enemy of Onaga) who could have paid Dairou to kill him. So until more decisive evidence pops up, I think it's best to leave it a bit more open. Minty Fresh Death 23:26, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: To be fair, there's no proof that Darrius really had anything to do with the murder of Dairou's family. It's only speculation. I think we should change where it says Darrius hired someone to kill Dairou's family to that it is thought that Darrius hired someone to kill Dairou's family. I'll change that. If anyone has any proof that Darrius did it, feel free to mention it here and change it back. Lorilei Mackenzie 04:25, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: OK so I know such things are purely subjective and could be defined almost any way but really, presenting a list of actors who have appeared and saying they are well known would imply that they are, by and large, actually well known.  There could be many definitions for well known but I think a fairly reasonable one would be anyone who has their own Wikipedia article might be well known.  I have been a fan of TV and Movies since the 1960's and feel I am fairly well informed regarding show business and more to the point, people who appear in front of the camera and I only recognize about 20% of the names on the list.  About a third don't have their own Wikipedia articles.  Let's use as a benchmark, any actor who has their own Wikipedia article gets to be on the list.  But I won't attempt a change unless at least two other people or a majority of respondents post here that they agree with this definition for "well known."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.144.213.97 (talk) 01:02, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

message: This article seems to be borrowing quite a bit from the Wolfram Alpha website. I hesitate to use the term plagiarism since, for all we know, Mr. Wolfram himself may have added the material here.

thread_title:  Necessity 

message: Does the book actually suggest that the projectiles are fired at near-lightspeed?  A few rough calculations suggest that a single 3mm round fired at half of lightspeed would send a 100kg firer moving backwards at more than mach 1 - or, more likely, rip their arms off.
If the book contains such a statement, it needs a comment on its implausibility.  If it doesn't, it needs to be removed from the article. --Khajja 10:03, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I haven't read the book in about two years. I think Stephenson describes the projectiles as moving at "hypersonic" speeds, which clearly is not the same as "near lightspeed". I have a copy handy, so I will take a look as soon as I get a chance, and find the exact quote. – Mipadi 14:46, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  As noted in the article, the gun is described as "hypervelocity". On page 338, one character describes it by saying "See, it fires these teeny little metal splinters. They go real fast—more energy than a rifle bullet. Depleted uranium." That's the best description I could find. Stephenson does note that the gun has a lot of recoil and pushed the firers back a good distance, but I still doubt he intended for the gun to be perceived as firing at "near-light speed" velocities. – Mipadi 16:53, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is most likely my error in the original page creation.  There is no basis in fact, and would not be 'lightspeed', but maybe could be measured as a fractional part of lightspeed.  Because they are in a boat, it's hard to measure their actual speed.  Feel free to modify it.  --GoNINzo 22:20, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Havik

message: I noticed that Havik has been included in the Fictional Anarchist category.  I have not been able to play a part of the MK series featuring this character, so I am unable to check if this is accurate.  I have, however, gone about searching for sources that could attest to this.  All that I have found are references to his acts of siding with sides both good and evil, and that he has instructed the character "Kabal" to lead the "Black Dragons" to pursue goals of "Anarchy and Decay."  Wouldn't it be more accurate to note that Havik is a supporter of chaos, or perhaps nihilism, rather than Anarchy?  I propose that he be removed from the fictional anarchist category until this is proven otherwise.
Well, he's an anarchist because he absolutely loves chaos; as such, his homeland has no government or leader of any kind. So I guess he does live in an anarchy.
::Living "in an anarchy" also does not automatically qualify an individual as an anarchist, as at times non-anarchists have lived within anarchist societies, nor does "loving chaos," as anarchists are not to be regarded as lacking in a political or social agenda and cause.  Perhaps it is true that in the spirit of total liberation of desire, anarchists call for a kind of society in flux, constantly shifting in order to meet the needs of the individuals within it.  However, while the definition of chaos as a benevolent, malicious, or neutrial force, and its relationship to the political and social philosophy of Anarchism can be debated, what cannot be debated is that the Category of Fictional Anarchists requires citation for inclusion, as it is often the target of mistaken editorial addition, including violent, insane, or merely silly characters which are pejoratively mislabeled "anarchists."  Havik never makes any assertions which mimic or allude to anarchist philosophy, nor does his creators in regards to him.  Until such a source appears, we must regard him objectively and not apply labels onto him. --Cast 22:33, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I undid this edit, but it's been reverted. I have a few problems with this statement. It repeats what the third lead paragraph says and focuses on Dilbert over Adams. It implies that the comic stopped being a "cultural touchstone" after cancellation, which isn't for us to say; sources in the article simply report the drop from syndication and why. I considered removing "until" and starting a new sentence to just read "It was dropped from syndication and now runs as a webcomic", but that's even more repetitive and disjointed.
