Talk:LiveConnect

message: All of the documentation linked from here is out of date in at least one respect: where do you find the LiveConnect class definitions for compiling applets that refer to javascript?  Sun's documentation describes it as being included in "JAWS.JAR", but this was last distributed with JDK1.3 AFAICT.  The mozilla documentation suggests it should be in [path to mozilla installation]/Java/Classes/java40.jar, but this was last true for Netscape 4, I think.

Talk:Factor (agent)

message: As prr my edit comments and also on Talk:Factory (fur trade), there are content issues here; I was surprised to see no mention of the Hudson's Bay Company posts by this title, which was a direct transfer of the Scottish manageer meaning; the "one who does/makes" etymology is secondary to that, no matter if it's the "agent" or other meaning; Cotton Factor comes from the same reason, as does "factory".  Factory (fur trade) is for now written around the US only, which to a Canadian is really odd (as always), but as noted there and in edit comments here too I think, Chief Factor needs its own article (there's only so many individuals who have worn that title), and the Factor article - this one, that is, despite the implied Factor (fur trade) - should make a point of describing the HBC rank/position, which has the same meaning as cotton factor etc. - something like a broker/buyer/seller plus storehouse/company manager.Skookum1 18:22, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Boy, this is one sh**ty article.  I'm not usually so blunt in my assessment of things, but really, this deserves it.

— Preceding unsigned comment added by UDoWs (talk • contribs) 20:51, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: First use

message: The article should state clearly, that modern warheads based on the Munroe effect utilize a metal lining of the void, therefore increasing the penetration performance (resulting in a metal stream penetrating instead of "plasma"). This arises another question, is it realy plasma (I doubt that), or just the reaction products of the chemical explosion, i.e. hot and fast moving gas molecules?
Furthermore it may be a nice information to add, since when the metal lining was applied. Maybe during WW2, but the effect was discovered way early. 84.166.205.235 14:29, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You say you doubt it really is plasma, yet you essentially go on to say it is (plasma essentially being ionized gas).  The "metal stream" projected results in a copper (or steel, depending on the liner used...sometimes they even use glass) plasma. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.116.129.254 (talk • contribs) 18:59, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

message: In the article it says the charge will penetrate 150-250% of the munition's diameter.  This is not universal, some shaped charges (notably the linear varieties) will only penetrate 50-80% of the container width if dealing with steel that is thicker than the width of the container.

message: "Slavery has been one of the most controversial and significant issues throughout history. The brutality that many slaves had to endure during these times caused uproar throughout many colonies, which spread to the movement of emancipation and the abolishment of slavery. Across the world, the amount of slavery that occurred in multiple countries was astounding, but each country has their own history on how slavery was emancipated. Denmark was actually the first country in 1792 to abolish its slave trade. Throughout time, many countries thereafter sought to gain freedom for those who were enslaved."
