Talk:Chaffing and winnowing

message: I am neither a farmer nor a cryptographer, but I have read a little about both.  As far as I can make out, there are not two things to be kept separate here, because "chaffing and winnowing" is not any kind of agricultural concept.  I believe "chaffing and winnowing" is intended to mean first adding chaff, and then removing it.  This is not done in agriculture; in agriculture there is no such thing as "chaffing".  There is such a thing as winnowing, as described by winnowing, but "chaffing and winnowing" is a purely cryptographic concept.  My change attempted to make this clear, but if the editors do not find this clear, then other readers will not either, and I have failed.
Please word this as you wish, but please do not link to grain, which is a disambiguation page.

message: I'm not sure :File:Sarah york.jpg being used to identify York is acceptable per :WP:BLP#Images. The file's licensing seems fine, but the photo itself seems less than desirable for a couple of reasons. York is leaning against the back of some car, holding some kind of canned beverage in her hand, and looking away from the camera. She, of course, could've been posing, but she could've just as easily been unaware that she was being photographed. I'm not saying that we should expect a publicity still showing York fully made up and smiling as the photo that identifies her, but this one does seem to unnecessarily depict her in a unfavorable way that might be too much for Wikipedia's purposes. It might actually be better to not have a photo at all than to use this one. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:55, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Dianthus

message: ...color pink is named after the flower; the origin of the flower name 'pink' is unknown*, suggestions that it is connected with the frilled edge of the flowers as though cut with pinking shears is uncertain.
*Actually, there are many theories. The below is taken from World Wide Words (www.worldwidewords.org) compiled by Michael Quinion.
The word pink is generally agreed to be derived from the similar Dutch word pinck. However, there are two theories about which sense of the Dutch word was involved, and how it became applied to the colour. One is that it came from pinck in the sense of "small" (which turns up in the modern English word pinky for "little finger"), through the expression pinck oogen "small eyes"-that is, "half-closed eyes"-and that this was borrowed into English and applied to the flowers of the common English cottage-garden species Dianthus plumarius, which has been called a pink since the seventeenth century. The other theory says it came from pinck in the sense of "hole" (which is the origin of pinking shears, the device used to make ornamental holes in cloth) and was applied to the flowers of Dianthus because they resembled the shape of the holes. Either way, the colour comes from the plant, not the other way round.
The point I'm trying to make is that the colour is NOT so named because the flowers are mainly pink (they aren't), unlike 'orange' which is named after the fruit (it's a French corruption of a Sanskrit word). 
*I added the phrase some people have proposed that... in front of the first paragraph and moved the rest here.RJFJR 02:29, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
*This section is misleading: The origin of the flower name 'pink' is unknown; it has been suggested that it comes from the frilled edge of the flowers, which look as though they were cut with pinking shears, but actually, the shears were patented in 1893 and got their name from the flower. Pinking shears may have been patented in 1893, but only as an improvement on older "pinking irons". "Pink" as a verb dates from the 14th century, meaning to decorate with a perforated or punched pattern.

Talk:Common drain

message: Does a source-follower work like an op-amp buffer, or is there a fixed (possibly device-dependent) voltage offset between the gate and source? If so, what values are typical? RichardNeill (talk) 16:03, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  What is the DC offset here? 

message: The article explains that "In this circuit (NMOS) the gate terminal of the transistor serves as the input, the source is the output, and the drain is common to both (input and output), hence its name".
This doesn't make sense to me. Can somebody explain what is meant by common?
ICE77 (talk) 02:56, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: "Common" in this context refers to the the "common reference voltage" for signals in this circuit. That is often ground. In other circumstances, the objective of the circuit is to amplify (or operate in some way on) "small" AC signals, and the DC level is unimportant. In that scenario, "common" could be any node that doesn't vary relative to ground, such as the positive supply rail, or an intermediate voltage that's held at a constant voltage by a bypass capacitor. In this circuit the drain is connected to the V+ rail, which performs the function of being a common reference so far as AC signals are concerned. Gwideman (talk) 05:35, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

message: Bobblewik, regarding the change of "363.76 pounds" to "364 lb." and "360.45 pounds" to "360.5 lb."
I used the Google calculator to get the previous values, and I get the same results if I calculate using 2.2046 lb./kg. Are you saying that the calculations are incorrect?
If the calculations are correct, and measures are supposed to be rounded to one decimal place, shouldn't the first value be 363.8 lb, instead of 364 lb.?--DrunkenMonkey 03:14, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

So now what we see currently is the result.  I'm loath to change a thing, simply because I say we let the "Super"bike fans represent themselves.  This is the best foot they can put forward, so goshdarnit...  lets think of them all like we would that little kid getting off the short bus.

message: Hi, as there is some problems about the veracity of derogatory use of the term byzantine I am copying a quote from a book that I own, as a example and hopefully as a prove. The quote is from a scholar (at that time-18th century) who probably saw the "byzantine" term throug his own rosa-shades (english gentleman in the victorian age). The whole quote is inside of "Byzantium a history" by John Haldon ISBN 0-7524-2343-6 page 10.
"Of that Byzantine empire, the universal verdict of history is that it constitutes, whithout a single exception, the most thouroughly base and despicable form that civilation has yet assumed. There has been no other enduring civilization so absolutely destitute of all forms and elements of greatness, and none to which the epithet "mean" may be so emphatically applied...The history of the empire is a monotonous story of the intrigues of priests, eunuchs, and women, of poisonings, of conspiracies, of uniform ingratitude."
