thread_title:  Health Hut? 

message: I have moved this article back to its original name, "Gypsy Boots". It's absurd & ridiculous to have it under a name that hardly anybody knows -- and contrary to the naming guidelines, which very sensibly say to use the most common name, as we do in most cases. (For example, "Groucho Marx" instead of "Julius Henry Marx", and "Yip Harburg" instead of "Edgar Yipsel Harburg".) I just ran a series of Google searchs, with the following results:
*597 for "robert bootzin"; 364 for "robert bootzin" -wikipedia
*313 for "boots bootzin"; 146 for "boots bootzin" -wikipedia
*26,900 for "Gypsy Boots"; 26,000 for "Gypsy Boots" -wikipedia

Talk:Denis Lawson

message: I took it upon myself to do some cleaning up of the article.  Most of it was rewriting and repositioning things but otherwise the information is the same.  My main goal was to make it read better since it came off a little clunky.  I figured no one would mind so I went an acted on my own--'Be Bold' and all.  Hopefully some of you will add more information since there's much more to Denis Lawson than being 'that guy from Star Wars.'

thread_title:  Place of Birth 

message: Little factoid, which I'm guessing is not really all that relevent to the article: He appeared in the Armchair Thriller story "The Girl Who Walked Quickly" which is partly filmed in Russell Square tube station. During the sequence he stops in front on an advertising poster for Star Wars with the bottom line : "Opens in cinemas 2 January". I found it interesting as it gave the filming date of that episode as late December 1977 or more likely early January 1978. I hadn't realised that Lawson actually starred in Star Wars, so this was obviously a little in-joke by the production team.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 02:01, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Desktop metaphor

thread_title:  Dynamic access to documents? 

message: I looked in vain at Commons for an image of an inbox/in-box/outbox/out-box/in-basket/out-basket/in-tray/out-tray or even a desktop equipped with such. Pretty soon the notion that this is a metaphor will be lost: people will know the current digital meaning and forget the historical analog source. Maybe it doesn't matter, but I'd have thought it helpful to remind folks of how paper-based offices worked, especially the features that were used in UI metaphors. The main key words are desktop, folder, file, inbox, outbox, type (verb), archive. I think 'file drawer' and 'file cabinet' were used for a time as well. The world of drawing/illustration was a related source of metaphor. DCDuring (talk) 14:11, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

Category talk:Monoamines

message: This term must be of biochemical importance, as evidenced by the article monoamine.  Although the term understood by chemists, it would include nearly all the amines I have in my lab!  I am therefore changing the category description to limit it just to biochemical monoamines, otherwise it needlessly adds another layer to the categories.  If I were looking for methylamine or triethylamine I would start by looking in "amines".  If we have to subdivide things in the future because we have hundreds, the natural way for a chemist to divide amines is into primary, secondary and tertiary. Walkerma 19:14, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Computer science/Archive 1

message: The informal description given of the Church-Turing thesis is not really right. The thesis doesn't imply that all known general computing machines are equivalent in what they can do, since there are certainly computing machines with less power than a Turing machine (like the PC on your desk for a start, since anything with finite memory is an FSA <grin>). That is, unless one refuses to admit anything less powerful than a Turing machine as a "general" computing machine - but then the statement becomes a tautology! However, I can't think of a good way of phrasing it accurately without getting more technical than is desirable here. Can anyone do so? Cambyses 21:51, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think the informal statement can help but sound a little tautological, after it's a "thesis" not a "law". Another way to look at it is that it's stating a negative - there aren't several kinds of computation that are somehow of comparable power but completely different from each other. Fortunately we can rely on the link to the full article that goes into the details; this article is to explain computer science to the general public, not to specialists.
