replies: text: Well, as the creator of the images I think it does serve a purpose, namely to show what capabilities of eg creating a GUI program GFA-BASIC offered, and what the sourcecode looked like. Don't you agree? -- Syzygy (talk) 10:34, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Screenshots 

message: The article currently claims that GFA BASIC is a commercial version of Turbo-XL Basic, but I found this a bit doubtful, considering that Turbo was written for 8-bit Ataris, while GFA is for the 16-bit ST platform with its GEM, but I have to admit I have no experience with Turbo-XL.
So, can anyone confirm the claim that the two are closely related, and not just two different Basics by the same author? The claim is currently unreferenced, both here and on the Turbo-XL page. -- Syzygy (talk) 07:54, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Nativity of Jesus

message: I would like to take issue with the statement that the accounts of the Nativity found in Matthew & Luke cannot be reconciled. I believe they can. To do so, we must look at them separately in a timeline. On that timeline, I would propose that Luke's account is of the actual birth, some time around 6 BCE, while Matthew's account is from two years later around 4 BCE, the time of Herod the Great's death. 
Luke simply states that Joseph, residing in Nazareth at the time, is compelled to go to Bethlehem since that is his family's home town which was a requirement of a census. There are no references as to why or how long he had been there. Luke states only that his journey Bethlehem began in Nazareth where he had married a local girl named Mary. As his wife, Mary journeyed with him even though she was 8-9 months pregnant. They arrive in Bethlehem, Mary gives birth and local shepherds visit them claiming they had been instructed to do so by a host of angels. 
Two things to keep in mind. Joseph was from Bethlehem and Mary was from Nazareth. That means they each had family in their town of origin. It seems to me that eventually Joseph and Mary decided to stay put and take advantage of the natural familial support structure already in place because of Joseph's roots there.
Advance two more years. A star had appeared in the sky that peaked the interest of a number of Magi who began calculating its meaning and a destination that might provide the missing details as to whom to worship as a result of the star's appearance. That, having been accomplished, they choose a number of representatives to investigate. The entire process took approximately two years.
During that time, Joseph establishes his business or perhaps joins the family business and the two enjoy whatever other Bethlehem residents enjoy...home and family and community. Jesus is now two years old.
Suddenly, a caravan of Magi arrives with their astrological tale of wonder along with a warning to get out of Dodge. An angel puts his stamp of approval on the idea and off to Egypt they go. There, they are conveniently and safely out of range of Herod's wrath.
Some time later, they hear of Herod's death and begin to ponder their next step. They dare not go back to Bethlehem which is in the very shadow of Herod's successor, but where to go? Well, Mary has a familial support structure already in place in Nazareth. Plus Nazareth is outside of Herod Antipas' jurisdiction. So they go to Nazareth and live peaceably for another 30 plus years until the time is right for Jesus to begin his ministry.
I rest my case. Josefthe6000yearoldman (talk) 16:47, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Talk:The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abissinia

message: In my experience, it's rare to see modern editions labelled simply "Rasselas" - "Prince of Abissinia/Abyssinia" is invariably present and many of the modern classics editions (including Penguin, Oxford and Wordsworth) give the full title.

message: The entirely VIA C7-M based HP 2133 ultraportable subnotebook has just debuted and ZDNet, PCMag, etc. are all praising it. HP choose VIA C for unbeatable price-value balance, even though Intel's Atom is available since 2nd of April. This is a victory for VIA CPU team. 82.131.210.162 (talk) 13:46, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Then what? This tiny little machine is really unsuitable for creative professional work or hardcore gaming, no matter how much horsepower the CPU has, due to obvious lack of LCD screen space. Besides web browsing, word and excel work, video chat and movie playback the only thing it needs is to be able to run modern antivirus without bogging down the system too much (Windows is too fragile to browse the web without defences). I recommend testing with Symantec-Norton or F-Secure protection suites, because those are famous for their high system burden. If the HP2133 survives daily workload chore on WinXP SP3 with antivirus protection on then is it OK for general school use. Don't be a maximalist! 82.131.210.162 (talk) 14:19, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Hosting

message: It states on this page for 'Eurovision Song Contest 1974,' that Sweden won the contest with a score of 24 points, which represented just 15% of the possible available vote and that such a low percentage had never been achieved since, but it was still higher than the 12% achieved by each of the four winners in 1969.
If you go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Eurovision_Song_Contest_winners, it states that the lowest percentage score ever, was in 1972, where Luxembourg received only 8.30% of the possible vote.
That Sweden received 14.12% (not 15%)of the possible available votes in 1974 and that lower percentages than that HAVE been recorded since, in fact in 30 different years since.
All in all, 34 countries have won the contest by a lower overall percentage of the votes score, than Sweden did in 1974.
The four winners in 1969 shared 11.25% of the possible vote each, not 12% as stated on this page.

thread_title: 2006 rewrite

message: I'm investigating the two (one, now that I've deleted one) remaining non-footnote general references, and will delete or integrate as footnotes depending what I find.
To start with, I am deleting this general reference:
:*Kelly, Barbara. "Ravel, Maurice", Grove Music Online ed. L. Macy, <http://grovemusic.com> (subscription access)
I read the article and it's about Ravel, not the Concerto. It barely mentions the Concerto, referring to it in only 3 sentences:
* One general sentence that Ravel composed it 1829-1830 for Wittgenstein, who had lost an arm; well-supported by other references.
* "The introduction of the Concerto for the Left Hand is based on the secondary dominant pedal E, which resolves to A at the piano's entry before reaching the tonic D major." This is used in the article. As this is the only passage about the structure of the Concerto, and is in a larger context about Ravel's work in general, I'm not inclined to try to shoehorn this into the "Structure" section. I'd rather find other material that discusses it in context.
* One work in a list of four as an example of Ravel's "exuberant orchestral textures"; not used in text of article, and more about Ravel's style in general than the Concerto.
