Talk:Game semantics

message: I'm pretty sure that Japardidze was not the first to propose games as foundational entities: its rather the point of Ludics (the new approach to linear logic that doesn't yet have a wikipedia entry, no doubt because no-one who knows enough about it and cares enough to write an entry has enough courage to put their name to a summary...), and also there's a not-so-new article by Walter Felscher proposing dialog games as a foundation for constructivism. ---- Charles Stewart 16:45, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: It seems to me that, at the moment, this page mentions a number of different approaches to semantics which have relatively little in common, except using game theoretical techniques in some way.

Talk:Koga (InuYasha)

message: How is divine energy different then holy energy? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 162.40.58.49 (talk • contribs) . 
Okay, divine energy = energy from a god or otherworldy source. Holy energy = purification powers that priestesses and monks have; they are not obtained in the same way. Divine energy usually has some sort of quest or trial attached to gaining it. Holy energy is inherent in the person, like Kagome, for instance. In addition, divine energy tends to have some kind of restriction while holy energy is more free-reigning. Punk reader 21:50, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Bender (Futurama)

message: Did anybody ever noticed some similarities between Bender's personality and Marvin the Paranoid Android's personality? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Popopp (talk • contribs) 13:26, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Marvin the Paranoid Android 

message: First of all, Bender is a machine. Why does he even have a gender entry? Notable robotic characters such as C-3PO, R2D2 or the T-1000 do not have one for example. The T-800 has a gender entry as "male human tissue exterior", which makes sense. Apart from his voice Bender has no innately male attributes. I think it would be best to remove the entry. 
Of course I am aware that in the Futurama universe robots can be male or female, but somebody who has to read up on Wikipedia to know who Bender is probably would not know that. Hence, without providing a link that explains robotic genders in Futurama the entry is entirely misleading. 
But even if we take knowledge of robotic genders in Futurama as a given, whether or not Bender is male is not clear. Bender presents as female in at least three episodes of the show without any notable discomfort. As far as his personality is concerned he is either ambivalent about his own gender or gender fluid. 
In episode 67 Bender's robotic gender is mechanically altered making her a female robot as far as the standards of robotic genders in Futurama are concerned. During the procedure to change her back the professor explains that if any mistakes were made Bender would be "trapped between genders". The episode strongly implies that this may have happened. 
If the entry remains it should be changed to a term that reflects the complexities of Bender's experience of gender. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jpahlen (talk • contribs) 19:06, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

:I can't see any real problem.  The only reason for initially calling it Rulers and Heads of State of ... was to indicate that for at least part of the list the incumbents, whilst being part of the same list, actually couldn't be considered Heads of State as we would recognise them today.  Hence there are some pages "Rulers of ..." and others "Heads of State of ..." and those which span the two concepts "Rulers and Heads of State of ..."

Talk:Translation process

message: The description of this process is not complete without specifying the type of constraints that govern your translation work.
Typically, you have various types of texts, and within each type a number of items to translate, each with a number of constraints to handle.
For example:
free-floating text:
body and title
poems
rhyming:
fixed syllable, rhytm, etc.
patents:
scientific study:
terminology
measurements
units
other conversion
source code
display screens
program manuals
art criticism:
etc.
Now the end prodcut of the translation will be assessed according to the level of meeting the criteria for producing equivalent mutation in L2 of the original input. And compliance will vary according to criteria applied/discarded.
What do you think?

Talk:Calayan rail

message: I moved "piding" after the range because I thought it made sense to refer to natives of the island after mentioning the island.
Does the number of flightless rail species really belong here?  If so, I suspect the place I left that sentence is still not the best place for it.  By the way, if those are just the extant flightless rails, we might want to add the word "extant".
I hope "Southwest Pacific" is really right for the range of Gallirallus.
Do we really need to explain the origin of the specific epithet?  It strikes me as obvious.
