Talk:Mmap

message: "On modern operating systems mmap is typically preferred to the System V IPC Shared Memory facility"
: What does the term "modern" refer to in this statement?  It's being used as a synonym for "UNIX-like" in this case, and not operating systems of recent design (which is what one would normally think of in regard to being modern). 74.134.226.55 01:08, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Perhaps "modern implementations of UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems" would have been more precise.  However, it's being compared to SysV "shared memory" which puts it obviously in the context of UNIX systems.  Also  mmap() as a system call (operating system function) is already strongly associated with UNIX-like operating systems.  MS-Windows (and OS/2) derived their inspiration for their versions of this function from UNIX; MacOS X is a UNIX-like operating system.  Are there any more "modern" operating systems which implement mmap() specifically?  What other mechanisms for shared memory or memory mapped file access are available on other operating systems?

message: Says "It naturally implements demand paging, because file contents are not read from disk initially and do not use physical RAM at all". The last phrase of the sentence makes no sense. If the file is mapped into VM, and attempting to read it causes a page fault - which it must - then when you page in the file you have to use physical memory.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Houseofwealth (talk • contribs) 18:46, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Template talk:Palestinian refugee camps

message: There is a link to the article on Palestinian refugees in the template and thus there is no need to add the definition to the bottom of the template.  It just seems unnecessary.  The official definition is at the start of the Palestinian refugees article for those that are interested.  --Abnn 00:34, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, it is unclear why Humus sapiens means when he wrote in his edit summary that "we don't want to mislead our readers, do we?".  I suggest that Humus sapiens read WP:AGF and realize that it is inappropriate to accuse others of such things.  Such accusations only serve to poison the editing atmosphere here at Wikipedia.  --Abnn 00:36, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  As you might know, the definition of Palestinian refugee is unique, and a good encyclopedia should  make clear who is being counted, instead of simply listing numbers.

message: Does anyone know of sources that discuss the history of this term being used in the literature? I know the 1988 book by Merrill D. Peterson but did he coin the term, or had people been using it before then? Was the term in use during the time the trio was in power? &c. &c. Interested in knowing the answer, or if anyone has suggestions on how I might go about finding that information? I used the Google Books Ngram Viewer and it's been used loosely in the past (see here) but in looking at the referenced texts (the links at the bottom), the "Great Triumvirates" are usually actually referring to other trios or as a general term of which Webster, Clay, and Calhoun are one of many.

message: May I suggest as a reference my own survey on spanners, "Spanning trees and spanners", Handbook of Computational Geometry, J.-R. Sack and J. Urrutia, eds., Elsevier, 1999, pp. 425-461. An earlier version is available online as http://www.ics.uci.edu/~eppstein/pubs/Epp-TR-96-16.pdf and at some other locations. I think the spanner literature is too large to attempt a thorough collection of primary sources, so it would work better to go with secondary sources such as this one.
This article and tree spanner should also either point to each other or be merged.

These novels were later reprinted under the Vintage Crime/Black Lizard press. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sshawzam (talk • contribs)  (comment moved from article to Talk page by ShelfSkewed)
:This seems to be accurate and needs to be researched. The list on the page, with some differences, comes from the second of the External links currently in the article (under a different label): The Black Lizard Press papers at Stanford University. The information on the site suggests that the list derives only from the original BL issues, before they were bought by Random House. But the Library of Congress lists the 1992 Vintage/BL edition of the Goodis title as the first edition thus. And the only Charles Williams I can find published by either BL or Vintage/BL is The Hot Spot, issued by Vintage/BL. So, as I said, the list need to be vetted for accuracy. --ShelfSkewed talk 03:01, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:AP United States History

message: As a student currently enrolled in AP US history, I was curious to know whether this page reflected the massive changes that have been put in place for the 2015 AP test. If this page reflects the old test and the themes, periods, and grade scales used for it, it should be changed as soon as possible. This year (2015) is the first year the AP test will be changed, and my teacher, who has taught the class for years, has had to reshape his entire curriculum to fit the new (and largely developing) standards for the AP test. 
There are websites, such as http://ap.gilderlehrman.org that are as up to date as possible with the new AP standards, and have been progressively releasing more and more online and interactive content since for a few months now. They still do not have all the new content released as of yet, and are currently developing resources for "Period 8, 1945-1980." 
Please, if any of this information has not been revised (I don't know the specific details of the old course, this being my first AP year, and not being able to compare) I would ask you to consider these changes! I would be willing to write a summary of the changes, or anything I discussed above, as an edit to the article, so please let me know!
Thanks, hope I could help..

My father and his many siblings were raised in Elmstead Heath and many lived there and in Elmstead Row for their entire lives.  Both these locations have been swallowed by the growth of Alresford.  When he was approaching 100, my late Uncle Len was taken to visit Elmstead Heath by his ever indulgent daughter.  Even with his limited vision he expressed surprise that Cocking's  Lane was now known as Cockayne Lane and then discovered that Elmstead Wood is now known as Cockayne Wood.  My late father, some nine years his junior, for about the first time ever, agreed with this recollection.
Another uncle built 'Little Haven' and one of my aunts lived in 'Floral Cottage' with her massive collection of clocks. I spent many holidays at Black Boarded Cottages (opposite the Rose and Crown) and learnt the bell codes used by LNER which still operated steam trains (passenger and goods) on this line, including a siding at Alresford.

It surprises me that "the homestead principle" is being portrayed as something new, contemporary, and indirectly credited to Murray Rothbard when it is really a historical relic of the history of political philosophy and political economy, not much more than a dated retread that has been eclipsed historically hundreds of years ago by Hegel etc. By not anchoring its proper historical context, it misleads, intentionally or not. --Mikerussell 03:01, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
