Talk:Human enhancement technologies

message: Pavel Vozenilek removed antidepressants from the Examples of HET section because he believes that these are medicals and do not enhance human to ne level. I disagree and put them back.

Talk:Chronic

message: I really don't think that references to drugs belong under the heading of "business". I don't even see any material that would relate to any economic gain in there. I removed the business heading and moved it under slang, however the slang section and the former business section contains a pro-cannibis POV. IE Cannibis is not physiologically addictive, but it does become habit forming, otherwise terms like "wake and bake" would not exist. As such, I don't think it's a fair POV that ignores that aspect. Additionally it may be wise to rewrite some areas using less slang to define the slang. Explanations of things like "nuggets" are necessary --Waterspyder 21:32, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Dates

message: Perhaps the most notorious hire from ABC Daytime was longtime One Life to Live actor Roger Howarth. Howarth was brought on as a recast for Paul Ryan.  Some hardcore, devoted fans convinvced themselves that his over-the-top take on the character was much more appropriate than his predecessor Scott Holroyd's subtle, layered, and charming performance, but many viewers felt that Howarth did not understand the Paul character and was simply playing him as he'd played his role on One Life to Live.  With Howarth's hammy histrionics in full flame, Paul became a much less interesting, and severely damaged, character.
This is horribly POV.

Talk:Additive polynomial

message: :Let P(x) be a polynomial with coefficients in k, and  \{w_1,...,w_m\}\subset k be the set of its roots. Assuming that P(x) is separable, then P(x) is additive if and only if \{w_1,...,w_m\} form a group.
They are a subgroup in respect to addition or multiplication? 
Should it be 
:\{w_1,...,w_m\}\subset \bar{k}
instead of
:\{w_1,...,w_m\}\subset k?

thread_title: The fundamental theorem of additive polynomials

message: Is the example under additive versus absolutely additive correct? That is, I think x^q-x is absolutely additive. q is the order of the field, and if finite it must then be q=p^n for some n\in\mathbb{N}. But p is the characteristic, so that x^q-x=x^\left(p^n\right)-x is a linear combination of \tau_p^n=x^\left(p^n\right) and \tau^0=x and thus absolutely additive. GromXXVII (talk) 12:31, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with you. However, I also want to dispute the clarity of the definition. The article first says that an additive polynomial is such that P(a+b)=P(a)+P(b) as polynomials in a and b. What does the underlined part mean? Isn't that just evaluating P(x) at both values? Then, the article goes on to say that this (which looks like the merely additive version) is equivalent to assume that this equality holds for all a and b in some infinite field containing k, such as its algebraic closure (which looks like the absolutely additive version). Wisapi (talk) 14:45, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, P(a+b)=P(a)+P(b) is evaluating P(x) at both values. The clarification in the underlined part has to do with the difference between functions and polynomials. In finite characteristic you can have equality of functions without equality of polynomials - this makes the equals sign "=" ambiguous as to whether you mean as functions or polynomials. For instance, consider the field Z_2=\{0,1\} and the functions f(x)=x^2+x, g(x)=0. As functions over Z_2, f=g because f(x)=g(x) for all x\in Z_2.

thread_title:  Imaginary? 

message: It appears that the auto industry (with references) uses weight transfer, while the motorcycle industry (with references) uses load transfer to describe the same phenomona: the measurable change of load borne by different wheels during acceleration. For this reason, we propose the intro paragraph should read something like: 
:Weight transfer and load transfer are two expressions used somewhat confusingly to describe two distinct effects: the change in load borne by different wheels of even perfectly rigid vehicles during acceleration, and the change in center of mass (CoM) location relative to the wheels because of suspension complience or cargo shifting or sloshing. In the automobile industry, weight transfer customarily refers to the change in load borne by different wheels during acceleration. This is more properly referred to as load transfer, and that is the expression used in the motorcycle industry, while weight transfer on motorcycles, to a lesser extent on automobiles, and cargo movement on either is due to a change in the CoM location relative to the wheels.

Talk:Hayim Nahman Bialik

message: Bialik isn't just the Israeli Natl poet because he wrote a lot. You briefly mentioned that he wrote poems for children. He had a HUGE agenda along with other poets of his time, to create a "new" type and generation of Jew. He took then well known biblical verses and rewrote them in his poetry without the mention of God. He also basically stated in his children's poems that there is no God or that you cannot rely on God. There are many examples, I am not a scholar on this so won't write more, and I am not saying I agree or disagree with what he did but this is a huge part of his life because it helped shape a new nation, every child in Israel knows these songs, and so it should be mentioned.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sblj (talk • contribs) 20:00, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
