Talk:Slavenka Drakulić

message: they, Letica stated, tendentiously avoided to label Bosnian Serbian soldiers as rapists in the well planned rape-warfare startegy and tried to put the blame on unidentified "males"- one cannot avoid cynical afterthoughts about this belated expression of righteousness that rings hollow in the ears of those familiar with the background of the entire affair.
: I haven't read the whole Globus article or the book, but this sounds as if we're copying Letica's words taking them for granted and then passing harsh judgement the later book (which, as far as I heard, does not discuss the notion of rape as a strategy, but instead talks about the rapists one by one).
: We also can't just go about saying that "she never recuperated from the collapse of Yugoslavia" (it's not exactly fair to presume state of mind) without at least some documentation.

thread_title: [[holokautoma]] aka ὁλόκαυστον aka holókauston includes the term tofet

message: Both of these articles cover the same subject, with the exception that Tophet has more discussion of more pop-culture stuff and Topheth has more discussion of the term itself. We don't need both of them. Since "Tophet" is the more common term in English (though "Topheth" is the more scrupulously correct one), I propose to merge the useful contents of both to Tophet. I don't expect this to be a controversial move, but I'd like to hear from anyone who thinks otherwise. In the absence of objections, however, I'm likely to perform a merge fairly soon. — Gavia immer (talk) 20:11, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Featured pictures candidates/Archive-05

message: The growth of this archive in the last months has inspired me to invest some time in creating a monthly dated archive. I feel this will allow for a better archive in the long run. The new archive makes it easy to find back old nominations, and leaves no wondering as to when a new archive page should be created. It also allows one to see number of pictures that gets nominated each month.

I see that many articles -- streaming media, pipeline (Unix), connection-oriented communication, stream (computing), Transmission Control Protocol, datagram, network packet, bytestream, etc. -- already allude to this dichotomy.

Shjacks45 (talk) 16:31, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Underlying "physical layer" specification? 

message: .
The reference to clock skew in serial vs parallel isn't quite right. In fact "bit jitter" is addressed in the USB 3.0 Standard, it is an issue with any synchronous communications over wire. Bit jitter refers to the fact that although electrons travel at "the speed of light" over a wire, the speed at which higher frequency (or more rapidly changing signals) is slower than lower frequency signals. This "velocity factor" is used in designing RF circuitry (e.g. antennas and transmission lines). A Parallel example would be output from a counter: the LSB changes rapidly but the MSB changes slowly, if the data is sync'ed to the counter clock, the MSB data arrives earlier than the LSB signal. Circuit board traces, twisted pairs in cables, act as transmission lines (used as delay lines) also introducing delays. Of course one of the examples of serial (narrow bus) being "better" than parallel is the infamous RAMBUS memory, holding that 16-bit wide memory can be reliably clocked at higher speed than 128-bit wide dual channel RAM.
