message: Do any of the GNU experts out there know what the Apache Bucket API is? See . It looks like this article should mention it. Andrewa 23:32, 29 Oct 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks like the section on the computing meaning of bucket needs to be spun off to its own page. It's quite long for a section on a disambig page. Bucket as in pail could become an article in itself with a bit of work too. Bonalaw 13:16, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: The non-wrapping lines that begin with spaces look really ugly in my Mozilla 1.7.3 and IE 6.0. Perhaps we could change them to be of smaller length so the page is more readable? --Culix 07:58, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

replies: text: Yeah, maybe I should have been more careful about extracting content rather than just reverting. I don't have anything against adding more kinds of bucket to the article, I just would not mention the phrase "pass the buck" since I'm not finding any backup for a connection between that phrase and buckets.

replies: text: Yeah, Wiki brings up so much "food for thought" so we may find the answer to that one some day.. Cheers, Gregorydavid 11:03, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe that "pass the buck" comes from poker. The dealer button is also known as the buck, and in most games it circulates around the table clockwise. The current person with the dealer button has responsibility, and the advantage (in those variants with positional advantage) of acting last. Hence, you are passing responsibility by passing the buck. There are many sources for this, however it's possible that it's folk etymology. It is, however, the most reasonable etymology for the phrase I've heard of. --Storkk 19:38, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  Yes merge. They should be merged. It is necessary to cite a dictionary specific to an industry to find that they are different. These two words have been for centuries synonyms for the same object. Just because one was chosen by the shipping industry does not make they two articles in Wikipedia.
