Talk:USS Benjamin Stoddert

message: http://www.ddg8.com/history/years/1982-2/
:June 20, 1982 – Destroyers USS Lynde McCormick (DDG 8), USS Turner Joy (DD 951) and the cruiser USS Sterett were fired upon by machine guns from an unidentified vessel after returning from the U.S. – Thai exercise Cobra Gold, ’82. The USS Lynde McCormick DDG-8 returned fire and the foreign vessel fled without further action.
:The incident mentioned was off the coast of Vietnam at approx 2am. The Turner Joy was actually hit by a 30cal round in the ward room. the only casualty was the wardroom stereo of the USS Turner Joy. The USS Lynde McCormick did return fire with a deck mounted 50Cal and I believe the USS Sterett lobbed a couple of illumination rounds. Kortoso (talk) 20:19, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  1982 incident 

message: I have a vague recollection of seeing a photo of the Stoddert sinking, perhaps in Time magazine.  I searched on-line, but didn't see anything.  Surely someone has pics?  Which might be released by the copyright holder.
BTW, a comment on the writing: I found it very hard to tell what year sections of text were about, because the dates had only day and month.  It would be helpful to edit in the year every once in awhile.  I also found the over-frequent use of "the guided missile destroyer" a bit annoying, but that's just a style issue.

thread_title:  Move 

message: :The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: not moved. (closed by non-admin page mover) BilledMammal (talk) 17:01, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: USS Robert Smalls →  – The requested "new name" is actually the original name. It was changed despite an active discussion taking place at WT:SHIPS that the mover was aware of and choose to bypass. There are other options that have been used in identical situations that should be given the opportunity to be discussed and considered, (eg: USS New York (ACR-2), HMS Ocean (L12) & Atlântico, USCGC Douglas Munro (WHEC-724) and MV Astoria), to name a few. If a decision, supported by consensus, isn't forth-coming after seven days, then (as I have already suggested) the issue should go to an RfC. (Or RM, but this same issue involves two articles, so an RfC could apply to both). The mover cited "wp:namechange" as a reason for the move, without clarifying how it applied. When asked earlier, another user's reply would fail wp:crystal. However, this move does fail wp:commonname and for all these reasons, it should be moved back. Thank you. - wolf 06:17, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Urban Development Maps Incorrectly Labelled 

message: Just to clarify my recent edit, the Alps definitely had this name long before the landscaping or the ski slope. I don't when the name was first used, but it was definitely in use in 1973 when I took the photo here. Pterre 16:42, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As a child, I played amongst the contaminated slag heaps and tips, from well before then. It tended to be known locally as the Dumps. The Alps epithet seems to have come about at the beginning of the 70s as an example of local irony. I doubt if the change can be documented. Thankfully, most of the area had acquired a thick growth of grass and weeds, so hopefully I won't discover the health consequences of the area! The day before I left for university in 1973 I walked through the gasworks, climbing the coal chutes from the landing stage, and following the process down to the ovens. Eventually, the natural gas people kicked me out. Kbthompson 17:04, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Warrant of execution

message: I have attempted to edit this article in order to remove it from WP:DEP. In doing so, I was confused by the section on procedure and added the  and  templates. My reason for this is that the original article sets out the procedure to obtain this warrant, states that the limit is different in Scotland, and then repeats the procedure. It is not clear if this is a repetition of the previous information or to differentiate that the procedure is different in Scotland from that in England. 
   What is confusing about it?  The MAXIMUM amount in both cases is £5000 - larger amounts follow a different procedure.  In England 
   there is no MINIMUM amount, but in Scotland there IS a minimum amount of £500.  There doesn't appear to be any confusion to my mind
   or a repetition of the previous information.  Does anybody else see a problem? - Whisperwolf 14:05, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Perth High School

message: The school is planning in June 2010 to change the Registration system to a system called the "Vertical Registration System" for the Curriculum of Excellence, it means that each registration class will have three-five pupils from each year, it's apparently so that the first years have "buddies" from the senior years to help them out. The school is also planning during the Summer to build Communal Toilets to replace the old ones. Both of these reconstruction plans had a few negative comments from the pupils, but slowly their starting to accept the changes.

message: "Bowlly returned to England but Noble continued to lead bands in America, moving into an acting career portraying a stereotypical upper-class English idiot."
One role -- "Reggie" in A Damsel in Distress (1937) -- is not a career. However, the upper class twit character he created in this film as well as in the band's novelty numbers were certainly instrumental in creating the stereotype. Too bad I don't have a cite for that assertion. Maybe somebody can find one? Bustter (talk) 16:41, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Macintosh Quadra 840AV

message: I always had thought that the DSP was basically only included on the Quadra and Centris lines because Plaintalk used it..  I know that there was the complicated and (at least I thought at the time - although I was only 15 :) very cool ARTA architecture for doing your own things with it.  But was there ever any official press release to the effect that the DSP was only there to make Plaintalk able to work - or be able to work in the background?  Could PT work on systems without the DSP?
Jimw338 (talk) 02:07, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: My understanding is that it potentially allowed for realtime audio processing, hard disc recording, and TV/computer video overlay, as per the Video Toaster. The problem, judging by this forum thread, is that in a fashion typical for Apple at the time the company appeared to have just dumped the DSP into the machine without liaising with developers or making the tools freely available. A similar problem dogged the Macintosh IIfx and A/ROSE (for example). Certain versions of Photoshop with the appropriate drivers used the DSP, but only for a small number of operations; beyond that you would need to go back to 1994 or learn how to program the DSP in assembly language to get the most out of it. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 14:50, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

message: "the housing, chassis, power supply, and internal storage assemblies are the same"
I recently repaired two 840avs to working order.  The power supply is not the same as a quadra 800.  The connector, size, and specs are different.  It is quite similar to the power macintosh 9500 and 8500's power supply, which can be used in an 840av.  The quadra 800's power supply is compatible with older machines such as the quadra 700, anything in the IIvx style (including PM7100), and IIci/IIcx. 2601:603:1081:BCB0:B44B:909:4EB5:9FFD (talk) 00:23, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
