Talk:Serial port

message: Hard drives are, of course, not commonly interfaced through serial ports.  Unfortunately, the are commonly interfaced through serial ports, just not the kind that are discussed here.  Very generally, there are two ways to communicate data electronically, serial (with only one data line), and parallel (with more than one).  Serial communications port might be a more specific name, though ss the ports discussed here are the more common use of the term, I don't think there is any need for change. A paragraph on other types of serial ports might be nice. Gah4 (talk) 23:23, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

Does this really merit inclusion in an encyclopedia?  We can't have a page for every random C dialect implemented for every random, obscure computer platform. — Preceding unsigned comment added by K.lee (talk • contribs)  19:19, 7 October 2002 (UTC)

message: "Small-C was important for tiny computers in a manner somewhat analogous to the importance of GCC for larger computers."
Hardly.  Small computers in the eighties were typically not programmed in C.  CP/M itself was written in PL/0.  Assembler was still often used not only for system software but also for applications, chiefly due to the very limited amount of available memory.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.142.72.54 (talk) 10:24, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

message: Small-C is an important bit of computer history, being one of the first open source compilers (and one of the first open source applications of any sort) available for the IBM PC.
A group of us at IBM in Rochester MN keyed in the original Dr. Dobb's source and ported it to the PC, shortly after the original publication.  Simultaneously Hendrix ported the better known PC version.  I don't know if the version we worked on (I did most of the porting) survives in any form -- I don't believe that I still have a copy.

Talk:Jethro Tull

message: Wasn't Jethro Tull the man who developed crop rotation in England?  Perhaps it 
might be better to use a topic heading of Jethro Tull (Band) or a 
disambiguation page. - 206.15.46.129
Good point. I was wondering about that. - DrewT2
:I think he invented the seed drill or something didn't he? Some kind of agricultural fellow anyway. But really, I think the band is better known today than the man - personally I wouldn't worry too much about this until somebody decides to write about JT himself (although there are plenty who would disagree with me). --Camembert
::I agree. The band is far more widely known. --mav
:Is the person also known by a middle name? That would be an easy way to naturally disambiguate. Otherwise the person will just have to be at a parenthetical title. --mav
::Okay, I just wrote Jethro Tull (agriculturist) and put in a link to Jethro Tull (band).  If no one else will do it, I will perform the rest of the disambiguation, but since I really don't like Jethro Tull's music I'd prefer that a fan take care of it.  The seed man was really important to the whole world, the band isn't, except to its fans. In other words, I think this is a case for a real dismbiguation and not an apologetic aside off this article. Ortolan88 00:49 Oct 8, 2002 (UTC)
I just want to say that just because I moved the page and made the disambiguation doesn't mean I am necessarily a fan of the band... I'll let someone else remove the "one legged flute playing" comment, by the way. I've got to entertain myself somehow ;) --Camembert
Jethro Tull wasn't the guy who introduced a crop rotation idea in England; that was Charles Townshend. (At least that's what my text book says)   -Kyle — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.141.49.2 (talk • contribs)

I saw the movie (back then) and there is no racism, or far-right, or white-whatever in it. It's just a good movie in the setting of that time. Who cares that the main character is "white".

thread_title:  Infrastructure 

message: Hydrogen's explosivity is listed here as 4% to 74% in air. It's more accurate to say its limit of detonability is 18% to 59%. See, for example, https://www1.eere.energy.gov/hydrogenandfuelcells/pdfs/h2_safety_fsheet.pdf, or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_safety "inerting and purging
This should be amended in the first paragraphs of the "properties" section. Saying it is explosive at 4% gives a false impression about its risks, and feeds into a common misconception that flammability limit = detonation limit. Indeed, citation [21] refers to flammability range, and does not appear to mention explosive mixtures.51.194.9.191 (talk) 13:33, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

The information about cities, towns, and unincorporated communities is not accurate. I thought an unincorporated community is a town that does not have a post office and zip code. There are only 3 towns that do have a post office and zip code and the rest of them do not and should be considered unincorporated communities in Wikipedia. These are Madill, Kingston, and Lebanon. The zip codes are 73446, 73439. and 73440 respectively. All others are unincorporated which are Aylesworth, Cumberland, Enos, Fobb, Little City, McBride, Powell, Shay, Willis, and Woodville. There are probably several others that I don't know about....but the information on this article and also the Marshall County template are both inaccurate. In-Correct (talk) 19:36, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

What's the source of the "Villages" data?  The reason I ask is that villages in Vermont are incorporated municipalities, and thus the "census division" comment at the bottom of the page is entirely erroneous -- except that the things listed as "villages" are not, in fact, villages: they are all undifferentiated parts of the City of Barre.  (Only towns can have villages within them.)  There may in fact be incorporated villages in Washington County, but research would be required to update the list. (The Census of Governments might help, but the Vermont Secretary of State's office is probably the official source.)
The Census Bureau has a very strong methodological bias against the New England form of local government, much to the irritation of those of us who live here and have to make sense of the Census data.
