thread_title: Untitled

message: Hmm. Just really noticed that in the intro for the category. This fits within the (very logical) 'board games by theme' system that it's been put into. However, "board wargame" has a specific meaning that goes beyond mere theme. Or, at least it does to those people who play such games. Therefore, there are 'war-themed' games that are not 'wargames'. For anyone curious about this disconnect, see the current version of the overview in wargaming, which is starting to go into this. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rindis (talk • contribs) 04:27, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I removed the following sentence/paragraph from the article in chief:
:A specialist in convergent network solutions, FSS offers both Products (Licensable Technologies) and Full Spectrum Outsourcing Services to its customers for Wireline, Wireless, Next Generation Fixed or IP networks.
Obviously, this article needs some kind of description of the actual business engaged in by the enterprise in question.  This text is entirely inadequate.  "Convergent network solutions" is a vague string of strongly POV buzzwords without any concrete meaning I can figure.  They have "products" described only as "licensable technologies" - does this mean off the shelf software, or something else entirely?  I gathered that they also provide service to IP networks.  But what are "next generation" networks?  Some kind of vaporware?  If they are providing them now, how can they be "next generation"?  
Please rewrite this paragraph in plain English. Strip it of buzzwords and vacuous vogue phrases, and describe what this business offers in the most concrete possible terms. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:23, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The last line looks very suspcious:
:\int 2\sin(x)\cos(x)\,dx = -\frac 1 2 \cos(2x) + C = \sin^2(x) + C = -\cos^2(x) + C
Let's take the inenr part:
-\frac 1 2 \cos(2x) + C = \sin^2(x) + C
The half cosine of double frequency has the same "look" as squared sine, but they are for sure not equal. Just put in a 0 and calculate the values. \sin(0) + C = C but -\frac 1 2 \cos(0) + C = C - 0.5. So the article claims that 0 = 0.5. The euqal sign can just work out if you take to DIFFERENT constants. But this shows that C is arbitrary and can be chosen to be 0. --2003:DE:F17:C400:C85D:EC77:702A:EADE (talk) 15:38, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
