Talk:Server appliance

message: removing wiki tag from article.  I believe the article is wiki-fied. DearPrudience mentioned it looked ok. --Akc9000 12:42, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I am removing the redirect to computer appliance as I believe server appliances are significant enough to warrant their own article.
There is a huge amount of information on this page that has not been included in computer appliance, which makes this topic difficult to cover on without completely rewriting large sections of computer appliance.
Please DISCUSS the redirect on the talk page before turning it back on.

Talk:Duhamel's principle

message: The description of Duhamel's principle as "the solution to the inhomogeneous wave equation" is terribly inaccurate.  Duhamel's principle is used to solve the inhomogeneous wave equation, the inhomogeneous heat equation, and even the inhomogeneous transport equation.  It is the idea that these problems can be solved by integrating solutions to homogeneous problems in time.  Evans PDE book is a decent reference.  -- Ivan Blank, Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Kansas State University (My field of research is a subfield of PDEs.)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.179.160.248 (talk) 08:32, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I wish there were more details about the statement that
: P(\partial_t) H = \delta 
in the sense of distributions.
First of all is G a smooth function? so that H is the product of a smooth function times Heaviside? If that's the case then I would use Leibniz' formula for each monomial  a_k (\partial_t)^k H  but I'm not sure what it gives, Dirac's delta and its derivatives will appear as derivatives of the Heaviside. For t > 0  the equation vanishes indeed, but at  t=0 is it obvious that we only have  \delta  and not a sum of derivatives of it multiplied by derivative of G... Ah, .... ok, I get it, the initial conditions on G allow to conclude!!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noix07 (talk • contribs) 15:49, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Emer

message: Why was the information about the "Celtic Hero" program deleted from the "Other references" section of this article?  The "Other references" section appears under the heading "Cultural References", which includes a play based on the "Emer's Only Jealousy" myth and the ship in the Irish Naval Service which is named after Emer.  The section appears to be intended to show Emers continuing presence in modern day culture, and provide an opportunity to describe appearances of stories from the Tochmarc Emire in modern works.  "Celtic Hero" fits this category, because it is a radio drama adaptation of the "Wooing of Emer" story, as heard on National Public Radio.  How is this to be considered "spam"?  Why was it deleted?

thread_title:  Deletion of "Celtic Hero" from "Other references" section 

message: There seem to be different stories about Emer. Here is that she was found in great search, yet elsewhere its mentioned there was a pissing contest and she was teh greastest pisser. 
http://aizadazahar.blogspot.com/2007/10/story-of-cuchulain.html
while I cannot verify which is true, the greastes pisser story seems to be quite widespread, not least it smentioned in Frank McCourt's book Angela's Ashes. If its not true / modern invention / as a popular miscoinception I think it should be mentioned. If it is true, its quite strange that its not mentioned here!
:If that's from McCourt, then McCourt got it wrong. The character who won the pissing contest was Derbforgaill, wife of Lugaid Riab nDerg. --Nicknack009 (talk) 00:16, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Dvoretzky's theorem

message: I've stumbled upon a formulation of Dvoretzky theorem which uses Banach-Mazur distance. 
Theorem 6.2.1 in the book Kadets, Kadets: Series in Banach spaces
:Let k be an arbitrary natural number and let \varepsilon>0. Then there exists a number n(k,\varepsilon) such that, for any normed space X with dim X>n(k,\varepsilon) there is a k-dimensional subspace Y of X such that d\left(Y,l_2^{(k)}\right)<1+\varepsilon.
However as am far from being expert in this area, I do not know whether this formulation is equivalent to the one given in the article. And I definitely do not feel competent enough to say whether this is interesting enough to be included in the article. --Kompik (talk) 12:37, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

message: In the section "Further Development", it says
:More precisely, let Sn − 1 denote the unit sphere with respect to some Euclidean structure Q [...] For any Q, there exists such a subspace E
Is Q here a quadratic form on X or on E? I assume it lives on X, so Sn − 1 should be written as SN − 1. If this is correct, are we considering the Euclidean norm on E that is induced by Q|E? AxelBoldt (talk) 03:08, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

Talk:UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying Group G

message: Forgive me for my density, but can someone explain exactly why Luxembourg is unable to qualify? A basic overview of the table shows that they can still get to 15 points, which, with the appropriate miracles, could put them in a tie with Bulgaria(?? ... don't remember the team) for second place. Then I checked their result in the match they played with Bulgaria and Lux. only lost by 1-0. I recognize that it's basically moot, but I wouldn't like to shortchange Luxembourg.

Talk:The Little Girl

message: Granted, glurge stories like this are usually -- as this one is -- as subtle and nuanced as a baseball bat to the back of the head. Nevertheless, there's always plenty of room to inject yourself into your interpretation of the song. For example, you said "we know that government agents 'took the girl away...'" No, we don't. "And some people from the city" might be "government agents" or not. Yes, in 20th century America that's a reasonable guess. That it is 20th century America is also a guess. The whole section is original research.
There's plenty more: dad "used a gun on her mom", which we decided inevitably means mom is dead; mom "did drugs", so she is obviously using addictive drugs and is a "drug-addict"; any room with "their couch" must be the "living room" (true story: my grandmother's couch and TV were in the spare bedroom, the "rec room" had chairs and there was no "living room"); and so on.
Wikipedia policy generally excludes this kind of section, because it is not verifiable, violating one of the projects pillars. - SummerPhDv2.0 12:30, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The entire section seems to have been based on one person's reading of the song's meaning. The "summary" was about as long as the song's lyrics, though re-written as prose, filling in best-guesses along the way. From the first line, for example, we have an "unnamed" girl. Unmentioned are the facts that no one else is named either, not even the man on the cross. - SummerPhDv2.0 16:30, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Debarq

message: The elevation of 2235 meters cannot be correct (that's approximatively the elevation of Gondar, but Debarq is much higher... and colder). My two travel guides give 3020 and 3100 meters, respectively. --62.203.92.192 (talk) 18:46, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: 2235 meters was one of the 4 values I found in the source cited at the Nordic Africa Institute website; the others are 2848, 2908 & 3020. Since I have no way of determining which of these three was the most likely value, I added the one that best matched the latitude & longitude I had for the town, & noted the discrepancy in the footnote. Sadly, for all of the efforts of its specialists, the geographical datum of Ethiopia is still not as accurate as in other countries. -- llywrch (talk) 07:22, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have been to Debarq some years ago, and I am very sure that the value in the article (2235 meters) is wrong... but I can't say which one out of the other 3 is right, so I propose a wording like "approximately 3000 meters" and to keep the footnote. --81.62.108.29 (talk) 23:34, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Since patents only last 20 years, private ownership of the blanket stitch machine mechanism patent is not possible. Expired patents can not be 'renewed'.
Often a manufacturer will make small changes over the years, and patent some of the changes so that it can claim ongoing ownership, however the only thing owned in this case are any patented alterations in the last 20 years.
