This article really additional information.  Such as the segemented memory model of the x86 architecture and how this translates to the address lines of the chip.  Also the 8042 chip should be mentioned in relation to its role with the A20 line.  Mention AT and XT arcitectures.

All u = constant and v = constant lines in the (u, v) space, and, in particular, all four edges of the deformed (u, v) unit square are Bézier curves.
you really mean to say that the _images_ of these lines are Bezier curves, don't you?  This is what people mean by a Bezier curve;  the image.  (Notwithstanding that in differential geometry 'curve' technically means the mapping itself.  And yes, these lines (u=const, v=const)in the domain itself are also trivially Bezier curves, but no way do you mean that -- you write too well for any such unbridled pedantry)

Talk:Belladonna lily

message: This is probably the weirdest software bug I've seen on Wikipedia, and that's saying something. :)
I was going over this article preparing to delete it because it was listed on VfD over a week.  I see in the history that it purports to have been created by IP# 209.98.3.203, which is impossible.  That is my IP address, it is static and I have had it continuously for over a year (longer than I've been on Wikipedia).  And I did not create the article.
However, about the same time as the articles creation, I was working on fixing up another article, Hippeastrum, which originally contained (I think) the exact same text as this one.  (Except for the title, and I didn't create the title either, I'd previously never even heard the term "belladonna lily.")
Is this related to the "edit conflict" problems I've seen mentioned in passing?
Hephaestos 17:35, 31 Jul 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: Might it not be related to the way "Moving" is implemented (it's sort of misnamed if I understand it): When someone "moves" Hippeastrum -> Belladonna lily, what actually happens is the old page (which you created) is renamed Belladonna lily, and a new page called "Hippeastrum" is created with a redirect on it. So you wind up "credited" with creating a page whose name you've never heard of... -- Someone else 17:42, 31 Jul 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: Aha.  So if someone moved "Hippeastrum" to "Belladonna lily" while I was editing "Hippeastrum," that would do it?  Makes a little more sense now I guess. - Hephaestos 17:47, 31 Jul 2003 (UTC)
