Talk:Richard Grenville

message: I've inserted "killing the inhabitants" after the bit where Grenville "sacked and burned" an entire village, on the basis that the Roanoke Island article indicates he burned alive a weroance during what appears to be the same incident, and presumably he murdered a few more men, women and children while burning down their homes.

thread_title: Killing the "natives" for an allegedly stolen cup

message: The author of this article states the following during Grenville's last battle against the Spanish Fleet:
"For 12 hours his crew fought off the Spanish, causing heavy damage to fifteen galleons; ultimately, Grenville wished to blow up the ship, but the crew surrendered, and he died several days later of his wounds. Revenge along with 16 Spanish ships sank during a cyclone soon after."
The above statements sound very doubtful. How could the HMS Revenge have caused so much damage to the attacking Spanish warships with a sick and depleted crew. The rest of the English fleet cut and ran when faced by a superior Spanish fleet, thus leaving no Englishmen to validate that the HMS Revenge could have inflicted such damage. Moreover, if English galleons were that superior to their Spanish rivals, why did they not stay and defeat the Spanish? Its appears to be another case of English lore and imagination being turned into written history. --Scipio-62 (talk) 15:48, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that's the standard account - although no source is cited - and the English definitely gilded the lily. I've read a balanced account of the battle, in which two galleons grappled on to the Revenge on either side but couldn't board because the upper deck was like a killing zone through pistol and caliver shot. The English cannon kept firing in to the galleons at point blank range, which is how the damage was done. But heavy damage to 15 ships? Seems doubtful.--Shtove (talk) 14:13, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

message: The caption on the map says the Spanish Main is shown in brown, which seems to contradict the description in the text.
:The latest version of the caption claimed the land in question was shown in green. Since that was most certainly incorrect (the colour used was a brownish yellow), perhaps because it links to an image that has been changed in another context, I've circumvented the problem by changing the sentence to: Spanish possessions are highlighted.

Talk:Alternating series

message: Anyone care to add a short proof of the Leibniz Test?  I think it would add a lot to the page. Lavaka 05:45, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  proof of Leibniz test 

message: :\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{(-1)^n+1}{n},
This produces a term of zero for every time n is odd and 2/n every time n is even making this sequence the same as the harmonic series.
Is it not supposed to be this sequence instead?
::\sum_{n=1}^\infty (-1)^{n+1} {1 \over n}. 
Also, the proof of the Alternating Series Test has the subscripts switched, namely n + 1 and m. Also it is not explicitly stated how Sn and Sm are necessarily positive, which is necessary for the Cauchy criterion to apply at all, since even though Sm - Sn < an+1, if Sm - Sn is not bounded below by zero, the statement does not imply convergence.

thread_title: Is arbited a typo or a real word?

message: 1. Why is it compared to PCI? Surely we only need to know the facts of its implication, not a blow-by-blow product comparison?
2. Uses unsupported and vague claims which imply non-neutral position, eg: "Autoconfig is much simpler, yet provides the same basic functions". Is it simpler? How? Why should we care? We're not shown it's simpler, nor how this remark has relevance.
3. Re: "PCI allows random access to the configuration space of devices, which requires system registers and I/O lines". So? It's an article about Autoconfig, not PCI. Why are we being told this about PCI? What relevance does it have? Re: "Autoconfig requires no such system hardware". So? It reads like a competitive product comparison, not a neutral factual article about the one topic.
People viewing Wikipedia pages have to be careful about fan and evangelist edits, especially in regards to entries regarding the Commodore Amiga whose fans have a beef with the rest of the computer industry about the failure of the platform which has endured in online flame wars for decades. I recommend apparent fan and enthusiast edits, such as those found in this computing page and others, are removed. Vapourmile (talk) 23:32, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

KING OF PRUSSIA - Great Valley Products Inc., a regular on the Philadelphia Business Journal's list of fastest-growing privately held companies until 1993, has quietly wound up its operations and dissolved.
At its peak in 1992 the computer peripherals company employed about 75 people and sold $31.2 million worth of merchandise. In November of that year, two venture capital firms announced plans to invest $5 million in the hot little company.
Great Valley, which built its business on peripherals for Commodore International Ltd.'s Amiga family of computers, planned to use the venture capital to help diversify its product line into peripherals for IBM-compatible personal computers.
But the diversification came too late.
Amiga-maker Commodore had already begun its downward slide that would lead to its bankruptcy last year.
Great Valley brought one PC peripheral to market, a video capture board, but it was unsuccessful. Other PC products under development were abandoned as Great Valley's revenues and prospects sagged.
A few months after the once $1 billion Commodore filed for voluntary liquidation in the spring of 1994, GVP's directors quietly decided to liquidate GVP.

replies: text:  No, it's because Amiga/68000 fans litter Wikipedia with "information" written from a competitive standpoint. Wherever they can squeeze it in you'll find entries talking or trying to indicate how much better the Amiga was than the PC and how much better the 680x0 series was than the Intel 80x86 series. Usually of course these comparison are cherry picked product comparisons which may highlight perceived advantages from the Amiga/68000 platform, but not the disadvantages. For that reason, I have /helpfully/ added a comparison to VGA. One might even add a product description for the Number #9 Revolution 512x32, probably the first ever 24bit desktop graphics adaptor, available as a plug-in for the PC before the Amiga even came to market.

If it is about the districty of Leszczynskie then it should be in Leszno County.Also it should be clarified if the numbers are difference in census data.

It is permissible to write to only the tenths register to "nudge" the clock into action, in which following a hardware reset, the clock will start at 1:00:00.0. is correct, but data sheet does not mention or even imply this
Due to a bug in many 6526s (see also errata below), the alarm IRQ would not always occur when the seconds component of the alarm time is exactly zero. The workaround is to set the alarm's tenths value to 0.1 seconds. and also the entire errate section should mention a source. also at least the "timer b bug" is doubtful to actually exist (in many years of VICE development no machine could be found that exhibits it) - it may be an urban legend produced by someone who simply observed a partly broken CIA.

* The Freescale M68000 CPU most certainly don't run at 16 MHz. Because it get it's clock from the fpga (Pin101 CPU_CLK).  Which produce this frequency with the clock_dcm() function. Thus 4.433619*(32/5)/4 = 7.0937904 MHz. Which is the standard frequency for an OCS A500 Amiga.
