Talk:Aperture masking interferometry

message: Hey I just understand nothing... You put holes in a mask and with magic you get... what, brither images ? sharper images ? better looking images ? and how do those holes help, can anyone explain the magic ?
yes, i can explain. If you read again you will see that the process is used when someone is viewing a bright space object, IE.. a very bright star, the moon, the planets... In the path of light (see the image?) an mask is placed with holes in it. Think of a paper plate with large holes. These holes are placed before the viewers eyepeice in the path of light to limit some of the incoming light from obects that are not wanted to be seen.  This increase resolution and creates a MUCH sharper image because it reduces the runnoff of light from the other objects that are in the field of view. You can test this at home with a True apature mask.  Take a small tellscope and look at the moon with a 20mm eyepeice. you will see that details of the moon are hard to see (if it is a closer to full moon and your telescope is not complete junk :P.) now create a cardboard cutout that creates an oval or circle shape about half as wide as the opening of your telescope and tape to the front. You should see very large improvements on what you can see for detail on the moon. FYI this used to be employed on a large scale basis prior to the release of Filters which now can give you exactly how much incoming light you would like. Hope any of that helps.
Why mention the file format of one of the references? '...as a PostScript file which can be viewed in GSView'.

I was considering which ones to write myself when I saw this the proposal to merge this article with the main article.  Startrek and many other programs are moving towards one article per episode.  It seems to be a natural progression for a medium such as Wikipedia.  Wikipedia certainly has no problem storing the data.  If people want to write the articles and others wish to read them why artificially restrict access to this information?  A merge with the main article would necessarily limit the amount of information that would be stated on each episode.  Let's try to expand Wikipedia not cut it down.

Talk:Comparison of the AK-47 and M16

message: I’m a bit bewildered about the lemma. There’s many distinguishing particularities between the two, beginning with unmatched prevalence (100M vs. a mere 8kk) and development philosophies, regarding caliber and ballistic profiles, etc., and even more eminently, concerning rather recent perspectives, i.e. the AK still happily been deployed around the globe, with the M-16 mostly replaced by civilian and ordinance derivatives. Sure, you can always compare two assault rifles, but both layman and specialist ought to perceive incomparable features of these unrelated makes. And of course the article is far too substantial to be contested, yet still, I find the comparison of those models, to at least some degree, questionable. -- Gohnarch░ 20:56, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  First to feature blood 

message: I was reading about this game, and I found out that it was supposedly permanently banned in the UK. Some sources very trivially mention this (RetroGamer, MobyGames, VeteranGamers), and it's a known "fact" about the game mentioned everywhere else, like, for example, some YouTube videos. However, the two most reliable sources (Kotaku, International Game Museum) don't mention this at all.
This makes me believe that this is all just a rumor or a hoax, but that's a weird rumor to create (why the UK?). I wasn't able to find any "official" statements (from either Exidy or the UK government?), and no pages public before the year 2000 mention it either (thanks Google), but seeing how all of this is more than 30 years old, it'd make sense not being able to find it on the Internet.
So, is anyone from the UK able to confirm (because I'm curious), or provide reliable sources (because it'd be cool to include it on the Wikipedia page)?

Talk:Quadrivium

message: Why not list the elements of the trivium in this logical order: grammar, logic, rhetoric?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.137.239.141 (talk) 2005-08-19, 17:30:38
Okay... can you explain that order, tho?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.116.200.186 (talk) 2005-08-22, 15:54:41
: The trivium was studied before anything else to ensure students from a plethora of backgrounds and languages had common ground to debate on - you should recall that for much of the period, the only University was that of Paris, which organised itself into linguistically and culturally distinct colleges called Nations, such as that of Navarre, representing francophonia. This derived from Crusader and Templar practices, as is evinced in Malta. Grammar came first to ensure there was no semantic confusion, then logic to ensure the ground to be debated was debated in an orderly manner, and finally rhetoric to enable students to be persuasive, as a first step towards propaganda. Be careful, though, not to apply the same taxonomic method to the quadrivium, which considered its subjects in a more eidetic manner.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.129.36.4 (talk) 03:25, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
