Talk:Datagram Delivery Protocol

message: This page ought to be a disambiguation page.  Although, indeed, DDP is the german acronym, it is very frequently used in English historical works that discuss the party.  Also, seeing as I created a new article with a redirect, you oughtn't have entirely removed any reference to the redirect I created. john 01:01, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Why? Because Germany is subject to this protocol as well, and the DDP is only a German party.  Consider the format used on an entry such as Revelation, no disambiguation simply a link to the bible book at the top of the page, do that same sort of link.  I don't know why you don't see the importance of this protocol, if people come looking for your party they'll click the link right away, it'll be far more rare for them to visit this page then a technie who wants to know about this protocol.  If we had more common acroynms perhaps, but this would work as well as it needs to.   After all, there is more internal linking to this page for the protocol than for your party (in which there was only one to begin with). Daniel
There are only five links for your thing.  At any rate, you still haven't made the case by anything but assertion that the computer term is more important than the historical one.  (A google search on "DDP" doesn't really reveal references to either, I'd note).  For "revelation" there's no other obvious place to put an article on revelation in general.  There's a perfectly obvious place to put an article on this internet protocol, so why shouldn't it be a disambiguation?  It seems to me that a disambiguation should be the default, and that it should be clear why we should have the main article about one meaning of the title rather than the other.  The fact that the DDP was a German party existing in the 20s doesn't mean that it's somehow less important than the other meaning. john 06:31, 27 Feb 2004 (UTC)

text: Look at the page in it's current standing, your link is the first thing that appears, in fact this is a disambiguation page. Daniel

Talk:Human Genome Project

message: Surely a lot has controversy has occured because of the HGP, there should a specific mention to the problems and protest that it has caused. Ghingo
april 2007:
yes there has been a lot of contraversy about this, thanks for bringing that up Ghingo. One set of scholars that springs to mind is Leota Long Dog, who is the author of the 1999 article "whose genes are they" in the Journal of health and social policy, 10.4: 51-66. Among other problematic ethical issues she brings up, she mainly lauds the program as an extension of years of colonization. except now, in our micro-management society, we stay at the level of genes to make racism more palatable. --Lina
January 2016:
The article by Leota Lone Dog criticizes the Human Genome Diversity Project (HGDP), which is not the same thing as the Human Genome Project. The HGDP specifically sampled individuals from historically isolated ethnic groups. --Olle

:From the start of the Human Genome Project, there was discussion of the Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues and some money was put into studying them. That is, to get ahead of any controversy. As well as I know, the biggest controversy had to do with it being a waste of money. Gah4 (talk) 20:44, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Controversy 

message: There is a recent revert related to the date and predictions for date for mapping the genome. Much of the article confuses, or at least doesn't make so obvious the difference, between mapping and sequencing.  At the beginning, it was expected to map the genome first. That is, generate clones, that is, actual pieces of DNA along with their position in the genome, and then sequence them. Much of the ability to finish the genome depended on advances in computing, and some of those advances allowed for whole genome shotgun sequencing at the gigabase scale. That wasn't considered from the beginning. The result of doing shotgun sequencing meant that mapping first wasn't needed. In the end, that sped things up, though also made the result more confusing. Before we get into dates, though, the article needs to separate mapping and sequencing. Gah4 (talk) 00:13, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Greenwich Mean Time

message: In the first sentence, GMT is defined as "mean solar time". However, GMT is based on UTC which is in turn based on the International Atomic Time that is only loosely kept in sync with solar time using the addition of leap seconds. 
I think it should be better to start the article with the explanation that there are multiple (historical) definitions of GMT and then continue to explain them further, because I think that in its current form it's confusing.
Since it seems to be a bit of a controversial topic, I'd like to discuss it on this talk page first. Pinging  as a fellow editor who does a lot work on this article recently. Please let me know what you think. PhotographyEdits (talk) 15:37, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It is a real minefield because some readers have difficulty accepting that it no longer has the status it once had and because "the popular press" tends to use it a synonym for UT. So to find a way to write it that is not seen as pettifogging detail is not going to be easy. How do we say that the actual mean solar time at Greenwich could differ from GMT as reported by the BBC (and NPL), by up to 0.9s? On past experience, hacking that opening sentence is a surefire way to get bogged down. So yes, starting from a different beginning along the lines you propose might well solve the problem. I suggest you post a draft here for discussion. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 16:19, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Howler monkey

message: How loud are howler monkeys? Most online sources call the Blue Whale the loudest animal at 188dB. However if you do all the rigmarole necessary to make a fair comparison between in-air and in-water noises, the BW comes in somewhere between 100-120dB. Perception to humans is also important - the Blue Whale sounds are so low in frequency, that they sound less loud to human ears. These howlers, though, really screech some.

message: I recall (when I was reading a lot of Moorcock way back when), having the suspicion that all the "JC" in all those "JC"-named characters was a play on "Jesus Christ" (with the possible blasphemous inference that Christ himself was an incarnation of the champion), and had some kind of a link to the story in "Behold the Man".

Talk:Motorola 68008

message: I reversed an edit I noticed by a non-logged in user in this article he deleted all the info. TheYapps 03:17, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)

message: "Because of its smaller data bus, it was only about half as fast as a 68000 of the same clock speed. However, it was still faster than competing 8-bit microprocessors, because the 68008's internal architecture was based around a 32-bit architecture."
It's a simple presumption that a 32-bit chip would be faster than an 8-bit chip. But that's not the experience of it. In particular, the Acorn team found this in the early 80's when looking for a successor to the 65C02. The 68008 takes 8 clocks (4 clocks per byte) to read a 16-bit instruction with no parameters. They found that their real software routines could be done faster on a 2 MHz 65C02 than on (and I'm shaky here!) an 8-odd MHz 68000. Add the fact that the 68000 interrupt response time can be very slow (current instruction must be completed first and DIVS takes 158 clocks) and you can see why they ended up developing the ARM :-)
Naturally the 68008 can deal with 16x the memory but a big percentage of applications didn't need more than 64 KB in 1982. So I think this should change to...
"Because of its smaller data bus, it was only about half as fast as a 68000 of the same clock speed. However, it still competed well with other 8-bit microprocessors and had the benefits of its 32-bit programming architecture."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by TonyM101 (talk • contribs) 15:04, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

I think Stoae are more of the classical meaning of porticos in the sense that there are no longer stoa being built, but there are still porticos being built (the US capitol was given as an example). Also, Stoa refers to an actual type of building in Greek architecture, while Portico, I believe, refers to any building that is supported by columns and has a roof (regardless of the area, architectural era, etc.). The location of ancient Stoae was usually near a marketplaces and were used specifically for the things listed in the article, while Porticos were used for random things and not necessarily located near a marketplace. Also, Stoa is used in the actualy naming of the building (used as a proper name when combined with the name of the stoa), and many of the articles that link to "Stoa" are speaking about a specific Stoa (Stoa of Zeus, Royal Stoa, etc.) Stoa 19:56, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
