thread_title:  black triangle 

message: "Black triangle" is a game industry term for reaching a milestone where the substantial code underpinnings are done but there is little visible result. e.g. The team has completed the full rendering pipeline which may involve thousands of lines of code, but the output of the first test of the pipeline results in nothing more than a single black triangle on the screen.
This is strongly related to "bottom up" design. It is also a common point of contention between developers and publishers, as non-engineers are often unable to understand the significance of a black triangle event. Publishers may become unduly concerned about milestone schedules and risk canceling the project because of a lack of visible output. The developer on the other hand feels frustrated because they are aware that large portions of the game are substantially complete and feel that the publisher is ignoring the significance of the work finished.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.14.228.19 (talk) 23:43, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Cynicism (philosophy)/Archive 1

message: The modern usage of the term "cynic" is fairly clearly divorced from the ancient philosophical school.  They should retain separate articles, since they are very much separate ideas. (anon)
I removed the merger template because the ancient school of philosophy is too different from the current meaning of the word, as also described by anon here. Andries 10:50, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: separate articles

message: In the sections 'Antisthenes' and 'Supporters', I found two passages troubling: "The ordinary pleasures of life were for them not merely negligible but positively harmful inasmuch as they interrupted the operation of the will" and "Cynicism emphasizes two principles: [...] the autocracy of the will.".  Is it not the case that the concept of the 'will' is derived from Christian doctrine (Augustine, etc.) and that there is no equivalent word in the Greek?  If I am not mistaken, it would be quite inappropriate to use the concept of the 'will' in articulating Antisthenes cynicism.

message: I answered the call to "Clean Up" this page.  I'm supposed to document what I've done here.  Basically, I rewrote the entire thing from scratch, except, I think, the very first sentence, and I think I adopted a couple of sentences for the "Cynicism in the Roman World" section.  I kept the external links, but I did remove a section on Cynicism in Literature, which had nothing to do with ancient Cynicism.
The stuff about Antisthenes which was here before I moved to the Antisthenes page, (but even then, I cut out a middle section, which seemed too opinionated for my liking - like a lot of these Encyclopædia Britannica 1911 articles.)
Anyway, it's hardly perfect, but I hope this page is bit better now.

Talk:Lists of best-selling albums by country

message: I've been working on the categorization of lists and this one is presenting a problem.  Currently this page is in the Lists of albums category but the sub-list pages are not.  Generally when you have a list of lists like this is you'd put the individual lists into the correct categories and the master list of lists would only go in the List of lists category.  But this is more like a sub-divided list and I'm not sure it would be an improvement to put all three of the sub-lists into the List of albums category instead of this one.
I think the best solution would be to turn this page into a sub-category of Lists of albums and each sub-list would be placed in the new category.  Comments?  --JeffW 18:55, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Aviv

message: It should either be an article or a disambiguation page, i.e. lead to other articles, e.g. Ab (month). -- User:Docu.
The generally used term in scholarly works for the first month in the early Hebrew calendar is abib not aviv.  In the time of the Pentateuch there was no v phoneme.  This is a later development in the Hebrew language. 
If, for instance, you consult the Jewish Encyclopedia, which is available online, the term used is abib. The usage in this article is misleading.

message: Technirama and Super Technirama/Super Technirama 70 were filming technology that used 35mm negative film run horizontally in the camera with the standard pitch 8 perforations.

The process also allowed for optical printing to standard 70mm film with 6-track magnetic stereo. The 70mm prints were made for premiere releases and marketed as Super Technirama.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.64.97.254 (talk) 07:43, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Heckler & Koch HK53

message: Some small errors:
"Although Heckler und Koch states that the Heckler und Koch 53 (short: HK 53) should be considered an assault rifle because it fires the 5.56mm NATO round, many consider it to be a submachine gun because of its small size - virtually identical to the MP5 submachine gun"
-Although would suggest that H&K are wrong to call it an assault rifle, and that it isnt considered as such.
While admittedly compact, it fits the same category as AK47SU, M4, the SCAR-L etc and I have never heard it authoritavely labelled a SMG.
::I'm a little confused about that. It's the HK53, which according to HK's old numbering system means a submachine gun in 5.56x45mm. But then, maybe they called it that simply because there already was an HK33K weapon. ~BobBQ
If you actually look at the MP5's overall length(660mm), you will see quite a lot of "normal" assault rifles that are withing 10% of that.
"The two weapons' dimensions are so similiar, in fact, that many parts are interchangeable between them."
-The 53 has a shorter barrel, but is approx 20% longer then the MP5A3. 
Also, the dimensions have no impact on whether or not specific parts would be interchangeable(although it would help to know which)
The MP5A3 only whens 120g lighter then the HK53, the loaded weight, and weight of extra ammunition increase this quite significantly.
"The gun is useful because it combines the power of an assault rifle, including the ability to penetrate body armor, with the handling characteristics of a submachine gun."
Last part is ambiguous. Handling characteristics could be it's short size(i.e. for urban combat & indoors use), it's characteristics while firing(which are significantly different from the MP5, firing a much heavier cartridge while having a short barrel)
Comments?  Bastion
Change 'handling characteristics' to 'ergonomics'?  That clears it up a little.  Geoff B 02:21, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Flor

message: When flor is described as a "variety" of yeast, does that mean it is different species than other wine-making yeasts?  Thanks.
:According to this page, "The film consists of billions of cells of the wine yeast Saccharomyces cereviseae. However these yeasts are a different race to that of the normal yeast involved in wine fermentation. Recent genetic research has shown that the film consists of five different races the most important being S. beticus, and S. montuliensis. These races have been shown to be genetically similar to each other in that they are all contain genes that make them resistant to both alcohol and to the compound responsible for the distinctly green apple and nutty character of Fino sherries called acetaldehyde. Most importantly, as a result of their higher lipid (fat) content compared with other wine yeasts, they all float - a property which is especially important if they are to contribute to a healthy surface film." Hashashin 05:56, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Here's another page that discusses the different varieties of yeast in flor: "This "velo de flor" in sherry wines is formed by four yeasts, all belonging to the genus Saccharomyces: Saccharomyces beticus, Sacchormyces cheresiensis and Saccharomyces rouxii. The Beticus is the strongest, but it begins to fade as the wine matures. The yeasts are living organisms that flourish in Spring and Autumn, but go into decline in the Summer and Winter, and even die off, their cells sinking to the bottom of the butt to form "the mother of the wine". These cells are replaced through the natural reproduction of the yeast, but in the Winter and Summer the replacement is not complete and the "veil" becomes thinner."

It's an old Household Division practice, their officers held both a Regimental Rank, and a higher Army Rank.
