Talk:The Fionavar Tapestry

message: Removed from article as non-NPOV:
In his writing, Kay manages to capture what has eluded so many of his colleagues in the fantasy genre: a pervading sense of reality in his world intermingled with elements mythical and fantastical to create a complex weaving of many different tones and patterns, an almost total antithesis to the one-dimensional settings of many a fantasy book or movie. His writing is also quite merciless at times, almost (but never quite) to the point of repugnance, resulting in an emotional intensity typically lacking from the works of lesser authors.

According to the historical records the Huotong Mountains (霍童山) in the Jiaocheng District is one of the holy places of Taoism and Buddhism. According to legends, the Yellow Emperor (4500 years ago) visited the Huotong Mountains. It is said that Emperor Yao (4500 years ago) conferred a title upon the Taimou Mountains (太姥).

Talk:Common cause and special cause (statistics)

message: I read the account in the article, which is clear enough, with some surprise. Two failures have a "common cause" if both are caused by the same thing. When your aircraft flies over a volcano and all the engines go out because volcanic dust has melted all over the combustion chambers and turbine blades, there is no sense in saying this was more improbable than the failure of one engine, because the same events and the same logic apply to each engine. Since this is a different but important usage of the same term, with relevance to statistics, perhaps someone more knowledgeable than me about the field could put some kind of note into the article?

Talk:Time-division multiplexing

message: this page should stick to just the concept (perhaps with brief examples) of time-division multiplexing, and the in-depth information on cell phone systems should be placed elsewhere. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.112.86.171 (talk • contribs) 07:37, 9 June 2005‎
This page doesn't identify whether time division multiplexing uses a time quantum for each slice or slot or whether the slice (or slot) can be variable in duration. Would the term slice be a synonym for slot?
Multiplexing is the simple part. Arbitration for the resource (the output channel) is the hard part and is only briefly and indirectly suggested in the section on statistical TDM. Perhaps somebody with more knowledge can elaborate.
Links to frequency division multiplexing might be appropriate.
Also, TDM is not limited to digital systems. Analog TDM has been around for years as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.221.5.234 (talk • contribs) 16:01, 13 June 2006‎
* How is it that TDM can be analog (or digital)? It's time-division; there's inherently nothing analog or digital about it. The TDM aspect is irrelevant and unrelated to whether the communication that occurs over the channel is analog or digital. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.55.52.11 (talk • contribs) 22:03, 12 November 2008‎
TDM is also not limited to communication systems, for example TDM could be used to control an array of LEDs while reducing the pin count on the  array and controller circuits.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.24.6.134 (talk) 23:42, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

"He was a promising mathematician and chess player as a child, winning several national mathematics championships and 'was in line for becoming a chess master' before giving up after realising that the higher levels of competitive chess are merely about the competition rather than the fun of playing.""
But the idea that "the higher levels of competitive chess are merely about the competition rather than the fun of playing" -- no matter how many people may believe it -- is a matter of opinion, not fact.  So I changed the word "realising" to "coming to believe", which seems to me to be a neutral way of describing what Borcherds was reported as believing.
