Talk:Theory of criminal justice

message: This is mostly an attempt to give some context to the viewpoints on pages dealing with specific types of criminal justice.  There seems to be a lot of confusion, especially in retributive justice and restorative justice.  I do not claim to be an expert on this topic, but I know enough to see that an article dealing with the theory of criminal justice as distinct from the practice of criminal justice is warranted. CyborgTosser 21:39, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)

message: I have found a few things in this article which don't make much sense to me. While they may not be wrong, it seems to me that if the issues were more clearly expressed it would be more useful to the general reader:
*"A popular moralistic basis for punishment is that punishment of a wrongdoer is good in and of itself. ... However, there are other moral arguments for punishment. These include the idea that victims have a right to retribution, or that the criminal has a right to punishment." I can see how retribution as an aim is not punishment in and of itself, but saying that the criminal has a right to punishment does not express why punishment is good other than in and of itself.
*"Punishment under retroactive laws can not possibly accomplish deterrence." Is this true? If an act is punished by a law which was not in force at the time, there was no deterrant at the time, but I don't see why the effect of the punishment as a deterrent against repeat or other offenders is any less than any other situation.
*"However, some theories would argue that the amount of punishment is not important at all. For example, if the purpose of punishment is incapacitation, the fact that a jail sentence is undesirable to the offender is irrelevant." If the purpose of punishment is incapacitation, the desires of the offender are indeed irrelevant. However, it is not made clear what this has to do with the amount of punishment. While it does rule out using the amount required to achieve deterrence as a benchmark, it definitely doesn't say that the amount of punishment is not important at all.
I hope someone can address these points for me. Of course, it would also be good if this article had some references. JPD (talk) 15:38, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Samson Agonistes

message: Milton is making a Greek pun that it is not easy to render in English.  The straightforward translation would be "Samson the Warrior", fitting the hero's reputation, but it can also be rendered "Samson in Conflict", because he spends the play trying to make sense of his tragic situation.

thread_title:  Japanese oppresion of Oroqen during Manchukuo and WW2 

message: Aisin Gioro Y chomosome DNA was found in "Xibe, Outer Mongolians, Inner Mongolians, Ewenki, Oroqen, Manchu, and Hezhe" males and number around 1 million people. Their ancestor was Nurhaci's grandfather Giocangga, whose descendants made up the Qing dynasty nobility. But the Y chromosome was not found in the general Han Chinese population.
The Y chromosome cluster is specifically C3c, part of the General Haplogroup C-M217, which Genghis Khan's lineage is a part of, although the Manchu Aisin Gioro Y chromosome is part of a different cluster than Genghis Khan's
The reason it spread among these specific minority groups, but not among the Han Chinese population, is because the Qing Manchu nobility was concentrated specifically in the ethnically Manchu Eight Banners and not in the Mongolian and Han Eight Banners, and the specific ethnic groups which made up the Manchu Eight banners were "Manchu, Mongolian, Daur, Oroqen, Ewenki, Xibe".

message: This does not appear to be an official part of the GNUstep project per the Introduction to GNUstep page, which specifically states that "GNUstep is not an operating system clone. It is not a distribution of GNU/Linux, FreeBSD or any other operating system now, nor will it be in the future. Although other people may decide to package an operating system with GNUstep as a front end."
Things that are not officially part of the GNUstep project should not be presented here as if they are. If the GNUSTEP Live CD is indeed a notable Linux distro, it should have it's own article, which should be named GNUSTEP (operating system). Then it could be mentioned and linked in this article provided it's made clear it is not part of the project. Or it could simply be listed in the See also section....

Talk:EconMult

message: It would be helpful if you could clarify the distinction between the following: 
* The model as a mathematical system describing the interrelation of variables.  These are basically equations(or iteration schemes or something abstract)
* Implementation of computer program (in mathematica) that run simulations based on the abstract model.
This I believe would also be helpful to your research.

You are of course quite right in the distinction you make between the mathematical formulation of a model and the practical implementation.

thread_title:  MBR bootloader 

message: Just a minor comment regarding section PXELINUX:
 “The PXE environment uses DHCP or BOOTP to enable basic TCP/IP networking, then downloads a bootstrap program via TFTP.”
TCP is not used in PXE
PXE ¶3: “This distinctive firmware layer makes available at the client the functions of a basic Universal Network Driver Interface (UNDI), a minimalistic UDP/IP stack, a Preboot (DHCP) client module and a TFTP client module, together forming the PXE application programming interfaces”
; or BOOTP See section 2, Overview: “This RFC describes an IP/UDP bootstrap protocol (BOOTP) which allows a diskless client machine to discover its own IP address, the address of a server host, and the name of a file to be loaded into memory and executed.”
 or TFTP(TFTP) See section "1. Purpose: 
TFTP ... has been implemented on top of the Internet User Datagram protocol (UDP or Datagram)
; it might be implemented by the bootstrap program, but this is not the case for PXELINUX. Whether the operating system uses TCP, is outside the scope of PXELINUX. So, for clarity, “basic TCP/IP networking” should be “minimalistic UDP/IP networking”. – Kenneyw (talk) 23:01, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Christopher Wren

message: What is the problem here people?  His date of death is listed as 8 March 1723 [O.S. 25 February].  WRONG!  Old style should state 25 February 1722!  Again for those who don't know or don't care about actual history, England started the new year on 25 March starting from around the 12th or 13th century until 1753 when the Gregorian calendar came into effect.  Until that time they were on the Julian calendar which was 11 days behind the Gregorian calendar.  The article also quotes a stone plaque beneath the center of St. Paul's Cathedral that alledgedly says, "SUBTUS CONDITUR HUIUS ECCLESIÆ ET VRBIS CONDITOR CHRISTOPHORUS WREN, QUI VIXIT ANNOS ULTRA NONAGINTA, NON SIBI SED BONO PUBLICO. LECTOR SI MONUMENTUM REQUIRIS CIRCUMSPICE Obijt XXV Feb: An°: MDCCXXIII Æt: XCI."  Somebody please provide a photo of that plaque, because if it really does say 1723 in Roman numerals, that means he was 92, not 91, when he died.  This has been discussed many a time on this talk page until sometime recently when it was removed.  Until such time as it is fixed to the proper dates and protected from being changed by some idiot who doesn't know a damn thing about history and how things worked in the England of the middle ages to Rennaisance period and thinks January 1st has always been New Years Day since time immemorial.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:A9B0:527F:8521:4451:BCD6:82A3 (talk) 07:34, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
