thread_title:  Change of page name to Similarity function 

message: In the following paragraph, the phrasing struck me as perhaps having been lifted from another webpage. (Ironic to me because I'm looking up similarity matrices for use in text comparison!) I'm now thinking it was just abandoned during editing. I've highlighted the copy I find "off" or lacking context. 
:Amino acid similarity matrices are more complicated, because there are 20 amino acids coded for by the genetic code, and so a larger number of possible substitutions. Therefore, the similarity matrix for amino acids contains 400 entries (although it is usually symmetric). The first approach scored all amino acid changes equally. A later refinement was to determine amino acid similarities based on how many base changes were required to change a codon to code for that amino acid. This model is better, but it doesn't take into account the selective pressure of amino acid changes. Better models took into account the chemical properties of amino acids.
Someone who knows bioinformatics better than I do should correct it and the paragraph which follows it so it makes more sense. --Dhugot (talk) 07:37, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:A Fork in the Tale

message: ==Untitled==
Ahem.
When I was younger, I found a demo cd that had several games on it.  There were:
The Space Bar, Lose Your Marbles, Obsidian, A Fork in the Tale...
and one other.
But I can not for the life of me remember the other one.
Someone, if you remember that demo cd (probably not, but worth a shot), let me know what the fifth title was.  I know it had something to do with royalty and space wars and some guy with a crown burning to death, possibly a phoenix connection.
Once I have that fifth one, I can add information about the demo cd having those five on it to each of their pages, if someone wishes.

Talk:Pete Peterson

message: In the previous version of this page, the term VietCong is used for National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam. Eventhough, it is a popular term, it carries a political message, and technically it does not correctly identify the organization. Please visit the site about NFL for more information about the term. I quote here:
"the name "Việt Cộng", came from the Vietnamese term for Vietnamese Communist (Việt Nam Cộng Sản) and was popularized by Ngo Dinh Diem, first president of South Vietnam, in his Denounce the Communists Campaign."
The term was invented for anti-Communism purpose, consider the fact the Wikipedia, we should try not to use it, unless in very narrow context.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Traanf (talk • contribs) 16:13, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
