Talk:Gigabit

message: If Gb is the same as 125 MB, why is it used instead of calling it 125 MB (such as '1250 MB Ethernet')? --217.70.211.11 (talk) 19:39, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It's been a convention for decades to measure network connection bandwidth in bits, not bytes. Perhaps because it's simple to convert it to Hertz and back: 1 bit/s = 1 Hz. (although in modern data transmission, it's far more complicated). -- intgr [talk] 12:39, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It is not just a matter of convention, networking hardware transmits bit units, not byte units at the fundamental level. Some networking protocols require more than 8 transmitted bits to transmit one byte of data, e.g., RS-232 transmits parity and stop bits with each character.

Talk:Commutation test

message: This page has doubtful quality. First, it starts with "Discussion". That's very unsual since discussion usually is about uncertainties and is placed in the end of article. Second, the discussion has little to with the commutation test at all, but about other semiotic theories that should be exposed elsewhere.  Third, there seems to be a tendency to interpret the commutation test within a cognitive framework, whereas it was developed within a structuralist framework. The article should not identify itself with one particular framework, but rather explain how the different approaches uses the commutation test. 
I have moved the discussion to the end of the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bjerke (talk • contribs) 06:05, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
Talk:Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions

message: The source listed claiming the organization is conservative/pro-business checks out, but I found another source claiming almost the opposite (that the organization is more left-wing or socialist-esque). What should be done? HapHaxion (talk / contribs) 11:56, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: That's what I originally thought, then I looked up the first source, and saw the claim that the organization was pro-business, which at least in my mind, tends to rule out left-leaning positions. You rarely see even social-democratic parties described as pro-business unless they espouse more Third Way policies. The sources seem to be at-odds with one another. The only thing I can think of as to why this is may be that since the leftist organization is pro-Beijing, that makes it conservative by HK standards? Or maybe they're just pragmatic and switch positions? Not sure though. HapHaxion (talk / contribs) 13:38, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Bandar Utama

message: The second secondary school of Bandar Utama is opposite Centrepoint and was recently opened in 2004. It consists mostly of Kayu Ara residents and "dark skinned" students.
The third and fourth secondary schools are in BU3 and BU4 respectively. Both opened at the same time but BU4 currently has more students due to their sweet-talking and "promote-oriented" headmistress. The BU3 school is slowly expanding and has a bad name because it is known for its "bully teachers".''
As someone who is familiar with all three schools mentioned, I think the "dark skinned" comment is not only POV but unwarranted; I've seen a fair number of Chinese studying there. The sentences on BU4 and BU3 are too weasel wordy, IMO, and in an inappropriate tone for an encyclopaedia. I wouldn't argue with those claims, though. Johnleemk | Talk 14:01, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Questions, questions... 

message: I'm going to delete some stuff here that seems unreferenced and contentious such as:
1)The reason for the opening of so many schools (9 in total, not inclusive of the college) in the Bandar Utama area was because the developers of the area decided not to build low-cost houses (which is a requirement by the government for every housing estate to have low-cost homes), as low-cost homes would not profit the developers. In exchange for not building low-cost houses, the developers instead built a number of schools and a community centre as a trade-off in a deal with the local government (MPPJ)
2)and the allegation of gangsterism problems in DU and Dj
Unless someone comes up with some references. I live in BU, I know these things are more or less true (though describing DJ as "not entirely free from gangsterism" is a bit of an understatement) but this violates No original research. Borisblue 05:44, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

I have just added a section on Afrikanerbond policies since the end of apartheid. --Gozar 04:32, 10 July 2005 (UTC
This article appears to confuse two different organisations, the Broederbond which is what this article mainly seems to be referring to, and the Afrikaner Bond, advocated by the Rev S.J.du Toit in 1879 and led by Jan Hendrik Hofmeyer "Onze Jan" for many years. It was on open parliamentary party in the Cape Colony and cooperated with Cecil Rhodes and later John X Merriman to form governing coalitions.. It should not be confused with the secretive Broederbond and the title of this entry should be changed to represnt this.
Denis Nathan 16:05, 6th November 2005
i have never heard of the Afrikaner Bond, however, i was under the impression that the Broederbond was renamed after apartheid ended to Afrikanerbond. that being said, we could add a disambiguation or 'for other usages' link at the top of the page to what i assume is currently a non-existant article on the Afrikaner Bond of the late 1800s. --Gozar 02:40, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Talk:List of snakes of Trinidad and Tobago

message: Comments:
Almost ready to go. Personally I would like to see more prose and a clearer image or even more images, but that is not essential. Some minor issues follow...
*Intro has some short paragraphs which could be merged or expanded (e.g. with information on how common these snakes are on T and T or whether there are any endemic snakes...)
*"sp." and "spp." should be explained somehow (in a footnote or so).
*I understand referencing the cells with "yes", but why referencing the species name (sometimes and not always)?
*Jargon "monotypic" could be explained shortly in prose.
*Possibly "...three Subfamily..." -> "...three subfamilies..."!?
*There is no intro for the "Subfamily Dipsadinae" section.
*Note 34 is unreferenced
*Possibly "...found all over the world, except in..."-> "...found all over the world, except for..."!?
*In the "Family Colubridae" section, possibly "...are found on Trinidad and Tobago." -> "...are found in Trinidad and Tobago." (since the country is meant here). Same for the "Family Elapidae" and "Family Viperidae" sections.
