Talk:Cleanroom software engineering

message: I recall the use of "cleanroom software development" to mean that one develops a piece of software based on known specifications (perhaps from an existing product), but making careful recordings and proofs that the developers never consulted nor used any proprietary information from other parties, particularly from the existing product whose specifications are followed.
The use of such cleanroom development is usually to duplicate the functions of a known product, without fringing upon somebody else rights.
For example, one could take a certain version of propriatary Unix and take a snapshot of all of its functions and assemble a team to re-develop the whole system.
In such a development process, the team must follow rigorous procedures approved by an IP attorney to ensure that the product so developed is completely legal.
I seem to recall that a version of BIOS was so developed during the early PC days.  But I could be wrong.
Of course, such a process does not protect the developer from infringing upon patent rights. --Yuanliu 14:31, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you're looking for clean room design (which applies to more than software engineering). There's a pointer to the other article at the top of this one, but perhaps it's not phrased clearly enough. I've tried to improve it. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve it further?--Allan McInnes (talk) 15:22, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  cleanroom software development in the legal sense 

message: Currently, the article says that cleanroom combines formal methods, statistical quality control, and statistical testing. I think an expanded article might mention formal specications, proofs of correctness, Fagan inspections (at which specifications and proofs are examined), and iterative development (which allows quality measurements to feeback into the level of rigor of successive iterations). -- RLV 151.190.254.108 (talk) 14:20, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

message: The stated visibility of Malvern Hills removed.  An examination of the online OS mapping shows that a direct line from Alport Height to the Worcestershire Beacon cross the high ground of CLent Hills, Walton Hill and Romsey Hill.   https://www.udeuschle.de/panoramas/makepanoramas_en.htm which generates panoramas for specified locations shows the Four Stones, Walton Hill and Romsey Hill, but nothing further in that direction.  An alternative source, RadioMobile https://www.ve2dbe.com/ which shows curved earth paths intended for radio transmissions, also shows that direct sight of Malvern is blocked.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bivier (talk • contribs) 15:03, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

I drew a dead straight line (using Bing Maps' measuring tool and the Ordnance Survey overlay) between the summit of North Hill in the Malverns (397m) to Alport Height (314m) and there's nothing bang on that line that's higher than the latter – but it goes very close to the summit of the Clent Hills (315m).

Talk:Cars

message: This article had been a redirect to Cars (film).  After seeing the list of articles that link to it and viewing a sampling of them, I decided it would be more appropriate to redirect it to Automobile, though I debated about redirecting it to Car (disambiguation) instead.  Feel free to discuss if you do not concur.  --Mwalimu59 00:11, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I could see "car" being directed to "automobile," but perhaps not "cars," as it is the proper name of a famous movie.  I'd say it should direct to the Disney movie, if not the disambiguation page; at the very least "automobile" should have a link to the Disney movie. Esprix (talk) 15:35, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I went ahead and made this change - "cars" now redirects to "Cars (film)" with a redirect note to see "car (disambiguation)" (which includes links to both "automobile" and "Cars (film)").  --Esprix (talk) 05:29, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It's common practice to redirect plural forms to the singular. Seems to me despite their being a well-known film named Cars, the plural of car still means car much more often and should simply be redirected to automobile, as car is. I redirected it back to this, I'll start a new section on Talk:Automobile for more input. LonelyMarble (talk) 05:27, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Charles Lucien Bonaparte

message: According to 'The Birders Handbook' he was Napoleon's younger brother, not his nephew...
----
He was of course his nephew. However it is an idiocy to put the line of Princes of Canino as "Pretenders to the Imperial Throne of France". The Lucien Bonaparte (Canino) line was excluded form succession by both Napoleon I and Napoleon III and had no right to use the title of "Imperial Highnesses".--Alexvonf 09:16, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Bonaparte was raised in Italy, married in Belgium, spent considerable time in the United States, and settled in Rome, where he not only was elected to office, but performed military service.  He spent just the last seven years of his life living in France.

Talk:Margaret Fuller

message: Its removal is fine with me; even more than confusing, it is unnecessary, and the sentences before and after it flow better without it. Moreover, the citation to page xi is wrong, but I couldn't find the right page. Page xi is at amazon.com, and the quotation is not on it. I found the quotation at Google Books, but Google Books doesn't provide page numbers. I am suspicious of the other page citations in the paragraph as well. The person who put them in used "pp" to designate "page" (singular) and capitalized the first letter in the Roman numbers, e.g., Xi. I fixed those errors, but couldn't check the page numbers.Maurice Magnus (talk) 02:21, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
