Talk:Weak inflection

message: I have moved Beland's tag here from the article itself, in case anyone wants to procede with a complete merger, but I think a compromise is best, and I have attempted this.  There is still a place for a separate article on "strong", but I have shortened it, since the full discussion only has to be conducted once.  That is as good as a merge.  --Doric Loon 13:21, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge proposal

message: The Strong verb article states:
: Note that there is nothing objectively "strong" about a strong form; the term is only meaningful in opposition to "weak" as a means of distinguishing paradigms within a single language. Nor is there any distinguishing feature common to all strong forms, except that they are always counterpoints to "weak" ones.
while this article says:
: In grammar, the term weak (originally coined in German: schwach) is used in opposition to the term strong (stark) to designate a conjugation or declension when a language has two parallel systems. The only constant feature in all the grammatical usages of the word "weak" is that it forms a polarity with "strong"; there is not necessarily any objective "weakness" about the forms so designated.
Erm... is there really no definite definition for this? Strong is not-weak and weak is not-strong. --Swift (talk) 16:33, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That's right, it is a circular definition.  Sorry, but until you peg it down to individual cases, that's the way it is.  Once you talk about strong and weak in English verbs, then you have something definite to define and describe.  We have articles which do that.  But this is kind of an overview article showing all the places where this terminology is used, and since they are very diverse, the definition in the head is going to be extremely vague.  But I think there are enough examples further down to show how it is useful. --Doric Loon (talk) 17:51, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Cdparanoia

message: It is most definitely not Linux-only. For example, the pkgsrc package for cdparanoia has:
ONLY_FOR_PLATFORM=      FreeBSD-*-* NetBSD-*-* Linux-*-* DragonFly-*-* Darwin-*-*
And it's part of FreeBSD ports and works perfectly.
I am not sure to what extent multiple platforms are supported in the upstream repository, but certainly from a practical standpoint cdparanoia is available on multiple platforms.

replies: text: Cdparanoia started as a patch on cdda2wav in 1997. libparanoia did not exist before the cdrtools project extracted the code from cdparanoia and made the code portable in April 2002. The code conversion made for the cdrtools project includes rewriting the code to clean C and changing the interfaces to allow it to be used as a clean library. Later (in February 2007) the interfaces was slightly changes again to support problems found in the Mac OS X dynamic linker. On May 6th 2006, Monty did give the permission to change the license from GPL to LGPLv2.1. The code in cdrtools now includes many bug-fixes mainly to prevent memory leaks and core dumps from memory access problems. The code in cdparanoia-III-10.2 still does not include the library version, it just added comments to the paranoia code. 87.158.110.240 (talk) 21:48, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Unfortunately, most rippers cannot work properly with a large number of CDROM drives in the desktop world today. The most common problem is sporadic or regular clicks and pops in the read sample, regardless of options or settings. The great lesson from coding software for CDROMS the past 15 years is that drives that don't have bugs reading digital audio are exceptionally rare.

message: reverted changes - redundant links and incorrect order of species jimfbleak 17:01, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: From time to time, several IP addresses have been insisting on having this article say that leaf-warblers are "horny".  One of these editors said in an edit summary that this is a commonly used term in ornithology and refers to the beak, but the change has been repeatedly reverted by users and bots who (I assume) think it is sexually related vandalism.  Is there any acceptable alternative term (possibly "horn-beaked" or "horn-billed") that is accepted in the scientific community, would be clear to the average reader, and would avoid the mistaken assumption of vandalism?  Or is this the one and only correct term, and we need to figure out some way to get people to understand and accept this fact?  Or is this whole "horny bird" thing in fact really vandalism (and the claimed explanation is bogus)?  Richwales (talk · contribs) 14:38, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  What kind of bird? 

message: Hi, found this info in this all-german comic forum:
http://www.comicforum.de/comicforum/showthread.php?t=78071
Here the gist: Since the late 1970s, von Drake hasn't appeared anywhere else but in the Disney pocket books, and banned from the weekly/monthly comics at great extent. His last appearance was in "The Secret of the Cod card" (sp?) #27/1976; after that, he was merely given an "encore" in Mickey Mouse #33/1991, which is the only Barks story where Ludwig can be seen in at most 2 pictures.
The reason why, they ask? Well, there's a murmur behind the scenes that the "younger" artists are unable to draw him, for he was not drawn by anyone but the long-time artists Strobl, Murry, K. Wright and Fletcher.
Important also that the banning of Ludwig off the weekly/monthly issues is NOT a German phenomenon, mind you, but even in the Netherlands, they immediately retouche the Ludwig figure out of the comic and replace him by someone else.
Sometimes these stories are drawn completely from scratch (Gyro Gearloose #37/2004) where you will find a remake of the "Ghost Deed no. 27" from Mickey Mouse #7/1964, where Ludwig has been replaced by Gyro. Phew! That's all about it! -andy 80.129.127.151 06:17, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Melniboné

message: Whoever wrote Melniboné was “Atlantis-like” probably had a reason for that, but I, personally, can’t see that many similiarites:
Melniboné isn’t exactly what I would call a “sunken island”, and in Moorcock’s fictional world of the Young Kingdoms it also is far from mythical. As far as I know, it has never been home to any deity, either (Poseidon in the case of Atlantis, or probably Arioch in the case of Melniboné).
The Melnibonéans once ruled over most of the known world (just like the Atlanteans), but their empire was not overthrone in a single war that destroyed their island, but apparently rather fell apart. (Centuries later, the island is conquered, but it persists until the end of the world.)

Also from Stormbringer, "Of mankind nothing was left, save for the three mounted on the dragons" [Elric, Moonglum, and Dyvim Slorm" (page 170, Lancer edition); Elric says " 'You look upon the last of mankind, my friends, save for ourselves'" (page 133, Lancer edition).
