Talk:Montezuma's Revenge (illness)

message: This is a question for the medical community about traveling in ancient days. When Augustine moved from Carthage to Rome, he reports in his Confessions that "Rome welcomed me with the scourge of bodily illness." Would it have been common-- almost expected-- for travelers to get very sick in the 5th century? Without any clean drinking water ANYWHERE, would all travelers have to develop resistance to new bacteria wherever they went?
YES
Modern people are spoiled by sanitation. All bacteria was local, and most human waste went into the water supply from somewhere upstream. The Egyptians invented beer because they had to boil their water to make it safe to drink, and since they were boiling water anyway, why not make beer? The Greeks and Romans cultivated wines because germs cant live in alcohol.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.112.91.104 (talk) 22:06, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

message: :"the physical size of the Pacific island state is less than half that of Nauru House's the floor space"
This sounds too peculiar to be true, and it probably is. The area of Nauru is 21 km2, equal to 21 million m2. The floor space of Nauru house is listed as 50,500m2. So somebody forgot three zeroes before they made this allegation. --Sasper 21:10, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

message: (It was widely thought that the physical size of the Pacific island state is less than half that of Nauru House's the floor space. This is in fact incorrect, as 1 sq km = 1 000 000 sq m and the island is 21 sq km which equates to 21 000 000 sq m. The building therefore only makes up 0.24% of Nauru's land area)

thread_title:  VDP defn? 

message: The Karl Guttag source appears to be nonsense in its claims that, "Back in the late 1970s, only very high-end CAD computers could afford a frame buffer. The TMS9918 was the first consumer device to use DRAM...." The Apple II, which was released two years earlier (June 1977), used both DRAM and a bit-mapped frame buffer for its high-res graphics. Further, sprites are not what saves memory for graphics but instead using "characters" is what saves the memory if your set of character glyphs is small enough that you cannot fill every character slot with a different character glyph. (This is obviously not true of Mode 2.) Because of these obvious issues, I've removed from the article the statement that "The TMS9918 was the first consumer device to use DRAM. Because enough DRAM to store a complete frame buffer was too expensive at the time, the TMS9918 uses sprites." Cjs (talk) 18:11, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Atlantis PbeM

message: I find the page very messy, and I feel like organizing it a little, but will ask for input first.
* We should seperate the Atlantis history and make a separate History section for the Atlantis code base. In general, the code and the actual games and variants using it should be separated more clearly.
* Why is there no link to http://www.atlantis-pbem.org/?
* There is no mention of Atlantis 5.0, instead 4.0.10 is advertised as the current version. Isn't that wrong?
* I think that listing maintainers is okay, but sn't Jan Rietema the current maintainer?
* Should this page contain links to running games? I know it's tempting to get your game advertisement here, but think that kind of information doesn't belong into an encyclopedia, and is already well covered by Greg Lindahl's site.
* There are a number of derivative games that are significantly different from Atlanis, as well as reimplementations, that still trace their original roots to Atlantis. I would suggest we give them an extra section.
* Graphical clients should get a separate section.
Enno
Maybe we should even rename the Page. Like Enno said, there are more games related to Atlantis in their code-base (ancestors and descendants), but not Named Atlantis and with a separated code-base. Olympia and Erresea for example (Tarmelion and Wyred I count as Atlantis games, since they still have the same code-base). And I think we should put our heads together to create this page with all the colourful history of this game (code history and playing history wise). But we would need a significant name...
Version 5.0 should be mentioned, that's right, I think the page hasn't been updated regarding the available code-base for a long time :) Even 4.0.10 has quite a lot subversions...
