message: I know of no important TM research later than the late 80s. I myself wrote a tiny experimental system called TRANSFORMULATOR at the TAUM project for MT at the University of Montreal in 1970-71, but it was just a precursor and nobody cared about it. So far as I know, the early work that led to commercialisation of the concept was done by Flemming Svanholm and his team at IBM European Language Services, Denmark,around 1989 and was marketed as part of IBM's TRANSLATIONMANAGER in the early 1990s. The implementation of TM was due not just to the concept but also to the vast increase in cheap, fast computer storage. Translatology (talk) 12:06, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Folk rock

message: "Dylan's decision to record with an electric backing band had been influenced by a number of factors, including the Beatles' coupling of folk derived chord progressions and beat music, the Byrds' rock adaptation of "Mr. Tambourine Man." This makes little sense. As it is stated just above that the recording of Bringing it all Back Home was wrapped up before the Byrds recorded Mr. Tambourine Man. 80.216.164.75 (talk) 20:20, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The Byrds' version of "Mr. Tambourine Man" influenced Dylan to record with an electric band because he had come to one of the Byrds' rehearsals in late 1964 and listened to them play it. He liked what the band had done with his song and enthusiasticly exclaimed, "Wow, man! You can dance to that!" This was some months before the start of recording sessions for Bringing It All Back Home. The "Mr. Tambourine Man" article and the main Byrds article have more details on this. I have now added a brief comment with supporting reference explaining this in the relevant "Bob Dylan" section of the article. --Kohoutek1138 (talk) 16:19, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Thoughts ? ShahofHyrcania (talk) 22:39, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Three thoughts: (1) It's not almost guaranteed - the Ptolemies and Seleucids both ruled kingdoms of larger scale and nevertheless used the "mere" title of basileus. (2) Wikipedia requires that all statements on the page be supported by reliable sources - even if you believe something, you can't add it to the encyclopedia unless there is a source for it. (3) This is particularly important in cases like the Graeco-Bactrians, where the sources are limited - if we don't restrict ourselves to what is actually known, we're writing fiction, not history.

Talk:Circle of confusion

message: Yeah, see "... Viewing conditions. If the final image is viewed at approximately 25 cm, a final-image CoC of 0.2 mm often is appropriate. A comfortable viewing distance is also one at which the angle of view is approximately 60° (Ray 2000, 52); at a distance of 25 cm, this corresponds to about 30 cm, approximately the diagonal of an 8″×10″ image (A4 paper is ~8"×11″) ..."
So, who wants to link mm and inches equivalents for every dimension reference?

thread_title:  Love the mm and " mixed in the same paragraphs with no relation or equivalence ... not 

message: Note that this definition of CoC is base for a final image obtained from a 35mm full frame format and that all other formats are enlarged to obtain a final image of the same size. The differences in enlargement causes the difference in the required CoC of the image on the film or sensor to maintain the same CoC of e.g. 0.2mm on the final image.
When making identical enlargements from different formats, so an object from the original image, captured at the same focal distance, will have the same size on the final images, the CoC is identical for all formats. Only the outer size of the final image will differ equaly to the difference in size between the formats.
Furthermore, in digital photography, a comparison often starts from a 1:1 representation of the sensor pixels on a screen. In this case it will be a differences in the resolution (pixels per inch) of the sensor that will lead to different enlargements.
These different approaches to obtain and compare a final image have lead to many misunderstandings and errors when discussing focus and dept of focus differences between sensors of different format and/or resolution.Johnny Swinnen (talk) 23:48, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

message: Whoever created the formulas and diagram used nonstandard notation. The standard notation is "o" for object distance and "i" for image distance.

Talk:Printer point

message: I don't know what is it.
The definition is valid for DIN degrees.
----
I don't know what it is either.  Let's scrap it unless we find someone who can cite a source.  The only points I know of are color correction (CC) points, which are hundredths of a decade.  E.g. a CC +5M filter is magenta, by attenuating green light, dividing its intensity by 10 to the power 5/100.
The DIN/ISO speed steps are not points, but degrees, I think. Dicklyon 05:33, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

This film title appears intended to allude to the old children's song of the same title, which has no Wikipedia article.

message: This article has been rewritten with appropriate sources. I am removing the third party tag. Should any additional citations be needed they can be found by doing a Google Scholar search for Susan Blackmore and going to any of the many journal articles citing her books and articles. The references that remain to her own work are to support the direct quotations and have been referenced with third party sources that cite the articles quoted. If an editor has the time her work in Memetics could be expanded and if truly necessary the direct quotes could be converted to prose based on third party sources. Her work in parapsychology and the paranormal could also be further detailed. - - MrBill3 (talk) 11:11, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

There's no reference to TAM in the body of the article, nor does to photo caption provide a link or explain what that apparent acronym stands for.

Also, the second photo (the one of the autographed book) doesn't seem to be relevant to anything in the body of the article. There is no explanation of who Susan Gerbic is, nor does the name link to anything.  It's also not clear what "fakers" Blackmore is referring to, and the suggestion that she won't fight the fakers (whatever that means) seems to be at odds with the description of her as a skeptic.

message: There is a Taylor Swift album on CD. When you put that CD in the optical disc drive, two things show up in Ubuntu:
* "Audio CD", and
* "/media/ubuntu/Enhanced Content" ("Enhanced Content" is a folder and a mountpoint)
With mixed mode CDs, cdrdao detects "AUDIO" tracks and "DATA" tracks. Oddly, IIRC (I am pretty sure I do), cdrdao detected only audio tracks with said CD. I think the directory name "Enhanced Content" indicates that that CD is an Enhanced CD. Also, that folder contained .mov files, or other types of files in various different folders. CD audio does not have a filesystem, but regular files and directories in a CD are part of a filesystem.
