Talk:1875 British Columbia general election

message: Because of a comment on Walkem's biography page, and elsewhere in other Wikipedia pages, concerning Vancouver Island having "disproportionate" representation, it provoked me to start giving representation-rate figures for each riding just to establish what's what numerically - although there was good reason why 19th C politicians didn't follow the modern bias towards rep-by-pop (inherently an urban-oriented voting system, where larger populations subsume the democratic rights of lesser-populated areas within the same voting districts); and in point of fact it was the Mainland which had the disproportionate representation (Kootenay, for instance, had no reason to be a two-member riding; if Victoria City had the same number of seats/voter.....well, there'd not be much point in the Kootenay or anywhere else joining in a "democracy" with the Island.  Anyway, I guess I'll work out a table format for these figures; and I also have to figure out how the multiple member ridings worked; I think it was two votes per voter in a two-member riding, three per three, etc; which affects the ratios again (maybe).Skookum1 09:08, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

My name is donna frydas and i am a direct descendant of your towns name sake Peter Lee. He is my great great grandfather; I am very interested in the history of your town, i found it interesting that the town was only built because the people wanted it after the 2nd war. i live in Australia and if any one would like to contact me they can at mightypies19@hotmail.com please write i would love to hear from you. 
thanks Donna.
I lived in Peterlee and taught in Dene House comp in the early eighties; I remember a girl telling me that she was descended from Peter Lee on her mother's side.  It was quite a big family, so there must be lots of descendents by now. Peterlee had more than its fair share of problems even then, but most of the people were decent and warmhearted.

Talk:Relangi (actor)

message: According to official sources like for example Ministry of home affairs Relangi Venkata Ramaiah was awarded the Padma Shri in 1970, not 1954. Note that he is indeed in the Padma Shri Awards (1970-1979) article. I removed him from the Padma Shri Awards (1954-1959) yesterday. Using Google I can find many sites saying that Relangi Venkata Ramaiah got the award in 1954, but most probably the source is either Wikipedia or the same erroneous source.

Talk:Tetrisphere

message: 'Changed the word "torus" to "grid." There's no telling where the torus myth got started, but the game stores the playfield in an ordinary array with three dimensions; in no way a torus.'
Start a new game, remove some pieces, then scroll around the board. After moving 32 squares in any of the 8 cardinal directions, you end up where you started. This behavior has the same topology as a torus. Yes, the program stores the playfield in a grid, but the edges of the grid are handled as if the north and south edges and the west and east edges are glued together. --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 20:40, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I understand that. They call it "wrapping." If X < 0 Then X = X + Width. While a grid applied to a torus will result in this kind of wrapping, the play field itself looks nothing like a torus. Consider Pac-Man. If you go through the tunnel on the right side of the screen, you end up on the left side of the screen. Does this mean that the play field in Pac-Man is a torus? --12.214.116.18 (talk) 17:58, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  A playfield that wraps in one dimension (west-east or north-south), as in Pac-Man, is homeomorphic to a cylinder. A playfield that wraps in both, as in Tetrisphere, is homeomorphic to a torus. This torus is is the cartesian product of the north-south circle with the west-east circle; each of these circles is 32 units long. --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 03:08, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: "The underlying topology of the game's playfield more closely resembles a grid of 32x32 squares per layer, wrapped at the edges, than a sphere." - The underlying topology is that of a torus.  The argument that it doesn't look or feel like a torus holds no weight when considering the topology. If Pac-Man had multiple tunnels at the top/bottom and sides it's topology would also be that of a torus, and indeed there are a number of games, such as the very early Space War, that can play that way.  1dragon (talk) 15:06, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: For those interested in the sphere Vs torus debate, here's - https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/3d805y/ff7_takes_place_on_a_doughnut/ - an interesting discussion that in part points out that many games have a similar layout (that joins right to left, and top to bottom) and are essentially the equivalent to toruses (donuts).  It's counter-intuitive to think this way for the game Tetrisphere, as the gameplay is visually represented as a ball/sphere.

Talk:Control panel (Mac OS)

message: Zillions of Control Panels having been released by third-party companies during the years of pre- OS X Macintosh, and I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to make - be it just very simple - a list of all the control panels that could be dug up and say what their use was, who were the developpers, and which system(s) it ran on. 
This way, a developper who is looking for fresh new ideas could come look at the list and propose the original developpers to transport these CP into today's OSes, Vista, OS X v.5, etc. It would also allow users who are looking for a transport of their once-beloved CPs to find it easily. Then maybe a page named "Third-Party Control Panels (Macintosh)" would need to be created.
