replies: text:  "wikt:tara" (or "Ta-ra") meaning "Bye" has been around in the UK for a long time, and may even now be more popular there than "wikt:ta ta", eg quote on wikt:tara page. "Tara for now" meaning "See ya" or "Laters" has also existed for years, but it less common than "Ta ta for now", possibly because of the reinvigoration of "wikt:TTFN" (interesting history, see wikt page) due to its use by Tigger.  I believe the origins of "Ta ta" (about 1823) and "Tara" (also, I believe, 19th century) are similar but separate -- both were originally "baby talk", ie used by adults talking to babies. Probably, "Tara" originated in the north of England and "Ta ta" in the south, but I don't have proof of that. Enginear 00:42, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Ian Hart

message: :Ian did a great performance portraying John Lennon.  He had him down perfectly. The only two things in the movie that I can remember that was not accurate was incident where Stuart Sutcliffe received in head injury and who their drummer was when they found out Stuart Sutcliffe had passed away.  The Beatles (All) were jumped outside an establishment where they'd been playing.  How Stuart recieved in head trauma was correct, but not the incident.  By the time The Beatles returned to Hamburg in 1962, for their last appearances there, Ringo Starr had taken the place of Pete Best.  Otherwise the movie was very accurate and very entertaining.  --Bumpusmills1 13:37, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:RV Tauri

message: From which source is the distance of RV Tauri? Imho 38 ly is much too close. A yellow supergiant in this distance would be much, much brighter than 9.8.
:Assuming an absolute magnitude at max of -4.0 (fairly typical for RV Tau stars) and 1.0 magnitude of dimming due to interstellar absorbtion (just a guess) gives approximate distance of 6000 pc or 20000 ly.

Talk:Parallel Virtual Machine

message: Both Parallel Virtual Machine and Message Passing Interface have conflicting information, and blatant POV.
From Parallel Virtual Machine as of February 6, 2007:
: PVM enables users to exploit their existing computer hardware to solve much larger problems at minimal additional cost. Hundreds of sites around the world are using PVM to solve important scientific, industrial, and medical problems in addition to PVM's use as an educational tool to teach parallel programming. With tens of thousands of users, PVM has become the de facto standard for distributed computing world-wide.
From Message Passing Interface as of February 6, 2007:
: MPI is a de facto standard for communication among the processes modeling a parallel program on a distributed memory system. Often these programs are mapped to clusters, actual distributed memory supercomputers, and to other environments. However, the principal MPI-1 model has no shared memory concept, and MPI-2 has only a limited distributed shared memory concept used in one portion of that set of extensions.
Since both PVM and MPI are used for distributed parallel applications, more or less for the same purpose, but they are incompatible with each other, it is strange that both are de facto standard.

Talk:Famous catholics

message: User:Alibabs added this to a "Reference" heading, as "proof" that Hitler was a Catholic.
The Catholic Prayer page
User:209.74.9.95 added:
Hitler was not Catholic but atheist
Either way, I don't think someone's personal geocities page really counts as an authoritative source.
The heading says that the list includes people who are "Catholic", though they may not be "practising", and may not be "role-models", so on that basis, I guess Hitler counts, as he was baptised a Catholic and was certainly famous.
I think you'll find that Hitler's "religion" was "National Socialism" - he often made references to "God" in his speeches and writings, though it's probably not the "God" that most Catholics (or any other Christians) would recognise. But I don't think you can say that he was an atheist, so I removed 209.74.9.95's comment, which doesn't belong on the article page anyway.
Camillustalk|contribs 13:33, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I did not add that as proof that Hitler was a catholic, I think the link was in place before, and I do not think that a Geocities page can be used as an authoritative resource. Hitler was raised as a catholic but whether his actions in later life have anything to do with his religion can at best be debatable. In mein Kampf Hitler states: "I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord..".  This link provides quite a balanced look at this issue .Alibabs 23:11, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: To be honest, I wouldn't site the "straightdope.com" page as an authoritative source either - again, it's just one guy's personal opinion. However, even with those reservations, if you look at it, it seems to confirm my assertion that Hitler's Relgion was "Nazism", and the site even suggests that when Hitler talked about God, he actually had himself in mind. None of this is really here or there anyway, as this article is just a list of people who are in some way associated with Catholicism, either by baptism (even if they don't profess it in adult life), or by choice, such as Jeb Bush.

Talk:Fuzzy sphere

message: Does the "fuzzy sphere" have anything to do with the "fuzzy logic" proposed by L.Zadeh in 1965?
The article should be placed in a more general context, like which branch of physics is the fuzzy sphere used in?
:No, the fuzzy sphere is not related to 'fuzzy logic'. The fuzzy sphere is an example of a Noncommutative geometry.  Noncommutative geometries are an active area of research in theoretical physics, as these provide a means for regularising quantum field theories. Effectively, the noncommutativity generates an uncertainty relation (akin to heisenberg's uncertainty relationship) that creates a 'fuzziness' of the geometry which 'smears out' divergences. Proponents like Alain Connes claim that a quantum spacetime based on noncommutative geometries will be at the heart of a (still to be developed) all-encompassing theory of quantum gravity. 
:And yes, the article falls short of placing this abstract mathematical concept in context. JocK (talk) 02:52, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I am seriously curious. Because I really hate it when I come to a Wikipedia article only to find that whoever wrote it has no idea how to explain what something is in an introductory sentence or paragraph. So instead they just rattle off whatever unintelligible technical gobbledegook comes into their heads. I'm not saying any of it is wrong. (How could I; I don't understand any of it.) But suppose it  true. Does that even matter if almost nobody understands what you are talking about?
For instance: In the first mention of an algebra of functions that is noncommutative, this seems impossible: If functions from a sphere (a 2-sphere? an n-sphere?) go to the reals or complexes as codomain — and if the algebra operations are the usual ones applying to functions of addition, multiplication and scalar multiplication — then the algebra will certainly be commutative. So why is this most obvious reasoning wrong? The writer never bothers to explain.
What are these "spherical harmonics" spoken of?  No explanation, because the author thinks that letting readers click in order to figure out what the author means is a manner of writing. (It is not writing at all.)  
Then "...whose spin l is equal to some j". What is this trying to say?
Like most authors who think the way to explain something is to assume the reader already knows what they are talking about, this author is badly mistaken.
I hope someone who is a) knowledgeable on the subject, and b) willing to take the trouble to write clearly, will please rewrite the first section intelligibly.2600:1700:E1C0:F340:25EB:BFCF:6103:3A10 (talk) 07:59, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, assuming a knowledge of spherical harmonics is reasonable if the subject is noncommutative geometry. The problem is that truncating a graded commutative algebra can't make it noncommutative, so that can't be what's happening. Hopefully I can read Madore and figure out what's happening.
