replies: text: My grandmother, born sometime around 1900, always called it Housey. I was told that's because people shout "House!" when they want to claim the game. --Northernhenge (talk) 18:38, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Born in and lived all my life in Australia, and I'd never heard of "Housie" until a clue on Jeopardy told me that that's what it's called here.  Imagine my surprise.

thread_title: Trivia section moved here

message: Does anyone ever call "Legs eleven, eleven"?  In my experience, it's always just "Legs eleven", in which case the list should give simply "Legs" for consistency.  Similarly, what about "Sweet" and "Blind"?
And why have the generic calls (All the fours, etc.) been given alongside a few of them, but not others?
The generic call for all the single figures is "On its own, number".  Is the word "number" sometimes omitted only in the case of 1?
But then again, I've never played in a bingo hall, only in informal games for small prizes, so I don't know how much difference that would make.... -- Smjg 16:51, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This discussion has been moved from Talk:Bingo (US) since it's more appropriate here.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Amarillo Design Bureau Inc.

message: Obviously all it takes is tens of thousands of hits in google to be listed in Wikipedia... Wikipedia - "Not a Reputable Source" and I understand why that is more-so now than before - carry on with your trivial little political fairy play.
As a gamer myself, I know the history - my challenge of Mr. Roberts posting was clearly an effort to make an accurate correction where the text is misleading to people who do not know much about wargaming. Mr. Roberts is NOT the father of wargaming - that title distinctly goes to H.G. Wells and is documented in many independent sources - Mr. Roberts claim is not. Mr. Roberts is a notable person in the gaming industry as I tried to convey, but the misleading characterization of being the "Father of Wargaming" is completely inaccurate. If you choose to not see that and want to blame your political empire building turf actions on my being slighted by the deletion of a company listing - by all means. It just goes to further illustrate the political nature of Wikipedia and reinforces the reasons behind the ban on its use in educational institutions across the country.
Carry On...
: The concept of consensus includes that sometimes you are going to be on the losing side of debate, and that when you are, you need to accept the fact graciously and move on.  Plainly you thought highly enough of Wikipedia before more people (many of whom have at least as good credentials and as longstanding experience in the hobby as you) disagreed with you on a certain issue than agreed with you.  What has changed is that you disagree both with our rules and with the stance of certain editors on those issues ... but I expect were a student to enter your classroom and declare he was going to do what he wanted, study what he pleased, and get an A from you anyway, and go to pronounce your explanations of rules, policies, custom and expected decorum "mumbo jumbo," you would neither be amused nor predict much in the way of success.    Ravenswing  02:46, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Halbach cylinder

message: I think a mention of the halbach cylinder with respect to the anti-clockwise and clockwise rotation of the magnets should be made, namely that the Anti-clockwise rotation of the magnetic dipoles around the circle or ring of magnets produces an augmented field on the outer of the ring, and a depleted or cancled field on the inner of the ring. Likewise, and inversely, the Clockwise rotation of the magnets produces augmentation on the inner of the ring, and the depletion of the feild on the outer.
Note: it is important that the reference direction around the ring of magnets be clock wise. i.e. looking at the pole orientation of each magnet moving from magnet to magnet in a clockwise direction around the ring.
--Garretkrampe 01:13, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure if there's a formal definition of Halbach array. It seems to me though that the term 'Halbach array' could apply to three dimensional layouts of magnets as well, so it might be a good idea to combine Halbach array and Halbach cylinder together into one article with redirects.

Talk:G.726

message: Does fax qualify as a "modem" in the context of this article even through fax is half duplex?  I just wanted to point out that I have my ata setup to not try and change the codec to ulaw when a fax goes through.  So that both voice and fax calls use the same settings.  The reason why is I had trouble with high network jitter breaking up the call audio, and switching to g.726 reduced the jitter due to it using fewer packets.  Well anyway I routinely send 9600 faxes over g.726 with the 24kbps data rate.  So in my situation, using a lower bandwidth codec is actually better.  66.114.93.6 (talk) 20:12, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Voip: G.726 and faxing 

message: G.726 makes use of a 6-th order backward adaptive predictor as well as adaptive differential coding. This substantial extra complexity is implemented to get tones, especially DTMF ones, through without serious quality degradation, and to avoid repeated degradations in tandem operation.
In contrast, IMA ADPCM does not have the adaptive predictor, which makes it a much simpler algorithm, although the quality suffers especially on the stationary signal. 87.97.49.34 (talk) 09:32, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  IBM PC 

message: I've also read the reason for beige was that it was the same colour as dust. That way the machines would still look OK even if they had some dust on them. Compare with dust on something black. // Liftarn (talk)
The YouTube video Why Are Old Computers Beige? offers the most likely explanation I've heard for the phenomenon.  From page 174 of the book ThinkPad: A Different Shade of Blue, as quoted in the video:
On a perhaps related note, there was a version of the C64 popular in Germany (now known as the Aldi C64, after the German supermarket, although it was sold elsewhere too) that had a cream-coloured keyboard before the also-cream-coloured slimmer C64C was released worldwide.

message: *The 50-70 was originally loaded with a 450 grain bullet. I have a copy of the original US army manual which states this.

It is very difficult to get people to carpool, even giving them a special, uncongested lane in rushhour doesn't work, although it is quite convenient for those wishing to make dates or family trips when the freeways are full of commuters! If this standard does catch on, it will result in making intelligent choices more difficult for consumers, and the guy with the Hummer H2 will actually be able to claim that he gets better mileage than many motorcycles - gag.

message: This article, and most of the articles about species of cownose rays Rhinoptera, assign the genus to Rhinopteridae.  Yet the article about Rhinoptera bonasus (simply identified as cownose ray) classifies it in Myliodontidae.  Both systems appear in other literature, and seem to rest on a possibly endless disagreement whether rhinopterids warrant family or subfamily status.

On further inspection, it seems to me that User:Shultman directly copied large portions of this article from the official website.
