Talk:Federal Accountability Act

message: This paragraph by an anonymous editor doesn't provide any evidence to support the claim that the FAA is "blind to possible undue monetary influence on government policy by advocacy groups", or why that's notable here even if it is true (the law is also "blind to" murder sentencing...), or why the NCC is singled out for mention. --The Invisible Hand (talk) 01:04, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Timeline of computing 1980–1989

message: This is a terrible title for the content.  The technology in this piece represents about 5% of 1980s computing and none of the important stuff.  Your timeline is just the dumbed-down cheaper copies of existing stuff.  I agree these things eventually became important in the late 1990s.   I don't mean this pejoratively.  
Where, for example, is VMS?   Where is VAX?   Those tools defined the 1980s.

thread_title:  Not 80s Computing 

message: Regarding the IBM PC:
"The machines success was largely due to the openness of its specification, anyone could produce new and improved parts or models of the computer"
Not sure that can be stated as a fact. The original IBM PC was a success with or without clones, probably because it was from IBM and therefore "serious", business oriented with relatively high-resolution text display, and had some important business software. It was a couple years before the clones could take off. Not just anyone could reproduce models: first they had to (legally) reverse engineer IBM's BIOS. Tigen 09:44, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Lowry protein assay

message: The method combines the reactions of cupric ions with the peptide bonds under alkaline conditions (the Biuret method) with the oxidative of aromatic protein residues. The Lowry method is sensitive to protein concentrations as low as 20 ug/mL. The disadvantage of this method is the long incubation time and there are often interferences with commonly used buffers. This method is also subject to protein-to-protein variation due to the correlation of colour intensity dependent on the content of tyrosine and tryptophan in the protein.
Bad redir. Right now "Folin's reagent" sends to "Folin's reagent" - This should not be confused with Folin-Ciocalteu reagent, which is a mixture of sodium tungstate and sodium molybdate that is used to detect phenolic compounds. It should sends to "Folin-Ciocalteu reagent". Maybe I'll fix it later. I don't have much time right now.

Talk:Commander-in-Chief of the Forces

message: I've seen a post on alt.talk.royalty that describes captain-general as "something akin to principal field marshal", which implies that the position was (or became) largely honorary. Could the relationship have been similar to that between the Commandant General Royal Marines — the Royal Marines' professional head — and the Captain General Royal Marines — their titular, ceremonial head? Was the captain-general, in effect, Colonel-in-Chief of the entire Army?
Another possible parallel is Admiral of the Fleet, in the days when there was only one at any one time (at least up to 1805, and maybe later). He was the Royal Navy's senior officer, but he was not its commander-in-chief: that would be the First Lord of the Admiralty, if anyone could be said to be. (One divergence: promotion in the Navy above the rank of captain depended entirely on seniority, so you became Admiral of the Fleet simply by neither dying nor retiring. In the Army, however, that would only get you as far as (full) general: promotion to field marshal was in the gift of the king and his government, as was appointment as captain-general.) — Franey 10:17, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
