[edit] A friendly question

How can someone who claims to be an "advanced mathematician" at the same time claim that 0.999... does not equal 1? =) –King Bee ^{(τ • γ)} 14:39, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Regarding 1 "One can not have what 1 is not" In the end, infinity is only as infinite at we perceive it to be. If, infinity is computed within the dimensional boundaries of our existence, but not in another's existence, than infinity does in actuality have an end, and therefore is not infinite. It's a quantum-mathematics paradox, and meant to make those familiar with it smile, and confuse and puzzle mathematicians of other studies. It obviously worked.

OK, but what you wrote just makes absolutely no sense. I suppose I was hoping that you would have some rigorous logical reason for "believing" such. Nevermind. –King Bee ^{(τ • γ)} 12:30, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Simply put, .9999... is still not quite there. It's almost 1, but it can never truly be 1. :) Lostinlodos 15:20, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:List of Protestant missionaries killed during the Boxer Rebellion

Hello,

Your comment: "The list is of men who died a very deserving death for their goals; to replace the rational, peaceful Buddhist philosophy with their violent, disgusting enslavement to the cloud people way of life." is both unhelpful and contradictory. If the men who died were the ones who were so violent, why were they the ones who were killed by the advocates of "peaceful" Buddhism? I find this sort of remark to be out of step with Wiki policy on talk pages and if it were made by an anonymous IP address, it would be just as non-constructive but much less surprising.Brian0324 (talk) 15:00, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

You can only poke, prod, stab, and push for so long before a person fights back. The deaths, be it the entire 'rebellion' was a rising against the western imperialists and the invasion of their previously peaceful nation. I've apologised for the lack of usefulness of my comment, though I stand behind the message, and can not apologise for that.

[edit] Burma

Edit warring over a country name is a good way to get blocked. And cutting and pasting the Talk page from one name to another is a copyright violation. Please don't move the article name again without consensus. Corvus cornix_talk 22:23, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

According to ALL and EVERY wikipedia and sub-/partner- project page regarding 'edit warring', by it's various names and terms, I must partake in multiple changes of edits. No such "warring" has taking place as I did not make more than one REVERT or SUBVERT edit. I also did not cut and paste, I was simply blocked out before finishing the modification (changes made since I hit the edit tag). I've been here quite some time. You, or others ma block my account if you wish for removing a political bias and point-of-view, for updating a collection of articles to CURRENT INTERNATIONAL REALITY, but call it as it is and don't hide behind fantasy charges of actions I did not commit. As for copyright, I am a legal practitioner (records and licence verifiable), I am well aware of what copyright is and challenge you to prove that I violated any such legal regulation and that the intended finished set of edits (a re-direct) would have violated any legal law.

Rather than attack; you would find a more interested listening reaction by discussing. Your charges are unfounded and statements of claimed or intended criminal activity without proof and documented evidence, as well as court decision (copyright violation) to any party other than site management, the claimed infringer, or law-enforcement, is a good way to find yourself in serious legal trouble. Wikipedia has various copyright DISPUTE tags you could have notified me with. You are flat out WRONG in the statement that I have violated copyright. You have now committed an act of defamation in public record. Do NOT do that again, to myself or anyone else.

Take into account I'm not threatening you, I'm warning you; use your head! My intentions AS STATED ON MY USER PAGE are to remain politically neutral. The current Myanmar series of redirects (fact: there is no legally recognized entity in current existence know as or with the inclusion of Burma) are a spider's web mess. Half the wikipedia SITE's links go nowhere. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Redirect#Undesirable_edirects. How-about another fact of this situation; I was working from the bottom of the pile up; to correct EVERY redirect. That's something no one else has taken the time to do, including yourself.

One does not have to agree with a situation to admit it exists. I myself practice a branch-offshoot of Buddhist Philosophy. Personally knowing people who live there, and having visited Myanmar; I feel deeply for the people struggling in that country. My personal feelings did not hinder in my recognition of the legal reality that the country is not called Burma. When completed; the series of edits, would have be complete, USABLE, correct, and free from POV.

Please point to where you discussed this move and obtained consensus prior to making it. Also point to where you did a MOVE instead of a copy and paste edit which lost the edit history and therefore violated copyright. Corvus cornix_talk 23:27, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

First sentence; Which move are you referring to? And since when has consensus been required for a (redirect)? No move was intended and no move would have existed in the final edit; only redirects. In order to pull out each separate thread from the big tangled mess; and guarantee I could both back-track and recover (in the extreme case) if something came up lost along the way and didn't match up. Again, you came out of the gate attacking; that's not the way to discuss a matter. Backtracking it looks like what you are referring to was a missed sandbox edit (I hit save rather than show preview, or save on the wrong page; it happens to those guys with 10k+ edits too!. Oops, move on.... Unfortunately another edit attempt was made before I could revert my own mistake, and that's when your message poped up. The Myanmar issue is a hotly controversial subject. Editing (as proven here by my not finishing before changes were made)takes place constantly and it is difficult to stay ahead of the pack inorder to get things untangled. Rather than continue on, I'd let you hash it out here with me first.

If the reference was to the copying of the article itself; GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE HISTORY FOR BOTH YOURSELF and you see they were identical prior to my edit (part of the redirect mess). It was a temporary fix and the save was again inadvertent and would have been temporary if the re-redirect did not occur. .

As for copyright violations; all six international copyright treaties recognized by the United Nations, the World Court of Justice, and the World Criminal Court require INTENT to commit.

Lostinlodos 07:22, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

You didn't redirect Burma to Union of Myanmar, you copied the text out of the Burma article and pasted it into the Union of Myanmar article. And don't give me international law, what you did is violation of Wikipedia policy. Corvus cornix_talk 17:35, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

End of that discussion! The final result did not violate any policy. The final result did not violate copyright lay (nor did the incidental edits). I will quote law when you falsely state that I violate it. And by the way; do a side by side comparison of the "cut and paste" edit ON THE SAME PAGE (pay attention to the redirects before you make claims) As I said; unintentional save page click vs show preview. No history was lost.

You failed on all three counts against me. I am terminating this discussion as you are obviously no more willing to give on the subject (here) as I. If you still feel I've made some grievous error, feel free to forward this discussion to a site authority/administrator and allow them to contact me. There is nowhere else for this discussion to go now between us. Lostinlodos 18:59, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

So are you saying that this is not a cut and paste? Corvus cornix_talk 23:37, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#User:Lostinlodos. Corvus cornix_talk 23:44, 4 December 2007 (UTC) No; that was unintentional; as is said on the talk page there as well, or atleast one of them, Myanmar has four talk pages now. That was NOT supposed to be on that page but an edit (again check history) was made at the redirected redirect prior to my saving the initial redirect therefore creating a copy rather than a nothing different. Whilst you may be a great and mighty being free from all flaw, us normal people make mistakes, for the 6th time, that's unintentional, I'm sorry, if I had caught it myself prior to your (rather quick, and overzealous) message I would have reverted it myself.

COPY FROM TALK PAGE:

I know this is quite old and outdated at this point, but I apologize anyway for an older edit from the improper unrecognized name Burma to the proper recognized Myanmar as the poster who scolded me was correct as I now see/notice that it was a copy and not a move. That "copy" page was supposed to be a /sandbox page, not a real page. Again I apologize....Lostinlodos (talk) 16:43, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] General Motors

I can't confirm any dealerships actually offering 2008 Daewoos in the United States at all. Parts, perhaps, but not cars.

As for Geo, I drive past one of the nation's largest Chevy dealers on nearly a daily basis, and have yet to see a new Geo on their lot since they removed the Geo sign years ago. Nor can I find any reference to any vehicles by those names.

In addition, the EPA's fueleconomy.gov site does not list anything under the Daewoo or Geo makes, even as sub-brands of Saab or Chevy, respectively. Nor can I find them on edmunds.com or kbb.com. Combined, this leads me to conclude that any appearance of 2008 models in the US is because they have been imported by a third party, not the manufacturer, and therefore should not be considered active brands in North America.--Scottr76 (talk) 07:57, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

My assumption from your other work here is that you live in, near, or around Detroit, MI. It's unfortunate that Detroit is still stuck in the old ways, but their not on the map of any manufacture, domestic or otherwise, for green or selected products; primarily because surveys, all posted in stock holder's quarterlies, show that the general population in that local is not interested in them, or in paying extra for green versions of existing models. GM isn't going to make the mistake of pushing a product on a populous not interested in it, until they are mandated to do so.

Daewoo cars are imported to select (progressive) markets by authorized GM dealers, including Chicago, St Louis, LA, New York, Boston, Denver, Madison, and Minneapolis (that I know of). Since the FDOT considers any product sold to be an active brand/line, I'll go by their definition. The three Chevy Geo models are manufactured at the Janesville, Wisconsin (who's primary product is SUVs and pickup trucks.) The 2007 4th quarter Stock Holders Catalogue and Manual claims that 60000 2007 Geo models were ordered, and that there is a waiting list for 2008s; they're also sold in the noted markets, and under the Opel brand overseas. http://www.gmdat.com/kor/index.jsp Lostinlodos (talk) 11:11, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Super Famicom

Quoted from User talk:Anomie:
“	The Famicom Disk System was a magnetic disk media reader for for the NES. The Super FamiDisc was a Magnetic/Floptical disk/{c} system for the Super Famicom. I've reverted AND edited in the reference to the separate units. The second one also played the FDS games as well.(they're also both sitting in front of me :) As a side note, you also removed the CD add-on and data card games from from NeoGeo! How anyone can contribute so well to video game articles and not recall the NeoGeo CD is beyond me. Lostinlodos (talk) 06:15, 7 January 2008 (UTC)	”

I saw an edit mentioning the non-SFC "Famicom Disc System", something called "FamiDrive" that has next to no Google hits, and a reference to "Floptical" that I could only find mention of related to an early SFC prototype. If you can supply some sort of reliable source related to the existence of any of this when you re-add the information, that would be helpful.

As for the NeoGeo CD edit, I overlooked that. Sorry! Not that I'm terribly clear on how it relates to the actual NeoGeo, and not that I've ever actually seen either of them. ;) Anomie ⚔ 06:27, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

RE; your response on my page... I believe I edited over my reference tag in the last edit. My bad. Added it back in for you to check if you will. The NeoGeo CD unit had a dozen or more different flavours and was never really "finalized" in its design nor method. It was, however, quite popular over in Eastern Europe and Asia. You had the kind that plugged into the side (like the 2.0 Sega CD), the kind that plugged into the expansion port in the bottom or the one in the back (ala Sega CD 1.x). There was a third-party coupler that plugged into the side panel version of the drive and slid into the card port on the unit. Japan and Korea even shared a unit that was all in one (I believe some parts of Europe had seen it as well), much like the Neptune CDX. It was the most de-centralized "official" system, historically, but also the most sought after. Working ones still sell for over $100. online an over $2 in fan-shops. Lostinlodos (talk) 07:07, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Except for the lack of a page number, author, publisher, and publication date, the reference looks ok (in general, try to include as much of the information asked for by {{cite book}} as you can, although use of the actual template is optional). I was hoping for something I had access to so I could learn more about this, but such is life. I Googled for the "FamiDisc" you mentioned earlier and checked the (filter forced edit)www. digitpress (dot) com/ website for the Digital Press you referenced, but still no luck for me. Anomie ⚔ 13:10, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

The book is often made available from 3rd party sellers on Amazon, 'though it's out of print now. I believe there are 3 editions of their 3 "editions" (generational coverage), and that I know of atleast 7 revisions of the first two books. I fixed the reference tag with the standard use template.

[edit] HD DVD

Unfortunately the standard name for Blu-ray Disc has a lower case r and a capital D. Hence "Blu-ray Disc" and not "Blu-Ray Disc" is correct. Actually the sentence also has an additional error since the name is Blu-ray Disc, so it should something like be "... that could read both HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc." The 2nd D in HD DVD also stands for disc. And I believe only the first word of headers and proper nouns are capitalized. PaleAqua (talk) 14:12, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Also I apologize for not leaving a better edit summary for that change. I thought that the description that 212.32.82.101 was okay when they original made the change, but should have said as much in my edit. PaleAqua (talk) 14:18, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

The campaign includes seeking your assistance in:

Or just anything you can do to help us just like what you are doing there at the English Wikipedia.

Thank you in advance and regards, Tagalog Wikipedia Community

Finally, Wikipedia is the 7^th most visited site in the Philippines. Then why is it that the Tagalog Wikipedia, the Wikipedia in your own language remains unknown to most of the Filipinos? The mission of this campaign is to change that. Will you join us?

[edit] HD DVD

I fixed the formatting of the reference links that you added for CH-DVD to HD DVD. Unfortunately I can not read Chinese so not sure if I got the title for the ZD Net article correct. Could you double check that I got it right thanks. PaleAqua (talk) 17:39, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE: ECW Hardcore TV

Ah, okay. I see now what you meant.

Well, actually, when they switched away from the NWA, the theme became this:

The opening notes of "Closer", as the letters of E-X-T-R-E-M-E flashed onto the screen, interspersed with short footage clips.
THEN the "Thunderkiss '65" kicked in, and continued for the rest of the intro.

Two different songs, one intro, that's why I wrote "mix" in the box. Read the Closer (Nine Inch Nails song) article, it probably explains it better.

In the future, if you have issue with one particular point, please just change that and explain why. Don't just revert a whole edit because of an issue with one small part of it. My edit had also included modifications to reference citations, they had nothing to do with the theme music. But your revert changed them back into unusable links.

TravelingCat (talk) 19:51, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

I just re-read what you wrote. It's incorrect. "This is Extreme!" did not exist until 1997. From 1994 to 1997, they used the mix of "Closer"/"Thunderkiss '65" I described above.

See this page for verification: "The opening theme music used to consist of a combination of Nine Inch Nails' "Closer" (the heartbeat that spells out E-X-T-R-E-M-E) which cuts to White Zombie's "Thunderkiss '65" (the guitar part and the Pitbull's music). After Barely Legal, they switched a specially written, non-commercial piece of music as their new theme." Barely Legal was April 1997. If you still don't believe this, then I'll find more pages that back it up.

Maybe you're watching ECW on the WWE 24/7 network, I don't know. But if that's the case, then WWE probably just isn't using the original music for licensing reasons.TravelingCat (talk) 20:00, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] CH-DVD

Hi Lostinlodos, I appreciate your concerns about the CH-DVD article. I'm sure your changes are made in good faith. However, I don't believe all the changes were accurate. There are major technology publications that have been following the progress of CH-DVD, but none of them are reporting that the product has been released. If you need a space to prepare your article changes before you make them, you can use a Sandbox, or create one on your user pages, then copy & paste the completed information to the article. I've discussed the article changes on the discussion page. Regards, Lester 22:58, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
