my stupidity?
I should receive an award for attacking that horrible ""coldplay"" rock group, whose popularity must be based upon hooking up with McDonalds or Holiday Inn, because that seems to be how music groups get attention in the USA, if they go to bed with some big corporation.
That other editor had the nerve to revoke my edits of a Russian female musician even though he admits limited musical knowledge. Somebody needs to remove the tags from that listing and leave it alone. It would make me very mad to see that listing removed, as some have threatened, that would be the ultimate sin. I mean, this whole notability issue is just senseless. ""coldplay"" is notable for selling records, not quality, and somehow Wikipedia needs to pay more attention to quality, less attention to whether or not a rock musician sells a lot of t-shirts at a Wal-mart in Iowa lol Hell, if Wikipedia lists an artist who only sold one CD, and that CD is high quality, something far superior to ""coldplay,"" then I say, list the musician who sold one CD, and erase ""coldplay.""
You seem like you might ""get it,"" you seem like somebody who might have some common sense, although your photo sure is strange.

gcc has been as good as or better than pgcc for quite a while. pgcc was
was written back in the days when gcc splintered due to a perception of
slow progress on the main branch. A number of Linux distributions wound
up using egcs, partly derived from the pgcc work as I recall. Happiness
was restored to the world with gcc 2.95 and later.

Not really, no. The only instruction of consequence (to gcc anyway)
since the i386 was the CMOV introduced with the Pentium Pro. gcc 2.95
will use that instruction if directed to with -march=pentiumpro and you
will generally get a few percent improvement out of it. Code compiled
with that option will fail on Pentium and earlier processors.

That's the art of instruction scheduling - rearranging the instructions
generated by the compiler such that they make best use of the parallel
("superscalar") pipelines present in a modern CPU. gcc 2.95 has a fair
go at scheduling according to the -mcpu=pentium/pentiumpro option. gcc
3.1 does a better job, and fine tunes for a few more processors such as
athlon and athlon-xp. They're in the process of replacing the compiler's
instruction scheduling with a whole new mechanism that should do an even
better job, but that's a ways down the road yet in gcc 3.3.
As for the exotic extra instructions sets, gcc 3.1 will make use of SSE
or SSE2 instructions instead of 387 instructions if you use the
-mfpmath=sse option and you may see some speed benefit from it, but
there's a chance you may also see incompatibilities. gcc will still use
i387 code for missing functionality in the SSE instruction set (double
precision floats for example).
AFAIK no current gcc will ever use MMX or 3DNOW! instructions though gcc
3.1 enables user code to explicitly generate these instructions with C
code. The kernel sometimes uses these instruction sets to get super-fast
block copies of memory or RAID math but not much else.
> Not sure what improvements the P4 introduce? I think it's mostly just speed
> improvements rather than any execution changes.
P4 introduced SSE2, a _MUCH_ improved version of SSE and a viable
replacement for i387 FPU code. SSE supports only single precision floats
while SSE2 can handle doubles. MMX and SSE shared registers with the FPU
which hobbles them a bit, but SSE2 has its own large, dedicated register
file. So far P4 is the only CPU equipped with SSE2. AMD's x86-64 CPUs
are said to have it as well. Of course x86-64 itself is a whole other
ball game...

Let's try to par with 9/11
7 July 2005 London bombings → – we wouldn't write the ""September 11 attacks"" as ""September 11, 2001 attacks"" and my proposed title will actually make a reference to WP:COMMONNAME, as this bombing spree is usually known simply as ""7/7"" (like ""September 11"", aka ""9/11""). Most media coverage also refers to this as ""7/7"": see this BBC report on the inquest, this article on CNN, the Sky News articles ""7/7 London Bombings: Terror Arrest"" and ""7/7-Style Explosives Found In NY Cemetery"", The Guardian's ""Thousands to mark anniversary of 7/7 London bombings"" article, the ""7/7 Tavistock Square bus bomb"" report seen on Newsnight and ""Is London ready for another 7/7?"" to see a few. Google News has the results as is: 1,600 for ""7 July 2005 London bombings"" and 1,960 for ""7 7 London bombings"". Therefore, amalgamate ""7/7"" as the common name and ""London bombings"" as the description together in the article title and that will make thie article seem more like ""September 11 attacks"" in terms of naming. 92.4.75.68 " | toxic | en |

"==Correct and True Etymology of English words ""Myth, Mythology""==
Greek μυθολογια ""legend, storytelling"" is derived from μυθος ""speech, thought, story, myth"", itself of unknown origin. English mythology is in use since the 15th century, in the meaning ""an exposition of myths"". The current meaning of ""body of myths"" itself dates to 1781 (OED). The adjective mythical dates to 1678; English use of myth is later, first attested in 1830, in its original English meaning of ""untrue story"":
""These two stories are very good illustrations of the origin of myths, by means of which, even the most natural sentiment is traced to its cause in the circumstances of fabulous history."" Westminster Review 12:44 (1830)
This is the earliest known usage of ""myth"" in English. In case anyone didn't know, in 1830 English ""fabulous"" doesn't mean ""wonderfully aesthetic"", it is the adjectival form of ""fable"", that is referring to a fantasy or fairytale. In 1830 the term ""myth"" was new, so it carries what we call a gloss, things ""by means of which even the most natural sentiment is traced to its cause in the circumstances of fabulous (i.e., fictional) history."". This was not only the original use of the word, but the original academic use of the word, note the source, Westminster Review. That is still the way most all people define ""myth"" today. It's for reasons like this, that Wikipedia is so notorious for its mental disconnect with mainstream thought, and its enforced use of its own internal terminology / jargon, or to put it less nicely, doublespeak. (ውይይት)
In 2005, a single-purpose account added ""mythology categories"" to a wide range of articles including Death and Resurrection of Jesus, Virgin Birth, and Transubstantiation, creating a huge uproar. The outcome of the discussions then was overwhelmingly to reject the categories as imflammatory and inappropriate. It was agreed at that time that theological and scriptural articles do not fall into the category of ""mythology"" and today, none of these articles are so categorised, apart from Noah's Ark.
Just last month, WP:RELIGION undertook to move the article ""Yoruba mythology"" to Yoruba religion. This is because the term ""mythology"" is held to be demeaning, because Yoruba religion is still practised today, and the Yoruba who practice it constitute a significant viewpoint. It is indeed regrettable that so much resistance is facing the prospect of extending the same consideration to the canonical Book of Genesis. The Churches have drawn the line by indicating which books they consider canonical, inspired texts. Genesis is among them with no exceptions as far as I know. What gives Wikipedia the right to draw the line so as to exclude other Biblical Books from ""mythology"", but include the stories of Genesis? No books that are considered sacred scripture by ANY large religion of today should be portrayed as ""mythology"". That's simple common sense. We shouldn't call the Quran ""mythology"" either, we shouldn't call anyone's sacred books widely adhered to today ""mythology"". (ውይይት)
Now things like Hesiod and Orpheus are another story, I think the reason Hesiod and Orpheus have conventionally been referred to as ""mythology"" for some time is because no significant numbers of people have ever come forward claiming to believe these books to be historical or literally true since the year 400. At least I will go out on a limb and say I don't know of any, not a single one. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's pretty safe to say they have been discarded, and nobody objects to the conventional use of ""mythology"" for these. But please realize that this is not the case with Christian, Muslim or Bahai writings, nor indeed the writings of many other living religions. (ውይይት)

Keynes merged economics into politics and politicians abused it...unfortunatly economics does not rule politics. I do not believe anything Keynes wrote about can be considered liberal, period.

The only reason Keynes can be considered liberal is because populists, politicians, and the media have conflated them together...ignorance or practicality, I'm not deciding. But government interventions effecting supply and demand, prices etc, are not liberal economic policies. Thus not classical liberal.

Should the games listing come out of the main page and instead go to somewhere like RPG/RPG Listings?
Well, there are also listings in the subgenre articles, so I think we should merge them. 07:28 Jan 16, 2003 (UTC)
I think the more useful distinction is between Role-playing games and Role-playing generally. I'm taking the latter from this page and making a new page just for the more general case.
Also note that I use ""role-playing"" as the generic term more commonly linked to psychological uses because it is so cited in Webster's New World College Dictionary. Moreover, I am adopting the ""role-playing game"" usage (hyphen between role and playing) in order to follow that convention and because it makes sense grammatically (hyphenate compound adjectives modifying a noun).
However I am thinking that ""role-play game"" follows common usage better than ""role-playing game."" But I'm not going to redirect the page now, anyway (Dec. 26, 2001)
No one I know of (and I know lots of gamers) says ""role-play game"". It's always ""role-playing game"", and I am sure that's the most common usage.
Not to sound like a nerd or anything, but White Wolf is not, strictly speaking, a role-playing game. They are a publisher. Their role-playing game universe, World of Darkness, encompasses between 5 and 12 or so (depending on how you count them) role-playing games... OK. I'm really not that much of a nerd... OK.

Isn't Battletech more a table-top war game and not an RPG? I have never played it, but isn't there Mechwarrior, which is an RPG based on Battletech's world? 07:24 Jan 16, 2003 (UTC)
Battletech was purely wargame, then Mechwarrior was made to turn it into an RPG, however they are basically the same thing, Mechwarrior is like AD&Ds; Player Handbook and BattleTech rules are simply the rules for combat, battletech being more complex than AD&D.; Battletech is notable from other RPGs in that correctly played one's character is as mortal as all the enemies one fights, so usually you die. Its basically a wargame where the units have stats which change over the course of a campaign, and most people generally have the commander of their forces represent themselves, thus, an RPG and a wargame. Also its common for the GM or DM to be replaced by a classical referee and then the players, instead of playing as a team, go to war with each other.
Battletech was a miniatures game, based on Japanese anime, in the ""mech"" genre. Later a set of rules was developed that allowed one to play a mech pilot in an ongoing campaign. Battletech was published FASA, which is now out of business. Along with Battletech FASA also published games such as ""Behind Enemy Lines"" (World War Two skirmish game), ""Shadowrun"" (cyberpunk/'magic returns' roleplaying), and ""Earthdawn"" (fantasy roleplaying). At present both Battletech and Earthdawn have found new publishers.
For a list of RPGs I recommend trying the Yahoo and Google directories You will find listings for literally hundreds of games. Have fun.
Finally, when I have it composed I will be uploading an essay on roleplaying games, and why they really aren't games at all. At least not in the traditional sense of a game as something with victory conditions and competition among the participants.
Hope this finds you all well. 15:14 Feb 9, 2003 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Columbia cc.gif
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Columbia cc.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the ""my contributions"" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting ""Image"" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. " | toxic | en |

Replaceable fair use Image:Hirai_006.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Hirai_006.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. tast " | toxic | en |

A large number of links does not prove primary topic. Both the musical & film could be considered primary topic at this point and as there are 4 articles with the same title a disambiguation page is clearly needed. U did not dispute the move, hence I carried out the proper process prior to disam. Frankly u have been nothing but antagonistic and provided no reasoning on my talk page why the move was controversial in any way. Other than making a point about I haven't edited the article before. Also removing the incoming links template is not helpful as the bot will re add it, on its next sweep. Scot " | toxic | en |

It looks like the Miller book cite was only used once on a minor phrase. While I don't think the book can add much substance to the article since it lacks many sources, it's helpful to keep as an ""easy-reading"" bio for a lot of readers. At the other end of the spectrum are books like Holmes, much of which reads like Sigmund Freud, and is equally unsuitable for the article, IMO. Thanks for the clean-up, BTW. " | toxic | en |

I don't have any agenda except bringing the truth to the people. If Wikipedia takes an overly conservative approach, then that's not a feature, it's a bug to be fixed. Same as when editors are too lazy to determine whether a source is credible or a fact is established. | toxic | en |

"Great article! Nevertheless, I think it needs some changes. It needs to be expanded to include also the emergence of the partisan liberation struggle, the Italian repression policies and the ""civil war"" (or whatever you want to call it, I won't insist on disputed terminology) among Slovenians. German administration should also be included, since the province continued to exist after September 1943. The section on the armed forces in the province also needs to be edited.
:About the terminology:
:1)I think Slovenska zaveza should be translated as Slovenian Covenant and not Slovenian Alliance;
:2) I disagree with the denominations White Guard and Blue Guard; for the former we either use ""Village self-defence"" or MVAC, for the latter ""Slovenian Chetniks"", ""Yugoslav Army in the Fatherland"" or the ""Nationalist underground"".

Where's the evidence?
This article clearly has a potential for controversy. I think it is important that Wikipedia remain factual, as opposed to simply opinion. So when someone says that Acorah offers ""overwhelming evidence"" of genuine mediumship, that evidence should be referenced. As far as I am aware, no medium has ever passed a test which proves their abilities, so if such evidence is available, it should be found on Wikipedia!
