[edit] why called RIFE?

Midgley 21:08, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Recently reading up on RIFE, I found a statement by G. Bevin where he states that he simply thumbed through the dictionary for a short word suitable for use as a name. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the spot to give you a link and reference. Carl Smotricz 11:19, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV?

I'm on the verge of becoming a RIFE fan and was pleased to see a Wikipedia article on this project/product. However, the tone of the article is glowingly positive and sounds a lot like Geert's own documentation, from which it's apparently been excerpted. That this is so looks to me to be a mild case of an end run around Wikipedia's injunction against submitting one's own research, and consequently the requirement of neutral point of view.

Don't get me wrong: I feel that any article is better than no article, and this one certainly gives a good introduction. But I would like even more to see a not-just-positive discussion. Someone from outside the RIFE team might be able to contribute comments about the learning curve, tool/IDE integration, performance, etc.

I'd volunteer such an update myself, but as yet unfortunately I have no experience with RIFE. Carl Smotricz 11:19, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

I concur. Especially the first pair of paragraphs. Definate aura of a description by a promoter. I would edit but am not familiar enough with RIFE. Bluegerbil 14:33, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Royal Rife Radical Radiation Riteup?

In researching RIFE, most of what I came across are sites about someone's idea of curing cancer with electromagnetism. I strongly suspect that this stuff is pure humbug, but I would have liked to read a discussion about it here in Wikipedia. Again, I'm hesitant to volunteer to do this myself because (a) I know nothing about it other than what I just wrote and (b) I doubt I could keep my personal negative bias out of the article. So... anyone else? Carl Smotricz 11:19, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
