Hi I added absolute values to the formula ad-bc so that the sign is correct. Thanks!:) Rpchase 23:31, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] shannon sampling
Hi Omegatron, thanks for your quick reply on my question on the Nyquist-Shannon_sampling_theorem. It helped a lot! There only is one thing i haven't understood clearly: let's imagine a soundcard that samples audio input at 44 KHz (you see, the same with your explanation). What the soundcard does, is it takes a record of the voltage every .000025 seconds.
If you drew all those recorded values on a time-voltage diagram (time being the variable), you'd get a diagram full of dots. To reconstruct the original signal, you could draw lines between each dot and its next neighbor.
That would be quite a close approximation, but you couldn't find out what happened between those .000025-second-snapshots. Maybe there was a high voltage burst (being a Dirac distribution for example) somewhere between the intervall 1.000025 s and 1.000030 s.
Maybe you understand the problem I see - but maybe I just made a mistake at some point in my thought.
Thank you for your help, --Abdull 18:56, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Very correct. However, the dots with spaces between them actually DO have all the information in the original signal. As long as they are at most .000025 seconds apart. That's the whole essence of the theorem. You just have to get it back out in the correct way. I can't think of a simple explanation, but I will try. If you were to connect them as you described, with a straight line between (
i think this is called a first-order hold), you would not reproduce the original signal. What you actually do in a real system is even cruder! You just make a horizontal line out from each dot like stairsteps (this is a zero-order hold, i think). The thing is, you are creating extra frequencies above 22 kHz when you do that, perfect multiples of the original frequencies. If you then filtered out those higher frequencies, you would smooth out the horizontal lines into exactly the original signal. As long as the original signal doesn't go above 22 kHz, you can reproduce it exactly with sampling at 44 kHz. It's hard to explain. (When you've figured it out, help me make the article easy for beginners to understand.) Here's some diagrams http://cnx.rice.edu/content/m10402/latest/ - Omegatron 19:23, Nov 15, 2004 (UTC)
- Perhaps if I and a few others try to explain it a few more times, one of the explanations will "stick". Then hopefully you can figure out why the article is confusing and fix it.

[edit] Root Beer
There is one distinctive smell that helps me identify root beer as root beer. the root beer article lists a lot of herbs, but i can't believe that all those herbs are responsible for the special taste of root beer - can someone say which ingredients make up most of the root beer taste?
Thanks, --Abdull 16:22, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Only my opinion but it has to be the anise that lies at the base of the taste with other flavourings adding various tones to it.Dainamo 28 June 2005 23:20 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Impact of Muppet Show
I think the answer is the same as for the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. The show(s) appealed not only to all youth, but to adults also. Very few shows do so... until the youth reach a more mature age. On the Muppet Show, obviously the muppets are an attraction for youth, and looking at the list of guest stars, a pattern of diverse celebrities appealing to a wide adult audience are found. Plus the interaction between the muppets and the guest stars took on a more adult (yet light hearted) angle, unlike the interactions on Sesame Street (which was specifically intended to entertain youth ).
[edit] Common Clothes Moth
Hi, I saw your comment in Talk:List of moths about there being no article for Tineola biselliella (Common Clothes Moth is the common English name). I'm doing a load of moth articles at the moment and I will do one for this species if you'd like. Alternatively why not try writing an article yourself? If you decide to give it a bash, I would recommend calling it Common Clothes Moth and putting the scientific name as a redirect. Taxobox format can be seen in any of the existing moth articles. If you have any questions, drop them on my talk page, thanks Richard Barlow 2 July 2005 09:22 (UTC)
[edit] Diamond vs Graphite
I saw your question on the Talk page for metastability in molecules listed on Recent Changes, and quite fortuitously I happened to be able to provide (what I hope is) a clear, simple, comprehensible answer. Have a look. DS 12:46, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Amis
Hallo, ich habe gerade eben deine Frage gelesen, die du vorgestern auf die talk page des America's Army artikels geschrieben hast. Klar, dass für einen Deutschen so ein Spiel merkwürdig wirkt, aber in den USA würde ich es als geradezu natürlich bezeichnen.
Dort werden die Hochschulen von (unehrlichen) Rekrutern heimgesucht und durch Bushs no child left behind Regelung ist das sogar noch extremer geworden. Und Schulen können und dürfen dagegen auch nichts machen. Die haben in den USA eben keine Wehrpflicht mehr, aber Rekruten brauchen die trotzdem für ihre Kriege. Ich habe mal in einem Artikel gelesen, dass viele Filme von der US Armee durch konstenlose Waffen oder ähnliches profitieren, wenn denen das Drehbuch "gefällt", was die Army wahrscheinlich im Gegenzug auch "aufbessern" darf. In einer Reportage (Fokus TV oder so etwas) wurden Rekruter der Marine oder Navy (alle Zweige des US Militärs machen so etwas) gezeigt, wie sie herumliefen und junge Leute auf der Straße von den angebilchen Vorteilen ihrer Organisation volllabertern. In diesem Kontext muss man auch Americas Army sehen.
Ähnlich wie ni Deutschland wird America's Army wie jedes andere Spiel nach Gewalt oder Sex im Spiel von den Prüfstellen gewertet wird. Selbst im Fernsehen werden Filme auch nicht nach der Botschaft, sondern nach ähnlichen Kriterien bewertet, selbst wenn es Betrug ist wie zB (wenn dir der Sender etwas sagt) Neun Lives Ratespiele. Was natürlich America's Army von Fernseh- oder Internetwerbung für die US Armee (gibt es natürlich auch) unterscheidet ist das subtile: es sieht fast so aus wie jedes andere Spiel. Aber hat das Spiel keinen Effekt? Nun, die Typen, die am Projekt beteiligt waren, waren Professoren und Experten, die sich schon damit auskennen. Man wirft ja nich mehrere Millionen US Dollar für nichts aus dem Fenster, oder? =)NightBeAsT 21:42, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Den Schritt würde ich wirklich begrüßen, doch weiß ich nicht, ob du damit durchkommst, so ohne Referenzen. Ich habe den Artikel ziemlich geprägt und nicht dass ich im Unrecht war, aber nie hatte ich sehr viel Unterstützung bei meinen edits. Der Artikel hat schon unter mehreren edit schlachten gelitten, wie auch die talk page dokumentiert (knapp die Hälfte der Talk page stammt von mir). Wenn du Informationen für deine Edits brauchst, kann ich dir wirklich helfen, aber pass auf, denn zB Ele9699, der erst kürzlich America's Army maps und classes unter einem anderen Nickname erstellt hat, bereitet bestimmt jetzt schon die Version Bauchschmerzen. Frag mich einfach, wenn du über irgendetwas, was das Spiel, den Artikel oder dessen Talk page angeht, mehr wissen willst.NightBeAsT 19:40, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
Könntest du dir mal die aktuelle Version des Artikels anschauen und entscheiden, ob man diese vielleicht nicht ... revertieren sollte? Ich wäre dir sehr verbunden.NightBeAsT 13:46, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

- Hallo Nightbeast, ich finde es ziemlich schwierig, als Artikeloutsider den Überblick über die Änderungen zu halten. Ich habe die Veränderungen vom 10. September mir angeschaut, und muss sagen, dass fast alles anscheinend umformuliert wurde, was ich unnötig finde und daher pauschal dem Revert zustimme. Ich hoffe, ich konnte dir bei der Meinungsbildung helfen :) --Abdull 15:00, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Request for edit summary
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.
Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 17:31, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
- Hi Oleg! No, this produces too much overhead to my work here on Wikipedia. Even if a nice, friendly edit summary has been written, you can never be sure if vandalism has happened or not as long as you haven't checked the diff. Bye, --Abdull 17:46, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Can you explain? Why don't you use Edit Summary? What is the language problem in the Joseph Pulitzer entry? Thanks. --K72ndst 11:42, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wrong coordinate system image
Hi Jacobolus, i think the image no the left is wrong. the y-axis is in front of the green z-coordinate line. It should be the other way around. As you have created the image, maybe you still have the original file and could easily create a new version? Thanks, --Abdull 08:02, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Elasmosaurus
Just to say thank you very much Abdull - I'm the one who made a mess of the Elasmosaur article. Despite attempting to revert it back to a prior version several times it never worked for me, so thanks very much for sorting out my mistake. User: SMegatron
[edit] Electric fluff balls
Hi. I'm not sure what they are called (I know them by their name in Spanish, clavel del aire), I believe they are some variety of carnation, but in short they are some sort of "sticking plant".
Here are some photos, hope it helps.
Best wishes,

- Hi, sorry to but in, i saw your question on Pilaf talk page the cientific name is Tillandsia if you want to see the varieties here in the photo its Tillandsia argentina here is more information hope that helps (Cizagna)--200.67.154.105 18:38, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- Hello Cizagna, thank you for your comment! I will look through the pages you mentioned. Bye, --Abdull 09:48, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- There's a lot of species in the genus of Tillandsia - by the way, Wikipedia has an article about Tillandsia too. --Abdull 11:32, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for fixing the coordinates!
Your help is greatly appreciated. -- Zanimum 20:19, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- Hi Zanimu, thanks for the commendation. There was a "double minus" in the coordinate ("minus west"). Maybe it wasn't even a mistake by your own - the coor template has changed recently, redirecting to another page, so maybe someone messed up the syntax while doing it.
