Les Shadoks

Les Shadoks is an animated television series created by French cartoonist Jacques Rouxel (26 February 1931 – 25 April 2004) which caused a sensation in France when it was first broadcast in 1968–1974.

Synopsis
The Shadoks were bird-like in appearance (in the tradition of cartoon birds they had beaks with teeth), were characterised by ruthlessness and stupidity and inhabited a two dimensional planet. This planet was of irregular shape, which was continuously changing - causing major earthquakes - hence their desire to find a new home world. There was a series of caves on the Shadok planet, known as the "Gulp" which was essentially a prison for undesirables.

One Shadok who stood apart from the others was the pirate - who was habitually drunk - and instead of the popular hobby of putting ships into bottles - he liked to put bottles into his ship.

Another set of creatures in the Shadok canon are the Gibis, who are the opposite to the Shadoks in that they are intelligent but vulnerable and also inhabit a two-dimensional planet. The Gibis were polite, always greeted each other formally, and kept their brains inside their bowler hats. The Gibi planet was a flat disc, finely balanced that if one Gibi went to one end of the planet; another would have to go to the far end to keep the planet balanced. Thus, the Gibis also wanted to find a new home world.

Ultimately, both saw the Earth as their ideal home - and both began to construct rockets to reach it.

The Shadoks were eventually able to leave their world thanks to the improved intelligence of one of their number; who happened to find a hat which one of the Gibis had lost.

Once both races reached Earth, much mayhem followed and they eventually realised it was not the ideal home they first thought.

Production
Rouxel claims that the term Shadok obtains some derivation from Captain Haddock of Hergé's The Adventures of Tintin and the Gibis (who wear Bowler hats, which unlike their heads, contain their brains) are essentially GBs (Great Britons).

Legacy
The Shadoks were a significant literary, cultural and philosophical phenomenon in France.

Even today, the French occasionally use satirical comparisons with the Shadoks for policies and attitudes that they consider absurd. The Shadoks were noted for mottos such as:
 * "Why do it the easy way when you can do it the hard way?"
 * "When one tries continuously, one ends up succeeding. Thus, the more one fails, the greater the chance that it will work."
 * "If there is no solution, it is because there is no problem."
 * "To reduce the numbers of unhappy people, always beat up the same individuals."
 * "Every advantage has its disadvantages and vice versa."
 * "If there is one chance out of a 1000 to succeed, rush failing the 999 first tries."
 * "And the shadoks pumped, pumped, pumped..."

About the Shadoks
The Shadoks have four monosyllabic words in their language: "Ga", "Bu", "Zo", "Meu" (French spelling). But their brain have only four cells, so if they had to learn a new word (e.g. "Ni"), they would only remember the last four ones heard.

The Shadoks were also noted for their seemingly useless and endless pumping — as the Shadok say: "Better to pump even if nothing happens than to risk something worse happening by not pumping" and "When the Shadoks pumped, nothing happened; and the more they pumped, the more nothing happened."

Broadcast
In 1973, The Shadoks appeared on Thames Television, London's ITV company (later replaced by Carlton Television), in the early evening. Kenneth Robinson provided the narration in English. His narration to The Shadoks is very fondly remembered by those who heard it.

On 18 September 2007, Les Shadoks was shown on Gulli's flagship retro block, "Télégrenadine".

Google Doodle
On April 29, 2016, four animated Google Doodles were shown on the Google.fr homepage for Les Shadok's 48th anniversary.

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.

 * AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
 * The template db-afc-move has been created - this template is similar to db-move when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Kismet (gameplay scripting)
This article needs to be merged to be here. It is not notable enough to have a separate article.--SkyWalker (talk) 15:00, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Out of date
With a quick look, the Basic premise section is out of date, taking into consideration the changes of Unreal Engine 3. The world doesn't start off as a full mass anymore, BSP geometry is largely discouraged since many years ago (while the section focuses a lot in describing exactly how one can do a lot of stuff with this kind of geometry) and generally needs improvemenet. Is there anyone willing to correct it or rewrite it? I could do it myself, but I'd prefer somebody who knows the engine more.  TEO 64 X  16:56, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

UnrealScript
Does this need to have a separate article?. Should we merge it?. --SkyWalker (talk) 07:18, 4 October 2008 (UTC) So I'd say: merge if nobody (wants to) expand it. (I don't know UnrealScript, so I can't volunteer.) --DanielPharos (talk) 15:09, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not convinced either way. On the one hand, the current article is rather short, and merging seems to be the best thing. On the other hand, similar articles (like QuakeC and ZZT-oop) have sections about the actual scripting language, with code example and details. If somebody does that to UnrealScript, it would merrit a separate article.

to me, a diagram is not a script
BTW, I wouldn't refer to a Kismet diagram as a script. The textual equivalent of the diagram -- THAT is a script. ToolmakerSteve (talk) 21:52, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Debbie Goad

Debra Susan "Debbie" Goad (February 13, 1954 – July 20, 2000) was an American journalist and assistant editor of the magazine Answer Me! Her husband, Jim Goad, was the magazine's primary writer and editor. She also contributed to the zine Temp Slave!

Goad grew up in a Jewish family in the Coney Island neighborhood of Brooklyn, meeting Jim Goad while he was living in New Jersey. In 1995, Goad and her husband Jim were charged with one felony count of promoting pornography because of offensive content in Answer Me! magazine, they faced a maximum sentence of five years in jail and a $10,000 fine. They were found not guilty.

Jim and Debbie Goad divorced in 1997, around the same time she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She died in July 2000, aged 46, from ovarian cancer in Multnomah County, Oregon. Her mother had reportedly also died from the same disease and Goad reportedly wished to be cremated, but her brother, Dr. Mitchell Rosalie, a physician from New York City, was reportedly unable to locate her will and she was interred next to their mother's grave.

Talk:Nuon (DVD technology)

What NUON stands for.
It's pretty annoying how people keep removing the part where I posted that NUON stands for Nobody Understands Our Name. Dude, I used to read Next Gen when it was a mag worth reading. They said it THEMSELVES in an interview. I do not still have the issue, sorry. Though.... There's a slim chance it was also in Ultra Game Players. Those were the best mags around at the time. My point is that I ain't no stupid vandal and I will KEEP reinforcing the acronym. I WISH I had a citation but I no longer have the magazine. I checked!Utils

 * Unfortunately, that's not how Wikipedia works. Vague rememberences of something you might have read in a magazine a long time ago, is just not a reference.  Claiming somthing that's not supported by any VM Labs press release, their own website (which is still archived), faq, fansite, or by people who actually worked at the company, makes it grounds for removal.  Stating you'll keep adding it in, regardless of Wikipedia policy, is also grounds for disruptive editing and temporary blocking of your IP.  If you can find a reference that supports it, as Wikipedia requires, then you're more than welcome to add that (along with the reference citation) back in.  --Marty Goldberg 12:39, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Okay. But don't fucking call it vandelism. Utils 23:05, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

 * And also how Wikipedia works - watch your language and the attitude. --Marty Goldberg 05:24, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

 * NUON never really meant Nobody Understands Our Name, though some of the staff would joke that's what it meant, another one was Never Underestimate Our Nuon. I worked on Freefall 3050 AD and talked to some of the guys there a bit and spent a few weeks in the VM Labs office, I didn't ask everyone, but those that I did, didn't know where the name came from and attributed it to some marketing people thinking up a scientific sounding name.

Fair use rationale for Image:NUON logo.gif
Image:NUON logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.BetacommandBot 04:45, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Nuon batteries

Topic 1: NUON changes discussion
I will be working on numerous changes to this article. I will probably be done with it by tomorrow, but with that being said, please discuss anything you think should stay here. For now, I have only replaced and expanded the article, but I will be replacing a lot of what's on this page tomorrow. I just though I would open a discussion so I can get feedback from other people who may have some knowledge or good references for this console. AustralianPope (talk) 00:29, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Topic 2: section recommendations
What section should I add to make sure this article is complete? I would like to hear any requests. I know I need a reception section and I am working on that now. I am going to rewrite the smaller sections I have not touched yet. I suppose I would need a discontinuation sections. Anything I am missing? AustralianPope (talk) 00:43, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * The only similar article I can think of would be the Virtual Boy by Nintendo, which you may want to base some of the article off of. I'd recommend combining "Development History" and "Showcase and Launch" into a single History section. Try to avoid too many subheadings as well. If you can combine "Development History", "Branding Origin", "Showcase and Launch", and "Early Impressions" into a few paragraphs of just a "History" section with no subsections that'd be preferable. Same with the multiple games and three hardware sections: "Competitive Features", "Hardware models", and "Peripherals and accessories" could all be in a single "Hardware" heading. Released, unreleased, and homebrew games could all go under the same "Games" heading.
 * Also, while this would take longer than my previous request, the lists of games, peripherals, etc. may be better represented using "prose", aka paragraphs rather than the bulleted lists they current use.
 * Feel free to take as much time as you need and ask any questions you may have on my Talk page. Thanks for your contributions, I wouldn't have known about the Nuon had I not stumbled upon this article :D --Nicereddy (talk) 02:33, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

You've done a good job with your edits here. I am actually going to use more sources and expand some of the sections you are talking about. I may fuse a couple of them though, I just have been waiting until I have the rest of the sources. Nuon is a very good device, but sadly, finding references for it takes some very odd wording, otherwise I get tons of other results not even related to what I am searching for.AustralianPope (talk) 19:45, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Re combining sections, how's this? The spread-outness was bugging me. —174.141.182.82 (talk) 14:47, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

Ars Technica: NUON OEM specifications
I went on the Ars Technica post referenced on this article several times, which directly contains a link in its body to a document titled "NUON Multi-Media Architecture, Aries 3 Specifications, Full OEM Version", by VM Labs. I assume that it is not possible to refer to that document based on copyright grounds, but would referring to the Ars Technica article instead be good enough?

I removed the outright untrue parts of the CPU specs on the article, but want to add to it, including details based on that specification. Would doing so be tolerated? AlphaLONE (talk) 14:01, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

Punk shirts
