Talk:The Scientist (song)

Second or seventh single
Surely this was their seventh single - not second. See Coldplay discography. Or am I missing something? Peanut4 (talk) 00:07, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * You are correct, it is the seventh. I think whoever wrote it was probably thinking of the second from the album. --JD554 (talk) 07:32, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

"Back to the star"
I was reading the article just now, and noticed in the Reception section a quote from a Rolling Stone editor that may leave a misleading impression. The reviewer says that the line is: "Let's go back to the star". I know this is kind of WP:OR; if you listen to the song it's not quite clear, but it sounds more like "start" on every occasion. Also, every major lyric website (yes I know, lyric sites are oftentimes wikis) reports it as "start" for every pre-chorus. I don't own the album, so I don't know what the lyric liner says. This may sound weak, but for the sake of the encyclopedia, I think this part of the quote needs to somehow be removed, because it may not be true. Comments?  Jamie ☆ S93  18:15, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
 * AFAIK, none of the Coldplay albums include lyrics, but the official website says 'start'. -- I need a name (talk) 20:37, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Good finding! Didn't know they had all that info on the website. I've excluding the lyric from the quote with a "...", and tried to keep it as original as possible by only changing the word "with". Best,  Jamie ☆ S93  21:00, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

This article was put under the category "Songs About Suicide". That doesn't seem to be the correct category at all. Could someone make any needed corrections on this page and the category page? 170.211.148.46 (talk) 15:39, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Video Filming Location
I don't believe he goes back to the suburbs. Hopefully all y'all won't be upset I put the location as Kentish Town. A look in google shows Hampstead Heath near there - across the tracks. London has tracks like that all through it, but at some level it does match the walk from Kentish town in Camden in London to Hampstead Heath, which certainly has wooded areas and a hill. (All though I've been most recently in 1998 it has been 59 years since I spent considerable time on the heath.) I don't consider this research - one can see it in the video - it is hardly research. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.191.81.188 (talk) 10:47, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

The Wyoming Vehicle License Plate at 3:04 is 4-397 BG. The 4- means it was issued in Sweetwater, Wyoming. The 397 bomb group was the dam busters. Significant? Can we ask Chris Martin?

Other Versions
The version of the song performed by Katelyn Epperly on the 9th Season of American Idol is in fact an "Other Version" of the song. American Idol is a noted musical TV program that is highly viewed. The episode was viewed by more than 23 Million people. Three youtube videos combined have another 165,000 views with much commentary on the version performed by Katelyn Epperly. Katelyn is a musician and not a one off talent show participant. The interweb contains many articles about the performance. To remove the edit as being "not notable" is an opinion of the editor. The factual evidence reveals it is a different version of the song, as well as being notable as described above. The interweb contains many articles about the performance. Further, in this same section there is a cite to a Voice contestant performing the song.

In addition, while a youtube video may not be an appropriate cite in most instances, this youtube videos documents that the performance happened on American Idol, although there are other cites including the full article of American Idol Season 9 on Wikipedia.

Further, Calidum says "not important." Many music listeners enjoy hearing different or alternative versions of popular songs. Wikipedia is a site to find out about those other versions. I went and listed to both the Willie Nelson Version of the song and the Voice contestant's version of the song after coming to this page. Katelyn Epperly's version of the song is readily available on the web as described above and providing this version to music enthusiasts is important.

Let's include the below in the article under "Other Versions"

Thanks.70.91.216.5 (talk) 01:11, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

In 2010, American Idol contestant Katelyn Epperly performed the song on the 9th season of American Idol. The episode of American Idol, March 3, 2010, that Katelyn performed the song on was viewed by approximately 23 Million people according to Nielsen Ratings.

 * Should probably delete The Voice item as well, since it was only an audition. Softlavender (talk) 03:06, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

I think it should be included as it appears to be a known rendition of the song. Also, I have not seen a valid reason why it should not be included. But if it is deleted, then the Voice one should be deleted as well. Glee should probably be deleted as well as it is an episode of a TV show just like American Idol, I'll assume that episode of Glee did not have as many viewers as AI.2601:182:C001:AAD1:ACF9:D78E:C819:213C (talk) 03:33, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Gee, 2601:182:C001:AAD1:ACF9:D78E:C819:213C, how did you just happen to come upon this obscure conversation on a very obscure Wikipedia talk page, having never having made a single edit to Wikipedia, mere minutes after this conversation started? Forgive us if we suspect you are a sockpuppet of the other IP, and discount your ill-considered (having never before even ventured upon Wikipedia) opinion. And you are even spouting the same nonsensical rhetoric about number of viewers. Softlavender (talk) 03:49, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Gee, Softlavender, I never purported to be a different user. I'm just on a different computer. You should ask yourself the same question, as you are suddenly on this obscure conversation. You weren't conversing with martin all day on another page were you? No, that couldn't of happened, right. I'm sure you weren't asked to come to this conversation and revert the page. Forgive me if I suspect that you are ganging up. Additionally, none of you has made a valid reason why the addition should not be included. Most of all, you have added nothing. So I'm the only one that has contributed anything of substance to the talk page, where you have just made reversions.2601:182:C001:AAD1:ACF9:D78E:C819:213C (talk) 03:58, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

This shows that you have not done any research on the matter, why are you making revisions without doing your homework? I would consider that poor editing. It smacks of revenge editing to support your friend martin, who also did no research before making an edit that he assumed was not important. If the article is going to include other versions of the song, it should include all that are reasonably known. I would wager that the American Idol and Voice performances have probably been heard just as much as the other versions mentioned in the article, and definitely more than the Glee version. If you want to remove the American Idol version, then I think you should remove the entire category of "other versions," which I am amenable to doing. Otherwise provide some reasoning to counter my points here as to why it should not be included.2601:182:C001:AAD1:ACF9:D78E:C819:213C (talk) 04:47, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't think TV talent contest performances are notable. Not even those by guest artists. Chris Martin included. Martinevans123 (talk) 07:40, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Well, that is a very disappointing argument. I added the entry after coming to the page and seeing the Other Versions heading and it reminded me of the version performed by Katelyn Epperly on American Idol, because - well- it was notable. My addition was consistent with the other entries under the heading of Other Versions, it adds to the article as I 've discussed above, it does not destroy the integrity of the article, and I added 4 references although there are more that could be added. You have a strong feeling that the entry should be excluded, I'm really not sure why as you have not elaborated on your opinion. I have my guesses as to why you deleted my entry without any thought or research, but I don't wish to denigrate you. I'm sure you've made valuable contributions and protected against vandalism in the past. I offer the following: If you insist my entry not be included because it is not notable, I would ask that the Voice contestant's version and the Glee version also be removed. I believe this would be consistent at least. Do you agree?70.91.216.5 (talk) 13:48, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

 * I’m very pleased that you “don’t wish to denigrate me”. But then I’m not quite sure why you suggest that I reverted your entry “without any thought or research”. I see that Katelyn Epperly is not notable enough to have her own article and that her name redirects to American Idol (season 9). So I’d imagine that’s the article where any details about "her" choices of song for the show might be added. I would have no objection to the removal of the performances in Glee and The Voice. Perhaps if Ms Epperly eventually secured a recording contract and recorded the song on an album which was itself praised, or at least discussed, by multiple WP:RS sources, maybe then it could be added to this article. If there was consensus to do so. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:17, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

That's better, at least now you've put some thought into the issue. You still haven't responded to any of my points as to why it is notable. While Katelyn may not have her own Wikipedia page, the performance itself has been discussed and "her choices of song for the show" are contained in multiple sources. Example In this digital age of music, Katelyn did record and publish the song on iTunes. It was released on June 25, 2012, has a high popularity rating, and reviews by users. In the list of Other Versions, the only versions appearing on an album are from Willie Nelson and Aimee Mann, so we should knock out all other versions as well, no?70.91.216.5 (talk) 16:17, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Talk:K (programming language)

Untitled
Is http://www.schneier.com/code/sol.k in this "K programming language"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.65.110.114 (talk) 05:14, 10 February 2005 (UTC)

yes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.56.55.49 (talk) 16:59, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

NPOV
I'm missing NPOV here. Seems like this entry was written by the language designer, or (more likely) somebody who's using the language and a bit too fond of it.

Nothing wrong with that in itself, but not very informative - if somebody says "combines the best of foo, bar, and baz", I still don't know *which* features of foo, bar, and baz went into the language.

The section on the Hello World program is entirely misguided. Nobody is interested in how easy it is to write a Hello World program (except those who're learning the language, and the interest persists only until the program runs). (Sorry for ranting, but the section really deserves it. IMHO.)

Joachim Durchholz — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.175.172.16 (talk) 06:59, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

 * I like the Hello World program because it can give you an immediate sense of the language. A comparison of the K example with a comparable example from Java is representative of the differences between the two language in general. However I certainly agree that you need additional examples. I've added a word sort and prime number examples since they were the two examples used in the APL section. If you want a different example or additional ones say something and I should be able to help.

Abcarter 13:37, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

 * completely agree! Claims like "speed" and "expressive syntax" should be backed with facts and definitions. Fast compared to what? What does expressive mean? A language is expressive to the extent that it is able to expresses the solution using abstractions from the problem domain. K expressions look like noise on an excessively long and capacitive RS-232 connection. It's possible that they are expressive if the surface syntax is transliterated into a notation which is readable. In 2011, it is not important to be able to cram an entire application onto a single 80 column punched card. That is not what "expressive" ought to mean, in any case. 24.85.131.247 (talk) 16:50, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Out of date?
I followed the kuro5hin discussion, and looked at the Kx Systems website, but failed to find any information about how to get hold of K.

Along the way I found K Links put up by the other of the kuro5hin article, and "No Stinking Loops", a collection of links for various APL-derived languages; interpreting the latter my best guess is that versions 2 and 3 of K are obsolete and version 4 is now called "Q".

The link to "K4/Q" throws you into a directory which appears to contain libraries for the Q runtime, but there isn't much in the way of documentation there to tell you what to do with them.

Maybe this will help someone work out how to improve the current article ... Hv 02:24, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Free?
Anyone found any evidence that K is free for free software? I've gotten nothing but rude responses from their sales people.. note I said sales. :) 216.199.93.178 20:59, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

 * It used to be the case that you could download a demo version of K from the Kx website. However, in 2003 Kx systems released Q which merges the features of K and Ksql and is meant to be the successor to both. At some point they deleted the K download since it is no longer a featured language; however they did not add a Q download. Kx still offers trial versions of Q, but it is on a by request basis. Abcarter 15:05, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

You can download an older version of K for linux from http://cs.nyu.edu/cs/faculty/shasha/papers/klinux. Other version are referenced in http://www.cs.nyu.edu/shasha/papers/cousins.html. I hope Kx Systems would consider once again providing official access, but without any support, to the last version of K prior to Q as this is an excellent language. Bakul Shah 18:54, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

 * A correction and a comment. I had thought that Q was the successor to both ksql and k. It is the successor to ksql and it does merge the features of ksql and k, however it is still written entirely in k, though a newer version. It would be nice for Kx to offer older versions of k without support, but it's not clear that it is in their interest to do so. Abcarter 00:19, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Proposed merge with KDB
Unless there are objections I will begin the process of merging the entry on KDB (database) with K (programming language). This is based on discussions on the KDB entry. This is based on the close linkage between the language and the database: Abcarter 23:12, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) Both KDB and KDB+ are developed in K
 * 2) Ksql and Q, the query languages for KDB and KDB+, respectively, are written in K.
 * 3) With a few minor exceptions in academia no, the K language is always used in conjunction with KDB.

Merged the KDB (database) and did a very rough clean up. I deleted anything that was more marketing than factual. I'm embarrassed to say that there is really very little left as a result. I will expand on this in the next couple of weeks. Abcarter 01:48, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Comments on changes
I'll be making numerous changes to the K entry in the next few weeks and using this section for comments when necessary. Abcarter 11:59, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Made some corrections to the infobox. Abcarter 11:59, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) The Kx site lists 1993 as the year when k was first developed.
 * 2) KDB+ is not an implementation of k but an application built on top of it.
 * 3) k is written in c but its design is not influenced by c in any obvious way.
 * 4) Apparently Scheme was the specific dialect of Lisp that influenced Arthur Whitney in the design of k

65.254.63.193
Your remarks on performance characteristics is great stuff. I'm not too sure if I follow it completely, any change of providing a source that one could read for more detail? Also, do you have any objective sources giving performance benchmarks or numbers? Abcarter 00:42, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello World Program
After thinking about it I've reverting the deletion concerning the Hello World program. The wikipedia definition of such programs is:
 * A "hello world" program is a software program that prints out "Hello world!" on a display device.

Interpreted languages such as k can do this in a trivial way. Look at the list of Hello World programs and you'll see a number of similar languages with the same trivial example. While the example is trivial the point being made is not, the interpreted nature of k is a distinctive feature of the language and one of the first things you should know about it. Abcarter Talk 14:53, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * This is nothing to do with the interpreted nature of the language; it would be trivial to design a language that had an identical "Hello World" program but compiled down to machine code. It is, however, illustrative of K's concise syntax. 81.86.133.45 18:47, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * In K every statement is evaluated and the results immediately displayed. Literal values, like strings, evaluate to themselves. Consequently, you can argue that a Hello world program can just be the string, "Hello world!". While this feature of K facilitates an expressive and concise syntax, but it really isn't illustrative of it. A B Carter (talk) 04:16, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Performance Characteristics
I'm not sure if I understand some of this paragraph:

>> The performance of modern CPUs is improving at a much faster rate than their memory subsystems.

Check. Memory is comparatively slow.

>> The small size of the interpreter and compact syntax of the language makes it possible for K applications to fit entirely within the level 1 cache of the processor.

Check. Smaller is better, but it would be nice to know exactly what a level 1 cache, and exactly what processor.
 * 1) Leveal 1 cache is the smallest memory cache in modern processors and therefore the fastest. The point is that the K executable is so small that it can stay resident in the L1 cache.

>> Vector processing makes efficient use of the cache row fetching mechanism and posted writes without introducing bubbles into the pipeline by creating a dependency between consecutive instructions.

Suppose I have an array expression like D = A + 3*(B+C) and I apply the classic do loop treatment of this statement, i.e. D[i] = A[i] + 3*(B[i]+C[i]), factors which would degrade the speed as array length increases would be the locality of access and cache utilsation (i.e. individual vectors are farther than the cache apart).

But K is an interpreter and is more likely to do something like D = 3*(B+C) then D = A + D, assuming A does not promote the type of D. But even if D, B, and C fit in the cache window for part 1 and A and D fit in part 2, would this really present such a speedup opportunity?

 * 1) Yeah, can't help you here. Hell, I don't even know what a pipeline "bubble" is.

This pipeline bubble thing is explained nicely in at least two places - have a look at Jim Blinn's book, Notation, Notation, Notation, Chapter 7, pp. 107-121. I often see it in Borders. Although the article is nearly 10 years old and he's writing about MMX, I imagine this problem is not unique to Intel hardware. Also, Intel has some nice code tuning tools and documentation on their web site. I imagine the average Kdb user does not use this hardware.Cowznofski 21:52, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

>> These characteristics, combined with a highly optimized implementation, tend to make interpreted K programs significantly faster than hand-coded C/C++.

I would be more inclined to belived that well-coded K programs would tend to run significantly faster than their poorly-coded C/C++ counterparts.
 * 1) Even though I agree with the sentiment of this statement, it has all sorts of problems. The defensible claim is that the first version of a C program will often run slower that the first version of a K program that performs the same task. The C program isn't necessarily poorly-coded, just not optimized. While I believe this to be true, there is no cited source to back this up and obviously has NPOV issues.

I've never been particularly happy with this section. It was entered anonymously as a single edit. I asked for a citation and additional information (see above), but there was never a response. Still it's an valid topic. K is incredibly fast and it would be nice to have a clear and extended explanation for this. A B Carter (talk) 16:27, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

 * So for instance, if I use longer variable and function names in my C program, I can expect to exceed the L1 cache and get slower behavior? What insipid crock!!!24.85.131.247 (talk) 17:18, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

This desperately needs to be forked into "k3" (historical interest only) and "k4" (actually useful) articles, especially since a personal version of q is now available free (as in beer) i'm capable of porting all the k3 code here to k4, it's not that hard and i'm quite familiar with both, but i'm not sure what the "wiki way" is to do a major change like this--do i just change this into the k4 article and create a k3 stub saying "obsolete functional language from Kx"? Adavies42 (talk) 18:35, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

I've moved this comment to a separate section so that the discussion can focus on the more general issue of the boundaries of the present article.

Two quick comments. First, K version 4 is not significantly different from K version 3 in terms general syntax and semantics. I'm not too sure there is anything in the present article that needs to be changed in this regard. Second, I assume you are actually talking about q, a new language that is written in the k language. Take a look at the q.k script and you'll see how q is defined in terms of the underlying k language. There is already a short article on Q and presumably your efforts should be devoted to that article. A B Carter (talk) 16:23, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

um, yes and no. there are big chunks of k3 that were dropped completely (all the gui stuff), chunks that were changed drastically (i/o), and the merger with the database layer. (kdb/ksql was a completely separate software package, a set of k3 scripts that implemented the db; kdb+ is built into the q interpreter and the q.k language implementation.) second, k4 is still of some interest; if nothing else, some k4 knowledge is generally picked up by q programmers, and it's helpful when debugging q, as all the error messages are in k. but yes, you're right that the main effort should be devoted to the q article. Adavies42 (talk) 03:45, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Untitled
k vs. kdb

this article is more a product placement of kx/kdb+ than explanation of k. The reference to the free k-language implementation is missing (https://github.com/kevinlawler/kona/wiki/Group) and it is focusing to much on kdb+ the database which is finally based on q which is based on k. So there is only a second level link to k. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.53.59.35 (talk) 09:27, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Code samples do not appear to work
I attempted to run the code samples provided on this page using the KDB, which includes a k4 interpreter, and of all the samples only "x@>#:'x" actually ran without errors. For example:

q)k)2!!7!4

'type — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.100.48.30 (talk) 20:31, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

q syntax highlighting lost
Since the switch from Geshi to Pygments for syntax highlighting (T85794), support for 'q' was unfortunately dropped, as can be seen with the plain text formatting on this page. Are there other pages using this syntax? If we want 'q' syntax highlight support again, it will need to be added to Pygments. However, Pygments does include support for 'apl', which may be a suitable fallback, and it can be very easily added like this patch. John Vandenberg (chat) 03:44, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Acatenango

"Hiking the Volcano"
The "Hiking the Volcano" section of the article reads as followed:

''For visitors to Antigua in Guatemala; Acatenango Volcano and the neighbouring Volcan de Fuego (Fire Volcano) can be an irresistible adventure. While it would be unsafe and irresponsible to hike the active Volcan de Fuego, it is possible to hike to the summit of Acatenango and watch Fuego erupt from a safe distance. It is a tough hike up steep slopes with loose volcanic rocks and the altitude can be a challenge for some. There are different options, 1 day or 2 days tours available from Antigua. To get the most from the hike, it is best to spend the night on the volcano, so that it is possible to see Fuego erupt at night, when it is most impressive. Make sure you research the tour company you are doing your trek with well – six tourists died of exposure on Acatenango in January 2017''

It just seems to me to be like it is giving advice and does not appear to do so in the unbiased fashion typical of Wikipedia. If you disagree, it is just what I initially thought.

Maybe someone else could have a look at it and fix it up?

"Unbiased fashion typical of Wikipedia"
My friend, you've got to be kidding. Wikipedia is a hotbed of page nazis and government edits have been documented. Fact check this! As for this article, is typical of Wikipedia.

Good Article review needed
This article received its Good Article rating on 23 October 2005 from an editor who hearkened back to a kinder, gentler era when it was not outside of norms to just simply plonk down a Good Article tag for no other reason than WP:ILIKEIT. Alas, the standards for retaining this pretty green trinket have tightened over time; in the present regime, someone unassociated with writing this article (a reviewer) should examine the article with respect to the good article criteria and, on the various standards cited, expresses up, down, or neutral sentiments, plus an aggregate sentiment, upon which retaining the pretty little trinket relies.

By posting this remark here, I'm not suggesting that the article has gone bad or presently fails the criteria, but I am noting the absence of a review that is a hallmark of the present process, and, in the fullness of time, a review should be performed on this article. With the absence of a review, this article is a delisting candidate. Note that, for an editor to delist this article, the due-diligence of a good article review is required. Otherwise, how might a delisting editor justify his or her delisting, or offer cogent reasons why the Good Article mark should remain? In either case, anything short of a fair review is unfair to editors who contribute to this article regularly and in good faith. Drop any questions about this on my talk page. Take care — Gosgood 22:37, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

The "Recent eruptions" section currently contains very little about recent eruptions. For a while it contained simply "It is currently erupting" with no punctuation and no explanation.

Society for Classical Studies

The Society for Classical Studies (SCS), formerly known as the American Philological Association (APA), is a non-profit North American scholarly organization devoted to all aspects of Greek and Roman civilization founded in 1869. It is the preeminent association in the field and publishes a journal, Transactions of the American Philological Association (TAPA). The SCS is currently based at New York University.

History
The APA was inaugurated by William D. Whitney, of Yale, at Poughkeepsie, New York, in 1869 as an outgrowth of the Classical Section of the Oriental Society. Of the 151 inaugural members, just 8 were women, including Alice Robinson Boise Wood, the first woman to study (informally) at the University of Michigan and to graduate with a B.A. from the Old University of Chicago. Originally its members studied a great variety of texts and languages, but as disciplines such as linguistics and modern languages have created their own societies, the APA came to be concerned with classical antiquity and fields closely related to the study of antiquity, while the definition of "philology" broadened to include many approaches to understanding the ancient world. In 2013, the American Philological Association elected to change its name to the Society for Classical Studies.

Convention
The Society holds its annual convention in January, meeting jointly with the Archaeological Institute of America. About 400 scholarly papers are delivered at the Society's meeting, which is also the site for interviewing for college and university positions and for the meetings of the many committees and affiliated groups. It is also the occasion for the presentation of Society awards for teaching at both pre-collegiate and collegiate level, for projects that bring classics to a wider public (outreach), and of the Goodwin Award of Merit, which recognizes a recently published book.

At every meeting, an Outreach Division conducts two events that are open to the general public. One is a special panel that is of interest to non-specialists. Topics have included the movie Troy, Classics and Contemporary Fiction and the HBO series Rome and Classics and Comics. The second is the staged reading of a classical or classically themed play, by the Committee on Ancient and Modern Performance. The productions have been: The Invention of Love (Tom Stoppard, directed by Mary-Kay Gamel, produced by Judith Hallett), The Heavensgate Deposition (based on Apocolocyntosis by Seneca the Younger, adapted by Douglass Parker, directed by Amy R. Cohen, produced by Thomas Jenkins), The Golden Age (by Thomas Heywood, directed by C. W. Marshall), Iran Man (based on Persa by Plautus, directed by Mary-Kay Gamel), Thespis (by W. S. Gilbert and A. S. Sullivan, with new music by Alan Riley Jones, directed by John Starks, produced by John Given), The Birds (by Aristophanes, directed by Thomas Talboy), Cyclops (by Euripides, directed by Laura Lippman and Mike Lippman), Thersites (perhaps by Nicholas Udall, directed by C. W. Marshall), Thesmophoriazusae (by Aristophanes, directed by Bella Vivante), The Jurymen (by Katherine Janson, directed by Amy R. Cohen) and Alcestis (by Euripides, translated by Mary-Kay Gamel, directed by Gamel and Mark Damen).

Activities
Through its divisions of Research, Education, Publications, Professional Matters, and Program, the Society conducts a variety of activities to support and disseminate knowledge of the ancient Greek and Roman worlds. For example, it operates a Placement Service, gathers statistical information about the demographics of classicists, hears complaints of violations of professional ethics, provides advice and funding for major research projects (such as the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World), and publishes monographs, textbooks and software. The Outreach Division produces a newsletter, Amphora, for non-specialists, and the electronic newsletter The Dionysiac, which gives information about performances of classical plays and other events related to ancient performance.

Scholars
Many notable scholars have served as executives of the APA and SCS, including Basil Lanneau Gildersleeve, William Watson Goodwin, Herbert Weir Smyth, Paul Shorey, Lily Ross Taylor, Berthold Ullman,  Thomas Robert Shannon Broughton, Gerald Else, Helen F. North, Bernard Knox, Charles Segal, Emily Vermeule, and Shelley Haley.

Warzone 2100

Warzone 2100 is an open-source real-time strategy and real-time tactics hybrid computer game, originally developed by Pumpkin Studios and published by Eidos Interactive. It was originally released in 1999 for Microsoft Windows and PlayStation, and is now also available for macOS, FreeBSD, AmigaOS 4, AROS, MorphOS, Linux, NetBSD and OpenBSD.

While was developed and released as a proprietary commercial video game, on December 6, 2004, the source code and most of its data was released under the GNU GPL-2.0-or-later; the rest of the data followed on June 10, 2008.

Setting
In the late 21st century, the world's civilizations are wiped out by a series of nuclear strikes, seemingly caused by a massive malfunction of the new NASDA (North American Strategic Defense Agency) strategic defense system. While most of the survivors form scavenger bands to survive, the player is a member of a group named "The Project", that is more organised and seeks to rebuild civilization using pre-war technology.

Plot
The game begins with The Project sending three teams (Alpha, Beta, and Gamma) to gather technology that would help with reconstruction; the player assumes command of Team Alpha in Arizona. While gathering pre-war "artifacts", the Project fends off attacks from an organization called the New Paradigm, another major survivalist organisation, which is more advanced than the player's forces. Later however, it is discovered that a self-aware computer virus named 'Nexus' is actually controlling the New Paradigm.

After the player defeats the New Paradigm, they are assigned to Team Beta, which is based in Chicago and under attack by a faction called 'The Collective'. Again, the player starts out less advanced than 'The Collective' and it is discovered that Nexus is controlling this faction too. At the end of the campaign, Nexus launches nuclear missiles at Alpha and Beta bases, prompting the player to abandon the facility and move to the Gamma base.

Upon arriving at Gamma base, the player is immediately ambushed by the Gamma forces, which have already been taken over by Nexus. After the player survives the ambush and develops countermeasures to 'Nexus' infection, Nexus takes control of the remaining NASDA satellites and attempts to destroy the player. However, before he can succeed, the Project captures a NASDA missile site, and shoots down the orbiting laser weapons. It is learned that the scientist Dr. Reed, who was bankrupted by the US military, transformed himself into the Nexus virus and was responsible for the nuclear holocaust by infiltrating the 'NASDA' systems. At this point, the survivors of the Alpha and Beta bases arrive, and the three Project teams launch a full-scale assault on Nexus. The Project destroys Nexus and can begin rebuilding civilization.

Gameplay

The game is fully 3D, based on the iViS 3D graphics engine developed by Sam Kerbeck of Eidos Interactive. The game world is mapped by a grid; vehicles tilt to meet hilly terrain, and projectiles can be realistically blocked by steep mountains or buildings. The camera is free-moving and can zoom in and out, rotate, and pan up or down while navigating the battlefield.

In the game, units of different factions are painted different colors. The New Paradigm, the Collective, and Nexus are the enemies of the Project in the campaign, and they can be seen attacking Project forces as well as Scavengers, survivors of the nuclear fallout.

Units can all be customized according to: chassis (which, for example, takes weight and power into account); drive system (such as wheels or tracks); and mounted object (such as a weapon, or one of various support tools). Units can earn experience. Earning experience causes units to level up from ranks such as Rookie to Trained and Professional.

places an emphasis on sensors and radar to detect units and to coordinate ground attacks. Counter-battery sensors detect enemy artillery by sensing their projectiles and firing arcs and pinpointing their location to coordinate artillery strikes against enemy artillery. VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) sensors work like basic sensors, only they coordinate VTOL airstrikes. VTOL counter-battery sensors coordinate VTOLs to find and destroy enemy artillery batteries.

There is an emphasis on artillery: although many direct- and close-combat weapons and anti-air weapons can be researched and deployed, artillery is a staple of assault on enemy bases and outposts. While the technology tree is clearly defined and consistent, it never appears in-game and, therefore, the player can be left guessing as to what technology is next in the tree. Technology can be acquired by gathering artifacts left behind by certain destroyed enemy structures or units. Researching is composed of largely small and incremental advancements over existing weapons, armor, and chassis types.

Some levels require the player to achieve the objective within a time limit whilst some without these limits can be used to gather "power". In Away missions, the player must select a limited group of units to transport to a territory completely removed from the original base.

All of the terrain throughout the campaign is essentially composed of three areas, with different sectors for Away missions and other such levels; upon progression, previous maps simply expand and the player's original bases from past levels are maintained. Also, its resource system is quite different from mainstream RTS games; Oil Derricks are established over specific, scarce locations which constantly provide a slow, fixed rate of income. Combined with a mission time limit, this resource method makes it generally infeasible for players to utilize certain traditional RTS tactics such as "turtling" (fortifying one or more bases against enemy attack, while stockpiling resources with which to produce a massive army).

However, there are certain missions throughout the game that do not have a time limit, and in these missions it is possible to use more traditional RTS tactics to prepare for subsequent timed missions.

History
was originally developed by Pumpkin Studios and published by Eidos Interactive. In 1999 it was originally released for Microsoft Windows and PlayStation. After having released patch 1.10 final in November 1999, Pumpkin Studios ended their support for Warzone 2100 at January 5, 2000. On March 15, 2000, Pumpkin Studios was closed down by Eidos Interactive. Pumpkin Studios later reformed as Pivotal Games.

End of support and fan patch
After the official support ended with the dissolution of Pumpkin Studios, a third-party group of game enthusiasts, N.E.W.S.T., tried to continue the support in October 1999. Starting in November 2000, the group released unofficial patches which fixed many of the game's remaining problems. In February 2003 Pumpkin-2, the renamed N.E.W.S.T. group, sent a petition to copyright holder Eidos Interactive, asking for permission to get and use the source code and art content.

Open sourcing
On December 6, 2004 Warzone's source code was uploaded to Radiosity's FTP server by Alex McLean of Pivotal Games. Source code and artwork (beside the movies) of Warzone were placed under the GPL-2.0-or-later license, making the game free and open-source. On June 10, 2008 the license of the game was clarified; distribution of movies and soundtrack was now permitted, too.

Community driven development
Following the release, the game's community started a revival project, based on the available source code and assets: originally called "Warzone Re-Development Project", it was later renamed to the "Warzone 2100 Resurrection Project", and then to the "Warzone 2100 Project". On June 11, 2005, version 0.1 of the "Warzone 2100 Project" was released, with all proprietary technology replaced by free and open-source alternatives. As of 2021 the community development continues, and has been officially released on the Microsoft Store, Snap Store, itch.io, and others.

On February 18, 2020 an unofficial version of Warzone 2100 was released on the Steam gaming platform. Underdone Gaming has published only a Windows version of the game, with questions about other platforms left unanswered. The reception of the community to this release is generally negative and it is unlikely that community developers will aid technical support for the Steam version.

Reception
The game's new additions to the real-time strategy genre were positively noted, such as its create-a-unit feature, persistent world,  3D environments with control over a zoomable and rotatable floating camera,   variety of terrain and environments, animated units, diverse colors, night-and-day mechanic, and numerous features.

GameSpot gave the PlayStation version a 6.5, and the PC version a 7.6. GameSpot praised the game for its high level of customizability and concluded, " highly navigable 3D engine, unique campaign structure, and multiplayer gameplay should please most real-time strategy fans."

IGN shared similar sentiments, rating the PC version 8.0, and the PlayStation version 7.5. IGN praised the PlayStation version for being one of the few RTS games on the system. IGN praised this aspect by saying "In the end the weird truth is that is one of the best RTS on the system." In their PC review, the author expressed disappointment with the lack of innovation, but praised it nonetheless with the following comment, "Mostly it boils down to taking great ideas found in other RTS titles and combining them into one. Pumpkin Studios did a fantastic job with that task and this one is certainly worth playing all the way through."

GameRevolution noted problems in the presentation, such as the "uninspiring" audio and "fuzzy graphics," and the lack of being able to save during gameplay. The Playstation port was criticized for keeping the interface of the PC version, which was unsuitable for the Playstation controller.

Talk:Amar Sonar Bangla

Untitled
I have changed the Quality classification of this Article from STUB to B. - Arman Aziz 06:18, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Move
The title of the article should have been "Amar Shonar Bangla". The actual Bangla pronounciation is "Shona", not "Sona". Therefore the title "Amar Shonar Bangla" was more appropriate, and "Amar Sonar Bangla" should redirect to "Amar Shonar Bangla" instead of the current status quo. --Ragib 05:27, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * The Constitution of the People's Republic of Bangladesh (http://www1.umn.edu/humanrts/research/bangladesh-constitution.pdf) calls the song "Amar Sonar Bangla". Should we question our Constitution? Ratibgreat (talk) 10:17, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

This is definitely the most gorgeous national anthem I've ever heard. Thanks for the MIDI, it led me to seek out a symphonic recording. Just an aside. Tobiasaf 07:12, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Precious
I was wondering abt the statement that "Shonar" is suppossed to mean "precious". I personally think that the word is literal as well, deriving from Shonar Dhan (golden rice). This is not something I feel too strongly about, but the point is, why second guess Rabindranath?--ppm 03:15, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Please remove the subject about "bongobhongo".
Please remove the lines about "Bongobhongo".

It feels like we still want us to be a part of India, certainly we don't. Before people misinterprets the whole idea of the song, please remove that line about bongobhongo. We have fought for the independence, we want to remain independent.

Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Smnawed (talk • contribs) 01:50, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Obviously, Bangladesh is an independent country and we respect your autonomy and sovereignty. But Amar Shonar Bangla was originally written by Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore to promote a sense of unity and brotherhood among Bengalis, in response to the Partition of Bengal in 1905; that's the truth and no one can change it. It was adopted as Bangladesh's national anthem when it gained independence in the 1970s, and the song is a beautiful one. It doesn't have any political inclinations, it is a song that simply defines the joy and beauty of Bengal; and one's devotion to Bengal. Even today, many Indian Bengalis feel proud to hear Amar Shonar Bangla. But it's also clearly Bangladesh's national anthem. It's nothing like we are trying to impose something, the history says it all. And that's why at least the main motive of the song, the motive for which it was originally written should remain at least in the history section of Amar Shonar Bangla's Wikipedia page.

Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DevanshVerma039 (talk • contribs) 15:00, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Rushdie's line
Salmon Rushdie: Midnight's Children, p 355:

 * The song was called 'Amar Sonar Bangla' ('Our Golden Bengal', author: R. Tagore) and ran, in part: 'During spring the fragrance of your mango-groves maddens my heart with delight.'

Ditto, p 356:
 * [...] gathered in the trees and sang the words of 'Our Golden Bengal': '… O Mother, I am poor, but what little I have, I lay at thy feet. And it maddens my heart with delight.'

Did he make the second quote up or is it missing in this article? --Thrissel (talk) 21:25, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

No, he didn't make it up. Tagore's actual lyric is much longer; of its five stanzas, Bangladesh chose only the first two as its official national anthem. Its only the last stanza that includes the lines you refer to in page 356 of Midnight's Children, so you can understand why its missing from this article. TathD (talk) 22:21, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

"Tennger Caldera"?
Isn't the Tengger Caldera the much larger caldera within which Mt Bromo sits? -- Danny Yee 04:57, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes

 * I think it is wrong that Tennger Caldera redirects here. This article does not focus on Tennger Caldera. From terrain mapped satellite imagery (such as Google Earth) it is obvious that Tennger must have been a massive feature with a significant eruption leading to the creation of the caldera. Vulcanologists must surely know something about that event? So where is the article on Wikipedia that covers it? I can't find one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.243.55.212 (talk) 18:57, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Killdozer (band)

Killdozer was an American rock band formed in Madison, Wisconsin, in 1983 with members Bill Hobson, Dan Hobson and Michael Gerald. They took their name from the 1974 TV movie, directed by Jerry London, itself based on a Theodore Sturgeon short story. They released their first album, Intellectuals are the Shoeshine Boys of the Ruling Elite, in the same year. The band split in 1990 but reformed in 1993, losing guitarist Bill Hobson and gaining Paul Zagoras, and continued until they split up in 1996. Their farewell tour was officially titled "Fuck You, We Quit!", and included Erik Tunison of Die Kreuzen in place of Dan Hobson on drums and Jeff Ditzenberger on additional guitar. The band released nine albums, including a post-breakup live album, The Last Waltz.

Killdozer was notable for its slow, grinding song structures and blackly humorous lyrics, growled ominously by singer/guitarist Michael Gerald at the top of his lungs. Many of their songs were disturbing narratives of small-town life gone awry, and later had a jaded, left-wing political perspective. Killdozer is regarded by many to have helped set the foundation for grunge music, despite that genre's association with the city of Seattle.

The band also became famous for its cover songs, an example being Don McLean's "American Pie". A version exists on their 1989 all-covers album For Ladies Only. Gerald also did a cover of Jessi Colter's "I'm Not Lisa" for the band's 1986 EP Burl, dedicated "in loving memory of" the then-living Burl Ives. The EP in its entirety can be found on the CD version of their 1994 album Uncompromising War on Art Under the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

History
The band recorded under the Touch and Go Records label during the 1980s and 1990s and they often toured with or played alongside label mates such as Butthole Surfers, Scratch Acid and Big Black. The band frequently recorded with producer and fellow Madisonian Butch Vig. Steve Albini (Big Black) recorded Killdozer's 1995 album God Hears Pleas of the Innocent. Twelve Point Buck was the album that brought Butch Vig to the attention of Kurt Cobain and Billy Corgan.

Killdozer played with all original members at Touch and Go Records' 25th anniversary celebration in Chicago on September 9, 2006. To promote the event, flyers declared "Fuck You, We Reunite!", harkening back to the name of their farewell tour ("Fuck You, We Quit!"). Subsequently, in response to the audience at the concert "pleading for more Killdozer", Touch and Go announced a handful of U.S. tour dates for the fall of 2008.

Meanwhile, drummer Dan Hobson has remained active in the Madison music scene, playing in several bands, including Cement Pond with Tim Sullivan (of Drug Induced Nightmare No. 4) on guitar, Steve Burke (of The Gomers) on guitar and vocals, and Gordon Ranney (also of The Gomers) on bass and vocals. The group has released one album entitled Vanilla Guerilla on the independent Corporate Hell Inc. record label in 2005. Michael Gerald is a lawyer in Los Angeles. In 2007, he lent his voice to the New Jersey band Hunchback, for their cover of the Christina Aguilera hit "Beautiful", released on their album Pray For Scars (Don Giovanni Records, 2008). Bill Hobson is a grip in the Los Angeles area.

A 28-track double-disc tribute album, We Will Bury You, was released in 2006 by indie labels -ismist Recordings and Crustacean Records. Killdozer itself contributed two songs, one to start each disc: a cover of The Trammps' "Disco Inferno" and a Butch Vig remix of the Killdozer song "King of Sex", originally from the band's 1985 Snake Boy album.

Gary Goldman

Gary Wayne Goldman (born November 17, 1944) is an American film producer, director, animator, writer and voice actor. He is known for working on films with Don Bluth such as All Dogs Go to Heaven for his directorial debut, Anastasia, An American Tail, and The Land Before Time. He was an animator at Disney before working at Sullivan Bluth Studios with Bluth.

Early life
Goldman was born in Oakland, California and raised in Watsonville, California. As a youth, Goldman was active in sports, an infielder in baseball and quarterback in high school football, he studied piano and enjoyed model-making and drawing. Before devoting himself entirely to the arts, he served as an electronics technician in the United States Air Force from 1962 to 1967, assigned duties in Japan and Germany. He received his Associate of Arts Degree in 1969 from Cabrillo College, and he graduated in December 1971 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Life Drawing and Art History from the University of Hawaii.

Disney
Goldman began his career in animation when he joined Walt Disney Productions in February 1972. His first assignment was as an in-betweener to legendary Disney animator Frank Thomas on the film Robin Hood. He then worked alongside Don Bluth, as an animator, on Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too! and The Rescuers before serving as directing animator on Pete's Dragon and The Small One.

In an effort to accelerate their skills in preparation for leadership assignments within the Disney organization, Goldman and Bluth began to purchase used animation equipment and probe every aspect of animated production, at Don Bluth's home. United by the common goal of restoring the lost techniques of classical animation, Goldman and Bluth, along with animator John Pomeroy, produced, directed and animated the classically animated 27-minute, filmed-featurette Banjo the Woodpile Cat. Their enthusiasm attracted many other artists at Disney, who came by the garage to contribute their time and artistry to the project. It took four years, working nights and weekends in Bluth's garage. In December 1979, the film was shown at the Egyptian theater in Hollywood and the Peppertree theater in Northridge. It received the National Film Advisory Board Award for Excellence, and the Golden Scroll Award from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films. Using what they learned on their project, they attempted to implement their techniques on projects at Disney. Banjo the Woodpile Cat was later shown on ABC Television (June 1982), as a prime time special.

Post-Disney
Divided by disagreements over story and production values, Goldman, along with Bluth and Pomeroy, resigned from Walt Disney Productions to establish their independent animation studio, Don Bluth Productions, in 1979. The departure was highly publicized and the trio was dubbed "Disney Defectors" by news reporters.

Since leaving Disney, the team produced several feature films, starting with The Secret of NIMH, which won the Saturn Award for "Best Animated Feature" from the Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Film Academy. In late 1982, composer Jerry Goldsmith introduced them to director Steven Spielberg. Their first collaboration with Spielberg, which began production in January 1985, An American Tail, was released in November 1986 and ushered in a new era of success for the full-length animated feature, becoming the highest-grossing animated film up to that time.

Goldman was a producer on the highly successful animated laser disc interactive video games Dragon's Lair, Space Ace and Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp. Dragon's Lair received the Inkpot Award for the "First Interactive Laser Disc Arcade Game" and an Arkie Award for the "Best Arcade Audio/Visuals". Financial difficulties with their distributor cut them off from financing and forced them to seek protection from bankruptcy in 1984. It was at this time that they met mergers and acquisitions expert, Morris Sullivan, who set up a corporation, Sullivan Studios to allow the trio to continue while the bankruptcy courts slowly settled their company's case against its distributor.

In 1986, Sullivan moved Goldman, Bluth & Pomeroy, and the entire operation, including 87 employees and their families to Dublin, Ireland, at the invitation of IDA Ireland. Their third feature film, The Land Before Time, was their first production created primarily in Ireland. Sullivan transferred much of the ownership of the Dublin studio to the three animators and renamed the company Sullivan Bluth Studios. The company produced six feature films from 1986 until 1994. Sullivan retired in 1991 and the company was renamed Don Bluth Entertainment, Ireland, Ltd.

In August 1994, Goldman and Bluth returned from Ireland to head up the Fox Animation Studio located in Phoenix, Arizona where they shared creative leadership as producers and directors. The first production completed by the studio was the award-winning Anastasia in 1997. Also produced there was Bartok the Magnificent in 1999, and the animated science fiction post-apocalyptic film Titan A.E. in 2000. A fourth feature film, Africa, was in production when 20th Century Fox shut down its Phoenix animation facility.

Goldman and Bluth have reestablished their independence with their production company Don Bluth Films, Inc., developing feature-length properties. The company established a website where they communicate with their audience on a personal level and provide animation information online.

In August 2007, Goldman was named an artist in residence at the Savannah College of Art and Design for the college's 10-week winter quarter starting in January 2008. Goldman lectured on animation, as well as taught undergraduate and graduate level classes in traditional 2-D animation production.

Miscellaneous
Goldman has been a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences since 1978.

Personal life
While in college he married elementary teacher Janith Eileen Brand in April 1968. They separated in 1983 and divorced in 1987. They have two children, Kip and Andrew. In 2000 Goldman & Bluth received Lifetime Achievement Awards for their dedication and contribution to the art of animation from Animation Magazine, and in 2005, at the Savannah Film Festival, Lifetime Achievement Awards for animation, from the Savannah College of Art & Design, to which they gave their animation art archive. Goldman remarried in late 1988 to film cutter Cathy (Bassett) Carr. She and her three children John Carr, Jason Carr and Joanna Carr moved with him to Dublin, Ireland in 1986. Together they have nine grandchildren.

Killdozer! (film)

Killdozer! is a 1974 made for TV science-fiction horror movie, adapted from a 1944 novella of the same name by Theodore Sturgeon. A comic book adaptation appeared the same year, in Marvel Comics' Worlds Unknown #6 (April 1974). The film has since gained a cult following.

Plot
A meteorite crashes onto the Earth's surface on an island off the coast of Africa. Countless years later, after natural forces have buried it and restored the local environment, six construction workers are boated to the island to begin work building an airstrip for an oil drilling company at the crash site on the uninhabited island. A recovering alcoholic, foreman Kelly (Clint Walker) is in charge, but this is his last chance to redeem himself; if he fails this project, he will almost certainly be fired and face very poor job prospects.

Kelly and bulldozer driver Mack (Robert Urich) uncover the meteorite (though they do not know what it is), which emits a strange sound. When the bulldozer (a Caterpillar D9 in the movie, a Caterpillar D7 in the novella) is used to try to shift the meteorite, it emits a blue light that moves to, and seems to possess, the bulldozer. Mack, standing nearby as this occurs, falls ill and then dies some hours later. Chub (Neville Brand), the team's mechanic, cannot find anything wrong with the inoperative bulldozer, but can hear the odd sound from the blade. Kelly orders that the bulldozer not be used.

Beltran (James A. Watson Jr.) ignores the prohibition and starts the bulldozer, bringing it to malevolent life, indwelt by the entity. It destroys the camp's only two-way radio and begins a rampage, killing the workers one by one. It seems to run indefinitely in spite of a limited fuel capacity. The entity that indwells the machine has some rudimentary intelligence and guile: it hunts down the men.

The crew is soon reduced to just Kelly and Dennis (Carl Betz). Running out of options, with the expected relief crew not due to arrive just yet, they amuse themselves by convicting the entity/bulldozer of murder, then consider methods of "execution": it is too heavy to hang, and too big for the gas chamber. They then realize it might be able to be electrocuted. They lure it to a trap consisting of steel Marston Matting (used for constructing temporary runways during World War II) connected to a generator.

As the high voltage electricity conducts through the bulldozer, the alien entity emerges as an aura around the machine, but there is nothing close by for it to transfer to: the aura finally fades. The men shut down the power and check the blade: no sound. Though Kelly realizes his story will not be believed, he intends to tell the truth.

Production

Home media
Killdozer! was released for the first time on DVD by Willette Acquisition Corporation on July 1, 2021, and on blu-ray and DVD by Kino Lorber in 2020.

Reception
Killdozer! received mostly negative reviews upon its release, with criticism directed towards the film's 'outlandish' premise.

The Los Angeles Times called it "technically lots more impressive than it is dramatic."

Charleston Picou from HorrorNews.net gave the film a mixed review, writing, "While the movie itself is well made for a ‘70s TV flick, with decent acting and directing, it’s ultimately undone by the overall ridiculousness. The titular killdozer is never really that frightening and is sometimes kind of silly looking." Regardless, Picou stated the film 'still manages to be entertaining'. Jon Condit from Dread Central panned the film, awarding the film a score of 0.5 out of 5. In his review, Condit criticized the film's ridiculous premise, sluggish pace, "one-dimensional" characters, and overall lack of suspense. Andrew Smith from the British film review website Popcorn Pictures gave the film a score of 0 out of 10, writing, "Killdozer is dreadful fare which should have been left to rust on the seventies scrap heap. It’s hard trying to find positives to say about it. Even its short running time drags out for an eternity." However, not all reviews for the film were negative. The Terror Trap rated the film a score of 2.5 out of 4 stars, stating that the film "comes off fairly well thanks to its straightforward, sci-fi approach", while also noting its strange premise.

Legacy
In spite of receiving largely negative reviews from both critics and audience members, Killdozer! has acquired a cult following over the years and is now considered a cult classic.

The rock band Killdozer was named after the film.
