Version 6 Unix

Sixth Edition Unix, also called Version 6 Unix or just V6, was the first version of the Unix operating system to see wide release outside Bell Labs. It was released in May 1975 and, like its direct predecessor, targeted the DEC PDP-11 family of minicomputers. It was superseded by Version 7 Unix in 1978/1979, although V6 systems remained in regular operation until at least 1985.

AT&T Corporation licensed Version 5 Unix to educational institutions only, but licensed Version 6 also to commercial users for $20,000, and it remained the most widely used version into the 1980s. An enhanced V6 was the basis of the first ever commercially sold Unix version, INTERACTIVE's IS/1. Bell's own PWB/UNIX 1.0 was also based on V6, where earlier (unreleased) versions were based on V4 and V5. Whitesmiths produced and marketed a (binary-compatible) V6 clone under the name Idris.

Source code

V6 Unix was released as a distribution including the full source code. Since source code was available and the license was not explicit enough to forbid it, V6 was taken up as a teaching tool, notably by the University of California, Berkeley, Johns Hopkins University and the University of New South Wales (UNSW).

UC Berkeley distributed a set of add-on programs called the First Berkeley Software Distribution or 1BSD, which later became a complete operating system distribution.

UNSW professor John Lions' famous Commentary on UNIX 6th Edition was an edited selection of the main parts of the kernel as implemented for a Digital PDP-11/40, and was the main source of kernel documentation for many early Unix developers. Due to license restrictions on later Unix versions, the book was mainly distributed by samizdat photo-copying.

The source code for the original V6 Unix was later made available as free software under a BSD License from the SCO Group.

Interdata 7/32
In 1977, Richard Miller and Ross Nealon, working under the supervision of professor Juris Reinfelds at Wollongong University, completed a port of V6 Unix to the Interdata 7/32, thus proving the portability of Unix and its new systems programming language C in practice. Their "Wollongong Interdata UNIX, Level 6" also included utilities developed at Wollongong, and later releases had features of V7, notably its C compiler. Wollongong Unix was the first ever port to a platform other than the PDP series of computers, proving that portable operating systems were indeed feasible, and that C was the language in which to write them. In 1980, this version was licensed to The Wollongong Group in Palo Alto that published it as Edition 7.

Interdata 8/32
Around the same time, a Bell Labs port to the Interdata 8/32 was completed, but not externally released. The goal of this port was to improve the portability of Unix more generally, as well to produce a portable version of the C compiler. The resulting Portable C Compiler (PCC) was distributed with V7 and many later versions of Unix, and was used to produce the UNIX/32V port to the VAX.

IBM VM/370
A third Unix portability project was completed at Princeton, NJ in 1976–1977, where the Unix kernel was adapted to run as a guest operating on IBM's VM/370 virtualization environment. This version became the nucleus of Amdahl's first internal UNIX offering. (see Amdahl UTS)

Variants and extensions
Bell Labs developed several variants of V6, including the stripped-down MINI-UNIX for low-end PDP-11 models, LSI-UNIX or LSX for the LSI-11, and the real-time operating system UNIX/RT, which merged V6 Unix and the earlier MERT hypervisor.

After AT&T decided the distribution by Bell Labs of a number of pre-V7 bug fixes would constitute support (disallowed by an antitrust settlement) a tape with the patchset was slipped to Lou Katz of USENIX, who distributed them.

The University of Sydney released the Australian Unix Share Accounting Method (AUSAM) in January 1978, a V6 variant with improved security and process accounting, in addition to the fifty fixes that leaked out of Bell Labs. There were several subsequent releases.

Interactive Systems Corporation released an enhanced PDP-11 version for office automation called IS/1.

In the Eastern Bloc, clones of V6 Unix appeared for local-built PDP-11 clones (MNOS, later augmented for partial compatibility with BSD Unix) and for the Elektronika BK personal computer (BKUNIX, based on LSX).

V6 was used for teaching at MIT in 2002 through 2006, and subsequently replaced by a simpler clone called xv6.

William E. Dodge

William Earl Dodge Sr. (September 4, 1805 – February 9, 1883) was an American businessman, politician, and activist. He was referred to as one of the "Merchant Princes" of Wall Street in the years leading up to the American Civil War. Dodge saw slavery as an evil to be peaceably removed, but not to be interfered with where it existed. He was a Native American rights activist and served as the president of the National Temperance Society from 1865 to 1883. Dodge represented New York's 8th congressional district in the United States Congress for a portion of the 39th United States Congress in 1866–1867 and was a founding member of the YMCA of the US.

Biography
William Earl Dodge was born in Hartford, Connecticut, the second son of David Low Dodge, founder of the New York Peace Society, and his wife Sarah Cleveland, the daughter of minister Aaron Cleveland. He married Melissa Phelps (1809–1903), a daughter of Anson Green Phelps and Olivia Egleston. The couple had seven sons. In 1833, Dodge and his father-in-law founded the trading firm Phelps, Dodge and Company. In 1908 they became one of Americas largest mining companies Phelps Dodge Corporation. Dodge is the namesake of Dodge County, Georgia. A consortium of businessmen led by Dodge purchased large tracts of timberland in this area following the Civil War. The Dodge Land Company laid claim to over 300000 acre of land through questionable land deeds. The consortium's ownership of these lands led to land wars which resulted in nearly fifty years of court cases.

Dodge and his associates built the Macon and Brunswick Railroad, connecting Macon to what was then a remote area of the state. Dodge County was formed in 1870 and Eastman, the county seat, was established at the railroad's Station Number 13. Dodge visited the area only once, to dedicate a two-story courthouse that he donated to the county. Dodge's sons later administered the timber businesses in this area.

Dodge was active in the post-Civil War Native American policy reform movement. He joined Peter Cooper in organizing the privately funded United States Indian Commission in 1868 and helped institute Ulysses S. Grant's Peace Policy toward Native Americans. In 1869, Dodge toured the Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) and Kansas as a member of the government-sponsored Board of Indian Commissioners. He met and discussed U.S. Indian policy with representatives of the Cheyenne, Arapaho and Kiowa nations. Dodge lobbied for the prosecution of the U.S. cavalry commanders responsible for the 1870 Marias Massacre in Montana, which left 173 Blackfeet dead. Dodge unsuccessfully campaigned to establish a cabinet-level Department for Indian Affairs. He also used his influence in Washington on behalf of Native educational programs and the General Allotment Act of 1887. Dodge's core belief regarding Native Americans during the 1880s was that the only way to save Native Americans from perceived destructed from Euro-American immigration and railway development was the forced education of Native American children that would ultimately lead to American citizenship.

A monument to William E. Dodge stands on the North side of Bryant Park in New York City.

Dodge was a founding member of the Board of Trustees for the Syrian Protestant College, later renamed the American University of Beirut. As Treasurer, he laid the cornerstone of College Hall, the first building on the present campus in Ras Beirut, on December 7, 1871.

His eldest son, William Earl Dodge Jr., assumed control of the Phelps Dodge company after his death.

Mekhitarists

The Mechitarists, officially the Benedictine Congregation of the Mechitarists (Benedictina Congregatio Mechitarista), is an Armenian Catholic monastic order of pontifical right for men founded in 1701 by Mekhitar of Sebaste. Members use the postnominal abbreviation CAM.

The order is best known for their series of scholarly publications of ancient Armenian versions of otherwise lost ancient Greek texts and their research on classical and modern Armenian language. They follow the Rule of Saint Benedict.

The congregation was long divided into two branches, with the respective motherhouses being in Venice and Vienna. In July 2000 they united to form one institute.

History

Their eponymous founder, Mekhitar of Sebaste, was born in Sebastia in Armenia, then part of the Ottoman Empire, in 1676. He entered a monastery, but was concerned about the level of culture and education in Armenia under Turkish rule at that period, and sought to do something about it. Contacts with Western missionaries led him to become interested in translating material from the West into Armenian and setting up a religious order to facilitate education.

Mekhitar set out for Rome in 1695 to make his ecclesiastical studies there, but he was compelled by illness to abandon the journey and return to Armenia. In 1696 he was ordained a priest and for four years worked among his people.

In 1700 Mekhitar went to Istanbul and began to gather disciples around him. Mekhitar formally joined the Latin Church, and in 1701, with sixteen companions, he formed a religious order of which he became the superior. They encountered the opposition of other Armenians and were compelled to move to the Morea (Peloponnese), at that time Venetian territory, where they built a monastery in 1706. At its inception the order was seen as an attempted reform of Eastern monachism. Jesuit priest Filippo Bonanni wrote of the arrival of two Armenian monks, Elias Martyr and Joannes Simon, sent by Mekhitar to Pope Clement XI to offer the most humble subjection of himself and convent (Ut ei se cum suis religiosis humillime subjiceret). At that time, there was no mention of the Rule of Saint Benedict. Pope Clement XI gave his approval to the order in 1712. The monks began a foundation in Modon with Mekhitar as abbot.

On the outbreak of hostilities between the Turks and Venetians they migrated to Venice, and the island of San Lazzaro was given to them in 1717. This has remained the headquarters of the congregation to this date; Mekhitar died there in 1749, leaving his order firmly established.

The order became very wealthy from gifts. The behaviour of the Abbot Stepanos Melkonian caused a group of monks to leave in disgust and elect their own abbot, first at Trieste and then in 1810 at Vienna. They also established a printing press. The work of printing of Armenian books was by this time of great financial importance and the Venetian Republic made considerable efforts to encourage their return, but in vain.

In 1810 all the other monastic institutions in Venice were abolished by Napoleon, but the Mekhitarists were exempted by name from the decree.

Lord Byron visited the monastery on 13 November 1816, a Wednesday. His companion John Cam Hobhouse left this account of the visit:

Byron and I then went in [a] gondola to [the] establishment of St Lazare. It was some time before we were let in – the brothers were at prayer, but when we walked into their church one of them bowed out and most courteously showed us about. Unfortunately the key to the library was not to be found – the keeper of it was out. We saw the neat galleries and little chambers of the fathers, with Armenian letters over them. Our conductor showed us a man’s dictionary of Armenian and Latin – told us there were about forty frati and eighteen pupils, some few from Armenia, but mostly Constantinople. One has been in London and talks English. The youths learn Latin, all of them, and some Greek – also German and French some – and all Italian – English will now be taught.

Those who please of the pupils enter the order (they have revenues on the mainland). Zanetto said Napoleon despoiled them, but our conductor contradicted this, and said that he gave a decree from Paris saving this brotherhood from the fate of the other monasteries on account of their patriotic labours for their countrymen. We saw their press, where eight men are employed, when we saw them on an Armenian Testament. They are now on a translation of Rollin. Their average is four books a year. They are all for the use of the Armenian nation, and all printed, as our guide said, in the literal (literary/classical) Armenian. They are shipped for Constantinople, and there sold.

The dining-hall set out there looked like a Cambridge dining-hall – and the establishment is about 100 years old founded by one [Mekhitar], whose picture is in the refectory. It did our hearts good to see the place. We are to return and see the library. They are all Catholics.

The Schism of 1773
One of the most significant moments in the history of the Mekhitarist order established in Venice in 1717 was the schism of 1773, which not only had an impact on the structure and the future of the order but also on the Armenian church itself. The formation of the Armenian Catholic groups could be seen as the product of the division inside this ethnic community.

The schism reached a breaking point in 1773 when a group of Armenian monks under the direction of Ghevont Alishan, a follower of Mechitar, publicly seceded from the Armenian Apostolic Church and founded the Armenian Catholic Church. As a result of the schism, the Armenian community was severely divided; many Armenians chose to stick behind the Armenian Apostolic Church.

After the division, a new branch of the Mekhitarist order was formed in Trieste which then belonged to the Habsburgs. When in 1805 Trieste was occupied by the French the Triestine Mekhitarists lost all their property because they were seen as Habsburg subjects. In 1837 the new branch of the order moved to Vienna where it can be found until today, carrying Armenian culture to the European continent. The major distinctions were that the Venice branch was focused on the preservation of the Armenian language and the translation of old Armenian books and manuscripts while preserving the Armenian language. The Venice branch of the order started translating the books and the manuscripts into different languages which allowed the popularization of the Armenian culture, they also started educational systems where the monks of the order would teach the Armenian heritage.

Organization

While the Mekhitarists live under the Rule of Saint Benedict, they are considered their own religious order separate from the Benedictines, similar to the Cistercians, hence they are not considered a congregation within the Order of Saint Benedict.

The main abbeys are San Lazzaro degli Armeni in Venice and the Mekhitarist Monastery in Vienna. There is a large convent and college for lay students at Padua, the legacy of a pious Armenian who died at Madras. In the year 1846 another rich benefactor, Samuel Morin, founded a similar establishment at Paris. Other houses were established in Austria-Hungary, Russia, Persia and Turkey – fourteen in all, according to early 20th century statistics, with one hundred and fifty-two monks, the majority of whom are priests. While not large for an order hundreds of years old, its extension was necessarily restricted because of its exclusive devotion to persons and things Armenian.

In 1911 they had fifteen establishments in various places in Asia Minor and Europe with some 150 monks, all Armenians; they used the Armenian language and rite in the liturgy.

Monastic life
After a novitiate of two years, monks take the usual religious vows, along with a fourth vow – "to give obedience to the preceptor or master deputed by their superior to teach them the dogmas of the Catholic Faith". Many of them vow themselves also to missionary work in Armenia, Persia and Turkey, where they live on alms and wear as a badge, beneath the tunic, a cross of red cloth, on which are certain letters signifying their desire to shed their blood for the Catholic faith. They promise on oath to work together in harmony so that they may the better win the schismatics back to God. They elect an abbot for life, who has the power to dismiss summarily any of his monks who should prove disorderly. They wear the beard, Oriental fashion, and have a black habit: tunic, cloak and hood. In an engraving, the Mekhitarists would be undistinguishable from a friar of the Order of St. Augustine, except for his beard.

The Mekhitarists at first followed the rule attributed to Anthony the Great, but when they settled in the West modifications from the Rule of Saint Benedict were introduced. The use of the Rule of Saint Benedict represented the introduction of Western monasticism into the East, where up to this time a monk had no duty or vocation but to fill his place in the monastery and save his soul in the cloister, having broken off all relations with the outside world and had no idea of performing any works other than his choir duties, prayers, fastings, and the monastic observance. Under the Rule of Saint Benedict, a monk would be expected to devote himself to some useful work and take some thought of his neighbour. This adoption of the rule was desired by Mekhitar and his monks, having a desire to devote themselves to apostolic work among their schismatic brethren, to instruct their ignorance, excite their devotion and bring them back into the communion with the Catholic Church. At the same time, it also offered security against lapsing into apathy and inactivity.

Missionaries, writers and educationists, devoted to the service of their Armenian brethren wherever they might be found, such are these Benedictines of the Eastern Church. Their subjects usually enter the convent at an early age, eight or nine years old, receive in it their elementary schooling, spend about nine years in philosophical and theological study, at the canonical age of twenty-five, if sufficiently prepared, are ordained priests by their bishop-abbot, and are then employed by him in the various enterprises of the order. First, there is the work of the mission – not the conversion of the heathen, but priestly ministry to the Armenian communities settled in most of the commercial centres of Europe. With this is joined, where needed and possible, the apostolate of union with Rome. Next there is the education of the Armenian youth and, associated with this, the preparation and publication of good and useful Armenian literature.

Their work has been fourfold:

 * 1) they have brought out editions of important patristic works, some Armenian, others translated into Armenian from Greek and Syriac originals no longer extant;
 * 2) until the late 20th century they printed and circulated Armenian literature among the Armenians, thereby exercising a powerful educational influence;
 * 3) they have founded primary and secondary schools in various locations, four of which are still operational: in Istanbul, Pangaltı Ermeni İlköğretim Okulu ve Lisesi, founded in 1825, in Beirut, founded in 1930, in Buenos Aires founded in 1956 and in Los Angeles, founded in 1979;
 * 4) they work as Eastern Catholic missionaries in Armenia.

Literary and artistic activities
Mekhitar is credited for the initiating the study of the Armenian writings of the fourth and fifth centuries, which has resulted in the development and adoption of a literary language, nearly as distinct from the vulgar tongue as Latin is from Italian. This provided modern Armenian with a literary connection to its ancient past and literature.

Mekhitar's versions of The Imitation of Christ and the Bible began the series of translations of great books, continued unceasingly during two centuries, and ranging from the early Fathers of the Church and the works of Thomas Aquinas (one of their first labors) to Homer and Virgil and the best known poets and historians of later days.

Ariel Agemian illustrated the Imitation and contributed several major portraits of Mekhitarist Monks and religious scenes. He is also known for documenting the Turkish Massacre from his own recollections.

At one period, in connexion with their Vienna house, there existed an association for the propagation of Catholic books, which is said to have distributed nearly a million volumes, and printed and published six new works each year. To him also they owe the guidance of their first steps in exegesis – the branch of learning in which they have won most distinction – and the kindred studies of the liturgy and the religious history of their country.

At San Lazzaro he founded the printing press from which the most notable of their productions have been issued, and commenced there the collection of Armenian manuscripts for which their library has become famous. To any but members of the order the history of the Mekhitarists has been uneventful, because of the quiet, untiring plodding along ancient, traditional paths, and the fidelity to the spirit and ideals of their founder.

Principally by means of the Mekhitarists' innumerable periodicals, pious manuals, Bibles, maps, engravings, dictionaries, histories, geographies and other contributions to educational and popular literature they have served Catholicism among the Armenian nation.

The following are the most valuable of their contributions to the common cause of learning. Firstly the recovery, in ancient Armenian translations, of some lost works of the Church Fathers. Among them may be noted Letters (thirteen) of St. Ignatius of Antioch and a fuller and more authentic "History of the Martyrdom of St. Ignatius"; some works of Ephrem the Syrian, notably a sort of "Harmony of the Gospels" and a "Commentary on the Epistles of St. Paul"; an edition of Eusebius's Ecclesiastical History. The publication of these works is due to the famous Mekhitarist Pascal Aucher, who was assisted in the last of them by Cardinal Mai. Pascal Aucher (Harut'iwn Awgerian: 1774–1855) also became Lord Byron's tutor in Armenian, and his "spiritual pastor and master". Aucher also translated "Armenian Missal" (Tübingen, 1845) and "Dom Johannis philosophi Ozniensis Armeniorum Catholici (AD 718) Opera" (Venice, 1534) into German, and Paradise Lost into Armenian (1824).

Two original historical works may also be noted: "The History of Armenia", by Mikayel Chamchian (1784–1786) and the "Quadro della storia letteraria di Armenia" by Sukias Somal (Venice, 1829).

The monks work to promote both Catholicism and Armenian patriotism. Their goals include the preservation of Armenian language and literature. Individually, the monks are distinguished by their linguistic accomplishments, and the Vienna establishment has attracted attention by the institution of a Literary Academy, which confers honorary membership without regard to race or religion.

Tweaking

Tweaking refers to fine-tuning or adjusting a complex system, usually an electronic device. Tweaks are any small modifications intended to improve a system.

In electronics, it is a synonym for "trimming." Analog circuit boards often have small potentiometers or other components on them that are used to calibrate or adjust the board as a service procedure: the small insulated screwdriver used to turn them is often called a "tweaker."

This use was echoed in the name of the product Tweek, a popular but controversial audio product during the 1980s, which was claimed to improve the electrical characteristics of audio switch contacts.

Hardware
Hardware tweaking is a process of modifying certain parts of a hardware such as changing the cables, cleaning the heads of a VCR with a branded cleaning fluid or oiling the moving parts of an engine with the best possible oil.

Computer hardware
Computer hardware tweaking is an extension of hardware tweaking, specifically geared towards the components of a PC. They include: changing voltage and clock rates of processing units, modifying RAM unit timing, improving cooling systems to reduce chance of overheating, etc.

Tweaks specifically designed to allow a processor to operate at a higher clock speed than normal are known as overclocking.

Modifications of computer systems not aimed at increasing performance, such as quieter fans, external controls, and decorations such as lights or windows, are known as modding.

Software
Software tweaking is the process of improving the performance of an application or the quality of its output. There can be two ways of accomplishing this: manually (that is, if one is familiar with programming; though it may be irrelevant if the source of the application is closed, and there are no built-in means to adjust its performance) or using another piece of software specialized for that purpose. Tweaking of this kind generally increases usability, in terms of personal configuration preferences, rather than objective performance of the system overall).

Some very precise applications need constant and thorough tweaking to stay up to date and deliver best possible results. One of the most obvious examples of such a fine tuning is LAME MP3 encoder, whose 3.9x branch is not only considered as the state-of-the-art MP3 encoder, but also continues to shape the boundaries of the MP3 codec and stay competitive with its successors.

Talk:Street Fighter

Human Killing Machine
I removed some language from the article in the Street Fighter II section that claimed was a failed sequel to the original Street Fighter. I did some research into when it was added, and it appears an IP added it as far back as 2009-01-17T21:18:04, and it was removed on 2009-01-29T16:07:44. The content was restored by a different IP from the same network the next day with this edit: 2009-01-30T01:49:52, and it has remained in the article (in as much as I can tell without checking many of the intervening edits) for over a decade. The only sources provided to support the claim were a YouTube video (of dubious research value) and a link to an old issue of Your Sinclair (a UK enthusiast magazine for the old Sinclair computer systems (mainly the ZX Spectrum)).

Referencing that, I found two instances of "Street Fighter" mentioned by the author Duncan MacDonald, the first in the review intro where he opens with:
 * Human Killing Machine? The sequel to Street Fighter? Blimey! Duncan MacDonald hides behind a sofa and tells us about it by flashing a torch in morse code. Will he be spotted though?

In the review itself, it's only mentioned once more (2nd paragraph):
 * Remember Street Fighter with it's big (big big) sprites, in which you got to kick, bash and slash (Oo-er) it up against backdrops from various locations throughout the world? You do? Well, Human Killing Machine is the sequel. The problem with Street Fighter was that it was just too easy to finish off your assailants – if you crouched down and hacked away at their ankles with your foot for long enough they'd soon topple over and cash in their chips. Not so with Human Killing Machine – not by a long chalk by cracky, so cast those negative thoughts from your minds. Oh, and read on.

I feel like the author was writing this review not based on facts, but based on trying to help the developer of the game sell more units. Nothing else in the review makes a connection between Capcom and the listed publisher "Go!" (apparently a label used by U.S. Gold). I suppose one could try and argue this is like Ms. Pac-Man being a sequel to Pac-Man (when in fact Ms. Pac-Man was an unauthorized attempt that was eventually made official after development). However, I don't think that is the case here, and unless additional sources can be provided to corroborate this claim (importantly: sources that may not have been tainted by this article having the information present for over a decade and thus Wikipedia being in fact the circular source for this in some more recent article), I think the information should be omitted. Opinions and thoughts welcome. —Locke Cole • t • c 05:11, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Almost forgot: Street Fighter II makes no mention of Human Killing Machine anywhere, which seems really odd considering it was mentioned so prominently here. —Locke Cole • t • c 05:23, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I think you made the right choice. Axem Titanium (talk) 15:28, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

UCLA Taser incident video link
Why did you change the video linked from UCLA Taser incident? They seem to be 2 copies of the same video. Flatscan 01:30, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

 * The new link directed to the original video, so I should have been changed. =D   Jumping cheese  [[Image:Misc-tpvgames.gif|18px]] Cont @  ct 01:19, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree that the link should direct to the original video, but I'm not sure that we can determine which is the original or earliest, as YouTube provides posting date, but not time. Threeonezero described his link as the "actual" video, implying that the original link was not "actual" (I inferred "cut" or "altered"), and I was curious about the basis of that claim. I did a quick search for jedifreac (Threeonezero's link) and came up with this LiveJournal post, which has a disclaimer at the top disavowing that jedifreac has any particular knowledge of the incident. jedifreac however appears to be a UCLA student and a CLICC staff member. The video that I saw originally has more Views, Comments, and Favorites, probably due to being posted on digg. Flatscan 04:26, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

 * When searching for "ucla taser" and sorting by date, jedifreac's video is earliest 6:53 copy. I fully withdraw my objections to the edit. As a bit of trivia, the version linked at the top of Video and eyewitness accounts currently has 382,631 views. Flatscan 04:32, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Orange Line
Why did you move the orange line page from "Orange Line Transitway" to "LACMTA Orange Line"? its technically a transitway and not a rail line so it should follow the naming conventions of the transitways than that of the rail lines. RickyCourtney 22:58, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Privacy concerns
Hey, I noticed you self=censoring some images in the Metro Rapid article due to "privacy concerns." However, I really don't think that this is necessary.

Cheers! —lensovet–talk – 05:34, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Metro Rapid
I removed the information for most of the lines because in the first section of the article, it mentions the consent decree ruling and how most lines are required to run at specific times and headways, and that applies to nearly all of the Metro Rapid lines. I did it to remove redundancy. But if you think it should be there, then that's fine with me. -Rcstampede 15:53, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Covenant Aviation Security

A tag has been placed on Covenant Aviation Security requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Peridon (talk) 13:56, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Upper Kirby

Upper Kirby is a commercial district in Houston, Texas, United States. It is named after Kirby Drive, so indirectly takes its name from John Henry Kirby.

Upper Kirby contains many businesses, including restaurants. Upper Kirby is east of the Greenway Plaza, southwest of Neartown, north of the city of West University Place, and south of River Oaks.

Upper Kirby is considered to be in an area west of South Shepherd Drive, east of Buffalo Speedway, north of Bissonnet Street, and south of Westheimer Road.

History
The River Oaks Garden Club Forum of Civics, located in Upper Kirby, is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as the "Forum of Civics" on October 13, 1988. Formerly a county schoolhouse, the building is currently the administrative center for the River Oaks Garden Club.

The Texas Legislature created the Harris County Improvement District #3, also known as the Upper Kirby Management District, which governs the Upper Kirby area. In 1999 the Houston city council created the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone 19, which covers 15 acre. Prior to the formation of these districts, the area did not have a distinct identity. The usage of the British decor and the name were calculated to give the area a specific identity. At one time the red phone booths were operational, and there was a double decker bus that shuttled patrons to various restaurants.

In 2006 the Upper Kirby district had plans to establish a "teen center" at Richmond at Wake Forest geared towards students at Lamar High School, Lanier Middle School, St. John's School, and other Upper Kirby schools and schools near Upper Kirby. Funding issues have delayed establishment of the center.

Cityscape
In 2017, about 53% of the housing units were constructed post-1999.

Economy
Several businesses are located in the district. The studio for KTRK-TV ABC 13, the ABC station for the Houston area, is located at 3310 Bissonnet Street. Solvay America has its headquarters in the district. cPanel has its office in Upper Kirby. Restaurants Acquisition I, L.L.C., the operator of Black-eyed Pea restaurants in Texas, is headquartered in Upper Kirby.

In addition a Pakistan International Airlines booking office is in Suite 805 at 3730 Kirby Drive. CBS Radio Houston which houses KHMX, KILT-AM, KILT-FM, KLOL, KKHH, KIKK, is also located in Upper Kirby.

Local government
The Upper Kirby Management District is headquartered in Suite 250 in the Upper Kirby District Center at 3015 Richmond Avenue.

Upper Kirby is a part of the Houston City Council District C. Upper Kirby also makes up a large portion of Harris County Precinct 139, which is the smallest political subdivision in Texas. The current Precinct Chair of Upper Kirby/River Oaks is Louis Molnar (D), and Mr. Molnar also serves as the Presiding Judge of Precinct 139.

The community is within the Houston Police Department's Central Patrol Division, headquartered at 61 Riesner.

County, state and federal representation
Two Harris County precincts, 3 and 4, serve sections of Upper Kirby. As of 2008 the precincts are represented by Steve Radack and Jerry Eversole, respectively. Patrol services are contracted to the Harris County Precinct 1 Constable's Office.

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) operates the Houston II Parole Office in Upper Kirby. At one time the Texas Youth Commission Houston District Office was located in Upper Kirby.

Upper Kirby is in Texas's 7th congressional district. The United States Postal Service operates the Greenbriar Post Office in Upper Kirby.

Harris Health System (formerly Harris County Hospital District) designated Martin Luther King Health Center for the ZIP code 77005 and Northwest Health Center for the ZIP code 77098. The nearest public hospital is Ben Taub General Hospital in the Texas Medical Center.

Culture, parks and recreation

Katharine Schilcutt of the Houston Press said that the founders of the district desired to "forge a connection with the U.K. based solely on sharing the same initials and installing anachronistic red phone booths on random street corners".

The Upper Kirby YMCA Extension is located in Upper Kirby. Upper Kirby is also home to Levy Park, operated by the City of Houston. Leon Levy gave the land that became Levy Park to the city government in 1941. The Upper Kirby district implemented a two-phase renovation project. The first, completed in 2003, included the installation of a community garden. The event to celebrate the completion of Phase II was held on September 30, 2006. Another $15 million renovation was completed in a two year period, with a grand reopening on February 25, 2017. The park also includes a dog park and a softball field. The park is located in the Greenway Plaza area.

Constructed in 1939, the historic Alabama Theatre was a primary entertainment venue of the district until it was closed and later reopened as a Bookstop bookstore. Barnes & Noble acquired the Bookstop chain and, decades later, closed the story in 2009. The theater is now a Trader Joe's.

Most restaurants in Upper Kirby are chain restaurants. Shilcutt said that the restaurants in Upper Kirby were one of the aspects of Upper Kirby that she liked, that "there are some wonderful independent Houston restaurants in the mix, too" and that "while many of the restaurants are some variation on plain Jane American food [...] there's a good variety of ethnic restaurants for the adventurous."

The Islamic Society of Greater Houston (ISGH) has its headquarters in the Eastside Main Center in Upper Kirby.

Primary and secondary schools
Lamar High School, a public secondary school, and St. John's School, an independent K–12 school, are located in Upper Kirby. Residents in Upper Kirby are zoned to schools in the Houston Independent School District. Upper Kirby is divided between Trustee District V, represented by Dianne Johnson as of 2008, and Trustee District VII, represented by Harvin C. Moore as of 2008. Johnson will no longer serve as a board member after 2009.

Several elementary schools, including Poe, River Oaks, and West University serve sections of Upper Kirby. Lanier Middle School and Pershing Middle School serve separate sections of Upper Kirby. Pin Oak Middle School is an option for Pershing-zoned residents. All of Upper Kirby is zoned to Lamar High School.

Public libraries
The community is served by the Adele B. Looscan Neighborhood Library of Houston Public Library. The current Looscan Branch building opened in September 2007. The former Americans with Disabilities Act non-compliant library, which was established in 1956, closed on August 27, 2005 and was demolished in February 2006.

The previous Looscan branch had around 61,000 visitors in the fiscal year 2005. The original plans for Looscan called for the library to get a $5.37 million renovation. An Upper Kirby group proposed a new site near the Upper Kirby YMCA. Around that period the group Friends for Neighborhood Libraries began raising funds. The replacement library, with a cost of $6.2 million, had twice the staff and two and one half times the size of the previous facility. Friends of Neighborhood Libraries had raised $1 million in four months, and around $2.5 million in total to help fund the new library; the group spent about $30,000 for the expenses.

Media
The Jewish Herald-Voice has its offices in Upper Kirby.

The River Oaks Examiner is a local newspaper distributed in the community.

The Houston Chronicle is the area regional newspaper.

KTRK-TV, the ABC News-owned news outlet for the Houston-area, is located in the neighborhood on Bissonnet Street.

You can simply add links, preferably as the inline citations, or see citation templates for different citation methods. Thanks! Lupin|talk|popups 22:47, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Sandy Koufax
Thanks for your edit to Sandy Koufax, however, I reverted your change because you didn't provide a source for the quote you added (see WP:V). Please cite the source of that information so that it can be included. --Spangineeres (háblame)  04:58, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Jackie Robinson
He had had only 4 hits in the first 6 games of the 1955 World Series. I don't know, but I'm guessing Walter Alston benched him in the crucial Game 7 and instead had Don Hoak at third base, for defensive reasons. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 13:12, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
 * In his book, I Never Had It Made, he doesn't specifically address Game 7, but he says that during 1955 and 1956, he was benched a lot due to downturned hitting, and also points out that he was preparing to leave baseball, which also undercuts the myth that he was unwilling to play for the Giants upon being abortively traded after 1956. He was (as he says) no longer interested in playing. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 13:18, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Hello Kell! It seems that you are a natural Wikipedian! You sure found your way in the Encyclopaedia. :) People who are new to Wikipedia and the whole Wiki concept most of the times are shy to start editing and using Wikipedia, so, we have created the Welcoming commitee, where we always search for new users and try to welcome them to make them feel more comfortable with the editing schema. One of the best way to find them is to use the "Recent Changes" on the navigation menu on the left. There you can see every single change that was made to Wikipedia in the time interval you choose. New users are somewhat easy to spot because their "talk" link shows in red, meaning that their Talk page is empty. Oh, I forgot to mention: you too can become a part of any project or any committee in Wikipedia, don't be shy to include yourself on the list! :) See you!-Poli (talk • contribs) 06:13, 2005 July 25 (UTC)

Since You Been Gone

"Since You Been Gone" is a song written by former Argent guitarist Russ Ballard and first released on his 1976 album Winning. It was covered by Rainbow in 1979 and released as a single from their album Down to Earth.

Rainbow version
In 1979, "Since You Been Gone" was covered by Rainbow, who released it as the first single from their 1979 album Down to Earth with Graham Bonnet on lead vocals. It was a top-10 single in the United Kingdom, where it reached number six. In the US, the song reached number 57. It was named the 82nd-best "Hard Rock Song of All Time" by VH1. The song was later included on the second trailer and on the soundtrack to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which first aired on February 12, 2023, during Super Bowl LVII.

Other cover versions

 * In 1978, the Illinois rock band Head East recorded and released a cover version of the song on their 1978 eponymous album, reaching No. 46 on the Billboard Hot 100. Head East's version of this song was their highest charting single.
 * Alcatrazz, also fronted by Graham Bonnet, covered the song on the album Live Sentence with Yngwie Malmsteen on guitar, and yet another Bonnet-fronted outfit, Impellitteri, recorded it for their 1988 debut album Stand in Line.
 * Brian May of Queen performed the song live on the Back to the Light tour in 1993, and it appears on the Live at the Brixton Academy multi-format release.
 * Other cover versions include those by South African all-female band Clout on their 1978 album Substitute, a.k.a. Clout, and by former Runaways vocalist Cherie Currie as a duet with her sister Marie Currie on their 1980 album Messin' with the Boys. Their version reached No. 95 on the Billboard Hot 100.

 * Redirect to Zhang (surname) (no mergeable content). Add as many disambiguation links as you want to Chang (I think creating sub-disambiguation pages is silly).  Surnames are encyclopedic in their own right, if there is something to say about them beyond etymology and frequency (as there certainly is in the case of common East Asian names such as this one).  We've had this discussion before.-- Visviva 08:55, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep unless there is evidence that all the Changs are having their surnames pronounced as Zhang according to the languages they speak. As far as I know some Korean people named Chang are having their surname pronounced as Jang in the Korean language. — Instantnood 12:19, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Zhang (surname), nothing to merge. JamesBurns 07:54, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

 * As Yuje has suggested, Chang and Zhang are not the same all the time. I'd like to request everyone to reconsider . — Instantnood 21:40, July 30, 2005 (UTC)
 * Further request: On top of the previous request, I'd like to request administrators to extend this VFD, given that people voted previously are unaware of the new argument presented. — Instantnood 18:44, August 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Anyone voting to redirect is rather monolingually rude.  Redirecting a chinese surname to a different one is as rather appropriate as redirecting Smith to Jones. SchmuckyTheCat 06:14, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * OK, keep and sort out (although redirecting would have been OK, since it can easily be undone). I didn't really want to get into this here, but the situation is even more complicated.  There are also 4 Korean surnames spelled "Chang"/"Jang," of which only the most common is the one covered in Zhang (surname)... two more Korean surnames are spelled "Chang/Ch'ang."    See List of Korean family names.  I'm not volunteering for this detail, but clearly there is plenty of sorting out to be done here.  -- Visviva 12:40, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Tweaking

 * Looks too much a dictionary-entry to me. Fbergo 05:34, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

"These 'tweaks' are largely psychological, but their primary purpose is to engender a 'warm and fuzzy' feeling of achieved perfection that will please the user despite the absolutely average result they really achieved. (This is quite common among audiophiles.)"

Are we really here to psychoanalyse audiophiles?

the idea that tweaking by audio enthusiasts only provides a psychological "warm fuzzy" i find dubious at best. Aragorn55 (talk) 19:31, 17 August 2008 (UTC)aragorn55

Article needs to be clarified and expanded, bias removed
Firstly, the Software section seems to be filled with pro-open source bias. For example: "Linux and other open source products are designed to facilitate the tweaking process as much as possible, as opposed to Microsoft Windows which limits tweaking but allows it with provision, and Mac OS which largely prohibits or strongly discourages tweaking." It seems like it's been placed in this article deliberately to promote open source software over Microsoft or Apple products. In any case it is not accurate. Take the open source browser Firefox for example - you can tweak Firefox but only if you know how to access the About:Config screen, and even then it warns you before proceeding. This is no different to the way you can tweak Windows or other proprietary software - you have to know the correct screen or command or file before accessing advanced tweaking options. I don't see therefore how open source software is inherently more tweakable than proprietary software. In fact my experience shows that it is not necessarily the case at all. I recommend that the statement be removed due to implicit bias, along with other statements in that section which head off on the path of open-source vs. closed source which is largely irrelevant to actual tweaking, and more relevant to programming.

In terms of the concept of tweaking and whether it is a placebo, as suggested in the note further above, this is incorrect. I suggest the following paragraph (or something similar) be added to the article to better define Software tweaking (and prevent claims that tweaking is a placebo effect): Tweaking can be considered a form of advanced customization. While usually mistaken as simply being a way of increasing performance, in actuality tweaking is not just about optimization, it's about customization; that is letting users configure options which might otherwise be unavailable to them by default. Some of these tweaks may increase performance, some may alter image quality, some may disable or remove annoying aspects of a particular piece of software, some may enable hidden or disabled functionality. For example, in the game Crysis, the ability to access the Very High graphics setting is disabled by default when running under Windows XP. The only reason for this appears to be to promote the DirectX 10 capabilities of Windows Vista, as there is no other technical reason for this restriction. Indeed, by editing the relevant .ini (initialization) files found in the game's program directories, a user can force Very High mode in Crysis under Windows XP, giving a very real and noticeable boost in image quality. I'm hesitant to launch into a major re-write of the Software section of this article, because as I say I would scrap a large portion of the open-source vs. closed-source nonsense which has crept in to bias the article, and which confuses tweaking with altering source code - the two are not the same. Also, I am the owner of the site TweakGuides.com and hence I would prefer an independent editor to make the changes given I have a vested interest in this article. 59.167.36.94 (talk) 02:57, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
