Virtual memory

Hi, this is an encyclopaedia intended for use by all and sundry, not just computer scientists, which is why that introductory paragraph was worded in that rather vague and un-technical way.

Your second paragraph is mostly duplicative of material in the (now) third and fourth paragraphs (again, explained in a way intended for non-technical audiences). You also say "Today, however, this is not the primary reason virtual memory is used", without saying why it is used. (I tried to work it out, but couldn't. AFAIK the reasons to use virtual memory remain as they always were - to avoid burdening the programmer with the details of multi-level storage management.)

Finally, you reference Computer Architecture (which I don't currently own), so I wanted to check to make sure than none of your added text was copied from that work, which would of course violate Wikiepedia's strict copyright policy. If any of that text from the book? Thanks. Noel (talk) 19:19, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

And now that I look at it in more detail, that new first paragraph of yours is wrong anyway. See Talk:Virtual memory for more. Noel (talk) 19:26, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hi, I hope we didn't run you off. Did my comments on Talk:Virtual memory make sense to you? I ordered the Hennesey book, but it's not here yet - I'll be interested to see what they say. Noel (talk) 20:26, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Images

Thanks for uploading Image:Virtualmem.png. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images (on my talk page) and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, BrokenSegue 02:51, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Vitruvius

Thank you for your edit to the Vitruvius page. Follow this link http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Vitruvius/1*.html press ctrl+f and copy/paste this text M. Aurelius.

If you still have an issue please take it up with the author of De architectura. If you have any spare time maybe you can browse through some older texts and find out who the author was referring to as Marcus Aurelius, Publius Minidius, and Gnaeus Cornelius. If you read the discussion page you will see that this has been a mystery to more people than just you. If you think it is a typo in the U of Chicago text then try this one http://www.gutenberg.org/files/20239/20239-8.txt. Granite07 (talk) 06:07, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Underdog. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Underdog~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
