== Frogger C64 screenshot ==

Please, stop reverting. I am correcting the information in the article. Wozniak did not design Breakout, Nolan Bushnell did. Woz programmed it. While Steve Jobs was working at Atari, Bushnell asked if he could do, he said yes, and then asked Woz if he could help him out. Woz ended out coding the original. How can "nobody" not program a game, if it had not been programmed, it would not exist. I do know what programming means, I am a programmer in my spare time. You should also read some books on the subject, such as ''Infinite Loop'' by Michael S.Malone which speaks of the topic when Jobs was working at Atari and got Woz to program the original Breakout for Bushnell. Breakout was hardware and software, you know. Maybe it should say 'programmed and designed' for Atari/Bushnell or something similar. — ] 11:32, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

::If there was no software, then what displayed anything on the screen, hmm? You've just said it was not CPU based. So it wasnt hardware or software, ehh?

I was planning on starting a new one anyway. Your response was the impetus to do so. As for using my page - a public forum - as a place to be called on the carpet, I tend to react rather negatively. There is a ton of garbage coming into this site every day. I edit a lot in the main article space. I've bought six articles to featured status. When not doing that, I feel obligated to help "keep house." I made no threats nor am I malicious. I simply will not tolerate what I feel to be an invasion of my privacy and of my pastime. If I bit back, it's because I believe that you commited a breach of etiquette. I do not wish to fight. If I created extra work, I apologize. - ] 03:15, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

:Posting a message on a talk page is not an "invasion of privacy". That's the craziest thing I've ever heard.

Mirror Vax, are you the kind of person who goes to a movie theater to watch a show, and once the show is over, sneaks in to another one only to catch few minutes before the end?

== Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference ==

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (], guidelines for use at ]). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was <code>true</code>. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to <code>false</code> in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.

For well-established users such as yourself there is ''']''' involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Latest revision as of 02:15, 23 December 2024

This user may have left Misplaced Pages. Mirror Vax has not edited Misplaced Pages since September 2012. As a result, any requests made here may not receive a response. If you are seeking assistance, you may need to approach someone else.

Steve Wozniak

Please, stop reverting. I am correcting the information in the article. Wozniak did not design Breakout, Nolan Bushnell did. Woz programmed it. While Steve Jobs was working at Atari, Bushnell asked if he could do, he said yes, and then asked Woz if he could help him out. Woz ended out coding the original. How can "nobody" not program a game, if it had not been programmed, it would not exist. I do know what programming means, I am a programmer in my spare time. You should also read some books on the subject, such as Infinite Loop by Michael S.Malone which speaks of the topic when Jobs was working at Atari and got Woz to program the original Breakout for Bushnell. Breakout was hardware and software, you know. Maybe it should say 'programmed and designed' for Atari/Bushnell or something similar. — Wackymacs 11:32, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

You obviously never bothered to read the breakout article. It states, correctly, that breakout was not a CPU-based game - it had no software. None. Hence nobody programmed it. Mirror Vax 11:36, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
If there was no software, then what displayed anything on the screen, hmm? You've just said it was not CPU based. So it wasnt hardware or software, ehh? You make no sense. hardware still has to be programmed, by the way. Some of the earliest programming was in hardware. — Wackymacs 11:45, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
OK forget all this, I've replaced the word with "developed" instead of programmed or designed, no problem now. — Wackymacs 14:05, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

The Print Shop

Are you absolutely sure you know an Amiga release? I only found references to the C64. -- Polluks 15:06, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes. See . Or search groups.google.com. . Mirror Vax 18:32, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
You are kidding! One reference without price :-7 Did you really read any of the postings? C'mon! -- Polluks 17:38, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
BTW your first reference says "C-64 only had 48k", do you consider him trustworthy?
You are right. Sorry. I probably confused Print Shop with Deluxe Print. Mirror Vax 18:28, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Hmm, how about an article Deluxe Print? http://amiga.emucamp.com/dprint2.htm -- Polluks 12:08, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Template:AfdAnons

Please do not add nonsense to Misplaced Pages; it is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Nufy8 18:35, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Please don't try and pass that off as a legimate edit. Deliberate misinformation is vandalism. And please don't remove my warnings on your talk page. Nufy8 18:42, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. --MONGO 18:44, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

You have been temporarily blocked from editing for vandalism of Misplaced Pages. Please note that page blanking, addition of random text or spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, and other deliberate attempts to disrupt Misplaced Pages are considered vandalism. If you wish to make useful contributions, you may come back after the block expires. Nufy8 18:53, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

I defy you to point to any "misinformation". As it happens, the truth is very nearly the opposite of what the template stated - but that's not my fault, is it? Why don't you block whomever wrote the grossly misleading nonsense about AFD not being a vote? Mirror Vax 19:00, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Image:Anthraxmailbox.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Anthraxmailbox.jpg, has been listed at Misplaced Pages:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Image tagging for Image:Turrican.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Turrican.gif. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Misplaced Pages's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

I have PRODed "Loudness War"

Loudness War

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Loudness War, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

About The Loudness war

Mirror Vax, are you the kind of person who goes to a movie theater to watch a show, and once the show is over, sneaks in to another one only to catch few minutes before the end? Why don't you read all the comments before assuming all that? I actually ended up contributing to this article, making it read more comprehensible (So far, no one has reverted anything). Nothing of relevance has been deleted either, and your name was not smeared with false accusations. The Loudness war is doing just fine and several users promised to make sure it remains free of nonsense. So, congratulations on your contribution to WP and come back, don't be a sour-puss :-).

Fair use rationale for Image:Beneathappleprodos.jpg

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.

For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 21:07, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Spy vs spy.gif

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Spy vs spy.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

Proposed deletion of Deleteme

The article Deleteme has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable topic. Unreferenced in over a year.

While all contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Stuartyeates (talk) 07:58, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of Deleteme for deletion

Non-free rationale for File:Pogo joe.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Pogo joe.gif. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Misplaced Pages is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:14, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Creative work

The article Creative work has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

just a dictionary definition, no indication the term is notable. Not even the copyright term (which is actually "work of authorship" in the US) -- if it is used in other jurisdictions, you can't tell from this article, which has no sources at all.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
