OpenVMS

Amir -

Thanks for stepping up to the plate on this one! So many of these articles seem to be written by and for computer professionals....

I am intersted in all of the things you mentioned: its capabilities in comparsion to other OS's, who uses it, WHY they use it, specifically why they use it in 2005... It would also be nice to have a historical timeline that does not just involve technological changes, but instead emphasizes the human interaction stuff above.

As for the concepts -

Operating System: A program that provides a framework for users, hardware, and other programs to "talk" to each other (and to other computers) and a computer's CPU, memory, etc.

Database: a set of computer files that store information in an organized way

Server: A computer that stores files and/or programs that are actually used by other computers

Storage: different kinds of physical materials (chips, drives, tapes, etc.) which hold lots and lots of 1's and 0's.

High Availability: I would guess that it means a computer system which doesn't crash much and can be maintained while it is still running, but i don't know.

Dual redundancy: You use two components instead of one, so the second one can take over immediately if the first one stops working.

Happy Wiki'ing!

Lithuanian illative

Hi.

Thanks for your question. The comment was mine indeed. I can help with grammar of Lithuanian, especially what concerns the nowadays language. That's why I revised few imprecisions in Illative case. The revisions are right with the possibility, that English usage sometimes may deceive me, and one will read something different than I wanted to say.

Now, the answer to the question: žemyn isn't the illative. -yn is a common suffix to make adverbs from different roots, what adverbs have meaning of direction. For example: aukštyn 'up', tolyn 'forward', 'along', pirmyn 'onward', 'forward'. These words share roots with aukštas 'high', toli 'far', pirmas 'the first'. The same way žemyn means down (downwards, downstairs) and shares the root with žemas 'low'. Without any doubt the word žemas is from the same semantic nest as žemė 'soil' 'ground' 'the earth'. žemė probably is a derivative from žemas, for it has the (feminine) ending ė, that is more typical for derivatives than a (feminine equivalent of the adverbial ending as). At least it seems this way, looking from diachronic point. The same time žemė is an old inheritance. Latvians have 'zeme', Russians 'zemlya', Poles 'ziemia' with the same meaning (although Slavic languages don't have vestiges of an adjective with this root). The difference between žemėn and žemyn could be explained with the next example:

Žemėn atvyko marsiečiai. Žmonės žiūrėjo, kaip jie leidžiasi žemyn.  
Martians arrived at the Earth. People watched, how they flew (literally dipped) downwards. 

žemėn could mean 'to the ground', too, which meaning is closer to žemyn, but isn't the same anyway. - I think it's sufficient. I can add, that the endings of the singular illative and the suffix -yn could have some closer semantic connection in the past, for it can be easily traced still now (the same -n at the end). There's no ending of the illative -yn.

I think, I could heard something about Dr. Lea Sawicki, but I don't recall exactly now. Our informational age gives too much information sometimes not to skip even what is necessary. --Linas Lituanus 10:36, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

WikiProject Jewish culture

Hi Amire80/Archive 2005, I was wondering whether you were interested in joining and developing a new WikiProject. While the more-established WikiProject Judaism focuses on relgious aspects of Judaism, this project intends to look at Jewish literature, music, theater, language and history, among other aspects of culture. If you are interested in helping to edit and review these articles, please join! jnothman ^talk 06:06, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Hebrewterm box

I think the {{Hebrewterm}} template is prone to clutter pages. I hope you don't mind I've listed it for deletion. I think the article intros will be just as informative if the Hebrew term is mentioned in the text flow rather than in a seperate box. JFW | T@lk 19:25, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

No problem. I think so too. I tried it a little and wasn't too enthuastic.--Amir E. Aharoni 20:00, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi Amir. It's been reworked - now in-text - and further rework is possible. Please reconsider: see WP:TFD and Template talk:Hebrewterm. ←Humus sapiens←ну? 06:55, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

I appreciate it, colleague. ←Humus sapiens←ну? 11:50, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Hebrew Alphabet

I have rewritten the articles on all the Hebrew letters here and before I replace the pages, your input would be appreciated. Feel free to comment on the talk page or edit the page directly. Thanks! Sputnikcccp 16:26, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

'Youth Against Fascism

Oh, you like Sonic Youth! What do you think their best album is? The Great Gavini ^{sonic mail}

Tough question! EVOL, i guess. It would be much easier to say which ones i like less - ExperimentalJSTAN*, Confusion is Sex, Dirty, the second half of Bad Moon Rising ... But on each of them there are tracks i love too - Youth Against Fascism is certainly one of my favs, as well as Starfield Road, Sugar Kane, She's in a Bad Moon, The World is Red, Death Valley 69 ...

I also love all their albums from Washing Machine until now. Washing Machine was the first one i got and i still love it completely; NYCG&F is one of their best and all the critics who hate it don't know jack.

Which one's your fav?--Amir E. Aharoni 20:51, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Mmmm...probably Goo... But it's really difficult to choose! - 17:07, 18 January 2006 (UTC) The Great Gavini ^{sonic mail}
