November 6
editOld movie from about 1940
editPlot was a sailboat in Indonesia delivering mail from port to port during Dutch times. The theme song in the movie was "In an old Dutch Garden by an old Dutch Mill" Glen Miller ~1937. Would like to get the DVD, or just the name of movie and actors....Dave w — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.120.111.242 (talk) 00:15, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
- According to IMDb (not an official reliable source), the only live-action movie in which this tune appears is Now, Voyager, starring starring Bette Davis, Paul Henreid, and Claude Rains. This isn't the movie you describe. Tevildo (talk) 01:02, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
- Could you narrow down "Dutch times" a bit? They were there for centuries. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:27, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Judge Dredd - Cadet Class Scene
editCan someone help me with this. I was watching Judge Dredd the other night on TV with some friends. Then one of them noticed that at the scene were Judge Dredd is teaching the cadets about the Judge armor, weapons & stuff, that one of the cadets in that scene looked like Clémence Poésy from The Tunnel (TV series). When I tried to find out, by searching Wikipedia & IMDB etc, there was nothing there that says that that is her. Is my friend wrong & that cadet (whoever she really was) was not Clémence Poésy ? 194.74.238.6 (talk) 13:10, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
- The Stallone film was released in 1995 when Clémence Poésy was just 12 years old, and the year before "Her father gave Poésy her first acting job when she was a child; then she had two lines at age 14" (though her article does go on to say she appear on stage as early as 1993).

So I'll take that to mean that my friend is wrong & that is not her ? 194.74.238.6 (talk) 14:28, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
Unless I play the guitar, I know nothing about musical theory, maybe because I am self-taught, I am trying to find out if that song is written in a 4/4 time signature and which tempo is it played in? Also what key the song is? I have played it several times with an acoustic guitar but I don't know if the key I am playing it in is the right one.
I am asking this because I am trying to expand the article for the song, so if there is any reference online you could provide, I'll be grateful. Thanks. Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 14:33, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
- The sheet music (first page visible here; I know you can't visit that page, Miss Bono, but I include the link for the benefit of others) indicates that the piece is indeed in 4/4 time. The tempo notation is just "Slowly, freely", and it's in the key of E major, though you're obviously free to play it in whatever key you're comfortable with. Deor (talk) 20:50, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
- Oh, thanks. Indeed, I play it in E major. I have an extra question, though: how many beats per minute? Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 20:56, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
- The sheet music doesn't specify a number of beats per minute. Indeed, I can't recall ever seeing sheet music for a pop song that does; that's mostly a classical-music thing. I'd assume that the best speed at which to play it is the speed that U2 uses in their recording. Deor (talk) 21:42, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you very much Deor. -- Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 14:46, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Internet radio applications from Windows store
editThere's lots of radio applications that can be downloaded for Windows phones from Windows store. Almost all of them can be downloaded for free, but is using of them completely free too, for example if you listen to a radio station from the other side of the world? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.127.204.90 (talk) 16:44, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
- Supposing it weren't free, how would they bill you? Unless you went through a registration process in which you have to give your credit card number. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 17:55, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
- Internet radio implies data is transmitted over the internet. The radio station might not bill you, but your phone service might. I suggest you only use internet radio when the wi-fi connection is available. Astronaut (talk) 20:26, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
- Maybe it depends on where you are. Our monthly internet provider's fee is the same amount, regardless of what the usage is or isn't. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 00:59, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
NCAA Football rules.
editIn US college football, how many players are allowed to dress for each games — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.227.48.109 (talk) 18:30, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
- I googled the subject, and this site[1] says a team can have up to 125 "active" players. The number they would actually use I'm sure would depend on how much money the school has available for its football program. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 01:04, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
