    general media PCs vs. Macs

    Marelin replied to ThePoniMan's topic in Media Discussion

    PC, if you want a good price-performance ratio. Mac, if you value design more. I always got a electric shock during Christmas time from my aluminium clad mac keyboard I had to use at work.

    The overuse of the word hate for emotions, situations which are not even close to it. That's what I wanted to post too. I empathize with you.

    Night time. Less to no people around, since most of them are asleep. One knows what kind of people are out there in the middle of the night. They are either decent people like me with insomnia who are enjoying their night stroll or sereal killers. Unless its the damned weekend. Then I have to deal with everyone even at night. And its more comfortable at night. During the day I have to deal with ridiculous things like the sun, birds and work. The dark is like warm black oil while the hours with sunlight are like white, cold tiles of a bathroom wall.

    I'd like to be a Picea abies. A long lifespan while decent looking. (if I can hide from IKEA) Or that you are doomed to live as a miniature tree with every trying growth met with human love for nature and subtle aesthetics while stopping you from growing altogether with their scissors and chemicals. Caged for eternity. Especially considering that a bonsai can live for more than 100 years.

    I got two individuals I despise and need at the same time. My parents. They did a lot of things. The reason why I still need them is, because I always wanted a normal family. That's why I cling to the tiniest bits of family-moments. I think nowadays the word "hate" is used way too lightly. Hatred is the most extreme dislike. Its the strongest form of aversion and disdain we can possibly have against individuals or things. It describes not only intense negative emotions towards something, but the wish to harm and to destroy.

    I always write a diary while backpacking (trekking). Reading them at home after some months have passed, is the best way to learn and understand bit more about myself. Especially after a difficult one.

    I have been banned from quite a lot of counterstrike public servers over the past 12 years. Played a bit on semi-professional level. Now I use my Knowledge and "Skill" for the greater good as a head admin for a well known website from my country. In counterstrike, getting banned is more a compliment than anything else.

    I'm never bored. There is always something that needs to be done. I can't understand how some people even manage to be bored at work.

    Well, I'm only 8 years apart from your age. In realtime that is a huge chunk of time apart. Not really. At a young age, you like to hear that. But if you get older and older, you don't want to look even more older than you already are.

    Yes I did. It's about 19 years ago. Yes I lived without any internet my whole childhood, because it was way too expensive and there was no flatrate. You had to pay for the minutes and hours you were online and it wasn't that common in most housholds yet. Cold War and german bureaucracy. Yeah, my parents had one of those, but the dials were hidden away quite good. Well, it's something else. All those events are part of my life. I lived at that very moment those things happened. I was one of many germans at the "berliner Mauer" while and after it had been taken apart. Bill will always be my intern jackass. I saw Bush win the election. I didn't know what would happen after that. Hussein.. well, both gulf wars. I even saw how the ultimatum ran out and the first bombs were droppt at 3.33 a.m. my local time. And 9/11 - After the first tower had been hit we all got the breaking news of it. We first thought of it as an accident, but after the second tower was hit we really got a bad feeling. Yes, I myself don't carry one. If I'm at work, I don't want to get disturbed. The same when I'm out. I was able to live without one for a long time. Only my parents forced me to carry one when I was about 12. Yes, we even had one of those really old PCs for these things. They were way bigger than a DVD. One of my first games was on 76 3.5 inch disks. THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL INSTALLING A GAME! And always remember, never turn the switch up or you might override your data on mistake! About 3 months. Bunny. Sailor Moon. OF COURSE! Nope, they're still eye candy.

    The reason is, that I already went through a lot since my first memory. If I surrender now, all my struggle, all my energy I used in order to keep on living through my own hell would have been for nought. If I die for any other reason than taking my own life, so be it. At least I tried to stay alive - I didn't give up till the very end. And the other reason is, despite my 26 years I didn't actually see and experience everything there is on this planet. That's why, until my time has come I'll keep on collecting experience and knowledge.

    Yes, our anthem had been changed quite often between 1949 and 1954. Some melodies from Schiller and Beethoven had been used, but later our Deutschlandlied was put back as our anthem. Now we only sing the third stanza. "Einigkeit Recht und Freiheit". "Deutschland über alles" is part of the first stanza and was misinterpreted and misused by the biggest philistines back in our darkest days. "Deutschland über alles" was interpreted as "Germany is above all else. We are better than every other country." but in reallity it described our unification since the fall of the holy roman empire and overcoming our hardships as a whole. The history of our anthem describes our country's own history quite well. Unification and prosperity. Devoured by evil and Downfall. Rise from the ashes and forever tainted. Now we may sing the whole anthem again, but if one, as a german, starts singing the first stanza, he is accused of being a neo-nazi.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOoST8MJvWE Third stanza of "Das Lied der Deutschen" - "The Song of the Germans" German Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit Für das deutsche Vaterland! Danach lasst uns alle streben Brüderlich mit Herz und Hand! Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit Sind des Glückes Unterpfand; Blüh' im Glanze dieses Glückes, Blühe, deutsches Vaterland! english Unity and justice and freedom For the German fatherland! For these let us all strive Brotherly with heart and hand! Unity and justice and freedom Are the pledge of fortune; Flourish in this fortune's blessing, Flourish, German fatherland! The first two stanzas have been defiled, like many other things too, and may never be seen in its original light ever again.

    Development and change are important. Sure, its always sad to see a community shrink and eventually die, but the important part is, that those who enjoyed it and were a part of it in general, cherish the memories and the time they spent there. Eventually we all are going our own ways. The artists, the talkative people, those in need of advice, the gamers, the hardworking bros, trolls and all the other people posting here still share a time where they were together and shared a common liking or hating towards one sole thing. Even if all the sites shut down, we still share the memories and are bound together through it. We walk under the same sky and on the same earth. We just happen to live a bit far away from one another.

    No at both of them. It doesn't matter if they forget it or not. Even I forget my own birthday. Its just a forced way for showing loyalty. True friendship, and bonds in general, are tested and established in everyday life, not just at some fixed and forced specific moment in time once a year.

    First internet safety rule is to never give any part of your identity to anyone. I follow it out of common sense like everybody else should, but sadly... How about we take it to a new level. What about real fotos?

    It's as hard to keep living for someone's sake as to die for someone. Most people use those kind of phrases as a way to demonstrate how serious they are, but reality looks a bit different if they have to keep their said words. It's the same with the word hate. Hate is the ultimate form of negative feelings towards a person, but it's the most used word for describing their discontent about another person they really don't like. I, for myself, don't really know if I'd be able to die for someone. I haven't found a person yet, which I could possibly cherish for the same value as my own life.

    SAILOR MOON! MILA SUPERSTAR! Back in the 90's. What am I saying now, you were looking for girly stuff.

    Like I said before, gonna meet you in Germany. I hope you didn't forget it. (Gathering required amount of characters for this post)

    The Intrawebz deliver. But! Be carefull with whatever is being contributed on the internet! It's not always clean! Be sceptical! That's why I'd appreciate it, if someone could verify, that there's nothing bad hidden in there. Just a general warning.

    I would investigate the paranormal with the ghost adventures crew. Call Aaron baldy on every evp session and scare the heck out of him.

    Natürlich helfe ich gern. Nur werde ich meist am Wochenende erst Zeit haben, da in zwei Wochen die Abendschule wieder los geht und ich unter der Woche absolut keine Zeit habe. Arbeit, Abendschule, ehrenamtliche Arbeit, Hobbies... und dann noch einige Projekte an denen ich nur am Wochenende arbeiten kann. <.< Oh und es ist "kann ich mit deiner Hilfe in der Zukunft rechnen" Kann ich mit dir rechnen. Kann ich auf dich zählen. Und wie es auch im Englischen ist, lässt man die Artikel teils weg. "Hoffentlich kann ich mit deiner Hilfe in Zukunft rechnen."

    You don't need to go that far for touhou, since there are translation patches. I could get my folders of touhou 6, 7 and 8 up for now, if someone is interested. Got 9+ on my other hard drive which is "currently unavailable".

    Sure, that the world is going to end some day is certain. Asteroids, radiation hazard, death of our sun for example. What matters is when it is going to happen and if we are still around.

    Well, it really is interesting. I like language in general. I was taught english, french and spanish back in my school days. Too bad I discovered my fable for language many years after I had graduaded. At that time I already had forgotten how to speak french and spanish, since I didn't had to use them at all. It really is fascinating to speak with someone about one's nativ language. Ein paar kleine Fehler sind noch da, aber nicht so schlimm wie der Durchschnitt unserer und der jüngeren Generation. :> Neben der Grammatik allgemein, wirst du wohl auch sehr viel Mühe mit der Rechtschreibung gehabt haben oder? Als du damals nach Deutschland gekommen bist, waren wir ja gerade wieder dabei unsere Rechtschreibreform auf den Kopf zu stellen. So kamen wir von der alten Rechtschreibung nur Neuen und dann wieder zur alten neuen Rechtschreibung.. Und wie sieht es umgangssprachlichen Regionen wie dem Internet aus? "Kannste damit wat anfangen?" als ich es versucht habe. Leider musste ich in mein Heimatland zurückkehren ... gewohnt und ich habe dort studiert. Keine Sorge, ich erkenne sofort, dass es ein Wechselfehler ist, der durch das hin und her zwischen Deutsch und Englisch passiert ist. Kommt bei mir auch gern vor. :> Absolut. Sagen wir ja gern. :> Kann aber auch teils als etwas gehässig empfunden werden. Meist, wenn man sich gegenseitig nicht ab kann.
