Very Offtopic: :p

I never understood why the US uses such an odd way to write down dates.

They use month-day-year. 12th of april is "4/12/09". (Which would be the 4th of december in the rest of the world)

It's so unlogical, it's the same as counting to 3 like this: "2-1-3".

On the other hand, when it's 30 minutes and 20 seconds past noon, it isn't 30:12:20, which it should be according to the date logic.

Thankfully they write their time in a normal way, eg. 12:30:20

Those funny Americans :p

/offtopic

Aaaanyway, I love those new localised pictures, by the way, they are beautiful, if they're from a fake leak or not, the pics are nice :)

I'll be keeping an eye out for the English version, I'm interested if that has a proper digisign.

They write it how they would say it. Today for example Americans would say April 13th where as the rest of the English speaking world (proper English at that) say 13th of April. I totally agree with you. It totally defies all logic.

this is method originaly from viper for russian pack. However instalation is bit complicated yes, specialy since i "fixed" instructions couple of times, because i was rushing to much.

Also about this "homebrewed" windows, seems wierd to use it, ill still wait for "real" english till evening and then decide. if ill actualy use this or not :)

What's the excitement about!! Come on, it's just a few builds away from 7077 (technically speaking), I doubt there's any changes right? If there are, I bet it's no big deal. People need to stop making a mountain out of a molehill and being plain vain. Why waste your time and energy to download 2-3GB again and with the language pack just for a couple bug fixes? Oh well... vanity vanity :wacko:

That being said... SoLoR.. pls make sure you announce your torrent so I can start downloading :p

Agreed on all three points. Though a bit of clarification, "Hieroglyphs are ideograms (!= alphabet) used by ancient Egyptians". This is 100% true. Though they spoke Arabic primarily and earlier, Aramaic. Which was my point. I just didn't structure my response properly, I suppose.

Nope, they spoke Coptic earlier, and it is still used in Church services to this day (Coptic Christians form about 15% of the population of Egypt): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coptic_language

Please do not spread undocumented misinformation. Thanks.

...Please do not spread undocumented misinformation. Thanks.

Responded via PM as there is no need to carry on a discussion on languages in ancient Egypt on this thread.

It's bad enough the other thread became a Jesus debate.

ON TOPIC:

With RC pretty damn close, I've decided to wait it out. 7077 is running quick and smooth for me. Waiting for

the official public RC seems the best thing to do.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Jaybonaut · Posted

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
