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.
