So I herd....
...You're from Ukraine? &mdash; DarK  19:47, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes. RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 20:20, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Me too! Which city d'you hail from? ^^ &mdash; DarK  08:09, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * ^_^ Sokal', L'viv Region. You? What's your name? I'm Halyna. RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 17:59, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm from Kherson(Herson, Cherson, whatever), dunno what region that is cuz I was 7 when we moved to Belgium :P My name is Slava. &mdash; DarK  19:25, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, near the Crimean Peninsula, it's the region's capital. The first spelling was the correct one - Херсон ( Герсон, Черсон ). :) Been there, very nice in summer, watermelons and peaches for sale on every corner. :P I left Ukraine when I was 15, and only been back for 9 months since then (7 years ago), but as you may have read on my page, there's a possibility I have to go back for a while before I can become a resident here. *sigh* RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 19:59, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm only 16. And I too still need to become an official resident here, as my mom is Ukrainian and she's simply married to a Belgian guy. We already did make a request, but it'll probably take an other few months, if not longer, until we get an official reply.... Sigh... All those officials.. Instead of speeding things up they just slow everything down and make our life even harder >.> &mdash; DarK  21:10, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I hear you. I'm still waiting on a reply for my case, almost a year now.  They have everything they could possibly want/need, but they sent me a notice saying they will get back to me in the next 6 months...  I didn't know that people could possibly need 6 MORE months to look through a complete application.  >_<  I hope things work out for you quickly.  :)  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 04:48, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, seeing your immigration rant, things do work out pretty good for me compared to you, don't worry about that. Just make sure that you get through this as well :) &mdash; DarK  09:54, 26 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Yay, someone who lives in Belgium too! And yeah, immigration stuff sucks (the entire bureacracy does, but still...) . I'm native though :P --[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]El_Nazgir 10:12, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Workload B
It's not your workload your suggestion is trying to reduce: you've implied twice that the work others have been doing so far is "too much effort" and "just a lot of work". You are discouraging other people's effort for no visible reason. That was exactly the same thing I was observing the last time, hence I referred to it in my edit summary; and it was intended to be that, a reference, not an insult (and I'm sorry if you took it that way), because I'm sure you are not intentionally assuming that discouraging role. -- ◄mendel► 00:24, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I never said I'm trying to reduce my workload, I guess it's in my nature to try to make repetitive processes easier, if possible, both for me and for others, especially considering that there may not be an end in sight for this one. This is the nature of an engineer.  I appreciate the work done by everyone on this wiki, but I didn't think there was any harm in trying to make things easier for them, but seems like that's not desired.  I also never implied that other people said anything about this being hard or w/e, nor was I trying to discourage anything, it was solely my opinion, and as such it was open to criticism of its content, I think that should have been clear.  Instead, you made a reference to a largely unrelated previous PA, without really discussing anything particular of what I said, only claiming that I implied things.  I also don't see how that was exactly the same thing [you were] observing the last time, not sure exactly how it is the same thing, but that doesn't matter.  I accept the apology this time, but I would really appreciate if you stop calling me that, be it a reference or not, it was uncalled for and insulting both times (3 if you count this header).  I let the first one slide because I was sick and largely not in the mood for discussing anything, and because of the ST incident, and the fact that someone decided to put together their idea for the tonics page in userspace first after talking to me (I see nothing wrong with developing an idea in userspace first, but with your defensive stance about it, I will stop discussing this with other users, and only do it for my contributions; and we happened to resolve this issue in a rather friendly manner, by the way, after a very brief 1-comment-long misunderstanding), but I really didn't expect being called names by you again, especially for something like this.  I would like to consider this discussion closed, as I don't see anything further left to discuss before it gets ugly.  I would also like to think that both of us will remember this in the future and attempt to avoid making it happen again.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 01:30, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * You missed almost all of my point. -- ◄mendel► 10:09, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Please express it clearly, without implications, obscure references, and PA next time. And discuss my comments, not my personality.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 17:54, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * "You are discouraging other people's effort for no visible reason. " -- ◄mendel► 20:56, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Still don't see how I'm personally discouraging anything, but alas. Aside from being called a bitch again for a simple suggestion expanding on another person's idea, and having implications and assumptions assigned to me that may or may not have been there, a comment along the lines "On this wiki we strive to document every smallest detail of the game, and so far our editors have largely succeeded at this enormous task.  Removing the individual quest articles and consolidating them to a single list goes against this mission." would have been more than adequate to reply to that.

internet.ua
263 million hits, so there must be some kind of infrastructure? The final(?) installment of your saga sounds right out of Kafka. :-( Get over asap so you get two summers in your 15 months instead of two winters, is my suggestion... -- ◄mendel► 06:17, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree, especially with the gas prices as they are there now... We're working on it.  Got a new laptop today to take with me as a DTR.  And yes, there is an infrastructure, but it's very.. underdeveloped, and to most people internet is still dark woods never ventured.  I'll find out soon enough what speeds are available, once my dad gets back from Moscow, I'll ask him to see what's out there.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 06:51, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, and it's not quite final. Final will be when I get my Naturalization certificate. ;) RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 06:53, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, and what do you think? 250 fps on GW peak, about 120 fps avg with highest settings seems quite sexy to me compared to like 20-30 on my desktop. ^_^ RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 06:58, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Sexiness confirmed. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 07:06, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * ^ Def nice for a laptop ;o Watch out you don't get burnt by it. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  17:43, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Does it have an aluminum keyboard? My guildie got a laptop and thought "fans are useless... I don't need one," so whenever it overheated his aluminum keyboard literally burnt his fingers. Or did you mean some other kind of burn? --Macros 19:19, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It's a DTR with plastic keys, so it's not meant for my lap. Gets a little warm, but that's about it, I just make sure to not put it on anything fuzzy to block the airflow, like with any other laptop out there.  And apparently the newer NVIDIAs are much better with heat management, unlike the 8600s that kept breaking GW for people.  Aluminum keyboard... lol, people are crazy.  And Viper, if you meant another type of "burn," you better say it now, while I can still return it...  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 19:26, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * NVIDIA...huh! *spits* Have I ever told you about the time my laptop overheated and died even with all the vents clean and unobstructed? I hate this machine so much. :(
 * On another note, sad to hear how things ended up... I guess I didn't expect much better from the government, new administration or not. US may be the biggest magnet for immigration, but that doesn't mean it treats them well...anyway, we'll take good care of the Armor section even if you can't. I've got some I could have added for a long time but I've been holding back; I think now would be an opportunate time. Best of luck :) Entropy [[Image:Entropy Sig 2.jpg]] (C) 00:13, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Lol... What Nvidia was it?  I've read bad things about 84-8600s, but supposedly it's all better now.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 03:46, 8 May 2009 (UTC)


 * It's better. In desktops :> Prog always gets told he should upgrade his videocard driver (which is the laptop nVidia driver), however, there's no more recent version. Sucks. Also, I meant "burn" as in, whenever you put it on your lap (it's a laptop for a reason huh), you'll hurt yourself. A mate of mine has a laptop which can cook an egg . --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  14:11, 8 May 2009 (UTC)


 * NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M. The last time I "upgraded" the drivers, it made GW crash in ~5 minutes instead of some hours. :] Also: I find it silly that laptops were never meant to be put on your lap. I was reading the manual yesterday and it says never to let it touch any part of your body for an extended period of time or rest it on a soft and flexible surface, especially as it might block the exhaust ports...so whoever coined the term "laptop" is a marketing genius. Entropy [[Image:Entropy Sig 2.jpg]] (C) 15:50, 8 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I think when they first came out, it was possible to have them on the lap, so they got coined "lap" versus "desk" top. Now they're technically "notebook" computers. :P It's like the duck tape story.  But yeah, this thing runs very quiet and cool, until I run GW with max settings for 8 hours straight... ^_^ But it's still not too bad, even after than kind of time it's only warm, not really hot, and it's not all that loud, I don't notice the fans unless I listen for them.  I like it so far.  I just hope it withstands my GW abuse.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 20:15, 8 May 2009 (UTC)


 * If my city machine can withstand ~24 hours of straight GW playing (no breaks!), then your shiny new "notebook" should be able to also. :> btw, it's "duct tape" Entropy [[Image:Entropy Sig 2.jpg]] (C) 22:01, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * In Great BritainLand, there is a product called "duck tape" linky Random Time  22:16, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * In USA, there is "Duck Brand Tape" too. But the original stuff, with the fibers n stuff embedded, is known as "duct tape" because it was meant to be used for repairing ducts. (which, incidentally, it does not a good job of, or so they say) Entropy [[Image:Entropy Sig 2.jpg]] (C) 22:18, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
