It's the last little bits that take the time loading...

Roberto Silva: I am the 5th ...

Pedro Martínez: that makes 4 of us

Bernice: Indeed. Over a minute to load a page.... if it loads at all...

Bernice: Mine is slow too but I thought it might be because I have too many browser windows open.....multi-tasking again

is anyone else having problems moving? the site is so slow for me. takes forever to load a page :(

Pason69: I am sure that both AlertPay and MoneyBookers accept MasterCard.

Probably asked before, but... Is it not possible to pay with MasterCard? I only find VISA as an option. If MC is ok, can someone point me to the right place!

Thank you both....and how long have I been here

Bernice: Yes, I remember I was hopeless the first time I made that mistake...
Go into the deleted message and in the upper right-corner is a button called "restore" use it

Bernice: open the message, there is a Restore-button

is there any way I can get a message from the trash box back into the in box?

Fencer: Or if you do not use any Add-ons, use Prism (which is also an Add-on as well as an application made my Mozilla)

It is not a browser, and it is so fast if you are just wanting to play all your games

I tried to start my Firefox 3.5 in a safe mode (all add-ons were disabled) yesterday, in order to test if the mentioned performance problem (related to the browser, not BrainKing) would happen again. Now, after more than 24 hours, everything is still very fast and Firefox does not consume any system resources when it is idle (compared to 50% before).

Well, that means that it must be one (or more) of Firefox add-ons that causes the mysterious CPU load. The only problem is that I use about 15-20 of them, so it can take some time to find out the source. But I will try.

Anyway, if you still have problems to use BrainKing with Firefox 3.5, either try to start it in a safe mode or use another good browser (Google Chrome, for instance).

Czuch: ok..so I wasn't very convincing there, was I? Oh well...it was somewhat of a public apology.

I don't know...I'm not sure( *thanks V*)

Tuesday. I'm not really good..but glad I have at least one of you fooled

Are you really talking about "judge" Judy here? What is her nickname? I'd like to invite her to a game of Scrambled Eggs.

"GERRY": I don't think so, just she follows the law and deals with events quickly. I wonder why in many respects such simple matters can take ages in normal courts.. I guess da law system workers like making a buck!!

I guess a person has to be wrong once in a while to know when they are right!

(V): ahhh come on she is a ruler it's her way or it's the highway you take LMAO:))) you must get a different show then we get here LOL:)))

Czuch: I must admit... she is a great common sense icon.

(V): ....ahhh, now I know where your great wisdom comes from

Czuch: Judge Judy has a solution she tells those who appear on her prog. 3 words... "I don't know" or "I'm not sure"

baddessi: But when I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong. I was wrong I guess


really though? When I am wrong, I say I am wrong, except when I say I guess I was wrong

Bwild: yeah, my bad! But when I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong. I was wrong I guess

baddessi: shame on you!
lol

That person would be me. My apologies for taking it the wrong way. I was wrong.

Pedro Martínez: My question did not imply anything negative.  It was simply a question to see if I was reading your post correctly.  The negativity was implied by a person posting after me.

NOT a floosie: If you didn't mean to imply any negative connotations by your "poking fun," then yes, you were taking it correctly.

Pedro Martínez: Thanks, that was the way I took your first post.  I wanted to make sure I was taking it correctly.

NOT a floosie: Well, I think I can answer "Yes" to that question. Hanaslang was made by members of the Haná people (I used to be one of them, but opted not to continue working on it, as I had originally thought BK.hh would be just a translation of BrainKing into the Haná dialect), in part to make fun of themselves indeed. They did a very good job in my opinion and it sometimes really is a blast reading the Hanaslang. :)

NOT a floosie: The answer is no. It cherishes Hanaslang speaking, just like the alternative localisation Esperanto cherishes esperanto speaking people.

NOT a floosie: By Pedro's post I would say it was just a first go at creating an alternative language to that of czech and english. Being it a known language to Fencer, I would guess that such a conversion was easy even though not needed.

baddessi: I simply asked a question.

NOT a floosie: I don't think it was meant that way. But if you are looking for something negative, then I guess that is what you see

Pedro Martínez:Thanks, PM!

MrWCF: Hanaslang is based on several dialects spoken in the eastern half of the Czech Republic, in particular on the one spoken in the region of Haná - hence the name. More than a serious localization, the purpose and goal of the Hanaslang version of BK was creating somewhat funny alternative to the original Czech version. :)

I notice that one of the supported languages on BrainKing is Hanaslang.  Can anyone tell me more about this language?

Gouwe gozer: That must be easy. You scare aliens below the waterline

Czuch: There are some other reasons too We prefer to just let you know they excist but not to explain, we prefer everyone stay in their own country

AbigailII & Czuch: lol .. i wish we had :)

the weekend takes away 2 days .. i usually play within 1 day (and most of the times much faster) but i prefer to have 2 days left per move when i log out ... so if the weekend doesnt count then i need 4 days per move when i leave on friday

monday is usually a busy day at work so i make less moves then

AbigailII: I was wondering the same thing!

Maybe thats why Netherlands is one of the highest ranked places to live in the world, 3 day weekends

Hrqls: If you play games with a time control of 3 days or more, you don't need weekends.

aaru: Yes, though it has been there for a while now.
It allows you to see all those who sit at the top of the ratings list with a BKR of 2500+ despite the fact they have only played and won 4 games against low rated BKR players!

Wow, this new option in rankings or I'm blind?

AbigailII: personally i do need the weekend days ... most of my playing i do from work (mostly in my breaks :)) .. in the weekends i will be busy and might not be able to come online

during the working days (mon till fri) i might be a fast player, but in the weekends i am quite slow

then again i dont mind slow games .. i just would miss it to be able to join tournaments with 3 days per move .. without weekend days thats not possible for me

Fencer: i agree, the simpler the system the better

adjustable weekenddays give me some extra vacation days per year (by setting them the most profitable when i leave) .. although i agree thats a bit of an abuse of the weekend days :)

the problem i had today though is that i didnt change anything in the settings (neither calendar or any other) .. i just viewed them to see if i could set my weekend back to sat & sun again .. i didnt change anything .. but now most of my games will try to timeout while i am asleep (i will use an extra vacation day to prevent that so i wont worry :))

i dont know what other could have caused it than me viewing the calendar settings

another funny thing is that every hour (i think) each game which was in the negative became 2 days less negative .. so i started at -16 days .. an hour later some were -14 .. and hour later some were -12 .. and now most are within 1 day or even positive

sat & sun for the weekend is best for me .. but thats just me personally of course

Fencer: Even simpler would be to get rid of weekends. Which, IMO, are a bit silly - if you need them you can always pick a time pace that allows not playing in weekends. But weekends prevent you from picking a time pace that forces "fast games" -- with weekends, you cannot play a game where you have to move at least once a day; it becomes 5 times a week. (Currently, you can pick a time pace that says "no vacation days, no weekends" and "no vacation, but weekends", but "no weekends, allow vacation" isn't available. The latter would have been my pick).
