What a pity  How can you have them improved? Replacement surgery? They aren't that bad, but the jump starts and harsh stops are the problem. I'm tall and more the heavy weighted type of guy (even when fully trained). So my knees are my weak point for that kind of sport. No. The last time I tried was some five years ago. I remebered it well and enjoyed it. In slow motion. Double. It was with an organisation called 'Senior Exercise', so we were in the same age bracket. The too old age. However, I acquired a 'golf elbow' that took me 2 months with a support bandage to get over .... they make those handgrips far too slim in my opion. What do you think? Can't believe that you put yourself in the too old age, dear mermaid. But one sign of getting old is talking about all diseases, disablements a.s.o. We should quit talking about the downside and start talking about the bright side. What do you think? Wow! I'm so impressed. Is this a special talent you have? You'll know all about min of meer and ezelsbruggetje then. What motivates you to go on board in all these languages? If you would ask my wife she would agree to the question if I'm talented in learning languages. To be honest I don't know if I'm talented or not. My score in school was ok but not good. But I had always fun (and still have) learning something new. Keeps my brain trained. And it is satisfying when you can talk to other people in their native language during vacation or in social media. I have friends from different countries all over the world. So I started two years ago to refresh the languages I've already learned (except latin) and started new ones. I'm doing small lessons every day. I’m afraid I guessed him a bit older than he really is, and that could be where the decision tips the wrong way … He seems to be a little sensitive about his age worried and I may have offended him .... Yes, you've guessed me a little bit older than I really am. But don't worry about that or that you may have offended me. You have not by the way. How should you know. I am absolutely fine and have no problems with my age. Hey, young man! What should I say? Hahaha, you're too kind, my dear mermaid.  |

They aren't that bad, but the jump starts and harsh stops are the problem. Which kind of sport do you do now since your knees are not for jumping around?Can't believe that you put yourself in the too old age, dear mermaid. Thank you. I’m really flattered. You have checked my Forum Profile, haven’t you?  Talking about Forum Profile: It would be nice if you could update yours so we all can see you are from Germany, please <it’s a pet peeve of mine  >. I always thought of you as American with a German last name because of the way you spell ’Eric’. Flattering earns you some instant points on your ’Rosie account’ should you ever decide to go Base Camping with us   Did I mention that we begin a trek af team Kraland on May 12?But one sign of getting old is talking about all diseases, disablements a.s.o. We should quit talking about the downside and start talking about the bright side. What do you think? You’re right. - says she who has filled page after page here with health related issues.  There are so many things to enjoy in life no matter your age – well, I can only talk for the experience life has given me so far … I just returned from a walk through a forest with all those smashing green colours. Aren't they especially pretty this year? You know beech trees. I always thought Danish beeches were the prettiest in the world – until all of a sudden I parked next to a forest of German beeches … and let my gaze travel up, up, up   Never saw such majestic ones beforeBut I had always fun (and still have) learning something new. Keeps my brain trained. Exactly my thoughts. My next project is to find out how to delete a temporary backup file on my phone that seems to have eaten all of the interior storage space  And it is satisfying when you can talk to other people in their native language during vacation or in social media. I have friends from different countries all over the world. How did you get them? Do you travel a lot?Again I agree. My German is haltering. I stutter when I speak German. I try my best. And do you know what? The Germans are so happy that I try my best, that they understand me no matter how many grammatical mistakes I make … I’m so grateful. My German teacher says: ’You will be understood’ – and he’s right. Germans are very tolerant. adriverhoef has done his best to teach me Dutch. It doesn't go all that well. How is your Dutch? Latin: I regret I skipped that in school I am absolutely fine and have no problems with my age. That’s how it should be. I’m glad you’re not offended |

Good Morning Base Campers!
Kraland II trek  this badge could be yours Tomorrow the Kraland II trek will start – at the same time as Kraland – IX Challenge. The timing is very good. This committed team just passed 300 years nudged forward by Saphir12 and her co-captain stefada. They deserve to win their own challenge, but at the same time we can boost their standing in several other challenges – while we risk to hurt SeriousCrunchers’ standings. Sorry, sujo1 Well, you cannot win them all - for acpartsman Our line-up is impressive: BladeD is in the affirmative – and he’s home Urden lives there and will of course be dealt a badge Fossaw will join when he returns from Langeland Doneske will join when he returns from foreign lands yodap@BC also roams in foreign lands and promised; for those two Base Campers we invented ’the laggard badge’ little mermaid is already there Acpartsman is hoped to blast in at the beginning just to let them know whom Kraland is  davwhite5xq7 usually goes where acpartsman goes TLD and tanner2 are hoped to come as well mike047 are you still tired - you cannot do anything about your age  Anyone else? Eric_Kaiser are you tempted? PecosRiverM it's been a long, long time deltavee it's been an even longer time. A long time. A long one. A very long time. Incredibly long. What a long time has it been. acpartsman would like to say hello to you. Too. Just come as you are and as if we played Hexagame yesterday. You know the more time pass the higher the hurdle grows I think we’ll have a very strong crew in the making.  Please check in with Team Kraland and please register here when you arrive. Team Kraland has 635 members, and that’s a lot to sift through to find you China, Decrypthon, UK, Australia ... Here we come - we come with peace and good intentions  |

Fossaw,
Joyeux anniversaire ! Je ne développerais pas ici, que c'est pas vraiment le lieu, mais je suis assez d'accord avec toi, qu'il ne faut pas donner trop de crédit aux benchmark & Co. Surtout que suivant comment on programme, on a déjà pas les même résultats. ---------- Happy Birthday ! I would not elaborate here, that this is not really the place, but I quite agree with you, that we should not give too much credit to benchmarks & Co. Especially that following how we program, we already have not the same results. Eric_Kaiser, Désolé, mais tout ce que j'ai retenu de mes cours d'Allemand c'est : ---------- Sorry, but all that I learned from my German classes is: Guten Tag / Bonjour / Good Morning Auf Wiedersehen / Aurevoir / See you later Danke / Merci /Thanks Ich verstehe nicht / Je ne comprend pas / I don't understand Ich spreche nicht Deutsch / Je ne parle pas Allemand / I don't speak German Ich möchte ein bier bite / Je voudrais une bière s'il vous plait / I would like a beer please Les Français et les langues étrangères ... ---------- French and foreign languages  Little Mermaid, Je vais essayer de t'expliquer ce dont Fossaw parlait concernant l'informatique et les puissances de calculs annoncées. Mais je ne suis pas sûr d'y arriver. Je prend pour exemple un classique en programmation, la fonction mathématique : factorielle. La formule étant : !n = 1*2*3....*n . Il y a deux façons de la programmer : La manière séquentielle : On écrit une boucle qui dit qu'il faut multiplier la variable par l'entier suivant, jusqu'à ce que cet entier soir égal à n. La manière récursive : On dit que !n est égal à !(n-1)*n avec !1=1. Le programme va alors calculer toutes les factorielles jusqu'à !1, pour revenir à celle demandée. En récursif, le code va être plus propre (cours et clair), et je passe les détails techniques, normalement plus rapide. Pourquoi j'ai parlé du séquentiel alors ? Parce que le récursif est très gourmand en ressources, quand en séquentiel on a juste besoin d'une variable, d'une constante et d'une boucle. On n'y fait plus trop attention, avec les PCs actuels (la preuve on crunch), mais quand j'étais à l'IUT (les ordinateurs n'étaient pas les même), on avait fait le test en cours. En récursif, ils plantaient (Memory Overflow) à partir de !10 , alors qu'en séquentiel ils arrivaient à faire le calcul jusqu'à plus de !100. On voit donc, que sur une même machine, la façon dont va être codée une simple fonction mathématique, change beaucoup de choses. Je te laisse imaginer toutes les fonctions mathématiques et algorithmes utilisés par les logiciels de tes machines. Partant de là, parler de la puissance annoncée d'une machine n'est pas vraiment significatif. Voila, j'espère t'avoir aider à comprendre, que je ne saurais pas expliquer mieux. ---------- I will try to explain to you what Fossaw was talking about computing and the announced computing power. But I'm not sure how to get there. I take for example a classic in programming, the mathematical function: factorial. The formula being : !n = 1 * 2 * 3 .... * n. There are two ways to program it: The sequential way: One writes a loop which says that it is necessary to multiply the variable by the following integer, until this whole evening equal to n. The recursive way: We say that !n is equal to !(n-1) * n with! 1 = 1. The program will then calculate all factorials up to! 1, to return to that requested. In recursive, the code will be cleaner (clear and clear  ), and I pass the technical details, normally faster. Why did I talk about the sequential then? Because the recursive is very resource intensive, when sequentially we just need a variable, a constant and a loop.We do not pay much attention, with the current PCs (the evidence we crunch), but when I was at the Technological University (computers were not the same), we had the test in lesson. Recursively, they crashed (Memory Overflow) from !10, while sequentially they were able to calculate up to more than !100. So we see that on the same machine, the way that is going to be coded a simple mathematical function, changes a lot of things. I let you imagine all the mathematical functions and algorithms used by the software of your machines. Starting from there, talking about the announced power of a machine is not really significant. Here, I hope I have helped you understand, that I can not explain better. |

stefada, I think your explanation is very interesting
– I almost understood some of it in spite of my sugar cold brain. You see, I had to reset my Sony called Saphir12-Nathalie to its factory settings. The culprit I understand was the Android/Sony backup software. As I read the Sony forum – which is in a very foreign language I deduct that a file is made in the internal storage of the phone before it is shipped to an online account or an SD-card. I don’t know how much storage is needed, but I discovered that the backup program ran for hours and was stuck at 50%. I thought it was because my SD-card was damaged in the water - I dropped the phone in water – it should be waterproof – I’m a mermaid after all It got a funny name after that swim. I bought a new SD-card and backed up. And backed up. All of a sudden I was completely out of internal storage. At the time I didn’t know about the backup technique. Suddenly, I could at best download two WUs, and the phone told me I could not update apps because I was out of storage. OK, I tried to find those incomplete files. No luck. So I had to reset to factory setting. It is time consuming and brain draining! I could have cried. I’m happy to have a list of my apps which makes is easy to reestablish. But, boy, it’s hard on you. And I couldn't get BOINC to work. Tried four times. Suddenly I found the handle that needed to be turned - then it worked. Phew! What do you think about a software that needs so much storage? Is that a smart thing, stefada?  stefada, je pense que votre explication est très intéressante - J'en ai presque compris malgré mon cerveau glacé. Vous voyez, j'ai dû réinitialiser mon Sony appelé Saphir12-Nathalie à ses réglages d'usine. Le coupable que je comprends était le logiciel de sauvegarde Android/Sony. En lisant le forum Sony - qui est dans une langue très étrangère je déduis qu'un fichier est fait dans le stockage interne du téléphone avant qu'il ne soit expédié sur un compte en ligne ou sur une carte SD. Je ne sais pas combien de stockage est nécessaire, mais j'ai découvert que le programme de sauvegarde fonctionnait pendant des heures et était bloqué à 50%. Je pensais que c'était parce que ma carte SD était endommagée dans l'eau - J'ai laissé tomber le téléphone dans l'eau - il devrait être étanche - je suis une sirène après tout Il a eu un drôle de nom après cette baignade. J'ai acheté une nouvelle carte SD et sauvegardé. Et sauvegardé. Tout à coup, j'étais complètement à court de stockage interne. À l'époque je ne connaissais pas la technique de sauvegarde. Soudainement, je pouvais au mieux télécharger deux WU, et le téléphone m'a dit que je ne pouvais pas mettre à jour les applications parce que je n'avais plus d'espace de stockage. Bon, j'ai essayé de trouver ces fichiers incomplets. Pas de chance. J'ai donc dû réinitialiser le réglage d'usine. Cela prend du temps et des cerveaux! J'aurais pu pleurer. Je suis heureux d'avoir une liste de mes applications qui rend facile à rétablir. Mais, vraiment, c'est dur pour toi. Et je ne pouvais pas faire fonctionner BOINC. J'ai essayé quatre fois. Soudain, j'ai trouvé la poignée qui devait être tournée - alors ça a marché. Phew! Que penses-tu d'un logiciel qui a tant besoin de stockage? Est-ce une chose intelligente, stefada? |

BladeD,
Bienvenue pour ce trek ! J'espère que pour une fois, grâce à l'aide du Base Camp, on va gagner un défi. (Enfin, surtout, qu'on fasse encore mieux que les autres fois, mais faut viser premier) ---------- Welcome for this trek! I hope for once, thanks to the help of Base Camp, we will win a challenge. (Well, above all, we do better than the other times, but must aim first)  Acpartsman, Ravis que tu viennes aussi ! Je vais encore être jaloux de ta puissance de calcul (effective), mais on va leur montrer qui s'est la Team Kraland ! (des gens gentils, avec un fou qui veut recruter la planète entière) ---------- Delighted that you come too! I'm still going to be jealous of your (effective) computing power, but we'll show them who Team Kraland is! (nice people, with a madman who wants to recruit the entire planet) * stefada fait une danse bizarre, il appelle ça du vaudou breton (je vous rassure, ça n'existe pas, c'est de la blague) : ô deltavee, toi qui a participé au 1er trek dans la Team Kraland (même si c'était qu'un jour, WOW !) ... Entends tes amis cruncheurs qui t'appellent, et rejoins nous ! ---------- * stefada does a weird dance, he calls it voodoo breton (I assure you, it does not exist, it's a joke): O deltavee, you who participated in the first trek in Team Kraland (even if it was a day, WOW!) ... Hear your crunching friends who call you, and join us!  Tous les autres, bien sûr ça fait plaisir que vous participiez, mais si vous voulez que je vous réponde personnellement, postez ! ---------- All the others, of course it's nice that you participate, but if you want me to answer you personally, post!  Little Mermaid, Je n'y connais rien en téléphone, mais pour te dire, le mien ne reçoit même pas les MSM. Il faut que j'utilise un lien reçu par SMS, sur mon PC. Mais dans le principe, je ne trouve pas ça normal. Un programme de sauvegarde, logiquement, il écrase (remplace les anciens fichiers par les nouveaux) au bout de quelques jours. Il n'y a pas une option quelques part pour limiter le nombre de sauvegarde ? Il vaut mieux demander à quelqu'un d'autre, comme Saphir12. ---------- I do not know anything about it on the phone, but to tell you, mine does not even receive MSM. I need to use a link received by SMS, on my PC. But in principle, I do not find it normal. A backup program, logically, it overwrites (replaces old files with new ones) after a few days. There is not an option somewhere to limit the number of backups? It's better to ask someone else, like Saphir12. |

Many of the names are in my dreams, stefadaI'll be happy for everyone that comes Yes, I think a backup program should not need vacant storage almost the size of what it is backing up .... 16GB - basic OS and a few apps are 10GB ... have to study that some more I would like very much to see your wild Breton dance Beaucoup de noms sont dans mes rêves, stefada Je serai heureux pour tout le monde qui vient Oui, je pense qu'un programme de sauvegarde ne devrait pas avoir besoin d'un espace de stockage libre presque de la taille de ce qu'il sauvegarde ... 16GB - OS de base et quelques applications sont 10 Go ... doivent étudier cela plus J'aimerais beaucoup voir ta danse sauvage bretonne [: D] |
