"Ego eques Polonus sum, Latine loquor"
Etiam si tu non Polonus es, lingua Latina singularam linguam est.
Volo scire, quanta persona ea lingua loquorent?

Deutscher Faden

Fri, 30 Dec 2016 12:04:48 +0100

Tjaaa. Wenn man erlaubt ist Englisch zu sprechen, warum nicht auf Deutsch? Alle Muttersprachler/innen und auch Nichtmuttersprachler/innen müssen sich einigen und die beste Sprache der Welt, das Deutsche, benutzen! Ich habe die Nase voll vom Englischen, möge das Deutsche ewig leben!

Haha, jetzt aber ernsthaft. Dies ist also n kleiner Faden (innerhalb der englischen Sektion, wusste nicht, ob sie die richtige Sektion für ihn war) den Sprechern der besten Sprache auf der Welt gewidmet. Es hängt davon nicht ab, ob du die richtige Grammatik benutzt, ob du dich nicht gut ausdrücken kannst, ob du nur ein paar Wörter kennst, usw. Alle sich fürs Deutsche interessierende Personen sind willkommen!

Ich stelle doch einige Fragen, damit die Diskussion anfangen kann. Seid ihr Muttersprachler/innen oder nicht? Wie lange lernt ihr? Warum interessiert ihr euch fürs Deutsche? Übt ihr täglich? Was macht euch Schwierigkeiten? Und umgekehrt, was ist einfach?

Manche von euch mögen wissen, dass ich Germanistik an der Uni studiere, also bin begeistert, sogar enthusiastisch, wenn ich Deutsch höre, lese und schreibe. Ich lerne Deutsch seit 6 (oder mehr?) Jahren. Am ersten fand ich alles einfach, Deutsch war ne echt regelmäßige Sprache für mich (sogar die so genannten unregelmäßigen/starken Verben waren nicht so schlecht), aber drei Jahre später entdeckte ich Funktionsverbgefügen, mit deren ich heutzutage kämpfe.

Los geht's!

Kinro v Austerlitz

Sat, 03 Dec 2016 23:20:13 +0100

Howdy there friends, from my perspective now is 3rd December and I'm on my way to the place, where French army destroyed Austrians and Russians in 1805.

First, I visited Krenovice - Prace, to be precise. - French cuirassier, riding down the road to Brno welcomed us from his horse.
Here, Mohyla Miru is a monument for rememberance of the battle. Museum next to the monument contains a lot of informaton about the battle and Emperors themself and its souvernirs are of quite good quality. Especially flintlock pistols replicas. The place is guarded by a single back-loaded 1751 cannon replica (Liechtenstein system).

From there, Russians couldn't see the actual size of Napoleon's army because of a fog that appeared in the morning.

Then, we visited carp ponds, on which Russian elite army moved to the battlefield and (gossiply) drowned because of breaking ice. Actually, there were only two bodies that were found. Unlucky soldiers that drowned in shallow water.

Moving to the battlefield, we've driven by a wall of bazantarnia near Sokolnice, which was pierced with holes, just to be filled with cannon barrels that defended the place.

We were learned about general Przybyszewski of Russian Empire, who capitulated when he realized his troops would not do anything but die. Tsar sent him to a military trial, where he was pleaded innocent, so tsar gave a personal trial, which sentenced him to death by work.

13:15, There we are! Almost an hour to the reenactment of Austerlitz battle. Sun is shining happily and the cold is almost impossible to feel. It is a good day to die. Right before the event we looked at bronze map on Zuran hill.

15:30, the battle seems reluctant to end. Cuirassiers, uhlans, hussards, every cavalryman is here supposedly just to ride in circles and perform a little attack from time to time. Musketeers are immortal and blind, as they shoot mostly under their feet, even if they shoot fake shots. At least artillerists are doing fine. Napoleonic cannons are much quieter than those my reenactment group is using. Even our pistaly are louder than those. AND NO REENACTOR SHOPS! I wanted to buy something today... A little tornister or bandolier... Well, it's still not a day over. It was a great battle... But maybe to great? Also, my boots are regretting running along with cavalry ;_;

(one pic shows how hard was it to take the photo)

Next stop, a fair in Brno. Here, I thought I was going to buy something. But in all this bunch of food stands, cotton candy sellers and souvernir merchants there was only ONE stand that provided reenactment stuff. WW1 reenactment...
Oh yes and I saw some random French infantry fighting... Someone. Russians? Or other French? Dunno. First regiment was in front of a building and the other one was RIGHT BEFORE THE WALL.
It looked like an execution on immortal, armed people for me. The banging was much louder than that one from the open field, mostly because of all these accustic stuff.

And finally, my old chaps, Kinro has entered his room in a hotel in Brno and is awaiting the next day, full of museum sightseeing. Dressed in his traditional medieval undergarment, he tries very hard to connect to internet and post this online.

See you tomorrow.

All-history thread

Fri, 13 Feb 2015 07:23:57 +0100

This part of forum was dead for a while, so I thought making a thread for all those historicians who want to share their knowledge with others would be a good idea.
So, in this thread, we post interesting facts about history of our countries (I assume, that anyone who studies, have to learn more about his country than the other)

So, to start that, I've got a bunch of the oldest Polish legends:

- Mieszko I, first Christian ruler of Poland who brought the religion from Czech Kingdom by marriage, was, as chronicles say, blind until his seventh birthday.

- In the legend of Lech, Czech and Rus, Lech wasn't sure where to start building, until he saw a white eagle in his nestle (so they killed him) and built there a grod called Gniezno, from Polish "gniazdo", that means nestle.

- Remember the basilisk from the Stare Master (first season)? He scared people of Krakow, living underground, turning every living thing into stone, until he saw his own stare in the mirror (as my cryptozoology books say, basilisks are born only once per a century in the number of one from the... Ehm... Cock's egg, fertilized by snake.)

I have way more things to share, but I am very curious about your countries' history and legends.

Pony Botnet attacks the Interwebz, stealz all your monies!

Tue, 25 Feb 2014 11:02:29 +0100

REUTERS repost / Source:
http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/02/2...JO20140224

Citace:(Reuters) - Cyber criminals have infected hundreds of thousands of computers with a virus called "Pony" to steal bitcoins and other digital currencies, in the most ambitious cyber attack on virtual money uncovered so far, according to security firm Trustwave.

- Cons are expensive.. yeah

Citace:Trustwave said it believes the crime ring is still operating, though it does not know who is running the group. The company said it has disrupted the servers that were controlling machines infected with Pony, but expects the group to launch more attacks on virtual currency users.

- Fausticorn?

Citace:Trustwave in December uncovered a trove of some 2 million stolen passwords to websites including Facebook Inc, Google Inc, Twitter Inc and Yahoo Inc while probing a command and control server using a less sophisticated version of the Pony malware.

- SweetieBot 1.0, testing in progress!

Citace:Trustwave said on Monday that the new version of Pony compromised another 600,000 website credentials.

ALL YOUR PONIES ARE BELONG TO US!

Would you Rave your way to work?

A recent article on BBC has prone me to create this topic (in english so that you guys can get some exercise out of it ) about the morning after-party exercise to get ready for your job.

Its not common in Czech but in UK, it is common for people to go clubbing and partying on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday and Friday. Also Saturday too sometimes. Not Sunday thou!

And the toll we all pay for having a really good time with our fav. tunes, mates and drink or what not is that our bodies are not exactly well rested or cared for after such a night out.

When You have a serious full-time job, it is not uncommon to go to a gym at 7 before work for a quick 30-50 minutes of very painful waking up process and to get the monkey's off your back.

Now these guys have thought of an idea how to put 1+1 together and turn these rather harsh morning's into a proper enjoyable work out to get full on positive energy, sort of like MLP as well with hugging apparently

So basically, they have put Raving and Exercising (fitness) together!
I present thee, the Morning Glory Rave Club:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-23525159

So what do you think of this? Would you do it? Got a better idea how to wake up with a hangover and get ready for work within an hour? Feel free to discuss
