I'm on the side of natural sciences - but also with some interest for human sciences, I don't support any kind of war between the two of them (the only exception is business studies / BWL ). As you may know notations in natural sciences are mainly based on Greek or Latin and in my opinion it's not a bad idea, else this would have been replaced decades ago. English and German are within the same language family (West Germanic languages) and therefor they are very near and it's really easy to adopt words and phrases. Both languages have many words with the same origin and you can often guess the meaning of a word you don't know yet. There are more similarities then with Romance languages. And yes, both took a lot of words and stuff from Latin and Greek because ancient Greece and the Roman Empire are the basis of today's Western world (including moral values and imperialism - two sides of the same coin). The world is a complex place and the more we interact globally, the more the (living) languages will change. Remind, there are also German words in English like kindergarten (not "children garden"), iceberg (not "ice mountain"), rucksack, Blitzkrieg (Metallica...) or Dollar (from German "Taler" -> Czech/Slovak/Slovenian "Tolar", see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar#Etymology, BTW I'm also very interested in numismatics [including ancient Roman coins]). While speaking of coins... Did you know, it was common to write "IIII" instead of "IV" on coins in medieval times? Somewhere I read US English is just a collection of spelling mistakes*. Remind, the USA aren't "god's own country" - they were built up by people from some/many European countries centuries ago. It's mainly English, but mixed up with other languages, so where's the problem when things bounce back to Europe? *finally retrieved and quoted from https://www.webmasterworld.com/google/3945052.htm (great forums! ): BTW in every message board (especially English speaking) you can abbreviate "by the way" with "BTW". There are several reasons to abbreviate, f.e. back then in the early days of the Internet (especially pre-WWW) memory, space and time were a scarce resource and made it into what we call "Internet slang" today. Oh..."BTW" reminds me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnfyjwChuNU (Red Hot Chili Peppers - By The Way, great band from the USA). kind regards soggi
  2. Oh yes, same here... Maaahhh...school...we aren't at school here. I think at school it's the same in UK or USA. This wasn't extreme, it was (and is) correct to not use abbreviations in continuous text which will be handed to a teacher. The debates about Anglicisms are pointless - where are the debates about Latinisms, Grecisms, Gallizisms or Hispanisms? Language of living people is a living, developing thing, else you ride a dead horse with dead people (Latin is the most famous example). The most people who are agitating against *isms (especially Anglicisms) are using *isms day by day themselves and name words/phrases *isms which aren't. Nevertheless it's important - I think - to cherish/cultivate a language (and dialect) - there are wonderful German (dialect) words and phrases which are seldomly used, for example. No kidding, there were at least two accs just reacting to "PH". kind regards soggi
  3. BTW this wasn't targeting you as you are known to read/post here (seldomly post, but you are). kind regards soggi
  4. Did you notice? Just write "PH" and some members who never wrote in this thread leave a message... BTW Porn is still on of the the things which takes most internet traffic, no matter how prudish societies are... BTW I would really appreciate it, if the understanding of "pH" would increase - chemistry is a great and important subject. I had some semesters while studying chemical engineering back then. I wouldn't say "frowned upon"...maybe uncommon is more precise!? Sometimes I also abbreviate in German, especially when I'm writing and not talking - but yes, it's more common in English. Hell start's freezing? A cooperation would be great...but I don't believe until hell is frozen up! kind regards soggi
  5. Theoretically it could also be "PistonHeads" (article 1 under "Arts and media") but none of the others as they don't make any sense in connection with UXP browsers. Hmmmmm... kind regards soggi
  6. This is the wrong link as it points to the meaning of "pH" in chemistry... Here is the right one -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH_(disambiguation). @AstroSkipper under "Arts and media" -> article 3. kind regards soggi
  7. The mirror of latest ArcticFox 40, BNavigator 0.9, Firefox 28/45ESR, IceApe 52, IceDove 52, K-Meleon 1.5.x/74/76, MailNews 52, New Moon 26.5/27/28, RetroZilla, RZ browser and Serpent 52/55 builds by @roytam1 has been updated -> soggi.org - tools. changelog: - added latest BNavigator 0.9 20230204 build - added latest IceApe 52 20230204 build - added latest IceDove 52 20230204 build - added latest K-Meleon 76 20230204 build - added latest MailNews 52 20230204 build - added latest New Moon 27 20230204 builds - added latest New Moon 28 20230204 builds - added latest Serpent 52 20230204 builds - added latest Serpent 55 20230204 builds To don't lose track of things I want to update too someday... todo: - add various flash player versions - add FlashFix for WinXP - add VLC 2.2.8 (WinXP non-SSE2) - add polyfill addons ------------------------------------------- Thank you, I'll try it! This is great! NM28 is my main browser, too - I switched from NM27 a couple of years ago <- Pale Moon 26 <- Firefox ESR 52. Once again a BIG thx to @roytam1 and all others! BTW what is that Base64 -> Encoder, an add-on? This would be cool for fast decoding Base64 encoded attacks to my website or other stuff like Base64 encoded files included in a HTML document. I don't have a dozen browsers installed...just IE6 SP3, NM27 and NM28 - and actually I'm only using NM28 and I'm very confident with it. Some times there are websites which don't work, but they aren't very important and I just say "F*ck you, I don't have to visit your JS overloaded, slow and incompatible hipster website!". Double-triple-upvote-like! Exactly what I thought, ChatZilla is a great IRC add-on! kind regards soggi
  8. There is also the latest Firefox ESR installed on our Win7 machine, but it is slow in comparison to Pale Moon aaaand what is much more important: the GUIs of all the modern browsers simply suck - Pale Moon still has the old/complete GUI which is extremly important to me. kind regards soggi
  9. New Moon 28 (and New Moon 27 as "back-up"). It would be great for family members which have problems to understand English, for me it doesn't matter. kind regards soggi
  10. Personally, i would recommend to use the latest official Pale Moon on Win7, despite it doesn't support WinXP anymore. Furthermore - if XP support is important - I would recommend New Moon 28 or Serpent 52 over K-Meleon 76 as the latter shares it's basis with New Moon 27, which is behind the possibilities of NM28's basis. None of @roytam1's builds builds include an automatic update mechanism, you have to replace them with every release by hand. We will see how well they will age... It mostly depends on which websites are important for you. Does it really work? The last time I wanted to use a Pale Moon lang pack in New Moon I had no success. kind regards soggi
  11. In a Nutshell: github-wc-polyfill obviously is just for GitHub and GitLab - Palefill is potentially for all websites. So, yes it would be better to start using Palefill! kind regards soggi
  12. The mirror of latest ArcticFox 40, BNavigator 0.9, Firefox 28/45ESR, IceApe 52, IceDove 52, K-Meleon 1.5.x/74/76, MailNews 52, New Moon 26.5/27/28, RetroZilla, RZ browser and Serpent 52/55 builds by @roytam1 has been updated -> soggi.org - tools. changelog: - added latest BNavigator 0.9 20230128 build - added latest IceApe 52 20230128 build - added latest IceDove 52 20230128 build - added latest K-Meleon 76 20230128 build - added latest MailNews 52 20230128 build - added latest New Moon 27 20230128 builds - added latest New Moon 28 20230128 builds - added latest Serpent 52 20230128 builds - added latest Serpent 55 20230128 builds To don't lose track of things I want to update too someday... todo: - add various flash player versions - add FlashFix for WinXP - add VLC 2.2.8 (WinXP non-SSE2) - add polyfill addons ------------------------------------------- The DL of Martok's Palefill add-on works here as intended, but you may want to get @roytam1's version from here: https://o.rthost.win/boc-uxp/index.php?sort=date&order=desc. Maybe @roytam1 can tell what's the difference between Martok's and his version!? I got a blue dot with this version within the add-ons manager, which means it is for Pale Moon / New Moon and doesn't run in compatibility mode (orange dot). No...don't be sorry for the "noise"! New Moon 28 and Serpent 52 (not 55 - despite the higher version number, if I remember correctly) have the latest engines for WinXP (no matter if SP2 or SP3). @roytam1 can clarify that. kind regards soggi
  13. Here it gets stuck at... Latest New Moon 28 20230121 with Palefill add-on. kind regards soggi
  14. No problem, s*** happens... Nice system, but I would prefer Win98SE on it! kind regards soggi
  15. BTW if you need some tools/utilities for older Windows versions (mostly Win95/WinNT4/Win98(SE)/WinME/Win2k/WinXP) or even DOS and some alternative OSes, you can have a look at my website -> https://soggi.org/misc/tools.htm. GreenPad is a text editor (Microsoft Editor / Notepad replacement) and NOT a browser! Have you really had a look at the URL you have posted? kind regards soggi
