Sorry guys, I had to cancel the trip. Some important work related new project came up and I can't miss this opportunity. Have fun everybody!

No, you need at least 1000Mps. Seriously, 1 Mbit is enough for gaming ... just not for downloading games (quickly). In my experience ppl with fast fiber lines experience more often jitter (erratic ping) problems than ppl with slower copper lines. For gaming Ping is important, Jitter and Packet Loss. Speed is not.

... and gals Btw, where is my Berlin XI Fest Medal? :-)

I'm a bit late to the party, but I just booked flight and hotel. Looking forward to seeing you guys!

anyway, in case we agree to go to Croatia we need to decide quickly, so that we're going to get a decent affordable hotel. No biggie though on booking.com for the moment due to free cancelation etc. Edit: how do I get that XI Fest Berlin Medal? I was there :-)

Early July then or late June. Have my own holidays late July, thats why.

I guess that is cheap isn't it. All EU destinations are cheap. EasyJet goes to all of them directly afaik.

I gues Prague has been mentioned the most so far ... although I'd rather sit on the beach in subtropical Dubrovnik or Split .... I can agree to Prague.

(Edinburg, Split) and I forgot to add Dubrovnik - you know Kings Landing "Game of Thrones" - plus Adria beach, sunshine, summer, palm trees ...

Edinburgh Scotland or Split in Croatia.

LOL Yeah that was quite a good timing being on that comfy boat while the rest of Berlin was drowning in hard rain. Thanks!

They said there is always still room if you're not there last minute. And of course thre is beer on board :-)

So, I reserved 12 seats on a Berlin - River Spree boat trip. It starts Saturday at 14:45. We should be there 15 to 30 minutes early to get the seats. The location is: http://www.spree-havelschiffahrt.de/anlegestellen.html (1st location on teh page)

Just booked the room. Cya all there!

As long as you say something strongly, loudly, repeatedly and with extreme confidence, the simple minded will believe you. No matter how empty, senseless, stupid or untrue is what you are saying. I can't explain how else Trump can have supporters. If Clinton would start to dumb down her speeches and be pissed about everything, tweet utter nonsense, make stupid proposals, would talk without making any sense - it wouldn't have the same effect. If she would do it, she would get torn apart by the press and and lose support. But if Trump does it .... well it's just Trump being Trump. You need to be male, have a narcisistic pesonality disorder and be convinced to be the best human on earth to pull that off.

... and doesn't even know it

I have changed my name from The M0stlyHarmless to Mossticles, this has been carried out by ROCKAPE>XI<ADM at my request and all records have been updated.

Tell me more about how you know nothing about the EU.

No, Germany has no immigration problem. We have a lot of refugees which are seeking asylum. They are not immigrants. And they are not a problem. In fact we took in about 1Mio refugees in one year. Many of them get their application for asylum rejected because they are economical refugees and not war refugees. Germany will even benefit from those who will stay. Most of them are young, they are going to be educted in Germany or they are already well educated. They are going to be valuable for our economy, demographics and society. Germany as a whole is not afraid of them. We have a potential of 10% - 15% xenophobic voters in Germany. But that is fading at the moment because the refugee issue turns out to be not a problem. What you repeat about raping and so on is right wing populist rhetoric and prophaganda with no grounds of truth. There were only two bigger incident in Cologne and Hamburg where a few hundred refugees and other people gathered and some of them harrassed women and pick pocketed. There was no raping involved. In Germany as in many other countries xenophobia only exists among those who have barely or never been in contact with people from other countries and cultures. Look at the votes in London. The majority of all immigrants in the UK lives and works in London. London clearly voted Remain. ___________________________________________- Another alarming thing about the referendum is this: Link It shows that probably Brexit voters who fell for the exaggerated populist claims of the Brexit campain are now - after the vote - actually being interested what they really voted for. One thing is clear these days, whether it's in the US or in the UK. Stupid has the numbers. (no offense) Questions with this kind of impact on not only the own country and the EU but basically the whole world should not be decided in referendums by ordinary half informed people who decide subjectively and not rational. Who mostly don't care about the ramifications and the future etc. Without any judgement: Statistic says that UK's young people voted remain That educated people voted remain That less educated people voted leave That older people voted leave One last thing: A referendum like this can not happen in Germany. Decisions on this level are being made by the "Bundestag" (German Parliament). The members of the parliament are being elected by all German citizens over 18 every 4 years.

What immigration problem?

There are no low level EU members and no one can be forced to get the EUR or enter Shengen. But most countries who joined did apply to just get that.
