Same with me in our german Forums with some Germans.

Auf wiedersehn! (oder ..zehn, I can't remember)

Good idea... but now it is monday - I am at Work.

PS: "Auf Widersehen" was correct. "Zehn" = "ten" in english, so "wiederzehn" makes no sense.

this site is plagued by popups, i am sorry.

[Inverse Icarus]

question because theres a ton of germans all over this thread:

can you briefly discuss the german flag? i'm quite interested in what the orange, black, red and symbolizes.

(and there are some other flags that just rotate / mix up the german flag, maybe i could see a reason)

But this 0190 dialer is not a mere commercial popup, but an attempt to cheat the customer by replacing his dialup internet connection by a dialer to a number, which costs up to $2 per minute . These dialers are illegal here. I could care less, because I'm not vulnerable with DSL and behind a Linux firewall, but others could get cheated this way. Imagine how such a poor victim will look if it is presented a $1000 phone bill at the end of the month.

I also saw the dialer twice, especially when opening new PMs. Next time I'll screenshot it and address this stuff in the community forum.

As far as i remember my history lessons the colours of our flag come from the first german democratic rebelion in 1848!

there is a song wich explains thenm as: "Schwarz wie das Pulver, rot wie das Blut und golden wie die aufgehende Sonne." which translates to black like the powder (gunpowder), red like the blood and golden like the dawning sun." They tried to install a democracy in germany and knew that they would need powder to shoot the aristocrats that they would have to pay in blood for their cause and they hoped for the light of the dawn at the end of the way....

on 1832 on the "hambacher fest" many people (more than 30 000 ) demonstrated for a democratic constitiution under this flag. later all the democratic movements in germany took this flag.

The colors of our flag were the colors of the uniforms of some german (prussian) regiments during the napoleonic wars. A regiment called 'Lützower Freicorps' was very brave and had always fought in the first battle line. These soldiers fought for their freedom and not for their King. So the german democrats used this colors to show that the battles were fought for a united germany and not for the prussian king. But their revolution in 1848 failed because of the strong prussian army. Some years later Bismarck unites Germany with 'a revolution from above'. But Bismarcks system wasn't a democratic system.
