Why is my name Gold?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Donated. Where's my badge?

Yes. I demand all donators get a special badge in recognition of their brave sacrifice!

 

[Marty]

Everyone who's donated get a golden username. Unless they don't want to.

We donated our "balls" too

 

[Zé Tahir]

Marty, I still want those flags!

Figured it out

My balls!

Haha we didn't make CL so we had to take out a bank loan to upgrade the forum. Then we got knocked out of the EL and we could no longer afford the interest repayments on our loan, and we don't have any money in the winter transfer market to upgrade the server. If we cant find a good loan with the option to buy deal we're headed straight for relegation :wink:

Oh, that's good. That's good.

My balls!

Andy's Ballz!

 

[.zero]

Andy's Ballz indeed

 

[Bjerknes]

Didn't know we had to re-submit the donation. Are we still able to do that?

 

[Marty]

If you've already donated and the donation was refunded you're more than welcome to send a new donation, much appreciated!

 

[swag]

Sorry, Andy - your inflated currency is no good here.

To be honest I have no idea how PayPal works but I checked and it seems that my country (Kosovo) isn't even listed there.

You're going from 2GB to 24GB? A typo surely.

EDIT: you actually wrote 2MB of RAM currently, even more of a jump then

Doesnt it say 2.048 MB? Which would be 2 GB?

Since you ask, I will gladly indulge in a little pedantry.

2.5 is pronounced "two point five", that is "two and a half".

2.048 MB is pronounced "two point oh four eight megabytes", therefore:
2.048 MB
= 2 MB + .048 MB
= (2 MB * 1024 KB/MB) + (.048 MB * 1024 KB/MB)
= 2048 KB + 49.152 KB
= 2097.152 KB

Not necessarily, it depends on the punctuation used to group the digits in a given country, where a dot or comm can be used either to group the thousands or the decimal places.

In the present case, the dot is used to group the digits so that the thousand is seperated from the other numbers for easier reading, while the decimal places would be seperated by a comma.

Therefore, Marty is actually saying he now has 2.048,00 MB of RAM. Since the decimal digits anyway, it's ok to put 2.048 to signify two thousand forty eight.

If he put 2,048 however, that would be a different story (provided, of course, that in the given country where he is the comma is used to separate the decimal places).

You two.
