Can you blame us? Even the Romans didn't **** up the world nearly as much as Americans are now and the Romans made slavery legal.

Now clearly, the only proper and moral way to crack open a boiled egg is from the pointed end. |

I'm setting a bug report everyday until this is fixed. Please don't We already have a defect on it (and ideas how to fix it), and it's just going to waste everyone's time if you keep filing bugrepoorts on it (i'm assuming you were talking about the numpad decimal not working, not what's the correct way to write numbers and dates like some people are arguing about here . The numpad decimal should work on your keyboard if it's set to the same language as the regional settings... for example, it doesn't work when I have US-EN keyboard but Icelandic regional settings, but if I switch the keyboard to Icelandic, it works just fine... so you might want to change the keyboard settings until we fix it) This has been fixed internally and will be deployed in a future patch.

I'm glad you like it... should I maybe not tell you that you could always do that by swapping 2 values in the prefs file... yeah, I think I won't Any chance to force the game NOT TO USE the regional settings? I tried to force it by editing the prefs.ini, however that did not helped at all. No, sorry, I don't think you can do it as it is now (and I don't think there are any plans to change it). This change was made in the Crucible expansion when we replaced the localisation system used in EVE, to prepare for the launch of more localised clients (currently we have English, German and Russian on TQ, Japanese in beta state on TQ, and Chinese on Serenity).

DD/MM/YY is correct.
MM/DD/YY is not correct.
Days go into months, and months go into years. DD/MM/YY is a logical progression of size.
MM/DD/YY, however, is just an eyesore and logical failure.
I can respect YY/MM/DD, but one must consider that when it comes to dates we often care about the day and month before anything else. Personally my favorite is the YY/MM/DD - and the reason is for that: Take a program which creates a folder every day. After a year or two, you look that folder, and you see a big mess, as the directories are sorted by the first two characters, so you get a list where it's hard to find - select the days which are within a month. However if you have the folder structure in: YY/MM/DD then the folder list will be a clean list, where you can easily find the days, which are belonging to one month. What is correct depends on your definition
Here's one standard and here's another convention...

Which is why you (and everyone else) should use 3 letters for month, and 4 digits for year.
03-feb-2012 or feb-03-2012 or 2012-feb-03 or 2012-03-feb or whatever, no mistake possible.
While if I say something happen on 10-11-12, you will need to know if I am European or American to know which day I speak about. (or I could have been Japanese(I think), and the event would have happened in 2010, not sure of the month ... )
So please, for every date, use DD-mmm-YYYY or mmm-DD-YYYY but not a short digit notation. Please. You can even put the (abbreviated) name of the month in Icelandic or Jovian if you want, it will still be easier to remember than wondering every time you see a date that fall early in the month.
Thanks

I have to disagree with you here.
YY-MM-DD is the correct one of course. It follows the logic of the decimal system with the biggest units to the left. It also sorts logically with the early dates first. I believe it is also ISO standard: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601
MM/DD/YY is as logical as gallons, ounces (fluid or not) and the english mile.

ISO 8601 is actually YYYY-MM-DD, and having a 4 digit year is the key to recognise the order. EVE uses YYYY.MM.DD.

You are clearly wrong, grammatical, ethical and furthermore I have to protest of your ignorance of the american way of live. We open our eggs differently. |

If you cut them longitudinally, you're a good man.
If you cut them transversely, I will literally run a locator on you and pod you. "WeGÇÖre a professional Merc Alliance, like PL" ~ snot shot, 2012 |

Ha, you are so right. I actually do cut them longitudinally since I have found that to be superior for avoiding a mess with soft boiled eggs (i.e. the yellow part is almost all liquid). And i never hard boil my eggs. When cut this way both halves also sits nicely on the plate without support which is not the case when you cut transversely. |
