I guess there are no restrictions for Germans on visiting and contributing to the Indian forum too.

The separate forum is mostly there to familiarize newer members from India/China with the western forum etiquettes. You'll notice a quite a few Indian members chilling in the lounge as well.
It is just there to bridge the cultural gap, no special treatment unlike many believe because of the numbers.

Didn't know there is a gap.
|
|
|
|

Not for everyone, but yes, there is. Stick a little longer and you'll know.

You would not believe what a gap I stumbled over when I first stumbled in here.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

My favorite "GAP" story is The Onion: Gap Unveils New 'For Kids By Kids' Clothing Line[^].
Moderate technical quality (2007 vintage), but contents is The Onion at its best. I call it "my favorite" not in the feelgood sense - it really gives me shivers. Especially since it is "based on a true story" - the episode was created in response to a disclosure of conditions at real-world GAP factories.

No surprise, in Dutch GAP means something like 'filch'

If you slip over to QA you will find many, many gaps.
Mostly between peoples ears ...

How true. No cure for that, i fear. My noob gap existed only for one post or two, then I got a real warm welcome from some guy from Texas. Spent enough time there and I instantly felt right at home.

Are Germans allowed in the Lounge?
Sense of humour, and all that.

They stay away on their own because they don't get the humor.

There’s no special forum for English-speakers either. Get over yourself.

So threads in German, or any other non-English language, will be welcomed in this forum?
I guess a lot of native English speakers would be rather annoyed if the distribution of languages in the forum got anywhere close to the distribution of languages in the world.
As always: "Neutral" is the way I want it.

Sure, but they'll be mostly ignored... CP is vastly English-oriented. Articles, tips, questions, etc must be posted in English, so be my guest, and waste your time if you want...

A: American. 
We don't have to speak multiple languages.
I took French in high school (almost 50 years ago), but I retained almost none of it due to lack of use. Besides, the term "Welcome to Texas" doesn't (and probably *shouldn't*) have a direct translation in any other language.

Quote: "Welcome to Texas"
Does this help?
"Bienvenue au Texas. N'oubliez pas de garder vos armes chargées à tout moment."
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

We say "Welcome to Texas", and assume that you understand what we're sayin'... Besides, you're coming to Texas, most likely without being directly invited. You should already know the f*ckin language...

I've had this laptop for a few years and just recently bought it from my former employer.
When I quit that job last week they had to wipe my computer, which should've been as easy as restoring an image.
Except the image wasn't found, everything went awry, they had to download a new bootable drive, and I had to wait for four hours instead of the usual 20 minutes.
And now it just won't boot correctly.
When I turn it on it often hangs in a black screen which only a hard reset will solve.
The seconds time it takes one to two minutes to boot instead of the usual ten to twenty seconds.
I did some diagnostics checks, but everything seems to be OK...
There's nothing at startup that could take such a time.
I'm on the latest updates of both Dell and Windows.
And now it hangs on the installation of a (really very latest) Windows update at 61% 
I'm a bit out of options and I'm considering doing another fresh install...
