Not so. This has happened many times. Thy family name wasn't changed on purpose. Often the officers changed the spellings they couldn't figure out, or pronounce. It's a myth to think they didn't. There are many records of this being done.
Trust me, it is a myth. Have you ever seen the immigration ledgers for your family? They were filled out in the port of embarkation, not here. I'd bet money that the spelling on these ledgers is the original one used by your family when they left Europe, or a phonetic equivalent. I have never seen a single record showing that people had their names changed by immigration authorities in the U.S. -- despite all the family stories. But it is a fact that immigrants could and often did change their names once they arrived. In my own family, my great-grandfather's children used at least three, very different variations on the family name once they arrived here. No law prohibited it. They wanted to sound more American, so they took whatever name they wanted.
I just get a bit suspicious when someone joins a web forum and posts a comment ... and then joins the same forum under another name and posts exactly the same comment in the same thread.
How many other forums have you copy/pasted that comment? Is it all a bit stupid or is it all part of a cunning plan?
I fixed the last 3 as best as i can . Again i will try my best here on this forum . What is your school query about ? huh
Perhaps we can clear some of this up.
Are you primarily an English speaker, or is this a second (or third) language for you?
We have a large number of posters here who don't speak English as their native tongue, and therefor, their posts are not as clear as we might expect.
Of course, if that's the case, criticizing someone else's posts as not being clear, is interesting.
Should we try to write in such a way so that we're easily understood by those whose English isn't that good? Or should we carry on as always, hoping they will figure it out?
We all have different writing styles. Mine can be somewhat baroque at times.

Things changed as time went on. I was assured by my grandmother on my father's side, that they didn't change their name, but that it was "adjusted" for them. In the confused times before the 20th century, this wasn't as organized as you think it was. They had no papers from their home country, like many others in the same situation. They had other information, but that was not used by the authorities at the time. They were asked their names, and that was what was written down.

I know there will be a lot of bitching about what I'm about to suggest, but maybe AI should REQUIRE that newbies declare their origins. Hardly anyone includes his or her location although AI asks for that. No location shown, no membership.
It would also make discussing something more interesting if you knew where the other person is. I can't see where that would be an invasion of privacy as most members use aliases anyway.
It would help the rest of us be a lot more understanding if the newbie's first language is not English. As it is, we are in the dark.

I don't agree with such a policy for obvious reasons but if we did know a poster's first language, area of residence, age, level of education and technical proficiency in certain areas it would go a long way to having better communication.

I just think you're too worried Sol. Saying what country we're from isn't a big deal. I sure don't care, and actually like knowing that someone I'm talking to is from somewhere else. I find other cultures very interesting. My daughter is going to spend the next four years in school in England, and expects to travel all around Europe during that time (except when she comes home for major holidays and part of the summer, I hope). I think she's lucky to have been given this "gift".

Except for some of the tech stuff i understand all that is said here. English is my only lang. last time ok . I will try to be clear as possible.if some people still have a problem then too bad. i mean hey wtf some ppi have 8000 posts in 2 yrs . that to me is a close call for being a trol
You should write as you write . Do not dumb down for the trolls here.

Nor do I as my country of origin and residence should be known to the regulars here. What Sequitor suggested was "newbies declare their origins." That sounds like a requirement, which I don't agree with, even though country of origin is quite useful, especially on topics of cellphones and cell networks where system types and population density and government funded networks make a difference. I'd really like to know someone's age before posting as sometimes I think people must be very young to say what they say.

The concern isn't about your tech knowledge but the way your write. Your previous structuring of sentences with one to two words per line is atypical and not easy to read. You've adjusted that and we thank you, but how about some proper capitalization, spacing and punctuation.

Well, I wouldn't want it to be a requirement, as people won't always tell the truth, and having the computer's IP and location pulled and posted by the site itself would prove invasive.
We could ask people this information, but if they don't want to give it, there's really nothing we can do.
I just think it's polite to let others know where you're from.
The other problem is with age. While I often suspect some people here are "young", I can't prove that either. Often, younger people may feel intimidated if they know older people know their age, because they may feel that others will treat them less deferentially (not that we treat each other all that deferentially anyway). They may be correct in that.

Having the forum code on the serverside pull the country flag for each posters IP would be cool. I like how µTorrent does with the seeds and peers.
If I knew that a poster was young I would be more respectful topics like IP ownership and other business related topics. Things that I wouldn't expect a young adult to fully grasp.

I suppose that might be ok, but there might be people from some countries who might feel nervous about having their country posted. In some cases, I can understand that.

That's exactly what they might not want. They'll be offended that you're talking down to them. I prefer to do that on a poster to poster basis as needed.
Rather than only continuing to try to make boatloads of money on overpriced display components Apple needs to focus more effort on their Non-Display integrated product offerings. Many people like the convenience of having an all-in-one type of unit and I can see where it makes sense try to lower the prices of these a little, but shaving off $100 here and a $100 there alone isn't going to grow the market share...really. Getting in the games, as Apple can see with it's success with the iPhone and subsequent shift towards gaming, can however undoubtedly grab market share.
Apple should create a mid-tower that gives gamers/techies, specifically, a hardware option that allows them to easily add RAM, swap video cards, sound cards, cpus etc. Since building the hardware alone isn't going to cut the mustard...as Apple has alienated game developers for YEARS acquisitions need to be made. Apple should acquire Unity3D ( a Mac Game dev. Software company), Blizzard games, Marathon Software, Illuminate Labs and Valve software. Really, only after all of these acquisitions are made will Apple have enough bargaining chips to broker it's way into gaming in a real and substantial way. If Apple makes these moves they could then partner with Intel's Project Offset team to develop mac oriented game tools that are a nice companion to OpenCL, Intel's forthcoming Larrabee hardware and the Project Offset software. With Intel hardware being at the heart of the next XBox, Playstation, probably Wii and Intel owning killer PC game dev tools Intel will have a prominent position in the games space in the not so distant future. As an aside Apple should acquire AutoDesk as well to keep it's pro media and entertainment investments on solid footing...it's not completely foreign in this convo, because game development should also be part of the "pro media and entertainment " heading...if it existed.
Apple needs to make some other bold moves too...they should finally accept that movies are not music and "Download Only" is just not going to work for a host of reasons, not the least of which people don"t want to become pod people, like the "Wall-E" human beings. Apple should integrate AppleTV and the Mac mini and add DVR and SlingBox-like functionality which shouldn't be difficult. Finally Apple should acquire Blockbuster Video. This would expand Apple's brick and mortar presence exponentially, give them an avenue to movie and games rentals and sales for their consumer hardware and complete an unbreakable games industry iron triangle Hardware Development/Software Development/Distribution.

Concerning >>> capitalization, spacing and punctuation.i will try .Many here don't either. Anyway i was born 1957 Freeport L.I. I haved lived in nyc all my life .I have no formal trainng with p/c's but my former boss went with mac .ifeel the mac os was very weak until 9.2. For me i loved 9.2 and i hope OSX will be one day as solid. I also feel that the MBP 15 IN may be the finest computer ever made .To think that you can freely move around this world with this uni body .

I haved lived in nyc all my life .I have no formal trainng with p/c's but my former boss went with mac .ifeel the mac os was very weak until 9.2. For me i loved 9.2 and i hope OSX will be one day as solid. I also feel that the MBP 15 IN may be the finest computer ever made .To think that you can freely move around this world with this uni body .
peace
