Quote from tristancliffe :

But if they accelerate from the same line, one with a head stand and an initial speed advantage then the gain difference at the end will be more than the head start.

e.g. Car one at line at t=0 and V=60
Car two at line at t=0.5 and V=58 (i.e. the first car got on the power earlier, possibly from an initially lower speed and is therefore faster at corner exit, where the line is).

At the finish line some distance further on it might be something like:

Car 1: t=15 V=150
Car 2: t=17 V=149

And so, by going slower INTO the corner but faster OUT of the corner car one is ultimately quicker.

Does that make sense? Numbers picked from thin air of course, but prove the point.

Well the simplest cornering model I can come up with is that two cars are absolutely identical, in speed and position, at the apex of a corner, and then one car fully accelerates while the other car will first continue at the apex speed for 0.1 s and the accelerate.

In this case the second car will actually be less then 0.1 s behind the first car when they reach the end of the straight. This is because, compared to the pure drag racing example, the second car is actually moving and shortening the length of the following straight instead of just waiting.

The way I see it, the most you're going to get out of accelerating earlier is a time advantage that is exactly the amount of time that you started accelerating earlier. To get a time gap that increases along the straight you need to accelerate better than the other car i.e. go from zero to full throttle faster.

Quote from lerts :

i was thinking if you start acelerating in the corner 1 tenth of a second before at the end of the straight you have not gained on tenth but maybe a whole second, is this correct

No. Why should it be like that? If two identical cars accelerate from the same line, with a one second head start for one car, why would one expect the time difference to change by the time they reach the end of the straight?

But I don't get what the point of it all is for home computers used by small numbers people. To make sure Joe Blow doesn't accidentally delete "important" program files? Aren't the most protected files (program files) the least important and most easily restored type of data anyway? And putting programs in 5 different places at once just makes it even harder to protect yourself against data loss as you have find a way to do a backup in the first place. I just don't get it.

What do you mean by "After formatting you simply restore your home, copy your 20GB of games, and there you go." How do you simply restore all the registry entries and files that are scattered everywhere? Just disabling UAC and keeping everything in one place is far simpler than any of the other options I can imagine.

Directory Opus: Get used to it once and you won't believe all the stupid things that Windows Explorer does, like not display full file names, remove file extensions when renaming, abort a complete file move batch because of one error, change drag and drop behavior depending on type of drive, not allowing a dual view, no tabs, no wildcard filter, no folder size display, err, I could go on and on.

Lets's put hardware settings in HKLM, driver settings in HKCU, program files in, well, program files, user files in app data and savegames in "my games"...

Not.

Dos style program folders are perfect for almost all the programs that most people use on their personal PC. I hate how program structures that only make sense for large companies and massively multi user terminals are shoved down our throats for no reason whatsoever.

PS: I have a DOS games folder over 20 GB in size and guess how long it takes to install all those games? That's right: just as long as at takes to copy the data.

Quote from ShUckErU :

it is an easier version to use. you dont have to specify the folder

But is that really an advantage? I think it probably makes it more difficult to carry personal settings along with you, which is the whole point of a portable app.

Don't want to sound too negative, but how exactly is it more portable than it was before? LFS doesn't use the registry anyway and all files and settings are in one folder.

Quote from Shotglass :

which is why the hotfix was finalised before they released the _beta_... jesus if you want to critizise microsoft at least keep your critique away from lerts like logical fallacies

I didn't realize that the fix was out before the public release. But still, I spent two days recovering data... No matter how you but it, data corruption is not acceptable for a public release. I mean my impression of Win7 is still better the BSODware that was Vista upon release but at least that was ATI/Nvidia's fault, not MS themselves.

And btw I consider myself an MS fanboi, XP is a lot more stable than anything from OSS or Apple but Win7 just seems to be backwards in terms of quality. I can accept all kinds of bugs but not data corruption.

My point is that causing data corruption is about the worst thing that any software can do to a system and not even a beta released to the public should have any of these type of bugs. Sure, it can happen, but when it does, my trust in the capability of the company that messed up falls dramatically.

Quote from Shotglass :

btw you guys better grab the mp3 patch somewhere too

Woah, MS are really trying hard to lose their reputation of making stable, reliable software. Not touching anything beta from them any time soon.

Quote from Chris P :

As for the straightline braking... that might be the case in some cars, but definitely not always as I myself have experienced in a relatively modern VW Polo ('07 model).

Be carefull with modern cars, the abs might using some features of the esp, because on a lot of recent cars the esp option is just a software switch with a few extra sensors fitted.

Tested Win7. Catastrophic fail. Spent the last two days trying to recover the data from the corruption it caused on my harddisk...

It was really strange, after a few minutes of usage a popup would tell be to run chkdsk because my system drive was corrupted. A boot to XP (including chkdsk) would always fix it for a while and XP itself had zero problems. Then on one reboot it just completely destroyed the partition table, all recovery tools refused to even try anything, except "Active@ Partition Recovery".

My only explanation is that the Uli/Ali chipset driver Win7 comes with is broken. So be warned.

I liked the desktop slideshow and the fact that it can play divx, xvid, avc and mpeg-2 out of the box, without extra codecs but all in all it felt more like some buggy open source project than a usable OS. Lot's of small bugs like not remembering settings, desktop gadgets only work if UAC is on none of the automatically downloaded drivers actually worked (TV cards) etc.

Quote from hagenisse :

Obviously, a human with one pedal vs a system that can brake each wheel independently isnt really a fair match..

People can brake better then abs if conditions are (more or less) constant like on track, however on public road, you never know exactly how much grip there is and how exactly the brakes will perform when hit hard after hardly being used for some time. That' s why on public road having abs is much saver for most people.

Also, what you describe is a stability-control system, abs is a much simpler system. If just reduces brake-force to avoid the lockup of any tyre and it would be very dangerous to this on one side of a car at a time. Left and right-brakebalance must always be exactly 50,0-50,0 or you gonna need a:littleangin case of an emercency stop. (except if your car also has a stability-system equipped)

I saw it on LFS World ... but i nobody can entry it say "time-out connection".
Router problem?

thanks dude , i need this guide ,thanks

Quote from wild :

Are you connecting to the Internet via a router? If so you might want to open the ports via that and also open them on your PC.

You don't need to Play LFS in Hamachi as you can just start a server, password it, then give the password to your team so no one else can get in

thanks
i set the port of LFS as 99999 , now it works , i can see it in the host onlines on LFS DeskTop

ive got Windos Vista Home Premium , now i deactivated Windos Firewall , but doesn't work .
Again the error : TCP Socket : Blind Failed.
and an other question:
if i want to play LFS in Hamachi how i can do it?
