Well for Paws see avatar... And me, I don't really look like a Motorbiking Giraffe's Arse, and i'm fit as foxtrot - with immense cardio vascular capacity. I can keep going after i've worn the skin away...
Just sayin'
Paws just isn't ready to go public yet. My PM's hold the truth 
INSIM: Setup Checksum
For reasons of security INSIM cannot send setup data, but i've noticed a few ideas, leagues and public servers rely on fixed setups. What if instead of setup data we could send a checksum?
struct IS_SET // Setup Checksum, for checking if a player has an approved setup without being able to read setup information
{
byte Size; // 12
byte Type; // ISP_SET
byte ReqI; // 0 unless this is a reply to an TINY_NPL request
byte PLID; // player's unique id
byte brakes // checksum for brakes
byte rideheight // checksum for ride height
byte suspension // checksum for suspension
byte steering // checksum for steering
byte diff // checksum for differential
byte gears // checksum for gear ratios
byte downforce // checksum for downforce
byte spare // unused
};
// ENUMERATIONS FOR PACKET TYPES
// =============================
enum // the second byte of any packet is one of these
ISP_SET, // 50 - request setbecause at that price Windows users wouldn't touch it.
LMAO.
What the forum doesn't know is any details of our PM's... You still havn't replied with your phone number btw. Do I take it i'm dumped?
I raced Scawen when I was a newbie. I was being far too generous with him as I wasn't completely comfortable with the game yet and he absolutely trashed me.
I then got to race him again doing patch X testing in the LX4, a car with which I had next to zero track mileage.
Needless to say Scawen thinks i'm a pretty lousy driver.
Emily Newman. She got her tits out in the film Wish You Where Here. She did not let me photograph them. Scatty as hell and wonderful fun and positive person, but tit photograph would have endeered her more to me.
The blonde one from Birds of a Feather. I met her a few times and she was always miserable.
Ralph Finnes not long after he got back from his North Pole expedition. A really positive person, very driven and motivated and quite nice to talk too.
Imaginary Nigel Mansell. I was off my tits on drugs some years back and imagined I was talking to him. Even in imaginary form his ego was massive.

Pets arnt stolen, they're abducted / kidnapped. They're every bit a family member. That's absolutely sick and I hope he comes to no harm and is returned soon. *hugs*
Sure. Your face can be my brake pedal, "HAIRPIN! *STOMP*"
Of course you are useful, who else I'm a going to have rally pack fantasies with?
Well i'd say follow me - but it's more or less the same shit that I put on facebook...
I distribute to all my self expression narcassism channels with one click these days...
It's um... not very intimidating. Seriously, it looks like it's for pealing potatoes.
If I get burgled again i'd seriously consider showing them my photo album, and then as we get to the page with the picture of The Very End holding my sword in a paintball mask and mechanics overalls i'll give them a long hard look in the eye and say - he's going to bum you...
The Very End Gay Porn Pic
I'm not sure how i'll get a burglar to go through my photo collection though, maybe if I offer him tea and cream cakes?
/illconsideredplan
*shakes head*
Seriously if this is the kind of narcassistic self expression you guys need in order to cope with your miserable existences then go make a twitter account or something, the place where having absolutely nothing interesting to say is a cherrished commodity.

You do realise that it's far easier to scam the main checkouts? Nobody expects it, just leave a few small/expensive things in the bottom as you walk through - maybe engage them in conversation as you push through so that they're looking at you. Easy, and no computer to foil - just good old fallable school kids with no prospects 
The self checkouts are monitored by a member of staff, they find the most stuck up goodie two shoes they can and insert an extra 3 sticks up their arse.
So when you go through do the whole act natural thing and do not speak in a foreign language or with an accent because according to my local supermarkets inbred self appointed self important overseer of yokel criminals on the self checkout: 98% of all attempts to scam the self checkout are by Polish people (the countries big immigration centre is near me so we have a very high Polish population locally).
This is because she looks for foreign people: Because they steal our jobs, claim our unemployment benefit, are responsible for almost all crime and cause cancer. aka: a Daily Mail reader.
So there you have it, a little field research complete and you can be part of the 2% :P

I love shopping, but for anything specialist or for when you're looking for a particular specification of thing it is usually far easier to order online.
/begin bias: Of course i've a 100 or so client web sites i'd be more than happy for you to buy from - so do that :P Online shopping rules... /end bias
but we don't all have access to your peep holes!
I've been burgled, well I say "I". This was back when I lived with my folks and we were actually by the same guy 4 times according to his plea after he was eventually cought (I say cought, he handed himself in and confessed to a crime sprea covering 2 decades).
On one ocassion I did "disturb" the burglar, I heard a noise and went to investigate.
See there is a stark difference between what you'd like to think you will do when a situation arises, and what you actually do.
What i'd like to think would happen is that I overpower the burglar and restrain him and be the much loved hero bringing an evil man to justice.
What actually happened is I got halfway down the stairs, saw him, rubbed my eyes and did a double take to check I wasnt imagining it, and then realised that my dressing gown was not in any way an offensive weapon...
...See what actually happened, when it was real and the chips were really down, is that we were burgled when I was asleep. Therefor no amount of rational thought went into my preperation for investigating the noise I had heard.
"Why are you wearing a dress?" he asked. In credit to him this is brilliant because his 'why' question left me dumb-founded, and I stopped to think about it to give an answer, and in my half dazed state this wasnt easy. Firstly I wasnt wearing a dress, and secondly why not? It made no sense.
But that wasnt the point, he only needed a few seconds to get out.
So when you've finished being macho pondering what you'll do when a burglar visits you, maybe you ought to consider at what time of day/night a burglar might do it.
They'll either visit during the day whilst you are out, or they'll visit in the night whilst you are sleeping.
And if it takes you as many coffee's as it does me to get going in the morning then you can bet your last valued possession (what the hell, it's getting stolen anyway) that what's really going to happen is you will be at best half-asleep and totally unprepared - no matter how prepared you are.
I do have weapons, some blunted swords I keep for ornamental purposes and an autolocking telescopic baton I won in a street fight. I dont plan to ever use them, they're a curiosity and nothing more. If I take you on it'll be with a mobile phone.

Creativity definitely wanes a little with age, but creativity is rarely original.... Ideas are formed out of chance discoveries, methodical trial and error, or the "like that, but wouldnt it be good if" principle.
When you're younger the wouldn't it be good if principle comes naturally because whenever you are faced with something new you are conditioned to throw ideas out there and test them, and to continually ask "why" but then as you get older you stop asking why and start accepting things for their face value.
You cannot force yourself to be creative, you can undo all you know with a frontal labotomy and starting asking why again, but your best bet is to deploy trial and error, dont ask yourself if something will work - instead prove that it does, or can be got to work.
Or digress into other creative techniques such as edgecraft, adding something to an existing thing, or taking something away, making it louder, make that heavy song a ballad... stuff like that.
All creativity is routed in what we know and what we ask based on what we don't know, so if you can't find a way to be creative then condition your mind to start asking why again by learning new things - read a science book - or a marketting book - or try learning a new sport or skill... Anything that doesn't come naturally to you in order to recondition your brain to start asking why again, because that's the bit of grey matter that creates things.

Well I finaly got my phone replaced so I could do a new recording, this is me ten months on playing some crap I made up, "Twiddly Dee Twiddle Doo".
The more I learn about playing guitar the more I realise that there is for me to learn. I'll never master it, but I am enjoying every moment I spend with it - which is quite a lot more moments than my playing skill suggests...

Now she walks through her sunken dream

And she's hooked to the silver screen

There is probably some deep routed psychological issue at play.
I do think that there are plenty of times when the same word can be used twice in a sentence, particularly when dealing with pronouns of course but oftentimes repetition of a word is a very effective communication tool.
I re-read paragraphs as I write them and although I usually miss spelling mistakes at this stage I do find myself removing an aweful lot of commas. It seems to me that most people write in a very stocatto way by typing out a series of thoughts and comma seperating them but natural speach flows with less stops, so I tend to go back over what i've written and remove most of the commas.
Long sentences rule.
I'd just like to point out that a few native English speakers did read the article, laughed, and didn't post.
