Another request...

A guy who's committed a serious crime (something like armed robbery or murder) is trying to get away from the police but they have road blocks set up. So, he goes to the nearest park (national park maybe?) and joins a group of climbers to try and disguise himself. Someone (maybe a park ranger or a local policeman) figures this out and goes after the guy. I've got a feeling there's a rope bridge or small cable car type thing involved somehow, but not sure. I think it's probably from the mid '90s and it's American.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

edit: It's not Cliffhanger.

Wayne Rainey and Alex Zanardi are another couple of well-known racers who've adapted hand controls to drive karts/cars after losing control of their legs.

I haven't seen the documentary in the OP, but it sounds like a few other films, such as:

Food, Inc.
The Corporation

Quote from S14 DRIFT :Modern day computers don't really suffer from IRQ Conflicts. At least that's what I have picked up on. That's more computer sciences stuff which isn't something which I know a lot about but doubt it would be that as apparently pretty much all devices need to be able to operate on the same IRQ without causing conflicts...

There are well over half a million Google results containing "windows 7" and "irq conflict". They may not be as common as they once were, but they can still potentially cause problems and are worth eliminating as the source.

Good luck and enjoy yourself!

This is a semi-logical stab in the dark but have you looked into it being a possible IRQ (Interrupt ReQuest) conflict? It could be that your mouse is conflicting with another piece of hardware and causing problems. If it's only just started happening and you haven't made any changes recently this is probably a long shot, but it's worth eliminating anyway. The procedure for identifying IRQ conflict depends on your Windows version, so try Googling for your OS version along with "diagnose IRQ problem" (or something similar).

Quote from BlueFlame :Well, clearly it would be a fire caused by an explosion, rather than a fire that's been ignited and burning constantly.

Given S14's confusion over definitions I wanted him to try and explain what he was thinking.

Quote from BlueFlame :Besides, to think diesel leaking from an injector is just going to create a fire is quite naive. There's plenty of old diesel motors running around where the injectors seap diesel out with no fire.

A little diesel seeping from a dodgy seal or joint is different from atomised/aerosolised diesel being sprayed over the engine bay. What temperature would the exhaust manifold be during normal running? What is the autoignition temperature of diesel?

Listen, you can think there won't be a fire as much as you like, but consider this: Why would the manufacturer concede that a fire was possible if it wasn't?

Quote from S14 DRIFT :Only saying what I read! But I agree with Jake, you won't get a fire (as in an explosive fire) in a diesel. The most likely thing to catch fire would be a joint such as a siezed C.V joint, read it happened to some guy while driving down the motorway!

What do you mean by "an explosive fire"?

Quote from S14 DRIFT :If you set fire to a diesel engine it will burn but it won't combust, if that makes sense.

It doesn't.

If you get a pot, put some diesel in it and put the pot on an electric cooker and turn on the electric cooker there will come a point (called the autoignition temperature) when the diesel gets so hot that it catches fire without an external ignition source (such as a spark or a naked flame). In a scenario where diesel is aerosolised/atomised by a fracture in a high pressure fuel line (which is what the article and recall notice warn of) the autoignition temperature could be even lower than the normal autoignition temperature.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :The reason I was aware of the recall being placed was that it was because the engine can cut out leaving people stranded; no risk of fire was mentioned.

The body of the article above and the recall notice itself both mention fire as a possible consequence.

Quote from [RCG]Boosted :cant...diesel itself doesnt burn at all.

I can't tell if you're being serious or sarcastic. In any case (from a quick Google search):

Quote from http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2005/EileenTang.shtml :Autoignition temperature is the temperature at which a substance can be brought to flames without any sort of external force, such as a flame or spark. There are three different types of diesel fuel. These are Diesel No. 1, Diesel No. 2, and Diesel No. 4. The ignition temperature of Diesel fuel No.1 ranges from 450 to 602 Kelvin, Diesel fuel No. 2 ranges from 527 to 558 Kelvin, and Diesel fuel No .4 is 536 Kelvin.

Quote from BlueFlame :I call bullshit. Injector fault isn't going to cause fire on a diesel engined car. It may cause SMOKE, but it won't cause a fire.

The autoignition temperature of diesel is around 200 degrees Celsius. It's not out of the realms of possibility for a faulty fuel line to spray atomised diesel over hot parts of the engine bay (e.g. exhaust manifold), causing a flash fire.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol: Best action flick I've seen in a long time, even with Cruise's presence. Easily worth the $$$ to see at the theater, which is a rare thing these days.

Really? I saw it at the cinema too (on a very large screen with a very loud sound system) but I just couldn't get into it. The best aspect would probably be the gunfire, which was very visceral with the sound system. I just couldn't connect with the characters or the story and I couldn't overlook the really glaring holes.

Spoiler:

One of the holes is the fact that the "nextgen" security system in the hotel has all kinds of defences, such as infrared sensors in the elevator shafts. However, breaking the window to the server room doesn't set off any kind of alarm. Come on...

Quote from Kristi :Hey guys. Why are you actually so bothered about using fuel while idling? I mean.. this is a racing simulator.. You gotta be so bored.

It's more about deficiencies in the modelling of certain aspects of LFS (and what knock-on consequences those deficiencies may have) than it is about just how much fuel you use while idling.
