I am a complete computer numpty...

I am interested to know who is making a product...I can go to the website and see various (dubious) information about their history and contact details...

What I really want to know is, who owns the site (makes the product)...and from where?

Is it possible to find this information?

(I will not say the product/site I am interested in...just hoping for some general information...so apologies for the vagueness)

Quote from cargame.nl :
And yes it are thousands of hacks (cheats is something different). And yes there can be done something about it. It starts with ideas.. Not with whining.. From former players. Size of Iracing has nothing to do with the system, no idea why you mention that anyway. Pointless.

When I said "cheats" I mean people that are cheating the system...

I agree with what Eclipsed said...the largest majority of these people would never buy LFS anyway, so you have very little to gain.

Of course the amount of people working on Iracing compared to LFS makes a difference. I see this situation in the same vain as setup stealing....Scawen could spend time preventing it but within 5 minutes some spotty kid has broken the code and within a week everyone can do it.
I do not agree with stealing software and it would not be how I would play LFS even if today was my first day...but then 24 quid is nothing in todays world of gaming and micro transactions...add-ons...etc

Again...what is to be gained by preventing people stealing it when they will never buy it anyway....why spend anytime coding or whatever when that time could be spent on actual game improvements, as a paid member I do not care about what other people do...only what I can have.

Quote from cargame.nl :Can you stop putting quotes out of context?

Ye...when you stop talking bs..sure.

YOU are discussing people from Eastern Europe...no one else!

To presume that one person ie Scawen, can "take on" hundreds or even thousands of cheats is silly...I would much rather he concentrated on content.

How many people are involved with Iracing compared to LFS?....like comparing Google to a local post office!.... sheesh.

Quote from cargame.nl :
I also know what I am talking about.

So you are proposing that Scawen should devote his time when working on this game to clamping down on crackers?

I do not agree.

Cargame.nl- Do you know what, there are people in this world that think and feel differently about things compared to you...maybe you should learn that?

Constantly attacking people that do still read or comment on this forum is not going to make them stop or change....

Everyone is different...I still read and occasionally comment because I still love this game. I met many nice people and spent many fun hours driving or helping or in-sim things or whatever...I still feel I have an association...no matter that I have not formally been online for many years.

When the time is right for me then I will be back...will you still be there?....Who knows but if you still want to comment about this, that or the other then feel free to do so!

Quote from dawesdust_12 :not to make people "faster".

Okay lets do the opposite statement then.. What if it actually makes you slower? Which I think it does. There is of course a learning curve but are people going to spend hundreds of hours in this sealed off from the outside world helmet to achieve the same results you get without such a device? Driving in a car on a track which nobody can relate to? Yes, I am skeptical about that. Not strongly negatively biased or what else. Just that it deserves not that much resources.

But hopefully this official Rift release is not more then a year away, then it will finally tell if its all worth it.

It is not a matter of whether it is worth it or not...or if it will make someone faster...(seems unlikely that you of all people would be saying this sort of thing).

Maybe you do not like the direction of development.
I could have ranted when I was playing/hosting/admining many hours everyday....along with many other people out there.

Sure, VR is of no interest to me...nor Rockingham..nor Scirocco...and I always thought the current physics were fine but the choice is not up to me or you.
Stop trying to be the leader of the people!

If I want purple hair then I will have purple hair...do you read me?

I am ignorant!
Is that really a cat?
Why is it mounted at the end of the pipe?
I thought they needed a certain amount of heat to operate effectively?
I have seen motorbikes use gauze at the pipe exit and I believe that is to stop debris entering the pipe in the event of an accident.

I agree.
Honda have been sat in the back row nodding and nudging each other about this and that..I am really looking forward to what was once a great partnership returning.

Make no mistake Honda will be throwing a massive chunk of cash at this...will Renault/Ferrari improve is the question in my mind.

RB have lost key people...Ferrari, well, no need to say much about that.

I am glad that Mcl finally decided to keep Button on, not because I am a fan or patriotic...Button is the better man for the job at hand...and he probably knows most of the Honda people....not to mention it would stink to let someone go out like that seeing that he has been in F1 for many years.

Roll on next year.

Mmm F1 thread derailed at last moments of season...
Very odd banning in my opinion (I do not know Isaac), he seems to voice the cliches we all know...and even if that was his actual opinion then what should we do?
Put him to the wall?

Today I heard that certain road signs (UK )may change...apparently someone might be associated with diminished functions with age....odd that..

Quote from Mustafur :apparently the car has had that plate for 13 years before Top gear bought it.

Either way Clarkson confirmed they will air the whole thing so this will be interesting.

I can only guess that the plate has been registered to that vehicle since new.
The first letter "H" denotes the year of registration (1990/91), the model fits that year. Even if the car had a different number plate registered later on then you can still retain the old plate...but would have to re-register to use it.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/jeremy-clarkson-might-have-broken-licence-plate-laws-on-top-gears-argentine-misadventure-9778399.html

The way I see it is...they planned to buy some older performance cars...they find and buy a 928....some bright spark noticed the number plate..."oh what hilarity will ensue if we take a trip to Argentina!"

I would not imagine for one moment that people seeing the car in the street would even take a second glance at the number plate....in any country....let alone think "hang on, they are British people and that arrangement of letters/numbers is offensive".

I do imagine a simple phone call to some Argentinian news desk could stir up some entertainment though....

I do not have an iphone...I still use a small phone that can send/receive text messages and phone calls.
I am confused by this uproar about a band giving people a free album?

Is it not just a case of delete the album if you do not like it?

Personally I like the band U2...I do not care about what they are preaching or how pretentious they are...I like the music they make...if it was an essential download and non-deletion on my PC for a PSB album I may have a different opinion... :P

Quote from Oliver Feistkorn :If Rosberg will win the championship by crashing a brit he will eventually be a proper german.

...but this time it is role reversal and they are in the same car.

In other news did I hear that Button is out/preparing to be out/expecting to be out/etc.?
No doubt Honda are throwing some money in for next year....

Quote from CrAZySkyPimp :With this you just contradicted everything you've been saying here. You're just mad yer boy was the one caught on the bad side of the incident.

I do not think so.
Even if Hamilton had left room there was never a pass possible...for that left or the next right...or even the right after.
To me it was just daft for Rosberg to leave his nose in there, especially so early in the race, all he had to do was hop the kerb and press on (as in the Schuie vid earlier).

I do not think Rosberg has achieved anything positive by doing that, it is not like Hamilton has been taught a lesson or something....no more than doing the same to any other aggressive driver would.
Rosberg is a different type of driver compared to Hamilton and they both know it, clearly Rosberg is not quite so adept at the Hamilton style and vice versa....stick to what you do best is what I would say to Rosberg....plonker.

Oh and the place I was born has not affected my opinion, I do not support/favour any driver and I am not patriotic.

Quote from ColeusRattus :Also, quite hard to read, but I think it says "ambulance" next to the indicator. Thus I presume that's a shot of one of those "how hard can it be?" challenges, where they have to build some rescue vehicles. Especially since there are emergency vehicle lights and some kind of retractable plow on it.

Yes the number 999 is the phone number for emergency services in the UK.
