What flamewar? All I've seen has been discussion with varying amounts of sense. Arguments are not flaming, you can not have a discussion without them.

Considering the economical prospects of UK compared to your comrades over seas, I'd be happy for the amount of taxes you pay.
If 2007 was thought as a bad year in US, just wait for 08. The US dollar has been rubbish for years, and people have been spending money that doesn't exist. The dollar doesn't have the credibility it used to have. I think some OPEC members recently demanded get rid of using dollar, and that says enough for me.
The sad thing is that downfall in the US will affect rest of the world, so screw you and thanks!
Now now, I was referring to what the devises used to steer an automobile for the last 100 years normally has been.
So basically you are saying that it doesn't matter what kind of controller you have, it's always too unrealistic to have. So the chances are, you shouldn't play, or....let the more unrealistic options be equally fast than the more realistic?
Imo, a circular thing (even a plate) is always closer to a wheel used to steer a car than a devise which has its look from a small critter. It has the same principal, which is a circle rotating around the axle. Of course, if you use a more twisted logic, you could think the mouse as a devise used to control the driver's hand or the player. With a wheel you put yourself in the position of the driver automatically.

Start packing then. But as the host I choose the cars, and no way can be so rude I would take the honors being the crash test dummy.
No, you come here big man. Polar bears love you long time.
Yes it does. And it's not just about smoothing out sharp edges. For five star rating you must have empty crumple zone for the pedestrian head between the bonnet and the hard engine bits under it. That basically means you need to mount the engine lower or have the bonnet higher, which will obviously look silly. There is lots of other thing, like safer bumbers to protect knees and legs. I'm not sure if there is any legislation for what is illegal, but I think sharp edged boxy cars are thing of the past. Not to mention how bad aerodynamics boxes on wheels have.
edit. Better said what it's all about in the post above this. ^
Yes, got to remember it's always a question of taste. And that the pederestian safety is relatively new thing, and it might take some time to refine the designs. It might be the stuff we see now is just quick easy solutions they had to make, because usually cars are drawn years before they go to production.
Don't blame the designers, blame the marketing people who like to make them safe so they can score more points in safety tests. You can't score 5 starts if your car has dangerous edges for pederestians. 
Yeah, well, cars also become fatter (and slower, even the technology is more advanced) because adding more bits has been noticed as the best and easiest way to get more stars. Although that should be changing soon as they've finally realized it's possible to make safe light cars, which is better for performance and fuel economy. Mazda for example, lightened one of their models under 1000kg recently. Which is quite something nowdays, when even the most tiny cars weigh much over that.

I wonder if they can calculate their own fuel load or will they just spam "fuel?? plz!" every new combo. 
I really hope the splatter on the windscreen is a dirt experiment we can have soon on the cars.
And how are you going to see them while driving? :rolleyes:
Had a second, closer look at the interior and now I really want to know what the other updated interiors will look like. That level of detail is rather nice!
Sweet!
The exhaust in that car is so nice, noticed it in the videos, but looks even better now! The interior and the dirty windscreen are very nice too!

Yes, but teaching the elderly in relatively small group to use e-mail and talking face to face (well, your looking the back of the room anyway) is different than talking for a group of 23 million addicted nerds who will pick on your words and treat them like word of God, and all that from your own computer. And besides, coders don't usually become coders because they can present them self trough verbal communications do they? I would think not, but that might a nasty stereotype.
Anyway, carry on. Back on topic! Whatever that is at the moment, l33tability of LFS I guess?
I think he was just trying to sound clear and understandable as possible. Try making a voice over a video and try sound enthusiastic sitting in front of your computer talking on your own. I'm sure that you would sound the same, at least after you've twenty eight times failed to say what you wanted.
I think it used to engage clutch if you kept both buttons down, and when released go back to the gear you where on. But it was removed in one of the versions we had recently as some sort of bug or imperfection. Of course, it hadn't worked because the gear would probably be bad after a spin, but if it did put you to N it would be good enough solution I think.
No, I mean in South city, which the video was mostly about. But you probably didn't see it in S1 or did you?
Inline, or that is what wiki says.
edit. More about the K series engine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_motorcycles#K_series
Errrr....got a news source for that? Even from the baboons who run the house, that would be something extremely stupid to consider this point. Not that I wouldn't like to see it though.
It's a new thing. They've made the boxes larger to fit two cars like on all other tracks.
Btw, saw a video from S1 yesterday and I had totally forgotten that the pits where on the other side of the road back then!
I was about to respond to the "only rich g25 bastards can now recover from a spin" -matter, and say that a workaround for that would be making a system that will engage neutral when both up and downshift buttons are pressed. But this thread moves so fast, and has changed in topic I guess.
And I don't have to agree secretly with Tristan. Good post. I don't understand why anything but wheels should be favored, and why should we let minority rule?

No, sorry. That line can be found in previous versions too, been there for quite a bit I think.
Double that, I got no idea what is going on.
Sorry, not going to happen. You can find a nice quote from Scawen on that matter.
