Quote from patchver :

xr turbo was still in demo (when did that get taken out?)

after patch x.

Quote from Finners :

Bad??

let's see...

you're a demo racer, apparently... supposedly driving the rb4, which is a s2 car. maybe we would take you seriously if you actually paid for the game.

Quote from Finners :

Preferred Car/Track: RB4

where does this leave us?

2009.

you won't find a laptop that's any good for gaming unless you spend thousands. gaming and long battery life are incompatible goals.

wmic cpu get loadpercentage

this is supposed to be a command to run on windows computers, right? for some reason it's not working on mine...

Quote from litefyre :

yeah... seeing as i just dropped $965 on tires for my truck.... lol

just think, it's ~$50, and you don't have to buy tires or gas, or fix the dents or busted glass.

what are the specs of your computer? if your computer lags hard enough, the force feedback will go funky.

Quote from PhilS13 :

Better ?

i think GK2 was better.

Quote from Shotglass :

the n900 is already pretty great but its really held back by its bulkiness and the very unresponsive touch screen which should be fixed with the capacitive screen the n9 is supposed to get
also its the only platform that doesnt come with evil built into the os

while i won't say anything about maemo, because i simply just don't know, you can't get the n900 in canada, unless you're willing to pay for an american one and use it on wind mobile... i don't think there's any other providers it will work on with full 3g service. i wanted one; i checked.

Quote from The Very End :

Alltho, it's a letdown that it's allways Scawen has to give us information / update info. Why doesn't Eric, Victor etc. posts info regarding of what to come?
Sure, I know Eric has his share of problems with the community, but beeing sillence is not the way doing it.

personally, i think all three are PR nightmares, they need someone to talk to the community for them.

because i feel the same way, i'm going to C+P what a wise person said on another forum on the subject.

why is nobody blaming the ****ing press?

dude, this **** has a congregation consisting of a whopping ****ing 30 people. He is nobody. Why the **** does anyone pay a goddamn lick of attention to anything some random nutter in bum**** Florida says?

This isn't news.
But our idiotic sensationalist media made it a story. They'll ****ing blow up any story, as long as it gets them ratings.

We're such ****ing sheep. This is a serious issue, because we drink the kool-aid the media feeds us when they tell us "zomg, this is totally significant"

Irresponsible journalism created this. 30 nobodies led by a nobody quack do something 'zomg insulting' in the middle of a ****ing swamp. Why is this news?
WHY?

This is why I don't watch the news. At all. This story should have never seen the light of day. Not because of any need to suppress this, but because 30 tambourine shaking retards in a plague-ridden shithole part of the country saying they're going to do something should, under no circumstance, be news-worthy.

****ing idiotic.

from the the time I heard this story for the first time, I knew he wasn't actually going to go through with it. he's no more of a media attention-whore than those "god hates f*gs" people, except he pulled his arab-hating BS at the "perfect" moment.

-shorten the gear ratio
-make it lower for more aero
-tweak tire pressures for traction

there's probably more that could be done, but that's a start.

Quote from ATHome :

as far as I know the finish line was behind Vettels Box and because of that, he completed an entire lap with this set of tyres.

wouldn't that be unfair, because some teams would get shafted because their pit box is after the S/F line? that's kindof a crappy rule.

whether or not LH drove where he shouldn't have, is it just me, or did it look like his steering bar was really weak? think of all the times where people bump into each other's wheels without any damage, but this time the wheel goes all wonky.

edit: why did vettel pit on the last lap? i thought you weren't allowed to do that, and that you have to do a complete lap on a tire for it to count...

Quote from Breizh :

IIRC there were more than one type of kart (something like 125cc, 250cc), along with motorcycle cartype, so it's consistent with these being unfinished models.

yes, but just because they are there doesn't mean they intended for those vehicles to be added to lfs at some point... they could have been used for internal testing.

Quote from Breizh :

(c.f. the undeveloped/unreleased models LFSTweak hints at: kart, buggy, motorcycle, etc).

those cartypes have been around for a while...

edit:

Quote :

kart(s) = mrt
buggy = lx4, lx6
saloon/touring = std/tbo, maybe the rac and fz5 too, i forget
gt = the gtr's
formula = the single seaters

i forget what the other ones are, but yeah.

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

I got my Hauppauge HD PVR today, got it up and running and ready for F1, the file size is small enough and the reliability is good enough for me to record full length races, I am even considering doing a live stream of a whole race just for fun.

(OT)

how small is small? my leadtek SD tuners (as configured) do 800mb for an hour's worth of tv, give or take a few megabytes...

Quote from sil3ntwar :

Well thats just stupid. My avatar sums up my feelings.

i agree, these content distribution systems blow. i can understand limited time offers and what not, but why would they offer a demo for a game and then rip it away after a certain period of time... people still might want to try-before-you-buy...

and they wonder why people pirate so much.

i watched the quali and after q1 i was certain ferrari would win this weekend.

why is it that they fall behind all season, but somehow at monza they pulled that 1-2 in q1 and 1,3 in q3...

i just looked at the specs... 2gb of ram? oh, dear lord. nfs world uses 1gb, and looks like utter poopy. what's with games these days?

i still have my first computer... as far as i know it still works... i know the monitor does, although the cable is starting to go on it.

it's some no-name p1-133 with one of those bastard PC-Chips motherboards... a whole 16mb of sdram, a 2mb ati video card, an awe32, and a usr 33.6k modem. got it pretty much around the time win95a was released, so for the time it was decent hardware.

i had a mmx-166 chip in it overclocked to 180 for a while, but even with the EDO ram slots, you can't get 128mb of ram into it.

now it just sits in the corner of my computer room because i can't be arsed to throw it out, or at least put it into a closet.
