Build yourself a PC for today, not for tommorow. Technology advances so fast nowadays that this approach is getting more and more useless.

i was under the impression that we hit an impasse, hardware-wise... i mean, isn't that why they started making the I series, and adding more cores?

i do remember reading something about it, it actually started happening in 0.6a... i think it had something to do with a line in the config file.

i noticed that this is a laptop, is the power management profile set to performance?

Can't drive XRT either, unless he renames the skin to XRG tho.

patch x. :doh:

why can people still unlock it? i'll never know.

do you use profiler at all? maybe it's set up wrong.

It starts turning from side to side like crazy, even If I'm driving in a straight line.

could your FFB be set too high?

i've never heard of it, but any image editor capable of saving to jpeg is enough, however one that supports layers (gimp/photoshop) is even better.

i have a feeling that the intel I series is going to stick around for a while, so i'd probably just leave the machine as-is and then decide whether you need an i7 or an i5, and buy a whole new machine completely.

sit on a 2x4?

i'm not sure why they recommended running linux, iptables won't save you from a DDoS. all it will do is drop the packets, but it will still consume your bandwidth. i would ask your hosting provider to see if they have any form of upstream filtering that would keep your server safe and provide the protection you need.

a push bike is a regular pedal bicycle, isn't it? the link provided doesn't work.

Quote from The Very End :

I want ze mysteries of the space to be understanded, and for that we need the space program and the pioneers.

we need faster means of interstellar propulsion, and a new means of getting spacecraft into orbit.

as it stands now, doesn't it take like a month to get to the moon?

Quote from PMD9409 :

But yet we always hear that it is the guys that are hard to find.

i'm not hard to find, i just don't have a flood of women vising for my attention. the ones i do meet either want me to wait on them hand-and-foot, or are too stuck up.

do i need a big sign saying "hey ladies, i'm 28, single, have a decent job, and i'm bored -- come chat with me!" ?

Quote from bar escapade from a couple weeks ago :

So I’m at a bar last night, minding my own business, and two women walk up to me and ask me if they can sit with me. I’m thinking “right on”. So I said yes and they introduced themselves, and some quick small talk ensued. Then they snubbed me and started talking to themselves. It was quite noisy outside, and pretty packed, so I didn’t want to prod them into talking. I finish my beer, and ask them to save my seat, which they gladly obliged. I go to the washroom and grab another beer. When I come outside, they’re sitting with two more people, and I’m thinking “what gives?”. “Oh, I’m sorry, I thought you left” they said. Right.
If all they wanted was a place to sit down, why didn’t they just ask if the seats were taken, as opposed to asking to sit with me? Oy.

sure, it was a busy night, but i honestly don't think they would have said anything at all, if all they wanted were the seats. i've been to that bar quite a bit and that was the only time a woman other than the bartenders have talked to me.

one of the biggest problems i have with dating is that women want jerks, and then they want someone who isn't a jerk. the nice guy gets attention, but then the woman gets bored and goes looking for a jerk. so the jerks get laid, and the nice guys get the royal screwjob. they can't have it both ways...

Vettel's time last year was 1:29.613, so no.

Now the start/finish line wasn't at the same place, but I don't know if it affected the times, and AFAIK there wasn't any other layout modification apart from that.

not to mention, the cars aren't the same year-to-year. i wouldn't exactly call these PB's " "official" "lap records" "

separate the ports more. try something like 15000 and 25000.

Quote from The Very End :

Anyone care to tell me the background story for this launch? What is the goal with it?

it's the last one nasa is launching with their current fleet of spacecraft. they're going to have to rely on the russians for a while unless civilians discover an easy way to get up there. speaking of which, what ever happened to that space elevator idea?

as for the goal, did they ever need a goal to go into space?

Quote from The Very End :

but when going online the majority of people playing plays on cruise servers.

that's not really the cruiser's (or the server operator's) fault though, is it? it does say something about the state of lfs these days though.

that said, how many threads do you need about this server... haven't you gotten enough bad publicity from stealing layouts and/or insim applications?

redbull's pretty much won this year already. i'll probably end up watching the race, but i don't have the same enthusiasm i did at the beginning of the season.

that sucks. so much for my lifelong dream of travelling through europe.

cheers

What good is a XRT skin to a Demo player?

some numpties still like to play patch x, because they can drive the xrt. why patch x can still be unlocked, i'll never know.
