Oh OK then, mr pedantic! 
Orly?
Looks pretty darn close to me!
Street Life.
I play the street life,
Because there's no place I can go.
Street life,
And it's the only life I know.
Street life,
And there's a thousand parts to play.
Street life,
Until you play your life away.
I was going to make a park life thread but was beaten to it.

Sandwiches all round eh? 
Sorry, couldn't resist!
Sorry, couldn't resist!Yes, that does sound a lot more like game lag as opposed to web lag.
used to happen to my old PC, poor old little pentium4 was screaming its head off and couldnt cope with it lol, i used to pull to the side at the start and wait until the pack had gone, otherwise T1 would be a slideshow of stuttery sound and screens of cars at various angles, and 99% of the time after the lag had stopped i would be on my side or roof with a totalled car and other drivers shouting at me
gav's test is a good way to check for sure though, as an AI filled grid can and will lag the heck out of it if its a pc performance issue.

I think sufficient time has passed for this not to be sensitive (or useful) info anymore, so here's how you could empty an indiana jones holy grail due to a programming flaw, we had literally a day to find one and do it when the info was given to us, found 4, 2 were switched off, one had an engineer working on it and re chipping it (updating the software and fixing the hole) but the last one was turned on, and full, once in a life time stuff, nice when it works out tho.

I suppose it could be seen as morally wrong to do that, but legally speaking it isnt, as unless you are obtaining credits via deception/fraud (tampering with note acceptors) or forcibly breaking into the machine (tooling) then pulling an emptier is not a crime, as its classed as nothing more than exploiting a glitch in the software, but it will of course result in a barring (and a good kicking depending what pub youre in) if you get caught, luckily we didnt.
And how was it possible, heres the science bit
Play it on £1 a go, but only put in one pound at a time because if there are credits left in it then it wont work.
So yeah, play on buck stake until it gives a GATW (Go All The Way) machine flashes, music plays to tell you its a guaranteed jackpot board, plus is says GO ALL THE WAY! on the display, so keep pressing start and it will go all the way to jackpot.
Then you collect the £70 out, the bank needs to be empty, but alas, there are no credits left in the machine to do the repeat chance, but this is good, this is what you need in order for this to work.
Press change stake, until you are on 25p a play, then put exactly 25p in and the repeat chance will take place, it usually shows that its giving you another 10 or 15 quid, but it doesnt, eventhough you keep landing on cash amounts, you dont actually get it, but this does not matter.
Change back to £1 stake and play 1 pound coin in at a time as before, and then the next board will be a GATW again, as the combination of running out of credits, changing stake, running out of credits on 25p stake and then changing back to buck stake, plus clearing the bank out before any stake changing somehow made the machine 'forget' it had paid out, it did not register the win, and therefore is still gagging to pay out, every board will be a GATW until you stop it by either or not changing stake, or leaving credits in it, literally repeat until as near to empty as you dare leave it.
Knowing how much these machines hold when full (£350) and knowing how much is in the machine already is a must, as you do not want to IOU the unit, so if you can hear its full (coins are dropping to the bottom because the hopper is full) then you know exactly how many times you can do it before it runs out of money, which you do NOT want to do, not good, as it attracts attention.
So yeah, thats how it was possible, but as you would expect, once the manufacturers got wind of xxx amounts of units running out of money, it was a high priority update to fix the flaw, so 1 or 2 days max to find one before they were either turned off, re chipped,or removed from the premises completely, youll never find an unchipped one now.

Around mine i have, wheel bolted thru some wood because the clamp broke, a 'desk' which is an old guitar sub box (pedals are in the hole where the speaker used to be) a stack of blank CD's, transporter 1 and 2, superbad and im alan partridge DVD's, an old school text book which has cheats for quake 1 written in it, a sharpie pen, an old HDD, a fruit machine refill key, and just next to my desk is my watch, my TV remote, my bank card, and HTID 3 CD.
Not actually source code, but the carmageddon 2 car .txt files have some hidden gems sometimes.
Always makes me chuckle.

Thats EXACTLY what i have been trying to do, but with no success as yet, listening to the track you want to mix in on headphones like you would do on real decks, i cant find a way to do it with standard equipment either, so ATM i have just been relying on getting the peaks on the soundwaves aligned so its beat matched that way, which isnt ideal, but kind of works.
Nice one mark, sounds good! 
This may well be a huge, HUGE sum of text, but here goes, feel free to skip if you CBA. 
I cannot really comment in that much depth about illegal drugs, simply because i havent done em, well, maybe the odd joint as a youngster, but thats about all.
However, what i CAN comment on (and those who know me in real life can and will agree, particularly becky) is alcohol.
Its no secret to some on this board that i have had (and continue to have, to a point) issues with the drink (damn, theres a whole thread i made on it somewhere in offtopic!) and i will totally agree with what S14 said a few pages ago, which was how you feel about your life, things that have happened to you personally, and whats going on etc, affecting you attitude and therefore use of such things.
I have always enjoyed the odd pint or 2 of a weekend with a few mates down the pub, its just the way things are, the pub is the centre piece of the villiage, and its a place for youngsters, middle aged people and OAP's alike to meet, chat and socialise, a bit like the old days, everything was discussed over a beer down the boozer, go back 25 or 30 years and it was the norm everywhere.
I never drank to get drunk, i simply enjoyed a chat with folk over a nice cold pint after a hard week at work and (especially during boiling hot summer weather!) who could blame me, beer garden, sunshine, summertime, lovely.
Then, my life changed, i lost my driving license due to some silly handbrake turn related incident (nothing to do with alcohol) so instead of going out in my car with mates to cruises and stuff, i had nothing to do, and all this spare money (i sold my car as i was banned so no point keeping it) boredom, and sadness at not being able to drive, i climbed into a beer can for about a year...
Weekdays, go to work (hungover usually) home from work, dinner, telly, then id start at about 8 ish, to my room, PS2 (they were new then!) play loads of games, crisps, and a couple of cans,but over the weeks and months, the odd can turned into 2, then 3, and before i knew it, it was 8 cans of caffreys every night, but strangely i always used to go to bed fairly early, 11pm was usually as late as i would stay up, i was probably falling to sleep because of all the beer tho.
Then weekends, mindset to get as trollied as possible, over newmarket for about 8pm, pubs, clubs, kebab and then home at 5am, totally $hitfaced!
Then something else happened quite by chance, her name was mel.
She was only 5 years older than me but knew my parents as they used to go to the same pub over in soham and had become friends, i never used to go with them when they used to go over on a wednesday evening for karaoke (too engrossed in beer and playstation remember!) and on sunday, psshh, no chance, by lunchtime i was still sleeping saturday night off!
By some way or other our paths inevitably crossed (i think mum n dad had maybe told her about how i was getting and got her to have a word) and before i knew where i was me and mel were really good friends and instead of blowing £100 odd and being pissed out of my tree every weekend and vegging in my room every weeknight i was going out with mum and dad over to soham and enjoying a couple (3 max) pints in the pub and socialising, plus i had been introduced (by mel) to karaoke, i have no shame, plus it was really fun.
But then there were still the evenings where there wasnt a karaoke on anywhere and i was still drinking myself silly at home, until mel came upto me on one of the nights i was out and said, i feel that i know you well enough to say this to you now, dont waste your life sitting in your room like a sad act, youre being a ****ing idiot, why are doing it, what is the point of it, really, why drink your life away, are you just bored, or what, is having mates who care not enough for you??
And i couldnt answer it with a valid response, because she was right, and deep down, i knew she was, i simply had nought better to do, time on my hands, yeah lets have a drink after drink in my room like a recluse, it'll pass the time, nothing better to do.
So i simply found another interest, a mate of mine moved back nearer to mine, and used to help someone he knew build bangers of an evening, and so i then became danthebangerboy, building cars in the evening with me mate who used to take me with him, plus i still had my wednesday nights in the pub with parents and mel, and it worked, cant get pissed when working on cars can i?
In time i got my license back (after having to retake my test) and all was good, in hindisight i neglected mel and the pub eventually as my mates mate (now my mate) had got more committed to doing more race meetings and i was needed more there, plus i could drive again now.
Then i met my (now ex) fiancee, and we were really happy, i worshipped her and she did me, so i drifted away from racing, just wanted to be with her, plus i couldnt afford the 15 mile round trip everynight once we moved in together, which is where i went a bit off again, she lost her job, money got real tight, and i started slipping back into that ol' beer bottle in the evenings again, i was happy with her, but unhappy with the circumstances, work all day, bust my balls, but always nearly broke, beer helped block it out.
Then i realised that it was becoming an issue again and thats when i started a thread on here somewhere about it all, and although i knew it myself anyway, seeing other people offering advice helped push me into making a change, so i did.
I then ended up splitting with her and moving home, and although i was probably at my lowest ebb ever around about then, i never slipped into those old ways again, coz i know that it doesnt work!
I have been there and done it, twice, and it really is pointless, so i have kerbed the habit.
Im not going to lie, even now, i have a drink every day, one can of beer in the evening, and i am quite happy with that, because in my heart of hearts, i am most likely addicted to, or at least somewhat dependant on alcohol, but one can of lager while watching telly is much more acceptable and sensible (not to mention better for me) than multiple cans every night.
I have my weekends down the pub, where i do have 4 or 5 pints sometimes, but the difference is that i do not get drink to forget, or to get totally plastered, i just enjoy a beer socially, and thats good enough for me.
You may wonder, whatever happened to mel??
Theres a party on this saturday night, i am meeting her there, i think a good ol catchup is in order,god i have missed her!

YES!
I went and saw it yesterday in 3d, was epic!
Although that does indeed look *VERY* cool, i think its a step too far for me at the moment, my real deck setup is very basic, 2 12/10's running ortofon concordes, a 5 channel mixer (i only use 2 channels tho) and a cross fader, thats it, so thats about all i can cope with in the virtual world as well, although it would be nice if i could find a way to add kb shortcuts for punch puttons, which i cant seem to manage lol.
nah, just MP3's, having to use the virtual decks and mixer using kb and mouse at the moment, its a bit tedius to learn lol
Nah, its fine mate, bung a link up if you want, its cool.
Lol yeah, could have been an option, just hearing where i rewound it reminded me what had happened lol, the track building up as the vocals finished, then pirate avast dude started having a party, but somehow, just to be annoying, the way that VDJ records stuff is quite different in some way, it turns out it only 'hears' sounds that VDJ itself produces, so although i could hear it coming thru the speakers at the time, the avast bit cant even be heard on the recording anyway!

Exactly what i found, alot of the tracks i use are either unreleased on vinyl, or limited editions, or as you say, bloody pricey, id still much rather use my 12/10's tho, i guess im just old!
I also now remember why i did that rewind after listening to the mix back today in my car at lunchtime, just before the rewind, avast decided to do an update, and had a little shout about it, plus i have it set to pirate language, so you can just hear it saying...
*DINGDINGDING* Avast me hearties, yar blacklist of dangerous sea dogs be safely aboard.
Thats why i spun it back and restarted it before the beat came in, as i was gonna chop that part out and rejoin it during the vocal section before it, but i forgot, oh well.
