Yes, I'm aware that I'm privileged and perhaps "not one to to speak", if that's your point (because I'm not quite sure).
Thanks for highlighting my point of view though -- That the discussions in Sweden, as well as the one in this thread, are important.
I'm sorry (and a bit suprised) if you took offence.
I hear ya. I never meant to take a stance in the discussion regarding foreign/migrant workers, though. Sorry if I did. But that matter (politics), and the matter of racism (ideology), are two separate things in my point of view.
Bottom line:
I know now that I've might have jumped in at the deep end with my comments. I must admit I did not give them a lot of thought. But I think that's just how I am. I go by my gut. I'm not well-read enough to get into the hardcore political discussion but I do trust my instincts when it comes to spotting prejudice and a-hole behavior.
Though I'm not perfect. I've got lots to learn. That's why I'm thankful these discussions crop up (edit: and I obviously do not mind when someone (in this case, the LFS forum moderators) stands up for what also I happen to think is right).
Haha, you got me! The fact that, in Chrome, the "text" was a bit mis-aligned gave it away.
Nice one!
Wasn't planning to post in this thread but since y'all got me started -- In the last election in Sweden an absurd, right-wing party made it into government. Since then, and especially during the last year the discussion about racism really took off. Which, without taking sides, is a good thing. It allows people to actually think about what they think, say and how they act.
To me, it's not just about the blunt, full on racism. It's also about the small things, such as the comment that Scawen acted upon.
FWIW, I support Scawen's (and co's?) initiative to bite such behaviour in the bud.
Kind of hard to say what movies to mention since I'm not sure which movies you made but here's the ones that was posted at liveforspeed.se at some point (could be relevant, I guess):

.. And here's the ones on my disk (probably less relevant):
Hm, according to netmarketshare, perhaps. But as Bean0 pointed out earlier in this thread; XP usage is down to about 7% percent according to Valve. Who probably has a better representation of gamers' PC rigs than any other source.
(You can click on the "Windows Version" row to expand it.)
I'm not saying that LFS should drop XP support. I just don't want to see crazy figures in this thread.
Edit: you mean this (referring to this). I seriously doubt that's the "real" Scawen. If the LFS devs were active in social medias surely they'd let us know officially with a link on the front page of lfs.net, for example.
Edit 2: According to Flame it actually is Scawen. Well then that's awesome news and I stand corrected!
HWX_eXcluded fick tag på mig via mail och förklarade problematiken.
Jag skrev ett eget antispam-skydd som helt enkelt stoppar dig om du misslyckas med registreringen för många gånger. Problemet var att jag missat att webbläsaren gör ett gäng ajax-anrop till webservern när man matar in sitt användarnamn och lösenord vilket ledde till att skyddet slogs på alldeles för tidigt.
For the others reading this thread: Turns out IPwnYourAssOff is using a 4G Mobile Broadband.
In my experience, it's very hard to make a mobile data connection stable enough for flawless online gaming. Granted, there are some things you can try:
Try different placements of the Modem or Router
Switch from 4G to 3G
Try different MTU settings (but that might make things even worse!).
That's my take on the problem.
Perhaps someone else has overcome stability issues with mobile broadband and can think of something I left out?
Are you sure it says "världen" (the world)? I bet it actually says "värden" (the host)
Anyho,
I noticed that you've been online at "layout test" for quite a while now. Is that a server that you are hosting locally or is it a remote server?
I don't think pingtest.net won't be of much help since I think it only measures ping response times. The stability of your connection is more interesting.
To start off, I'd suggest the following.
Before you start LFS, bring up a command prompt and type:
ping -t google.se
The -t switch will keep the ping loop running continuously, so while it's still running, start LFS and connect to a remote host. Should the connection fail, quit/alt-tab out of LFS and have a look at the output of the ping command (also scroll up a bit and look at the previous messages). Is it displaying response times or error messages?
If everything is looking fine in the ping output, something weird is going on with LFS or the connection to the particular host you were connected to.
If the ping command also fails, something is most likely wrong with the connection to your router or the router's connection to the internet.
The postcards (although they are tiny) over at lfs shop are both candidates I guess. Perhaps Vic would be willing to print a few A2/A1's if he gets enough pre-orders.
Hehe, yeah i know! I did read about this back in December when Scawen started working on the project but I never got to try it out until now.
I figured i'ts good for all of us to let him know that this version of the dedicated host is appreciated!
Did someone figure out if it's possible to entirely disable sound in wine though? To get rid of the error message at startup time and perhaps save a few Ks of memory?
Thank you for this. It's to be able to put all your servers in screen and to be able to see what's going on in real time without having to tail output files.
I will be using this (until there is a native linux version, hehe!)
