Here's the ranking I referred too:

http://www.freedomhouse.org/re ... essurvey/allscore2005.pdf

So actually the Netherlands was on place 6 (or place 3, but they count on). And USA is down on 24.

Latest news I heard is that the French government called off the state of emergiency (is it called that way, thats how it's called in dutch anyway) so they can set an evening clock and search people's homes without warranty.

Apparently these riots don't come out of nothing, given that there is a movie from 1995 about these suburbs. I havent seen it, will try to remember it when I am at the shop next time. But maybe these riots have something to do with the fact that the extreme-right party has won a large amount of votes in the last election in France? I am not so much into the political situation of France, but there are also small riots reported in Belgium, and Belgium also saw a large increase in extreme-right voters in the last elections. Maybe the people in the suburbs feel really put aside as 3rd rang citizens by that?

I could make a comparison to what is happening in Holland at the moment. I don't think it is the same, but I think it is 'alike'. The cabinet that was installed about 2,5 years ago came with a ministry for Integration and immigration. They decided to take a lot of actions to limit the amount of immigrants and to send a lot of immigrants (who did not have a legal status yet, altough some lived in Holland for more then 5 years already) back to their native country. These measures really didnt make this cabinet very popular amongst the immigrants that came here in the last 50 years. The people that came from non-european countries feel treated as second rang civilians, even tough they can stay in Holland.
I think some groups feel attacked very fast or something, at least I dont think violence is the correct way to fight your situation, no matter how bad that situation is. Some people even found it necessary to threaten the minister to death, so she had to wear a bulletproof vest at the memoriam of Theo van Gogh last week (who was by the way slaughtered on the street by an extremist muslim 1 year ago).


Oh and about the American press... The difference with the dutch press is huge. I read an article a few weeks ago about some survey of freedom of speech. Altough American's act like they invented the word (same for democraty), the US was somewhere on the 25st spot. I think Holland, Norway, Denmark, Finnland and some other North European countries were top of the list with no 'penalty-points'. And indeed, the image we have of the US is that of FOX news. I mean, I can remember that they had an item about wether Spongebob squarepants was gay or not... illepall


Oh btw, I see CNN International has some coverage of the riots now, but I am not sure people in the US can get that (probably not).

Hm, I voted for "No, because mouse and kb are pervertions" thinking that you mean 'kb and mouse are not the way you should play a simulation', but I am not sure about that now, seeing the low number of voters for that

I also could've voted for No, for other reasons, since keyboard and to lesser extend the mouse need special code to make it easier. I think it is impossible to make it fair, so maybe you shouldn't try. On the other hand, LFS has a pretty fair system now, so... yeh, hard subject

It is not really about tire threads, but since you are interested in tires, I think this topic has some interesting information for you

Would be nice to be able to give the left wheels a different collor from the right wheels. Maybe that is the reason for the addition, unused bits?

Maybe it got something to do with the recent language patches, what version are you using?

Try sending character 0x2D or 0x7E instead of "-". Maybe - is different on your keyboard settings ...

As far as I know carbon does not suffer from fatigue effects, that is why carbon composites are so interesting for use in new aircrafts. Metal fatigue is one of the biggest challenges in aircraft design, because it is so difficult to predict. What I remember reading about this crash was that it was the same chassis as M. Schumacher crashed in the 1999 Brittish GP. The nose part was completely destroyed, so they cut the chassis right before the steering wheel, and glued a new nosecone on. Aparently the glue wasnt up for the job and snapped. That also explains why the fracture looks so clean and almost like someone used a saw to cut in two. A fatigue crack would never look like this.

I believe that was the chassis that Michael Schumacher crashed during the Brittish GP in 1999. I am not sure though, but that is what I remember reading when I saw that picture in a magazin.

Ok, but where can I get the new InSim.txt file? Afaik it doesnt come with 0.5P, so I am still using the S1 file...
Frankmd
S3 licensed
Hm, so was InSim was changed from S1 to S2? Because in the S1 insim.txt I read this:


char CName [32]; // car name

EDIT: oh, that was the Space part, never mind

I've never worked with Delphi, but I assume that getting the data from the UDP packet is done automatically, by saying that it is a TRES packet? So it will get the first 4 bytes and call it RES, and the the next 24 bytes are put into UName?

Or do you have additional code that handles that?

Quote from thisnameistaken :Happy Birthday Al

I think bird flu is all a lie anyway. Did you see that news footage of blokes in masks putting ducks in a bin? The ducks looked fine! I swear it's just some scientists thought it would be funny to put ducks in a bin, and to be fair they were right, I coudn't help laughing.



Happy b-day Al :static:

Apart from that it is documented, I dont think you will ever encounter an axis system where the Z axis is not the one in the vertical direction

If you dont post the code you use to get the verifyId from the packet we cant tell you why it is always 4. Maybe you havent counted right, and the verfiyId is the bit after or before the one that is always 4.


byte ResultNum; // position in results table (qualify may be inserted not at end)
byte NumResults; // total number of results (qualify doesn't always add a new one)
word VerifyId;

Maybe you are reading the NumResults?


EDIT: since verifyId is the last bit, I suppose you are reading the NumResults, or maybe just the first bit of verifyId? verifyId should be bit 106 and 107 (where the first one is 0).

What I ment was that if you just post an article like that without (for example) a summary, you wont get a lot of discussion.

I bet it is an interesting read, but dont you think the tone of the article is a little bit too scientific for the average forum visitor?
