Vic saves the md5()-ed password into the form again, so that the browser saves the md5 version, and not the clear text one. If you then try to login again with the saved form value, you get the md5 routine twice, and thus a wrong password...

except you manage to have a password which is the same md5-ed
May that be possible? Or is md5 guaranteed to give an other result?

Great. I just moved and can't connect my laptop to the internet (which is running LFS). And guess what - a patch comes out. I hate you Scawen

I know a site where lots of random pictures are posted. But they mostly aren't suited for minors... so... I won't post the link to it.

SOOoooo, on with my question.

Would it be possible to switch the wheel of the G25 with the DFP wheel?

Quote from JJ72 :

no, don't think so.

It in fact is possible to switch the wheels, but you have to do a lot of re-wiring and so on. I've seen pictures of it somewhere, but I can't remember where that was.

You obviously hadn't read my post in the "Rock Crawler" thread a week or so ago, hehe. Read the text I quoted from another forum .

SUV's should not be banned. That would be like saying ban sports cars because people crash from not being able to handle the extra power and speed of these cars. If you think SUV's are a risk to you sharing a road with you in your car, why not trade that car in for an SUV and be the one who is safe...

[/sorry OT]

[continuing OT]
It's completely different from saying sports cars should be banned, because with your reasoning it's the drivers' fault for crashing. My point was that due to the height of a SUV all the "hard" parts penetrate the "soft" parts of a normal car during a crash, so that is not the drivers' fault but the fault of the general construction concept of SUVs.
Even if I think SUVs are a danger to people in normal cars, I would never think of trading in a normal car for a pointless gas-guzzling lump of steel. If you want to go offroading, get a proper offroad car, if you want to drive on the street, get a proper street car. SUVs are neither good onroad nor good offroad, thus rendering them pointless. I'm happy that we don't have to many of them over here in Germany because of the petrol prices.
If you still want to defend SUVs, please name one good point about them. (And no, bling doesn't count )
[/OT]

edit: If I haven't made it clear: My point is that SUVs are a danger to other people on the road while sports cars would only endanger the driver him/herself. And btw: Which sane person would think of driving a sports car offroad. It's a bad idea even with normal road cars, so those people deserve to be punished

Quote from wheel4hummer :

I don't think a head on collision with a my dads car, and a SUV twice its weight, with both cars travelling at ~30mph would be too fun. It would basically be like hitting a wall @60mph.

Don't worry, it wouldn't be like hitting a wall. It'd just drive over you and crush you
That might be the biggest problem with SUVs, because they are that high and heavy, they and other cars can't use their crumple zones and "crash-softening" structures and crashes with them usually end really bad. SUVs should generally be banned everywhere
If you however drive ~60km/h and have a fairly new car, don't worry about hitting a wall, that might be the best crash that can happen to you

(That didn't really help you with your poster, did it? )

I never use the funny characters on forums, as i can never remember how to get them!

Hey, I even learned your funny currency symbol "£"
(They are called "Umlaut[insert plural form of your choice here]" fyi)

That looks.... interesting....
At least they stand out with that kind of livery. In other news: I like the Ferrari with less white

Quote from Dorifto12 :

hey guys this is my 1st post but anyways....
i tried the G-meter but it doesnt come out,where do i have to put the file(or files)?
do i need anything else?

RTFM!
Did you change the settings in the cfg.txt?
The G-meter files should go in LFS' dir.

Reminds me of my uncle's accident several years ago. He hit a boar full speed ahead and because car weren't built to be safe back then there was massive damage to the car. Funny thing: He was lucky wearing his seatbelt while his co-driver was lucky not wearing his seatbelt, because during the accident he got thrown out the car. And guess where the boar was...
Anyway, lucky you were driving a fairly new car and nobody (well except the doe) got hurt

44) Annoy science teachers by disproving the laws of physic.
That's something I'd really like to do though, kinda Galileo-style, so everyone declares you crazy and you'll be killed, but afterwards it's found out you were right
Maybe without getting killed

If you publish or PM the source to me, I might be able to get rid of that bug.
And I'd implement a check whether the "cfg.txt" is present or not.

Have a basic function

Depends where you want to you use it on. The vector and raster graphic example explains it well.
If you want something along a demo/techno/...-track, a sid/midi/... is as fine as a vector graphic for geometric forms. Drawback: As it gets more complex you need more cpu-power to play/render it right, which can cause disrupted playback etc.
For a song with lyrics a sample-based form would be pointless cause the vocal sample would bloat the whole file to sizes of a "normal" soundfile. You could compare that to a photo; if you convert a photo to vector you usually get larger files than with raster. Drawback: You store your file in a preset quality, so you aren't able to increase the quality afterwards if needed

Beer needs to be served cold. Period.

Quote from senn :

big spoilers are less of a hazard than popup headlights (that are banned on new cars in MOST places)

Big spoiler, and more importantly useful spoiler are way more hazardous than popup headlights. You would only use the headlights at night anyway and they cover a rather small area of the car, so in an accident it is not too probable that the person hits one. I don't know if/how they are locked, if they are out, but there might be a safety mechanism included.
The reason why nobody uses them anymore is the introduction of pedestrian safety test, where popup headlights always will get worse results. And of course, aerodynamics, popup headlights maybe one of the worst things you can do to your car aerodynamic-wise

Quote from Moonclaw :

Smoke like in Nascar Racing season 2003 looks better than LFS smoke and works better, no big fps hit unless the whole track area is covered in smoke.

Trans Am scr 1 & scr 2.

on the other hand it's "static" smoke, i.e. not affected by wind or anything. RBR does a pretty good job, but that's on dirt stages, so not really the thing we're looking for. World Racing had some nice looking smoke too, but somehow the way of it was emitted didn't feel right to me...
I have yet to see a game with a convincing smoke-engine, and I sure hope it'll be LFS

Quote from Robbie :

I think we all have to support this great game and if you can tweak all cars by S1 you can simulate the S2 cars. and the price from s1 and 2 are not realy expensive for that super simulator.

the S1 players already showed their good will by supporting the devs, I guess they have their own reason why they stick to S1. No need to make life harder for them IMO

Quote from dropin_biking :

^Yes, but still. Having more fps then what the moniter can refresh per second is un-noticable. Thats why so many people I know crank settings, and just set frame limit to 60. Because really anything over 50~ doesn't make a gameplay difference, IMO.
~Bryan~

anything over 50 is hardly noticable, anything over 60 for tfts or 85 for crts is not noticable.

Would be nice to have Mecanik along with Tweak. Like in LFSTweakPro... good ol' times

If you turn right and have this "look linked to steering axis"-option activated, you automatically look back the "right" way.

Yep, seems like it. I was kinda used to using [code]-tags for tag-description purposes on other forums. Maybe add a noparse-tag-button next to the php-tag-button?

See?
they should act like noparse tags too, don't they?
