He is correct, the iPhone isn't a smart phone. It's a glorified dumbphone with a bunch of apps.

Up until a year ago it couldn't even copy/paste...and it still can't multitask. If my phone couldn't copy/paste and multitask it would make my job suck.

That is sad

we're going to die?

Quote from 510N3D :

It didn't went dormant at all. Maybe for us, the users, but, at least according to the latest news from Scawen, it didn't, whatsoever. Besides that, I don't quite understand why "everyone" has to be kept occupied. Is there nothing else to play? I really don't get this bigotry. There are events, leagues, public servers, and if that's not enough for "you", go play something else. It's the old card I'm pulling out, yes, but it's the truth.

There is a bunch of other stuff to play and do outside of LFS, that's obvious. The fact remains that a lot of people on here have no lives and find it difficult to fathom that which is unfortunate.

Quote :

There is no lack of communication, just a huge amount of ignorance. Look at this thread, and simular ones. It's been explained, a thousand times, at least, still, as soon as the facts are been presented, someone replied as if all of this never happend.

That's the ongoing cycle of LFS development, haha.

Quote :

You really believe you could shut up (most of the) people with that, or any other step in this regard? I have my doubts...

I don't think it would make people shut up...but it would keep them occupied and at least give them something 'new' to play with and test while they wait for official 'stable' releases...hell, maybe even charge a premium for access to that, I know people wouldn't mind paying...

Quote :

Exactly, I to see the unlimited potential, but at the same time, as sad as it is, there only is a limited amount of developers and time avaiable. Still, I'm quite optimistic that LFS will grow, in time, and no matter what happens though, there always will be a group of users that are unhappy, no matter what and how often something happens, and the rest will appreciate it for what it is, because they are able to understand the framework conditions.

It will grow but it's going to be a bumpy ride if development stalls...because the community will get rambunctious, it's in the game's history.

Quote from 510N3D :

Well, some people tend to ignore, or not consider other important factors in this respect, so it only makes sense that "some" of you are losing faith at some point. LFS took a very different approach from the very beginning, and they will most likely stick to that way for a long time, which means that, the further these guys are progressing, the slower development goes.

It's easy to see why some 'lose faith' because its gone dormant, again. It's an ongoing cycle that will continue till LFS is finished. There's nothing to keep the community interested other than these obnoxious threads. If there were events and other stuff to keep everyone occupied for the time being then everyone would be too busy to complain? I don't know...it just seems like when there's a lack of communication or just things to keep everyone busy certain people break down and then everyone is influenced and these threads start to occur.

It would be neat if there was a 'bleeding edge' version of LFS released that would be online incompatible but still had to be activated. It could include a bunch of updates and other things that are unsuitable for the stable release. That would keep everyone quiet as it could be updated frequently without having to worry about quality...I don't know...the community needs something and it's pretty obvious...

I could care less either way, I follow this game only from a development standpoint. I've been around for quite some time and as of now I just have LFS installed on my travel laptop and play it quite often while I travel and it's a blast but other than that I just want to see LFS progress because I know it has unlimited potential at this point.

It works fine in Windows 7, you did something wrong.

Quote from speed1 :

I've just highlighted connected words. Maybe you should get your subconscious to stop picking your words for you.

Yes, they being 'Islamic extremists'. Why are you trying to defame what I say? My boss is a Muslim, I have this same conversation with him and he is less offended than you by what I say. For the most part, he agrees.

...I mean shit, do you not read the news? This stuff happends everywhere, there are still Islamic driven bombings elsewhere...and blah blah blah. It's all fueled by religion...it has nothing to do with your race or creed, there's crazy white people who get sucked into that stuff and blow themselves up. It's all just stupid kiddy shit when it comes down to it...and that's how I feel. I'm not saying all Muslim people are bad...I'm saying all religion is just weird and creates problems but if it makes people happy in the process so be it, I'm not going to go around and preach my views and call people stupid and ignorant because to each their own...but when a religious group goes around blowing shit up and killing random innocent people because their book says those people are evil, that's dumb, that's ridiculous dumb. I think you can at least agree with that regardless of what your views are. Think about it...going around blowing yourself to pieces killing random people just because you think they are evil...does that that sound like an awesome plan? It doesn't...it's stupid...

That's my drunken rant for the evening...

Quote from ColeusRattus :

words

But like others on here said, it has nothing to do with his faith...right?

Quote from ColeusRattus :

Would you enlighten us how exactly muslims should act to stop enforcing a stereotype?
That makes about as much sense as demanding that americans should stop enforcing the stereotype of being dumb, overweight and little informed if not wholly ignorant of the world outside of the USA's borders...

This stereotype: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=islamic+bombings

Maybe if they stopped blowing each other and innocent people up they wouldn't have that bad name on their head? Just an idea...

...I didn't say Muslim, I never used the word Muslim. I used 'Islamic extremist', I never said "all Muslim's are terrorists".

Quote from speed1 :

Thats my exact point, in reality, the guy was probably just as "American" as anyone else, but the fact that his name is Arab is going to be fodder for those who want to spread their hate for Islam.

He was another Islamic extremist...and like I said it is difficult not to stereotype when they keep enforcing the stereotype.

Quote :

Soldiers reported that the gunman shouted "Allahu Akbar!" — an Arabic phrase for "God is great!" — before opening fire, said Lt. Gen. Robert Cone, the base commander. He said officials had not confirmed that Hasan made the comment.

* * *

At least six months ago, Hasan came to the attention of law enforcement officials because of Internet postings about suicide bombings and other threats, including posts that equated suicide bombers to soldiers who throw themselves on a grenade to save the lives of their comrades.

One can only learn though true self experiences...so go get yourself a few offenses and find out first hand how it is.

Quote from speed1 :

How long until someone twists this tragedy to say all Arabs are evil? The life of anyone with an Arab sounding name in the military has just become hell.



http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8345713.stm

Maybe if they stopped letting themselves be stereotyped...oh wait, that's asking too much.

Edit, that came off as very harsh and irrational...'themselves' being Islamic extremists. Not everyone from that general region is a bad person...that's kind of obvious.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Why, I don't get wound up ever. I'm perfectly calm. I couldn't give 2 shits about Forza other than trying to help people form wasting their money on it.

For Example: Someone I know who bought a 360 and Forza 3 for Forza... is already selling it. That's a quality game if within 2 weeks the package is being sold.

I got more than 2 weeks of entertainment out of a PSP game...

Apparently the PSP is more entertaining than a 360. Top work by Turn 10 again.

Have you played Forza 3 extensively for hours? Have you been able to come up with your own opinion about it without being a daft moron? Every game has problems and bugs, even GT4. GT5 hasn't even come out yet and there is still a bunch of unknown and still a bunch of things that are just speculation but you seem to think it's god's gift to the entertainment world, why? You're too thick-headed to enjoy both? It's pretty comical how you act towards Forza. I plan to enjoy both and if GT5 is better, so be it...I'm not about to form an opinion on something that doesn't even exist yet...

Quote from G!NhO :

Damn Forza rewind shit also in GT5.

So...when you're on lap 20 of 20 on the last apex and your cat shits on your lap and you panic and vomit all over your controller...you don't want to be able to just go back 10 seconds into the race after you clean up the mess...isntead you want to do the whole 20 laps all over? Who cares if it's there...no one is forcing you to use it...it's an optional feature...

Quote from danowat :

gotta love the americans and their class action law suits.

its dumb. people are ridiculous.

You know what I'm getting tired of on the official forza forum? The insentient bitching and moaning...

http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/forums/thread/3205453.aspx

Seriously?

The game hasn't even been out for a month...who knows what Turn 10 is doing in the background...

With that logic we should of sued the LFS Dev team years ago, rofl.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Stop giving full lock to 1 way on landing to make your "sim" seem better in your mind.

...you're trying to hard.

Quote from DevilDare :

And actually, in F3 the landing isnt "place yourself where you wanted without looking like you got airborne". Upon hitting the ground the car does go out of shape a bit

I was thinking the same thing...there's been quite a few times where I come over a crest and catch some air and land...and then lose it. The gravity seems a bit on the light side but ive lost it quite a few times after landing 'funny'...

I see what you did there...you took the glass half empty approach.

Quote from lukelfs :

Not the clutch, but the Accel and brake work perfect! Makes the wheel sooo much better and its way more fun to use ,

Its just an adapter like this (This if for the MS Wheel though)

Easy enough.

Quote from lukelfs :

Wooooo, Got my G25 pedals to work with the DriveFX, feels soooo much better to drive with, only problem is that the wheels rotation is slightly larger than forza so i have a nast deadzone where the ingame steering steers no more, but the wheels steering does ,

If i mess around with the deadzone could i fix this?

Clutch and all? Details? Info?
