No matter how stupid people are, how on earth can a traffic control department be given the right to hurt people? Not even police are allowed to do that. The bollards should be programmed to not lift when something is on top of it. Which it seems is even written in law: http://www.manchestereveningne ... er_needing_treatment.html

Scumbags.

Nobody posted that yet?

WTH is going on here? Keeping people off bus lanes is now important enough to give the powers that be the right to punish people by bodily harm? One car had kids in the back and one driver smashed the windscreen with his skull. What country is this? Looks like England?

Quote from Rooble :You've obviously not had experience with C-Media drivers then!

No way can they compete with all the problems I've seen over the years with GPU drivers. I mean the mere fact that there are whole communities on the web that are based on waiting for new driver releases should speak for itself. And don't even get me started on Avivo, Purevideo and other lies, there are 138 page long threads just about getting HD Disks to play.

But what can we expect when all the so called "Hardware" websites are run by mindless FPS gamers who think everything is great as long as they get their Crysis benchmark out of a card. [/rant]

Well then why don't ATI and Nvidia make installers that remove the old drivers properly? You install an official driver and it causes the same effects as if your hardware were overheating. Is a lower standard of driver development even possible?

If that's the case then AMD have really reached a new low in the already low standards of GPU driver quality.

Woah, this is really really useful, thx.

Some quick suggestions for usability, in case you haven't thought about it yet:

-remember the mpr folder location for future use
-display names without the colour coding characters
-add a "save and load in LFS" button (preferably in a new instance of LFS in case it is already open)

Good work.

The problem with all these lane change rules (that were introduced because of Michael Schumacher after Spa '95) is that they don't state when you are allowed to move across the track. This means that waiting until someone is already slightly overlapping and then forcing him to either back off or hit the wall/grass is perfectly legitimate and is routinely practiced in all forms of real racing.

I think it's BS but what choice do you have you can get away with it? If I could make a rule it would simply be that any maneuver that forces a driver to get off the throttle (or off the track) while not yet in the normal braking zone is illegal. Easy to check with onboard camera and data recording.

Doesn't matter, if you try to find a different reason for the problem you are wasting your valuable time. Been there.

The GPU is either overheating or broken, I've seen vary similar artifacts in those cases.

Planet Terror is pretty neat. Death Proof is one of the worst films I've ever seen. Whatever happened to the Tarantino of Resevoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown? Back then the dialogs were witty and interesting, in DP and in KB they just annoy the s*** out of me, like a cheap imitation.

But what I'm really looking forward to now is of course is the full version of this guy!

Never heard of Toyota interest in DTM. Fake bodykit or something?

1) don't release demos for new games
2) find a way to convince people that free demos are in fact valuable gifts
3) ???
4) profit!

I don't quite get how they solved step 2 but it seems to have worked. Anyone know what step 3 is meant to be? More Steam accounts?

Anyway, still a better move than ATI, who actually include Steam in their friggin drivers!

If Cell is so amazing then where are all the great linux apps for the PS3? Although it could also be that open source devs just aren't capable and focussed enough to make anything innovative rather than the hardware not being good enough.

FX5200! I think you may have been underestimating the progress that GPUs have gone through over the years (much faster than CPUs). A quick google for benchmarks tells me that a 8800 GT is about 18 times faster than your card.

richy, maybe you are confused by the difference between downforce and weight. Weight is the "downforce" caused by gravity acting on the mass of the car, downforce is the force that gets added to the weight by aerodynamics, not the net total of the downwards force acting on the car.

And about torque and power. The way I make sense of the common "torque means great low end acceleration" half-knowledge (does that term exist in English?) is that when you are comparing two similar engines with similar max power and you know that one engine has more max torque than the other, then you can assume by probability that the engine with the higher max torque is likely to also have a wider power band, meaning more power than the other one at low revs --> better acceleration.

Looking at it that way catch phrases like the one posted by Rizzo make kinda sense.

For some people the fact that the HD format war is over, with Blu Ray as the winner over HD DVD may make the PS3 more interesting than it was before. AFAIK it's still the only decent Blu Ray player you can buy.

Applications don't cause BSODs, broken hardware and drivers do. My guess in RAM, run memtest overnight.
