Nicely played, sir.

I've no idea what that is, but make the next one something outside the UK, eh?

Quote from thisnameistaken :

The Lincoln memorial?

You got it.

Quoting the picture again is unnecessary though.

Quote from PLAYLIFE :

Had he allowed the race to continue

Prost wasn't the race marshal. His waving on the pit straight did nothing to convince anyone to stop the race.

Quote from PLAYLIFE :

let Senna and assuming he would have then finished second (collecting 6 points) he would have won the championship by 1 point.

If he had let Senna past and the race had gone on, he would also have been passed by Bellof who was even faster than Senna. Two less points, no WDC.

You don't need the CD. You rarely need the driver disc/disk for hardware anymore. Usually it's out of-date anyway and there's a newer version available online.

Go to the Logitech website and download drivers from there.

Oh and wrong forum.

Quote from Bean0 :

I think it is just that the people involved are more busy with real life or other stuff at the moment. I know at least one of them has fairly recently got a new job and has very little spare time any more.

SamH has said that he is making a dedicated attempt at clearing the backlog over the new year period, hopefully once the waiting reports are dealt with then things will tick over like they used to.

If that's the case, great - there will be no reason to make any changes and everything will be gravy.

Anybody?

I understand that the CTRA admins can only process so many reports at a time, and that you won't sacrifice quality in the face of a large backlog. We appreciate the effort being put in, but it has become abundantly clear in the last few months that the current system is lacking.

We have some reports that were filed over three months ago which still have yet to be resolved. This is a glaring issue in the whole CTRA system which has dramatic effects on day-to-day server operations. Simply put, offending drivers are not being reprimanded and disciplined for rule breakage and can in some cases continue to offend over and over without consequence. A few days or a couple weeks to process a report isn't a problem, but several months is. I have seen a few drivers repeatedly break rules, yet when called out on it by someone else in the server, they claim "I didn't know". These are very experienced (multi-year drivers) in well-established teams, so they are clearly lying about their ignorance of the rules. Yet, because they have not had any official admin response to their actions, they continue to join CTRA and break rules. This creates exactly the sort of disrespectul, unfriendly atmosphere which CTRA tries to minimize.

If rule breakers are not punished for their actions within a reasonable time frame, the rules become irrelevant. CTRA may as well be a free-for-all. Which is a shame because the CTRA system, when it works, is easily the best in LFS.

Something needs to be done to speed up the whole process. Hire a few fair-minded, experienced people in the community whose sole job is to process reports. Have them bear some of the workload that is currently resting entirely on the shoulders of the current CTRA admin team. You guys are doing a great job, but the quantity of reports necessitates changes to the system.

Meh sounds like head banging goth music.

1) Headbanging is associated with the metal scene, not the goth scene.

2) NIN is damn good.

TITS 'N ASS!

Double Bastard is beautifully magnificent beer.

I'll add a tangent question here to avoid making a new thread:

For some reason both of my burning programs say that this new drive is not capable of Disc-At-Once burning. My old burner did Disc-At-Once without issue.
The specs definitely say it's capable of DAO:

Quote :

Support Fixed Packet, Variable Packet, TAO, SAO, DAO, Random Access Write, Incremental, sequential recording restricted overwrite, Layer Jump recording, Raw Mode Burning & Over-Burn

I've gone into the drive properties but there's nothing there. Anyone know how to enable this feature?

Quote from SamH :

SO6R is now in the list of tracks for Single Seater 1

Thanks mate.

If it works, great; I'd never pay for server access though.

Agreed; the fact that we can't race XFG and XRG at AS Cadet Rev and AS North is a shame. Those are amazing combos.

Nevermind, I figured it out. Turned out to be an ID-10-T error. :dunce:

I pulled the drive out to find a little jumper bridging two pins labeled "slave". I moved the jumper to the two labeled "master", put the drive back in, booted up and everything works perfectly.

Thanks for the help.

Quote from Lateralus :

SO6R still isn't in the list. Does it have problems as well?

SamH? Anyone?

Why would the BIOS have a bug now but not two hours ago?

My old DVD writer stopped reading discs. I'd put a disc in, but it would never spin up.

I took a newer one out of another system to check to make sure it was the drive which was faulty. The new one worked fine.

I bought a new one so I could put the other good one back in the other system.

Now, however, neither of my DVD/CD drives are recognized by my computer at all. I've double-checked to make sure everything's plugged in correctly, but nothing at all shows up in Windows. In the BIOS, I have the following:

First IDE Master: Maxtor HDD
First IDE Slave: Not Installed
Second IDE Master: Seagate HDD
Second IDE Slave: Not Installed
Third IDE Master: Not Installed
Third IDE Slave: Not Installed
Fourth IDE Master: Not Installed
Fourth IDE Slave: Not Installed

My optical drivers normally showed up in the third IDE entries. If I go into Third IDE Slave and change the setting to "auto", it changes to "Third IDE Slave: S_NY". Still nothing in Windows. I restarted my PC and now it says "SONY" instead of "S_NY". Changing Third IDE Master doesn't do anything.

I have two optical drives connected: one Lite-On DVDRW drive (normally D: drive in Windows, model iHaP422-08 8), and one Sony CDRW drive (normally E: in Windows).

There's only one submenu in the BIOS which deals with optical drives at all and I've done everything I know to do in the relevant one.

When I put the other DVD writer in, I didn't have to mess with the BIOS at all; everything worked fine straight away.

I've checked that everything is plugged in correctly for a third time.

What could the problem be?

Quote from tristancliffe :

And we've seen that in a competitive car Button can go pretty quickly, but we've yet to see him in a world class car to know what he can really do (although I don't think he's champion material, but he's a notch above most of the drivers on the grid in my opinion).

Thank you. I don't understand when people rate him very poorly. He's proven time and time again that he's a very smooth fast driver, and he's sublime in the wet. His weakness seems to be that he struggles to get the most out of a bad car, which he's had for most of his career. So on that basis I'd agree that he's not quite WDC material.

AFAIK, it never has.

The UF-BR server has been fully or nearly yesterday and today, which is a nice bit more activity than what I normally see on there.

I haven't driven it in a while and I'd forgotten how much fun a big grid is with this car.

Should be fun times these next couple days.

You did.
