The proliferation of weapons (especially in moron's hands) is a good tool against over-population so i'd say yes

Quote from DAG00BER :why dont people just race, not cruise? to my knowledge this is a RACING sim. there are far too many cruise servers.:hypnotize

Because people are free to do whatever they want (maybe not everything ) during their freetime and it 's not your business

I'm an agnostic but even if there is anything like a/several conscious god(s) there's no way I'm gonna bow in front of him/them.

Quote from thisnameistaken :All the "great" empires achieved all their "great" achievements using nothing more mystical or mysterious than slavery.

Well actually pyramids ( at least for the keops one) were built by employees not by slaves.

Quote from Becky Rose :And moving faster than 30mph will peel your face off and your bones will crush.

There are also contrasting theories on this now - whichever you accept is valid is irrellevent because when practical and applicable technology reaches that point it will probably be some currently unknown theory that does it - but in theory it can be done with current technology but there is of course things we dont understand - like what happens when reaching light speed it's as unknown as the sound barrier was in the 40's-50's.

We know that speed relates to time also, and that the faster you go the slower time moves. At this point my brain stops working when I try to fathom out what might happen.

From the point of view of the traveller it will appear to him that he is going much much faster than light even if he travel at 99.99% of light speed cause of the time distorsion. By getting closer he might see the whole life of the universe in one seconds and have crossed all the universe in that seconds.

Problem with light speed is that everything tends to the infinite. Time slowdown, energy involve, mass of the traveller but who knows

Quote from lerts :the one who mentioned faster than light wasnt posible, eisntin also talked of a way thorugh, wormholes

It's not going faster than light. It's taking a shortcut.
You see the difference there?

Quote from Becky Rose :Actually a theoretical model of a faster than light space ship does exist, not just one either. We havnt/cant build any yet. The same is true for time travel, the theory appears sound, just not very practical.

There is no reason to assume faster than light travel is impossible. People thought 30mph would be impossible to beat once, then there was the speed of sound. Sure there will be problems, and a few Chuck Norris test pilots are going to die horrible and painful deaths just like when we broke the sound barrier, but it'll happen if we as a species don't blow ourselves up first.

Well travelling faster than light is impossible under the current relativity theory (which seems pretty solid now). Going at light speed would already require an infinite quantity of energy.

What we could do however is shortening the distance.

The universe also appear to be close. If you were going perfectly straight for a very long time you would come back exactly to the point where you came from. By going faster than light you'd probably get out whoever knows where

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :If there is intelligent life in the universe that is more advanced than we are, they have probably got no need to leave their planet or solar system, and are clever enough to stay hidden from violent species like ourselfs. Many people, myself included, think its crazy to just broadcast our location into space, its like running into a cage of hungry tigers dressed as a zebra screaming "DO YOU WANT TO BE FRIENDS?!".

Why would they be hostile?

Most of conflict are ressources or space driven. Ones you get a complete access to space it shoudn't be a problem anymore (unless if space is already overcrowded )

Conflicts can also be about beliefs. Hopefully there's not too much fanatical aliens outthere

The powerboost thing sounds like a very good idea. Would be cool to have a car with that option in LFS.

Very impressive.

On south city with those new interior + setting max LFS is just the most beautiful sim outthere.

I though that patch Z would be utter shit but it appear that I was utterly wrong

I wonder about the quality of the simulator behind this machine and how can they create a 2G effect in turns? It's possible to create iinstantaneous G force of more than 1 G but for a continuous effect you need a centrifuge!

I passed my licence at the end of march 2007 (i'm 28) and I haven't used it so far. It's just to expensive nowadays.

Well I like it. Definitively not the best movie ever but it's an indiana jones.

IMO he have succeeded in the sense that he have respected the serie's codes. It looks old and modern at the same time.

When I saw it, I was pretty sure that the fantastic element of this indiana jones would pissed some people. Well, when it comes to mayans, you can't really go somewhere else in that matter.

I don't have much expectation from LFS anymore.

The actual Yxx test patches wiped my hopes for any improvements away.

It looks so much like the V patch devellopement except that this time the new things are just useless.

Well I don't care that much I had a lot of fun with it and it was worth every cents I put in it. It's still a good rrelaxation tool.

Quote from anbiddulph :2200bhp, most powerfull road legal car.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=urXPM_P-8kY

How can something that powerful be road legal?

I mean when I saw monster truck which were 1600 bhp, even being something like 50 m away I had to block my ear cause the noise was painful.

If the guy goes full trottle in the street with such a car anybody nearby would be deaf!

Quote from Trekkerfahrer :this is a simple thing... use any virtual keyboard and write down your credit card number on notepad with it. then simply copy/paste it and all is fine (for more safety place a few more spaces (i.e. make 2 number blocks instead of the 4 number blocks) in the number that noone can see if its a credit card number).

more safely than credit cards isn`t possible, because all transactions are insured

Well that's right but still it can be annoying to lose (even temporary) some money. It happened to me for something like 300 euros and it tooks me 1 month and a half to get my money back and some other complaints toward my banker cause they forget to refund me the interests paid for the overdraft it created.

And for the notepad thing unless you're able to encrypt what is stored in the memory during the copy/past it can also be loged.

Still there's the Keylogers problem.

Protx might be hackproof, most of people's computers are not.

It would be better if the website could use something similar to what my bank uses to input your code. Some kind of virtual keybord (only with numbers) appears on the screen so that you can click the number and not type them. The number position changes all the time.

Quote from deggis :Same video but with correct aspect ratio: http://youtube.com/watch?v=C3KUfd4v0Gg

It's old. When I first saw it I was kind of disappointed... "real simulator by F1 team" makes you just think it would be something much much more über.

I'd like to see similar video from the super duper top secret McLaren sim.

And here it is :



but shut it's a secret!

Quote from mxpxun :thats maybe because those games where made in old times when graphics where very ugly and everybody was happy about that , but in thees days nobody is playing game like zelda because of it poor graphics (2d, lots of squares and no cool effects).

I finished it again (zelda 1 - NES) 1 year ago and it still an awsome game.

Quote from S3ANPukekoh3 :Yeh, I Agree. The BF1 isn't exactly slow either...So theres no need for a veyron, it would be cool though.

My interest for the veyron is not about it being fast but fat!

40 peoples in their team. That's a starcraft 2 size team.

With a raw estimation I would say they need something like a 15 000 / 20 000 permanent userbase just to stay alive after having recovered their pre-gold release devellopement cost.

That's going to be tough with such pricing even if the game end up to be the graal of sim racing.
