Am I the only one who doesnt want Barrichello back? He hasn't done anything decent since he left Ferrari and even then he was pretty average. I wonder how long teams are going to drag him around the back of the grid for before we get some fresh faces (hopefully not the over hyped fresh faces either).

The thing about goldfish having a 3 second memory also isn't true. And the Howrad Bridge carries over 150,000 vehicles a day not 57,000 and thats still not the busiest bridge as the George Washington Bridge carries almost 300,000 cars a day unless you include pedestrians on the Howrah as it transports 4 million a day

Cant wait to see what the new release is like. The only problem is you need a hefty cpu to play it. Well probably average by todays standards but im always 10 years behind in technology

Well i probably should have replied to this a bit earlier! Accomodation has been booked for us at the YMCA (nice and cheap i guess) and there were plans for us to go to Genting Highlands but i dont think this is happening anymore. A tour of Malacca was thrown up as well but i dont know what that would be like.

My plans are to get to Batu Caves, Sunway Lagoon and hopefully up to the Cameroon Highlands although i dont know if i can do it.

Our Trainer who is organising this has to do it from overseas and the 10 of us that are going dont know each other that well and havent been emailing each other as to whats happening (or at least i havent been told) so it seems like we are going to get there and just wing it!

Will be staying overnight in KL on the 5th but wont be spending a decent amount of time in KL until the 24th.

Quote from Intrepid :Having looked at some of the grid I am not overly excited.

The real pick is Jason Moore. He won FPA last year, and is a class act that could come in under the radar.

I really dislike the sharing of data. I feel this is not the way to develop a driver. For example in LFS how many people on here really KNOW how to set up a car. There is only a select few who can.

Drivers on sims can get all the data, and replay vids they wish but even if you can get a WR your not really learning anything. Put that driver in a situation where he has to start from scratch and he are lost.

I like some parts of F2, but I wouldn't get carried away with it in terms of quality. There's some good drivers in there but it needs a few years

All i read was that sharing of data is optional and no driver is forced to give it away. I see nothing wrong with that.

I moved last week and its a right pain in the ass. Have fun finding those important items lost at the bottom of some random box you cant find!

I was getting excited. But then i saw they are proper race cars. We have enough simulation of racing cars we need some proper simulation of the cars NFS has been using for years without all the silly modifications. And racing through the city? Why cant we race a long the coast or through the mountains?

Being rather bored i thought i would look up the differing ways to say animal noises around the world. Wasnt actually as easy as i thought but i finally managed to find this interview and rather amusing video so i thought i would share. Some really odd ones from Japan!

And the researchers website with a list of animals and their sounds. http://www.eleceng.adelaide.ed ... sonal/dabbott/animal.html

I was watching some urban legends program (really crap program btw) and they had someone who was runover by a steamroller and survived.

Alarm für Cobra 11. There are two or maybe even 3 games now. Only tried the first two and they are really quite good for a bit of fun. Handling is easy but not all that arcadish.

I was impatient and reset it soon after posting. I got a few blue screens before it even got close to the desktop then it seemed to work the third time and it said the restore had been complete just had no mouse and keyboard working which means my plan failed. Guess i'll have to throw xp back on.
Vista Restore problem

Ok i just tried to hook a ps3 controller to my pc and it kinda fk'ed it up so now the keyboard doesnt work and the mouse works occasionly. I read that this can happen and theres no way out of it. Luckily i just downloaded and installed netkar pro 5 minutes earlier and installing diectx created a restore point. So i figured i would give it a go and started the restore and walked away.

I come back 5 - 10 minutes later to see Vista sitting at the welcome screen as if its trying to load back into the desktop. So i leave it to do its thing again and now my monitor has gone to sleep and i cant wake it up and i have no idea if the restore worked or not.
So heres the question. Do i reset the pc? Could this totally bugger things up seen as it might have been in the middle of restoring or do i leave it and hope it all turns out ok. Also can i wake my monitor up without inputs from either keyboard or mouse (which arent working it seems)
4 Nights in Kuala Lumpur

Im heading off to China (hainan) for a month in february (for some thai boxing training) and on my way back im spending 4 nights in KL. Does any one know of anything exciting or what i can do to keep myself entertained while im there. From what my dad has said KL is pretty boring and im better off flying down to Singapore. Right now Singapore seems like the best option as its cheap to get down there and i know i wont be bored but i thought i would ask in case im going to miss out on a good time in KL.

This is quite strange. I have just been playing OFP and i plugged in my joystick and have done nothing but fly the helicopters around for hours on end wishing there was a game dedicated to it. And then i come here and find this. But I have an Athlon XP 2500 so i dont think i can run it

One that comes to mind (out of millions of frustrating moments) is the last level in far cry. I decided i would finish far cry for the first time a few weeks ago and i did it on the hardest setting. I must have tried 50 times to get past those big dudes with the rocket launchers. Far Cry was a good game until those mutants turned up.

And a prince of persia game i was playing on ps2 required me to do a jump right after a save game that i didnt have enough health for. Either that or i was doing it wrong either way i gave up.

I see no point in installing other browsers when IE works fine. Firefox and Opera have always had just as many problems so there was no need to waste the extra space.
