Quote from dawesdust_12 :... Macbook or Macbook Pro's are where stuff become useful.

No, the whole Apple laptop line has been driven to shit quality and performance wise. Unibody engineering, meh. Glossy screens, meh. No user-replacable batteries, meh. SD card reader instead of ExpressCard slot, Jesus Christ on a hooverbike, is this is supposed to be a pro model?

That said, there isn't really any good laptops available on the market so it's a moot point.

Mac Pro is the only cost effective solution if your job consists more than blogging where Textedit on a G4 is enough.

But then again after using Win7 the OS X feels dated and I'm having doubts whether Snow Leopard will help that situation as Adobe's shaky bloatware is the bottleneck anyway in my profession.

EDIT: The 2008 model MBP is sitting next to me with a slightly ashamed look on its face.

Quote from STROBE :Uuuh, yes, obviously. I'm not going to start putting pictures of 6 year olds on the internet without the permission of their parents who in this case are my clients/customers.

Ah, I see your point now. I forgot that babies and kids are kept locked in a safe 24/7 nowadays. Carry on!

Sorry 'bout teh hueg pic dump of random axion stuff.

My agency went on a water skiing trip. She took the biggest hit of the day as I was straddling along in the boat.









Still smilin' nevertheless. I would have fixed the lifejacket double chin that was rampant on that day but I haven't got any form of image editing software on this comp.

Quote from Fordman :IMHO LFS now with all this Insim has taken away the choices of the driver, the license holder, the payer. If I joined a league I expect to be told what to drive, when and what rules and regs. On a public server, I expect to drive what I like, when I like and with what SETUP I like.

This man for president.

EDIT: Okay, chief of national security would be good enough too.

My best advice for 1st drumkit? Buy a used kit.

Check muusikoiden.net for drummer/beginner discussion and for 2nd hand market.

A used kit gets you out from the bottom of the market and a used quality kit keeps its resale value much better.

Do you need 3 toms? I'd take less toms and a good snare instead. And the low end of cymbals sound like shit compared to a few quality ones that take care of and build your kit from there on.

Quote from Crommi :Just a quick question; Everyone keeps repeating how it's a huge improvement over Vista, but all I can really notice is just new UI. Performance seems identical, compatibility with old programs is identical... so what is it then?

For me the UI itself is the killer feature - it rapes everything on the market what comes to proper productivity boosts.

Writing this on an OS X Tiger machine and the MBP next to me is running Leopard and both feel outdated, clumsy and slow compared to the 7 machine at home. The window management in Win7 is simply that good.

I'm happy to pay 399 € for the Ultimate 64-bit if there are no cheaper OEM versions or upgrades available. Considering I purchased XP OEM in the year 2001 (or 2002, can't remember), 399 € spread over eight years ain't bad at all.

Yep, I only come here for the offtopic talk and laughs.

My thoughts on topic, please don't take these as passionate rants, I'm far too sad that LFS is in this state already:

The devs not wanting to split the community into racers/everybody else within forum and via server browsing might have ironically done just that destructively - thus killing the (hardcoreish?) racing scene that in the end was the LFS's driving force community wise.

Many agrees that LFS suited their schedules well. You could have gone for a 20-lapper with pit stops or drop in for a few 3-lappers around Blackwood if you were in a hurry. Last time I remember checking out the servers took ages as list was filled with servers of obscure rules and distracting/unnecessary Insim apps enforcing yet another set of behaviour guidelines or points system or whatnot.

Personally I would have hoped that the Devs would have enforced or suggested some sort of simple and effective 'Good Server Guidelines for Easy Racing'. That would have kept the bar low for pickup racing with a known and dev-approved set of default rules that hopefully would have taken ground as a sort of default server. That way a player would not have had to jump through hoops just to get into good racing and might come back more often.

The 'Good Rules' could have been simple suggestions as 'Remember to mix combos often enough to keep content fresh and people interested' - nothing super strict.

Just... wow.

I feel sorry for the dude. He could've bought M3's for less than the price of the Clit.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :Just picked up on eBay, a lot with:

Honeywell Pentax ES (aperture-priority screwmount camera)
....
400mm tele lens of some sort (looks huge)
Soligor teleconverter of some sort

For a steal of a price. I'm a bad, bad man.

You, sir, are a disturbed individual and I praise you.

I'd say that's your best rally set so far. The tight-ish crop of the steaming front tyre/brakes is gorgeous.

Spinoff from the earlier shoot. Or the synth shots were spinoff from this one.



Oh well, she loved this one and ordered a 70 cm x 100 cm print so who am I to judge.

Have to fix the glow in her hand first as we had too much baby-oil going around.

Quote from mongoosetierney :The hub isnt powered on its own-can be though. But i have other devices plugged into it (not full up 3/4 usb slots spare) that dont drop connection.

Make it powered, private!

It's still possible it isn't giving the G25 enough juice when huuuuueg amounts of torque is needed by the FF engine and it drops out or reboots/fails to reboot when the current drops.

EDIT: Wait, what? The G25 was already power-bricked too. What was I thinking. Oh donuts there I better
