Oh, c'mon, he's AMERICAN. Odd's are he's got too many cookies as is. Give him a piece of lettuce or something.
Could I PLEEEZE have that file. That's pretty sweet.
I think you should be OK with that power supply. I remember I had an Athlon 3200+ and it was pre-tty darn slow with AI.
I'll try it with my 6800GT when I get a chance.
Yeah. This, of all things, could use it.
Yeah - the water bogs my computer down so quickly lol.
But it's not an issue of it being posted once, or twice, or twenty times. It's an issue of it being posted 20, 200 or 2000 times.
Did you make that? Or is there a place where you can download other people's creations. I've been looking for one.
OMG this is so fun, lol.
The latest poll does in fact say that most Iraqis want us out of their country. What is ridiculous is how they've managed to turn that around. Our government went ahead and said something along the lines of, "This is good news, because it shows that for the first time, the Iraqi people finally have a unified opinion - so we should stay."
WTF?!
WTF?!
That's not the argument. The argument is how many turbines would be required to replace a typical power plant. As the technology get's better, and turbine output increases, you will need less and less to match the output of a coal plant.
Well, actually, If you were to use these new mega-turbines (like the one I posted) you would need 'only' 150 to generate the same power as a 1 gigawatt Nuclear power plant. Granted, wind energy does not provide a CONSTANT flow of energy, and the turbines would not be operating at 100% output, but still - that's the raw numbers. So more like 500. The point is not to replace coal plants in major areas, where that much power is required, but more to replace those dirty, old plants in the remote areas of the world where you don't need to power an enormous, power-hungry city.
Solar power is also going to play a big role in the future. The efficiency of solar cells is consistently increasing (last I heard, there were plans to solar cells that could operate at 80% efficiency, vs the 40% which the best cells can generate right now. Couple that with hydro-power and some nuclear power plants and you've got an almost entirely green system to power most of what you need!

I wasn't disputing that fact - I was stating it. I'm on your side here! I just didn't feel like stating all the facts and figures.
Agreed. Nuclear is surely going to play an even greater energy role in the future. But people are still hung up on things like Chernobyl and 3-Mile-Island.
Yeah, but then you've got places like Denmark, Spain, Portugal and Germany who are a lot more involved.
Troubleshooting Manual:
Problem: Car does not start.
Solution: Check that batteries are inserted with correct polarity.
Ensure that battery polarity matches symbols on inside of battery cover.
Solution: Replace batteries
Unscrew battery cover. Use thumb to slide cover out and lift up. Remove dead batteries. Replace with fresh batteries, observing correct polarity. Never mix old and new batteries. Replace cover and screw.
Not really. A human being cannot continuously modulate throttle to the right and left front tires in different amounts, OR apply the brakes individually to each tire. You seem to be stuck on the idea that no system is better than a human, but that is simply not the case. The fact of the matter is that even the best driver in the world will have a much easier time getting a FWD car up a steep, snowy/icy hill WITH traction control than without it. I agree that people should be able to drive safely without these systems, but they are nonetheless useful in everyday situations even for those people who CAN drive.
At the very least, there's nothing wrong with a system that makes it that much easier for you to accelerate on a snowy road without having to fight with the throttle and steering. Obviously in LFS people enjoy this challenge, but the fact remains that in most cars in real life, these systems are not only present, but successfully reduce the number of accidents on our roads. A Subaru with VDC can be put through a much more aggressive series of evasive maneuvers than one without this system. Period.
To quote Jeremy Clarkson, "This system can make any driver look like Michael Schumacher."

Well, the problem is lot of these things are being built in Europe and other countries where people actually care about the environment and the governments are actually taking initiative. Over here, we just have our tiny little wind farms so we can say we do it too
Nokia has always been ahead of everyone in the cell-phone market. Just no one seems to know this. I will always be a loyal Nokia customer. They're like the sleeper-car of cellphones. The E90 makes mincemeat of the iPhone - and it's been around for years (well, the previous generation was - and that did it all too.)
One big turbine is less expensive than several smaller turbines, requires less manpower/machinery/time/materials to put together and maintain, is more efficient and requires less space. Plus it means you don't need a bajillion turbines on a wind farm (as pictured in the above post) for the same amount of energy. And if you still insist on stuffing the land full of them, you'll get a lot more power.
That and it just looks cool.
I know anything Logitech is likely to be good. Got a 2.0 speaker setup from from a computer build for someone - sounded good.
You think that's big... you should see the world's largest. I give you the Enercon E-126:
Have you tried simply reinstalling LFS? It sounds like something is corrupt somewhere, either with the game, or with Windows.
That was going to be my argument, but I figured some douchebag would come on and say something like "WELL, THAT ONE PLANT IS EQUIVALENT TO 50 WIND TURBINES AND I'D RATHER HAVE ONE OF THOSE THAN 50 OF THE OTHER!!!"
But I agree with you.
