well.. there IS a way to do it. a nice (ati eyefinity, like a 5850) with 0db.
Just put the computer in ANOTHER ROOM.
Really - make a hole in the wall, pass all the needed cabels through said hole, close hole, voila. Computer in one room, everything else in another.
OR... do it like I've seen it - fill a fish tank with oil, submerge computer in oil, get a water cooling rig up to circulate and cool the oil.

Mine is the one on the LEFT (52-JO-00). I got rid of the one on the right (20-81-XE).
The WHOLE difference between Massa and Hamilton / Kovalalalailainnnenenenn (I MAY have mistyped that)is that in Kovalala's case, the driver very willingly moved over. That is, he deliberatly let his teammate pass, and it did not appear reluctante. Meaning, it looks like it was Kovalainen's decision. Plus, Hamilton at that time WAS much much faster, and just drove off into the horizon.
In massa's case, he was very clearly reluctant as hell to move over (I doubt that was the first time his engineer told him alonso was faster), then did it deliberatly (like Barrichelo did), to show EVERYONE he was not happy with it. Worse still, he managed to keep up with alonso, just left a gap big enough that he did not have to drive in most of the dirty air.
So its clearly apples and oranges here. This has also happened in this season - mclaren drivers are very obviously being told to "save fuel" when it really means "dont overtake each other". However, they do have a go at each other. The MAIN difference here is that standing team orders are ok (and there is no way of checking that, really), but active "do this or Ill have your hide" in-race orders are a no-no.
"Alonso is faster" is a blatant LIE, as he was NOT faster. (at least not THAT much faster).
If rob smedly had told massa "alonso is in danger of getting overtaken. if he passes you, you can bottle up vettel so we get a 1-2", massa might of his own accord drop back to bottle up vettel, and the fans would not be angry. That would be good, smart team management. This was just idiotic, cause theres NO FREAKING POINT. Alonso is not gotta get WDC, Massa is now PISSED, Ferrari just created a huge rift in the pit, and next race massa and alonso might come to blows, Redbull style.
Thats a wrong argument, blueflame.
And here's my usual counter argument:
I bought Bioshock. Around 60€. Hours played? 16h.
Wow: 60€. + 120€ / year.
In the first year, I had played 900h of that game. (thats 2 and a half hours on average per day - and thats not much. When I was raiding during year 2-5 it was easily twice that).
Bioshock:
60€ / 16h of fun: 3.75€ per hour.
Wow:
180€ / 900h of fun: 0.2€ per hour.
Methinks WoW is CHEAPER. And believe me, MORE fun. PLUS, with wow, since you will spend nearly all your computer-gaming time on it, you buy no other games, saving you even more moneh.
Remeber, MMORGs (and iRacing, too) supply a SERVICE. The game is ALWAYS getting bigger, so you have new stuff to do constantly. If there is no new stuff, people stop playing, as they "finish"(in a MMORG - do everything there is to do) the game. Trick is to never let the players finish - keep making new stuff. THAT is the service you pay 10€/month for.

I played wow for over 5 years. I was in a Server-first boss kill kinda guild the entire time. I had the best equip there was, period. Enemies mounted up and ran whenever I showed up to fight. I was TEH BOMB.
I was (and still am) also married with 1 kid. My second kid was literally MADE during a raid. (Yes, I was tanking a boss while having sex - and yes, we did kill the boss).
Shock.
Horror.
Stereotype moar?

wow.... A helicopter armed with an external fuel tank, an external Infra Red scope.. and a couple machineguns. Now THAT is heavy duty!
hahah 140k€ gets you a 2 room apartment here... if you are lucky and shop around a lot.
lol @ alonso - that is the top of sore loosers. First he was all "press the stewards, he DELIBERATLY backed me up so I couldnt pass the safety car". Then after, after eveyrone saw it was marginal at best, and the fault of a rushed SC out of the pits, it was all like "awww his penalty wasnt enought".
Well.. his penalty WAS appropriate, simply cause it was MARGINAL. Same as the 5 sec penalty for those cars. It was marginal for them, too - they assumed that as they were finishing the lap (and prolly heard on the radio the accident was BEHIND), they didnt have to conform to the delta time. However, ALL of them slowed down (you could see it from their laptimes) - they just missed the delta time cause otherwise (button especially as he was in the fast straight feeding into the last corner) they would have to go dangerously slow.... with other cars behind them - not knowing if those cars behind will understand why he is suddenly slowing from 300kph to 150...

Btw, what helmet cam were you using? Im trying to get a rig to work - need advice

decrease wing area by 30%. Increase tyre width by 15%. remove double diffuser. Remove wooden plank (allowing ground effect). Remove sidepod bargeboards.
Allow front and rear wing angle change from cockpit.
Presto. aero efficiency dropped, mecanical grip increased, non-turbulent air generating aero forces created (ground effect).
Plus, drivers could put wings at lower angle to aid overtaking.

Is it just me... or do Felipe Massa's eyebrows look just WRONG in the post-race interview? go look at it again - they dont move at all. 
(problably an aftereffect of having a spring destroy that area :nod

Slow in, fast out is the 1st part of being fast.
Once you do that well, you'll see a significant drop in laptimes, bringing you up near the "godlike" laptimes.
THEN, to get up to the very top, you have to increase the speed into the corner. just like Mansell said.
A fast driver goes slow in fast out.
The fastest one goes fast in, slower inside, fast out.
Its the difference between starting to brake and power on that gives you the final .5secs/lap.
The 3-4secs / lap improvement is simply braking earlier than you'd think, and approach the corner slower than you'd think is needed.
BUUUTTT... if you go 3km/h too fast into the corner... you'll loose between .3 and .5 of a second on that corner alone. So dont push it.

Just a quick word, arox.
This is NOT /b/. We are slightly older than the 12 y olds recycling jokes that are as old as they are.
No more Memes, pls.

it MIGHT float IF and only IF it was stiff. As in a metal ring. THEN gravity would work equally from all sides and cancel out. The same principle is applied in bridge building, but only to the point of transfering the weight of the bridge down to the pillers and the top stone.
BUT.. since gravity isnt the same everywhere on the earth... some odd stuff would happen.

All safety issues aside, its moronic to go down a hill in neutral for this single reason:
Going downhill in neutral uses gas.
Going while engine braking uses _NO_ gas. zero. zilch.nada.
The weight and inertia of the car is pushing the wheels, and the ECU just turns off ALL fuel to the engine. You will be driving for free!
What eats fuel is your right foot, so higher revs, less throttle. The less you push the accelerator down, the better.

Aka "driving the nuts off the car".
Usually the drivers that end up driving half a car by race end
(vettel singapore anyone?).Oh the epic Senna memories.
All of them, actually. One pre-requisite to being an alfa male is having the maturity (and hence the aggressivness) of a teenager. I show you proof in the person of tristancliffe.
And you should idolise them - they are not only FAST, they are consistent fast. Take "our" (lfs) best drivers, and then choose from those the ones that can deliver consistent laptimes for 2 hours while being beat up by a boxer.
Tristan should know how hard it is to drive consistently AND ultrafast. (however, driving consistently has the interesting effect of making you go fast).

actually, the baodoer pitlane "incident" was actually his crew's fault. If you go see the f1.com's race edit, you can hear the radio as he was going out:
"traffic traffic traffic". so he moved over. immediatly after "go!go!go!"
That and he blew his qualy lap - went wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide at the last corner. thats where at least 1 sec was.
Granted, he was driving at alguerisarieryasiusauarari time.

velocidround - that IS the camo pattern. is amazingly effective, I can tell you first hand.
