I'd argue that the order given (the order the AI finishing) isn't the same as the order that a new player should drive them though
Why is one order any valid from another? What differentiates them?
Do racers really expect them to be in a specific order? Are the slower ones supposed to be before the faster? Is it ordered by historical or class relevance?
I'm asking a serious question here. What are the set of expectations you hold? Qualify your statement.

Depends how you want it to behave. Login or startup script assigned under local or group policy (depending on situation) / adding to a batch or powershell script to startup menu / adding a script or executable as a value to HKLM or HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, scheduled task, etc.

Wasted life? I'm not sure that you can qualify any life being wasted. Life is for living, and if you live in hatred of yourself and all that you have become, how is that any less of a life?
Rather perversely I find that I'm most comfortable when I'm miserable. Whether or not that's because it's just easy or familiar is something I leave up to you to decide.
How I've spent the last 10 years of my, relatively short and relatively eventless, life? Wallowing. Dedication to self improvement in my knowledge of computer systems and networks. The battle of lack of self confidence. The death of both my parents, and dealing thereafter. Several years of teaching myself that non-socially acceptable ways of dealing with my personal life experiences is perfectly fine and everyone else can piss off. Realising it's ok to be silly from time to time (that's a newish one).
My life has been no different from others, less eventful than others and more so than some. Whether or not you've wasted it is a matter of perspective. Two years ago I would've said that I've wasted what I've had. Now I'd say I haven't.
The simple thing is that I've realised is that it's irrelevant. Something I have planned to get tattooed on me is a nebula and star field scene, and then several golden ratio sprials cut in over the top. The simple reason for this is that every time I look up there or think of the golden ratio it reminds me that it's completely pointless. **** everyone else. If you're happy then it's fine. If you're not then change it. It's never too late to change, if you want to. Whilst I'm happy being miserable and the lack of importance is comforting to me, it may not be to others.
Everyone touches someone else, in some way, shape or form. I can name several individuals who I've met and some who I've only conversed with on these very forums who I feel have changed my life. Whilst they may feel that what they've done is not worthwhile I'd argue that by affecting one person they have made a worthwhile contribution. To those many people, I salute and thank you all.
So I'll reiterate; Wasting life is not possible. Whether or not you're happy with your decisions is a matter of your own perspective. But remember the simple fact; You cannot change the past, no matter how much you want to. Sometimes making a mistake can result in some of the greatest clarity in life, that you may not have otherwise gained.

Not at all. Most home routers come with a web interface. You can login to that (by going to the IP of your router in a web browser) and you can configure it via that - However the instructions vary in doing so from router model to model, because the web interface changes. Using PFConfig is never necessary and is nothing more than a con (in my personal opinion).
The only thing I know of along these lines is a simple program to output gear details to LCD and/or LED matrix over parallel I'm afraid. There are a few people who have done this, but I believe that they've been using phidgets which come with their own API for talking to the servos, etc.
The current barricade isn't really being looked after. I'm still intending to finish up what I've got as the replacement, but I'm afraid that real life is currently getting in the way of my plans.
There is a log, but it's not structured in a way which would lend itself to automating this sort of system at present. It's more of a system which appears to have grown up over time and is more adhoc. Assuming the reporting system was enhanced or altered, or even switched so that each was track-able, then I don't see why not. However, acheiving that right now, with the current system, would be a bit hit and miss potentially.
At the end of the day that would be in Vic's ball park..
You're welcome
As Scawen says the number of reported posts some days is quite high, and especially so when it's a bad day. On these occasions it's not unusual to get several reports from multiple people about the same post. We could start doing it, but it would make the job of moderating harder than it is already is (this includes everything from being targetted by members to making decisions which are borderline - for instance how to deal with all the cruise requests in the programmers forum).
It depends on a case by case basis. I don't personally remember this racist post, nor have I gone back through the moderator log yet to see what was done. However, I do know that since I contacted Luke.S I've not personally seen[1] any posts that are near the normal unacceptable levels.
[1] This doesn't mean that he hasn't made any, keeping an eye on the entire forum is impossible, but we do our best - this is why we very much appreciate people reporting posts. It helps us inordinately sometimes
You have no idea how hard it is not to break out into an old-school taa rant sometimes
Luke.S has been approached by at least myself and has received several infractions recently. Over time if he receives more his privileges will slowly go away. Eventually this would result in him having a banning.
These things aren't made entirely public. Doing so would be bad for several reasons and would end up with every mod decision requiring validation and discussion - and that would never work.
So, quite frankly, I'm failing to see what the problem is amp88? Do you want to be copied in on everything we do? I don't mind doing that, but I guarantee it's really, really boring..
I'll reiterate; just because you can't see what's going on doesn't mean nothing is being done.
It's also more appreciated that you contact a moderator directly, that way we don't have to publically explain things and look like complete ****s.

Sooo... you want the developers, who sell content, not patch levels, to give people who don't pay more content?
I can't see it happening some how.

That's fine until you have to turn up to anywhere looking decent.
If we didn't live in a world where business men and women were expected to turn up at a customer's in anything reasonable, and not a perfectly pressed shirt, etc. then it would be fine.
However, for some reason the world of commerce demands such stupidity. Bloodly bankers...
The original reason for bbcode is a simple one - it was easier to filter and sanitise than HTML. In this day and age of SAX and spare CPU cycles theres no valid reason to use bbcode at all, except to conform to expected standards.
The OG packet flag is a bitwise field, which you need to use bitwise operators to check.

My point was that if you're going to notify us of new strips and discussion (which, in the case of XKCD, I cannot see expanding on more than "yeah thats cool", or "that's so funny") what is the benefit? Something of this nature is more aimed at the XKCD forums, I would've thought? How are you giving me any more than a simple notification that it is Monday, Wednesday or Friday (aside from last week I'm usually pretty good at telling the day of the week)? Or simply telling me that a XKCD strip is out (emulating my feed reader, if you will)?
Yes, the LFS forums are tolerant to other discussion outside of the LFS community, but there is a level of tolerance in certain areas. I have no problem with this discussion outside of the programmers forum, personally. The other threads you have posted today allow others to come away with a better understanding of various programming skills, which could benefit this community in the long run.
Whilst probably funnier to the programmers forum, you're bordering on becoming a links exchange, or emulating parts of my RSS reader, hence why I've moved the thread here. Sorry.
Erm.. It's a wiki guys. Anyone can update it...
You'll get that if it can't talk to the master server - if you're trying to run a LAN only game you need to make sure that /usemaster=no.
If you are making an online server make sure that you can resolve and ping master.liveforspeed.net ("ping master.liveforspeed.net" to do both in one go)...

Welcome Jeff! :up: I'm sure this isn't the most bizarre thing you've come across, but we can make it a bit weirder if you like
Certainly a nice looking rig you've got there! Kinda makes nostalgic for the days of old when I had the space, and definately makes me feel guilty that the g25 is sat o'er yonder gathering dust
It's certainly nice to see you're a LFS fan too!Going back slightly on-topic, keep up the good work with coding horror, it's provided me with some good afternoon entertainment on slow days - it is appreciated
What do you mean by "can't use it"? Can't join any online servers (can you get on to the web at all?), or cant run your own server?
The assumption being that the server will be full. However, it's worth mentioning that most servers are usually not full, if not empty. The concept of overselling isn't a new one
FWIW that formula might be a little bit out now, but it's roughly right
The calculator in-game should yield the same results, in theory...I can think of several uses of XML that I've seen in production, which have made me cry.. XML serialised into a DB column (rather than creating a new set of columns in the DB) - at every search the entire rowset of the table was returned and each row's XML was parsed and then sorted... Small quantities of XML gzipped and used as a network protocol over UDP, because "UDP had better performance, and XML is.. Like so cool man"?!!
So yes, it can be over used like any tech, and it's usually over used by people who consider technology X to be the bees knees and will refuse to use any other tech even if it's more suitable - as if they're trying to prove a point
In my opinion this is much more dangerous than being overzealous with it and not seeing it..
These blind advocates are the emacs users of the world... *waits for the pain*

Well.. I selected myself and I only got options about how I should die. The checkout also didnt charge me, although said that it would be collected from myself upon delivery... Seems a bit arse about tit.
Anyway, if I die from an accidental death in a 2-4 weeks then you know why...
Memo - Ksa, if you've having payment issues you need to contact the developers directly here, detailing your LFS.net username that you have tried to buy a licence with and what the issue is exactly: http://www.lfs.net/?page=mailus
