Quote from spyshagg :About linux, sony only allows access to one of the memory pools and cell processor. No graphics accelerator. Its good to run internet and office applications. It also plays divx and etc, but i would wait for sony to give access to rsx first.

You are mistaken, PS3 dissallows access to 1 memory pool and core, all others are open to linux - although current distro's use a maximum of 3 cores....

One Bug in W10:

Not sure if this was a freak occurance as I haven't tried to reproduce yet...

Was driving happily with Momo wheel, and decided to restart race as I talking on Ventrillo (With Push-To-Talk button held in - Left Control key), race restarted and controllers would not function in game, no axis or button presses were detected, minimised game, checked windows control panel, wheel still worked, so went back to game, reinitialised controllers, but still nothing... I restarted LFS and controller was working perfectly again

Will try and reproduce again tonight....

I also haven't tried this with any other version...

Quote from Yaamboo :That's xiiting as drifting should be fairly easy to do with a tank (you can simply put the other side to reverse).

We drifted with these.

The racing line get's laid with rubber increasing traction, however when laying this rubber small beads break away and scatter OFF the racing line, this hughely decreases traction as the tyres are no longer completely in contact with the tarmac but rolling on top of these small "beads"

I was wearing a face mask, but I was shot from under a bridge, so th epaintball entered inside the face mask!

I always use the technique, shoot 3 shots at once, because the wind changes slightly from minute to minute, so you have to aim slightly differently all the time...

The ideal would be to use standard fire technique, get close without being noticesd, 2 shots to chest and 1 to head!

Be careful though, last time I went paitballing I got shot from below and had a peice of a jaw broken off!

Blu-Ray will win the HD war... As for the consoles... PS3 can't stream movies, but can play more files, the streaming should be sorted in a firmware update...

The 360 has a hughe range of games, the PS3 is new and the collection will grow

Which console to choose, your forgetting the most fun console though, the Wii, It may not have the HD graphics, but it is the most fun to play if you have mates over!

If you can afford it, get all 3, bt if you must choose between the 360 and PS3 now, go into a shop and hold both controllers, buy the one that feels more comfortable to you!

Xbox 360 Premium (With HDD) + 360 HD-DVD = £409.98
PS3 = £424.99

There's not much in it!!!

Thats the point of the Linux projects, it's allowing smaller dev teams to work on the PS3 hardware, and it's not as difficult to program as many reports suggest, it just new...

The 360 took a while to get dev's happy with producing new ways of using the new hardware, as will the PS3...

Any console will get better as time goes on, and the games on those consoles will get better, The PS3 has made a promising start, and imo opinion looks like it's going to win the console war!

As for the overpriced thing, no it isn't, it's cheaper than other blue ray players, and it does so much more...
The 360 with HD-DVD drive is a comparable price....

But of course, at the end of the day it is down to you what you prefer to play your games on, and lets face it, we all prefer to simply play LFS!

Yes, I have had it running with no issue's whatsoever, it actually worked as soon as vista booted in, no drivers, but I think I had to install the drivers before the FFB kicked in

No FFB yet, but now the patents are sorted out, expect the new firmware and controllers to be out some point this year, with "Full" G25 support annouced, already has everything minus FFB (Just centre's)

I expect the PS3 will become much more popular in time for christmas!!!

They should make it illegal for anyone in a city to buy a 4x4, that would help everyone out!

By the way, PS3 WILL play LFS, just not very well yet, Linux install perfectly well out of the box, install wine and presto, LFS running on your PS3! Reading different websites, it's estimated the next version of linux should be out in about 3 weeks that fully supports the PS3 controller (At the moment you must use a Bluetooth/USB KB & Mouse)

It won't be too long before a linux is released that makes use of all 7 cores (One is reserved for the PS3), so hopefully LFS in HD won't be too far away on the PS3!!!

A 650-horsepower supercar that runs on biodiesel (Same engine as in coastguard helicopters)...

What everyone think?

This car is a little mad, but has the right concept ideas, fast, nice? looking, and enviro friendly(ish)

Buy the lisence right now, racing with faster guys on the S2 servers, who are likely to share their setups if asked very nicely, is probably the best way to learn how to race faster...
