You're definitely no Peggy. So let's just wait on Zoe to show up.
I recognize that you are proposing this for general ease of use in a MS Windows kind of way. However, I veto the usage of that motion and up the ante with this:
All your problems are solved with symbolic links - known in the world of NTFS as "junction points". Separate all your customizable data folders to someplace else and then create junction points from multiple installs to there. I've used them in the past for: a. multiple installations when using various test patches to update and roll back, b. multiple users with same license and even c. multiple users with different license - hell, I even spread symbolic links on toast in the morning so I don't have to open the refrigerator and get the jam out.
Are you saying that as a Carol or a Charlie? After all that was more directed at Bob - fitting that Shotty's an Alice though.
Interesting - it used to be something that happened to the ones who declined to talk. Amusingly enough there appears to have been another American computer company lurking in the background of that period as well.
For Kev specifically it's just a delayed post-traumatic reaction and trying to maintain a balanced consumer-karma.
And then they say the UK is reluctant to change currency.
I've been following the beta on a separate installation and it seems that so far they've drastically changed the way it handled positioning twice. I can only assume they'll change it again.
Here's an odd one - resumed the system from S3 mode and LFS.exe crashes on start. I tried a few other D3D games and OpenGL apps, including the CMX Viewer, and they start-up just fine. I'm assuming that if I restart the PC it'll be ok - but it's obviously something that LFS is doing when it's initing that makes it crash currently.
It consistently comes up with:
Code: 0xc0000005
Address: 0x000000000046b082
I've attached a memory dump of it as well.
EDIT: This is with Z10 btw, but I don't think it's a test patch issue.

Reason : add the version
Not to mention that balding idiot plays in it. I've only seen no1 by chance, hoped for decent car action - at least on par with some of the stuff in the driver movies, but sadly all you get is, once more, that balding idiot.
Somehow it didn't register. Maybe the girl in it annoyed me by saying over 40 times "it's going to be ok" in that whispery faux-sensual voice. Maybe the cinematography in it sort of went by like a music videoclip - not entirely sure. Luke-warm and without fizz I'd say, unlike other action hero movies seen around. The Ironman tie-in made me hopeful for the sequel.
One movie that sort of surprised me was JCVD, turned out much better than I expected considering that I'm not a Van Damme fan by far.
City of Ember was enjoyable family post-post-apocalyptic sci-fi film. Loved the setting and costume design. Fallout fans will love some of the bits towards the end.
Further on the post-apocalyptic front I also enjoyed Le Dernier Combat - a bit on the artsy side, but in a good way. Had some original elements to it.
In the meantime in Traitor, the war on terror still goes on. Enjoyable, realistic action to it and a fairly decent plot with equally realistic development.
Somehow I took it as more of an anti-consumerism statement and what people do to fill up their empty lives. I can't even remember any of the actual fight scenes in it - mostly I remember all the anarchistic messages in it and the rants characters would go through, mostly Tyler that is, with his non-stop propaganda to get people to stop identifying themselves with what they did, what they looked like, etc. And the all famous idea of stealing human fat from liposuction clinic dumpsters to make soap and sell it back to the people who had the liposuction.
I think you probably watched a different movie.
Hrm - OK, now I too noticed the skidmarks being rather too colourful, I was looking towards the tyrestack at the chicane. Are the skidmarks what you mean?
As I can't seem to spot this banding you mention I'd go with option B.
Well spotted.
Time to switch perspective and stay focused this time.

Considering that I'm seeing a 1.5Mb blackbox.exe + optional 4Mb explorer.exe I'd say: it is. But anyway, despite the memory footprints it's just a matter of preference in the end - I just never got used to having to trek to the start button to get something done, that's all. If I started out with a keyboard that had a Win key on it, or if my introduction to GUIs started with Windows I'd likely not even notice it. The period of using NT was the only time I had to put up with that and even then most of the things I used were bound to keyboard shortcuts.
Nope - no blackbox incarnation under any OS ever had it's own filebrowser and actually no "honest" window managers do, it's not their job to. You can either use explorer (running it properly under blackbox won't bring up the taskbars and all that other system hogging junk - just opened up a bunch of explorer windows to try it and the explorer.exe task stays at 4Mb mem usage, I've removed most of the crappy handlers it has anyhow) or any other file browser, there are several floating around. I mostly resort to bash in a cygwin window for that stuff.
Boom Bip - the co-op with Doseone entitled "Circle" is rather enjoyable:

And on the jazz front, Avishai Cohen - I quite like his "Live In Blue Note" album:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqIT6ghfEws
Their cover of Caravan in that same album is one of my fav renditions of that tune.
Oh, and the tracks from http://www.jahtari.org are always good and fun.

Indeed - Play Seats site agrees with that as well:
Huh, I didn't know fluxbox was ported to windows. It's my fav WM under X, I should check it out at some point. On the windows machines I use some version of bblean - I think the original stable one - there's a newer or several newer ones out since then.
If the user is able to adapt his skills of understanding what a simulated car does and how to react to it and can use a gamepad, a joystick, a mouse or even a direct neural interface to control it effectively then it can't be held up as evidence to there being a fault in the program as long as all methods of control are treated the same by it and there are no aids enabled when one input method or another is used. This is a totally separate issue to if the user is enjoying a trully simulated experience or not - as much as that is possible with modern hardware.
And to get back on topic - indeed the Caterhams are very close to what the LXs feel like in LFS using specific setups. They're a nice alternative to driving such cars on different circuits and not having to adapt too much.

Oh, most versions have been recompiled with 64bit support in mind. Some even got ported to full-blown 64bit apps and AFAIK several plugins are available for x64 as well.

Nor has it crashed in as much, if not longer, on any PC I work on. There simply is no need to update it. Any extra functionality is added by developers in the form of plugins. I think there are some branches of it that are still being actively developed that basically incorporate things from popular plugins or add some minor bling, which sort of defies the concept.
