The Ultimate Endurance Record - non-stop-driving for 17 hours by one guy alone

Old record so I don't know if it has been broken again

did he manage to return to real life ever?

"NICEST GUY of The Forum" goes to : ME

Thank you.

Are these WR's about longest burnout or fastest crash or highest jump or things like that??? Because Laptime WR's are allready there.

Quote from Bladerunner :

He might be...IF Turkey ever get to a World Cup Final! :P

it might happen really because the youngster training facilities have just started to improve.They are not yet as good as many countries standards but Galatasaray already won 2 european cups with nearly half of team was youngsters and the other half Hagi-Taffarel-Popescu .(this is a really big achievement if you compare to other teams economic strength and other things.) They are still in big economic problems because of the players they transferred on that victory years. i have hope things might get better in the future. Besides i don't care if it doesn't

This kid is only 19, he's really very skillful player...:trophy:

Do you think he'll be better than zidane? (i think he's got some potential.)

Quote from Btoryo :

Kinda noobish but what's a "F Keyboard"?

F keyboard is just a keyboard but with different key layout. There's "F" instead of "Q" on a f kb so it is called f kb. They are generally come with a mac.

Quote from Btoryo :

but I gotta watch out my parent might see what I'm doing and get banned from the computer.

Hahahahahahha.

hahahahahahaha

try to keep working while zoomed in..

Quote from Goop :

LOL yeah! "...the fingers you have used, are too fat..."

is L and S close to eachother on an F keyboard? Maybe he's using an F kb.

How did you manage to press "L" instead of "s"

Anyway i didn't know that.

Thank you alot for sharing your deep knowledge guys.Really thank you.

2 hours later i'll be getting drunk :drink::rock_band:woohoo:

i understand what you say Gentlefoot.

and you'r right Csu.


Maybe after 1.000.000 years, we'll be clever enough to understand what's in and beyond the universe.

Quote from Gentlefoot :

I was asking. i.e. What is the universe expanding into?

Hmm, it'd keep expanding until it is so big that even light will not be able to reach from one point to another point.So can we call it an absolute "nothing"

Or maybe expand and swallow other universes around. A universe containing other universes. Call it "master of the universes" ?

Or will it slow down instead of speeding up it's expansion and stop and start shrinking to another big bang?

ok there's no black hole. and i won't beleive until someone brings it here and show me. now i'm a respectful man aren't i?

Quote from Dajmin :

Isn't our sun set to burn out in about 12,000 years? It won't supernova because it's not big enough, but it will expand first, taking out the nearest couple of planets (and possibly earth) before collapsing and becoming a...red dwarf or white elf or green ogre or whatever it's called

So that'll mean in 1M years the earth will strongly resemble today's Neptune in terms of climate.

What a cheerful holiday thought

Quote from tristancliffe :

We don't know every galaxy has a black hole in the middle. We don't know for sure than any have. All we know is that something doesn't quite add up in the middle with our existing knowledge. But then you get onto Dark Matter, p-branes, string and superstring theory; and you realise that an answer like 'there is a black hole in the middle' cannot in all probability be correct.

Will the blackhole, if it exists, consume the Milky Way? Who knows? Is the orbit of the galaxy declining or increasing (i.e. will it fly apart or be consumed).

The Discovery Channel takes very complicated facts, breaks them down to simple sections, lies a bit, uses fancy made-up graphics, and then people believe it. Don't - it's a channel for stupid people. By all means watch it, and learn about new things, but never take what they say as 'The Truth'.

i watched on bbc learning channel.They were making visual observations and did see it.(of course you can't see it but can understand that it is there by looking at the things around it.)

And isn't it obvious that there should be something there with incredible mass and gravity to keep the galaxy spining around? look at the shape of a galaxy.Anyone would easily realise that there's something in the middle pulling everything towards itself.

and, http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2000/ast29feb_1m.htm take a look at this pls.

and this : http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn6937

I like watching discovery channel, but not stupid. And i don't like ppl calling everyone stupid.

Quote from Gentlefoot :

Ofcourse we may well all have been compressed into an infinately small space by then. I don't think anyone (or anything) will survive that somehow. lol

Do you mean black hole?

every galaxy has a black hole at the very center of them. And those blackholes eat their galaxies.A time will come that our blackhole will eat all the milkyway. but that's far far far than a million year.

And yes, noone would survive that unless moving to another universe.



i luv discovery chnl.

Changing ourselves is the only way to conquer the universe(s).We must do that.

Maybe we'll find the "others" and share knowledge. They might teach us, everything we know now might be all wrong.


We're pathetic small creatures living short lifes fighting for small things...But after 1.000.000 years we might have grown a bit.


edit: o look my signature started to make sense in this thread

Too long to make a guess. But i think we'll be able to modify ourselves dna's so we can survive in any environment we like. Or even maybe we'll transfer our beeing into a chip and start living in a robot body. (we'll need antivirus

Quote from tristancliffe :

Yes, but with exceptions. Modern ECU's sometimes completely stop the injectors on overrun (when the engine is being turned primarily by the gearbox) with the throttle fully closed, but this is in the interests of economy and emissions (though I'm not sure of the benefits to emissions, as it seems like a boat of false promises to me).

But on 'older' cars, especially on carburettors, the fuelling was always on (and with carbs proportional to the pressure drop across the carbs caused by the throttle position and engine speed).

Also, in your example above, in case #1 the engine will restart delivering fuel around the idle rpm to try and stop it from stalling. The ECU will detect falling rpms (and probably won't know the car is in gear) and just try to maintain a smooth idle.

i see. Thanks for the explaining.

i know the basics,i know a bit more than basic actually. i think i should improve my english... let's start all over again,

1-if the car is in a gear and it is moving and you don't touch the throttle, the kinetic energy coming from the rotation of the wheels will go through the gearbox to the engine and keep the engine turning.
2-But if in neutral, no kinetic energy will come from the wheels because the gearbox won't transfer it.So the engine should be burning gas to keep turning.
nothing wrong with this.

Here comes the question, will the engine burn gas in the first condition?? i think yes.

Quote from Gentlefoot :

ECUs don't know what gear you are in. The map is the same in gear or not.

yea that's right.silly me.

But if you're in a gear and the car is moving that means all the valves and pumps are running depending on the crank. But in neutral, the engine should produce its own power and rotation to keep itself alive.


i don't know .

Quote from ZORER :

There is always gas burnt in the engine even if you don't touch the throttle while it is running.So it can keep the valves and things running.

I mean, in neutral. not in gear.

Good idea but server prices will double or more if ppl start making money out of sponsors.
