It wont be an issue at all, first turn of a wheel in the kart and you'll be fine - the brain is far more powerful than you can imagine!

I'm new to driving actual cars, about 10 lessons in so far, and I got the G25 about 6 in, and can go from G25 to a Ford Fiesta with no issue - also drive a Rotax 125cc Kart on occasion at my 'local' circuit, and now I'm quite confident in all 3 now without having to think about it - it comes naturally.

Quote from viper-2007 :if u dont kart then u have no idea about karting

Aah, but read his post - he has driven karts in the past

G25 arrived yesterday, I'm now an official member of this 'club'

It's hard to get used to driving LFS now though, haven't done so properly in about 6/7 months!

I'll join when my G25 arrives (tomorrow! ), I can't really judge for now as my current wheel is in no uncertain terms, decked.

I'm still off to play with the FBMW though!

To be fair, you haven't a bad system jakg!

My machine:

AMD Athlon XP3000+ (Downclocked to 2800+ for stability!)
1GiB RAM (512MiB GEIL PC3200 + 2x256MiB Samsun PC2700)
80GiB HD
nVidia Geforce 6800GT
Onboard Sound
AOC 7V 17" Monitor
CD Player as speakers (the best bit!)

So dont you go complaining!

And to top if all off, i've been away from LFS for a few months, and will be for atleast another 4 - this desk i'm using now isn't stable with a wheel, and the CRT has to sit at an odd angle to fit on it, so its pretty much totally undriveable!

Quote from ajp71 :(Dutch?) business man.

Yep, a Mr Klass Zwart if I remeber the name correctly.

Commonly found running old (90's) F1 cars in Euroboss, driving himself and running some others IIRC.

Quote from Julppu :Two wrongs don't make a right

Three lefts do (assuming the total of the 3 left turns is equal to a rotation of 270 degrees )

Well, i'm up and down stairs a fair bit at uni, plus plenty walking about town.

When its the summer months, or atleast warmer, I cycle atleast 10 miles a day, not too much - but it keeps me healthy enough

You can't 'have it back' however, at the start (end maybe, can't quite remember!) every account is given 1 extra unlock, up to a maximum of two.

So, in a way, you'll get it back soon enough

Quote from S14 DRIFT :OMG.
I suggest buying a cheap newer gfx card like a nvidia 6200. Its crap, but is better than what you have, and can support 32bit !

Did you not read what I said in my post, about Linux interpreting 32 bit as 24 bit + the alpha channel (which it actually is)? Read the full thread before commenting, his card supports 32 bit

And dont suggest buying a card, which is sold mostly (or exclusivley) as a 'TurboCache' card

...TurboCache = uses System RAM IIRC

Network boot, allows a device to boot from an image stored remotley IIRC.

What do you mean by the "XP Limbo Screen"?

Ditto Becky Rose/Arrow. - although, I dont race - just 'testing' - a few races next year, depending on finances

Next season could see me with some involvement in the WTCC, obviously not as a competitor

I had a similar problem a while back, turned out thet during the installation of some Windows Updates, some .dll's had somehow reverted to RTM/SP1 versions, ergo Explorer.exe crashed as soon as I logged on.

I solved it by reinstalling SP2, but t_a_a's method will work aswell I expect, but reinstalling SP2 might save you having to download so many patches again, i'm not sure though.

Good Luck

Quote from BBO@BSR :I heard they told him that before, after he won the DTM in 2005.
Only one year as F1 Test driver then you'll get a seat.
And now back to DTM
Mercedes illepall

It's better than how they treated Heidfield!

Although, it is a bit of a shambles, GP should've bailed - Hamilton has and always will be the Macs golden boy, but best of luck to him in the DTM anyways

And ofcourse, to LH in F1, I have an autograph from him from 2002, I guess its worth more now :P

Its more data analysis than spreadsheet, but try SPSS Data Editor 15, theres a 14-day trial of the latest version on their website - but as I said, i'm not sure about how many rows it can handle.

Why do you need so many rows?

Edit: "SPSS can take millions of rows and aggregate them in an OLAP cube to make them meaningful in seconds." <- not sure what the OLAP stuff is about, but it mentions millions of rows...

Quote from thisnameistaken :Surely if it were true, the motorsport rags would be publishing it?

I think I'm going to assume this is bollocks until a reputable source reports it.

It is true, I expect the motorsport publications don't publish the fact because it would ruin the whole Hamilton story (i.e. the whole having the balls to walk up to Ron Denis age 11 and ask him for sponsorship etc), I expect thats why they don't publish it anyways.

I'd love to get a shot in one of those, but my Uni doesn't have anything Motorsport-Related, which is a bugger.

Looks fun though! *insert jealousy here!*

Indeed, Rossi has been on the back foot all season, and did come from around 51pts back mid-season, so he's done an awesome job regardless!

Good job Mr Hayden though

Quote from Jakg :no idea what a php webserver IS!

A web server that supports PHP

PHP = Hypertext Pre-Processor, a language used to create more dynamic sites that what can be acheived with regular HTML. AFAIK, it runs the PHP code on the server, and generates a HTML output, that could be wrong though

Edit: I assume Bean0/Bladerunner are referring to this: http://coppermine-gallery.net/index.php
