Well, I'm really sorry for getting ranty sometimes.
I'm just angry about this "I've heard from a friend of my neighbour's step father's cousin who read on an nvidia forum that ati drivers suck and don't work" thing. This is so generalizing it hurts. Sometimes I feel the urge to be generalizing as well... and this hurts too
sorry

Morning ladies,
I really love to angry music... sometimes even the brutal stuff posted above.
I've had the honor to be at one of the really rare cannibal corpse concerts, but again, like listening to ska bands, after you've listened to 5 songs in a row it all becomes a bit boring (yes, some bands really sound like "snarf graaaaawl shreddershreder graaaaawl" in every song).
chainway is my all time favourite local band. Their music is sometimes listed as "mathcore"... don't know why this is so. Probably because sometimes you have to count carefully not to miss a beat
Here's quite an old youtube vid that shows how funny this music can be :-)
now for the cheesy deep moose noise:

Sorry, but the stuff you've posted is utter crap. I've had Matroxes, NVidias and ATIs (I won't post a list, but my pc experience starts in 1990) and NEVER had ANY driver problems. not even with my 12 mile long vesa local bus cards.
Either you can install a driver or you're just useless. At everything.

Naah, the 944 is just too monstrous with its wheelarches and stuff.
924S says "look, I'm a small slim thing", and still has the same engine than the fatboy

Geeez, that is cheap! You see, that's the problem I have with getting a car. The smallest ones seem to be quite popular these days, so they cost almost the same as big ships... And I don't know if it would pay off to get a very very small car that uses 5 litres/100kms for MUCHO money, or if I just should buy a (used old) car I like, which drinks 8 lt. but is MINE immediately (no leasing or rental sh*t) and feels good.
My old alternatives would be a Mini (the good old one), Porsche 924S (not at all because of the power, but because the normal one is near impossible to get an E2 rating for the tax office) or maybe even an old weird citroen built before 1979.
Man, I hate those descisions. I'm gonna marry in August, We're going to buy a ~100000€ flat very soon, I don't have a proper job atm and I might need a car in the near future. My whole life is rolling like a big wave these days damnit!
keep on posting interesting cars, appreciate it!

You ARE indeed helpful, thanks for that. I'll have a look at that Logan. Also I've had a few Minis before, they're great! 650 kilos and 50hp... what a blast! 
the 0-series BMW is something different though 
@Vinny: I think you can get way more car for your money... the 924S might just wipe the floor with the 107
But yes, If I went for a new car I'd go for a small 107/c1/aygo, despite the fact I don't like modern cars that much.

Edit: @thunder: sorry mate, 2002 Polo 1.2 (65hp) with 2 spare wheels (??) and dents in the bonnet (hailstorm) still is being sold for rediculous 5600€... One reason for not getting a VW: they're hellish expensive, even with no gadgets at all! Thanks anyway mate :-)

Earlier on I've sworn never to get a car beginning with an "F". So there'll be no Fiat, Ferrari, Ford or Folkswagen :-)
I might step back from this maybe (except for the 2nd and 4th one), but e.g. the Fiat Panda, Suzuki Idontknow, VW fox and the like are all cars for under 10000€, so they say. Effectively though you might want one or two gadgets on your ride which make it cost over 12000. Maybe I can tell the people at ye olde car shoppe that I want an 11900 car for a tenner, but I don't think that'll work.
I've seen many Porsche 924S's for 3-4000€... those have a cat and are zinc coated (so no rust). Modern super Minis cost 7000€ more, are about 100€/year cheaper in tax, use about 3 litres less/100kms, don't know about insurance. But keeping the fun of driving aside, would this be a wiser choice?

Edit: bambo, thanks for the hint... However I've had a look at their website just a moment ago. The Sandero is 7500€ when I want the raw thing. If I want side airbags I'd have to get the better line for 9500 AND pay 280 extra........ So in the end I've got a car that is taxed higher, has a higher insurance rate and costs the same as the others...
I only need enough space for 2 adults and a child seat, on the other hand it's true we all want the biggest thing for the least money :-)

yet another new car for se german...
Alright, I'm desperately searching for a job atm. Since Katja needs our 207 to drive to work each day I'm thinking of getting something myself around april/may.
I want something cheap that doesn't take too much fuel and is cheap in tax (which is something like co2- and displacement connected in the very near future).
I can go up to about 10000€ but would love to stay way beyond (maybe around 5000 max).
I've already thought about the citroen c1, peugeot 107 or the aygo, but at 11000 these cars don't offer too much. So maybe a used 206 or something might be good, assuming it isn't too old and got a decent catalytic converter.
Historic cars built before march 1979) would be fine if I don't have to repair them first to get them going.
What would you get for this money?

Just in case someone wants to have it built as well, vinny does NOT build this himself. So there has to be someone making it (and charging a sh*tload of money for it).
Don't ask if vinny sells you one, ask where HE sends the money to.

I'd rather get a wii, the concept is funny, games are a laugh (especially that rabbids thing, laughed so hard when I saw it for the first time!)
Also the wii is for everyone, psp is just a blown up gameboy for keeping teenagers away from any work, be it in the house or at school.

What I don't get is this:
When you're so perfectly capable, then why did you get off the throttle in a corner? On the Oval??
Sometimes it gets a little harsh on FM's Oval Junkies. Sometimes I just visit and watch them go left and left, I barely drive there. What I've found out was that over an hour or two Several FM-guys practice hard to get faster and race closer. During that time many many people join, ruin 5 or 6 races with their poor skills, then leave again. You might just have been the drop that made the scale tip over...
This is plain wrong.
I know the FM guys as really really helpful blokes. You get their fast sets, you can talk to one of them 24/7, you get every kind of help you need - if you want to.

looking at all the "g25 is TEH wheel" posts I'd say take that one. On the other hand: Go look in this forum sub section. It's packed with threads about G25's problems. It even seems near impossible to get this thing going in the first place.

No offence, but 99,9% of the population in india earn less than 5 Dollars a month... how on earth will this help tho raise the economy there? Sure, there will be more employees needed, but the people paving the place will also earn next to nothing, whilst one ticket to the F1gp of India will still cost hundreds.

I've played em all... first were c64 racers of which I've even forgot the names. Then came revs, the first graphical f1-simulator for the home pc. then test drive (which was not a simulator, but fun!), some top down racing games, geoff crammonds F1 on amiga, indy 500 (the blocky one, playable with the mouse), stunt car racer, supercars2 and 4d sports driving. Then the ibm pc came, and with it microprose again, then papyrus' indy- and nascar racing series. destruction derby and nfs high stakes was fun (i won everything and could see nice cars), big red racing was a blast and made my brother buy his first 3d-card (a voodoo one), I didn't even own a proper computer by then! Later on I bought more funny car games like crashday, carmageddon (okay, this was earlier...) grand prix legends, rally masters, sports car GT, cross racing championship. My first online racing experience was 1nsane, which is serious fun, and I could play with some funny Canadians! On the other side of the world!!!! Cmr2005 was not as cool as RBR, but nice in a different way. Rally Trophy and CMR-Dirt have got some cool cars as well. Gtr and GTL offer a nice variety of tracks and cars, the copy protection is stupid though. Usually I buy a game, install it and put the CD somewhere I don't have to see it:-)
As you see I've played a lot of racing games over the last 20 years. All of them were great fun at the time they were at least half way modern. All of the games offer different cars, tracks, classes of racing, physics and moddability. I like them all.
Nowadays it's LFS time :-) it feels nice, cars and tracks are very well made, but I play this one for the physics and the brutally great netcode!
I don't think people mention nfs so often because it's crap. I think - like some others here - it can surely be fun! Too many young guns here yell for bodykits and wings and so on though, they actually want to have nfs with lfs physics (most of them are demoers, so they want bodynitrous realism AND they want it for free!)

and "kraft durch Freude" (strength through enjoyment) was not a car... it was the nazi's very own travel agency. They wanted the "porper german" to have fun, so they organized everything from swimming courses, party evenings... up to proper cruises on big ships. The nazis intended that someone who is happy works better (for them). However the beetle was first called "kdf-Wagen", it should be very cheap and mobilise people, so they would be happier and work more. In fact the beetle should be germany's Tin Lizzy. Cheap, simple, reliable.
Designwise there's some rumour. Some eastern european guy could be the inventor of the overall beetly shape, a designer at mercedes claimed responsible for it... basically if we lived back in the days and would have been asked to sketch a simple car, everyone would draw the beetle without having seen it before: fwd - expensive. transaxle - expensive. get the engine to the back as much as possible to create more space, boot in the front, 4 seats and a cheap hull. here you go, the 356...erm...beetle
another fact: about 99% of the random facts on the interweb are hoax!

Morning ladies,
Well, politician or not, it can't get much worse. Obama seems to at least search conversation with other countries, rather than ruling them all by sheer monetary and arms power. America shrunk down from a nuclear superpower to a country that has to admit its problems, as many others did long before.
Bush spent billions for his own personal goals. He "failed epically" (hate this term btw, but here it rather fits) and made every country know america as the land that doesn't care about anything but itself, in every way.
The new guy has to start from where Bush's administration had stopped. The latter hadn't changed anything for the good, in fact things went down the drain uncontrolled (ly?) for the last 1 1/2 years.
McCain would not have been the bad choice Bush was, still I think at the point where you have to rethink the whole politics of a country, Obama could bring a fresh scent of conversation between some countries. If he does not change anything I foresee the next 20-30 years of republican right-wing christian American warfare politics again...
Obama can't just get rid of all the problems by swinging his magic wand, greedy oil geeks, bank and stock managers and corrupt car companies now depend on money only the normal people and another very high public debt can give them what they so carelessly spent for whatever.
Aw, another gush of letters here, sorry. Let's hope for the best.
