Reason : spelling
+1!
Plus: make yourself clear that
a) depending on where you'll get it and how much of a tough guy you are it will hurt like hell. For me the hardest bit was in the crook of the arm (sp?), that's where a lot of nerves go through. the elbow (bone) made my head shake while the needles went in, but that was quite okay. Note that there is no proper painkiller available. Alcohol seems easy, but it thins your blood and makes you bleed like a pig. I've heard of a mixture of vaseline and cocaine, supposed to muffle the pain, but well....
b) it will stay there for the whole rest of your life. Most people seem to not know that. For EVER you know. There will never be surgery that can get the thing off without leaving you scarred (this looks more terrible than a badly drawn tattoo, I've seen it!)
c) you might have to visit ten or more artists and check if they can do your kind of style, if they work sterile and so on.
d) paint the tattoo yourself. There can be no bigger embarrassment than seeing the tattoo you have on someone else near some pool. Put the thing on your skin somehow (edding is nice), watch yourself in the mirror a few days and get a feel. If you still like it after 2-3 days (it might be more grey than black by then, that's okay. should look like 10 years old now) then get it done properly.
e) an Arm costs about 1000 to 1500€ here, depending on the time it takes. full back might be much more. Ah wait, every tattooer can do a skull and some "bad" words in a minute since those guys have to do this all the time. You could get a rose for a tenner, but again see d).

Actually I tend to not believe brandon...
I've had 2 old Minis, raced 1 in a local rallye event and tuned them both very slightly (998 engines, first had 48hp, the rally one slightly over 50).
First of all I prefer the old Mini to the bmw 0-series because the Mini was revolutionary. The concept was to fit 4 people and some handbags into a car shorter than 10 feet. So they had to put the engine in sideways and mounted it directly onto the almost-syncro-4speed gearbox. The springs were made from rubber, the interior was minimalistic and cheap. That was all of the 600kg Mini. Todays 0-series is as big as all the other "compact" cars, weighing almost 1.3 tons, has been built without ANY revolutionary thing to it (it hasn't even got an Aluminium engine block...), just the design should make people thinking of the olden days.
Now I've had 2 of the proper Minis. And I was thinking of getting a new engine in as well. There are quite a few people who actually CAN do it, but there are 10000s of people who claim to have built one themselves, no sign of proof though (sorry brandon, nothing personal. You're not the first). Fitting a camshaft, mounting some proper pistons, getting the twincarb to work well (I had a HS4, wanted a double HS6 :-) kids dreams), these are hard to do things on an engine. But ripping out half of the front subframe, putting the engine in and fitting the new welded subframe to it, making a whole new wire harness (sp?), this is really hard work, impossible to do properly for amateurs like most of us. Don't forget you need a proper racing clutch which is light enough to fit the bike engine and sturdy enough to pull the car... You might need a reverse gear. For this some funny guys put a Mercedes starter motor into the car, so technically it's a hybrid :-)
The last thing I've seen was "...in a car that weighs less than half a tonne". No mate, this is not possible. I've ripped out the roof lining thingie, carpets, rear seats, mounted windows from macrolon (plastic sheet) and the car was still at 570, exactly back to 600 after mounting the rollcage (640 standard). Flipfront is 15kgs lighter than the stock one. I know much about tuning that thing, and I know why many people stick to rallying Opel Kadetts, Ford Escorts and other big cars: Because it's nearly impossible to make a Mini faster than cars with engine bays that could take 6-cylinders easily.

my brother has got some ridiculous ones on his not-so-sober homepage... here are a few:
-Scotty beamed me to the wrong place initially
-My car is broken, so I had to push it all the way to here. (edit: note that he didn't say that his car broke down...could have been broken for a month)
-Yesterday my girl handcuffed me to the bed and forgot to get me off again
-Sorry, I had to intensively prepare for todays excuse!

Wow, thanks awfully mate!
I indeed swapped the wires, due to the fact that the pots weren't built the way "normal" twisting pots are. This problem is now sorted (thanks anyhow, I'll keep those pdfs ni case I still might need them!). Now the simulator is almost done, I've got another problem. FF doesn't work properly. As long as I've got no FF everything is fine, when it is turned on it won't steer anymore. Maybe this is because either I've again put the cables in the completely opposite direction, maybe it's because the signal cable is just too long (2 metres COULD be just too much for 17 leads with signals running all back and forth...)
Thank you again, you've helped me a lot!

Whoo, I have to admit I had to read this twice... Maybe I should put the established sentence "sorry for my bad English" back into my sig.
Anyway, to get back to topic:
An SCSI HD will set you back about three fantastillions of your funny but worthless dollars, on the other hand it will help one chinese family to survive another day whilst another american broker could buy his next ferrari.
butzes top tip: get a normal SATA HD, they are dirt cheap, MUCH more quiet and don't turn the computer case into a red hot glowing metal ball.
I think the CPU and GPU are a bit ott too. Everytime there's a new "fastest [insert any PC component here] it's ridiculously overpriced. I always tend to take the best of the rest. It's cheap, fresh enough to be still fast, but old enough to support everything I want to do with it.
If you plan on doing some HEAVY video stuff or other serious thing with your rig, you might want to swap the "high end" Asus board with something that was designed not to shrink your dong, but to work properly in heavily used environments. I'd propose a tyan board in that case, we've had them at work with 4 CPUs and 96Gbytes of RAM each.
In the case you wanted to step down a bit your power supply is plain stupid! A 1250W PSU might take up to 600W only when idle! And like the SCSI HD it's going to be loud, hot and inefficient, apart from being overpriced and being able to shrink your Willy.
Last hint: get huge fans and proper cooling solutions if you still want to overclock. And for pete's sake don't put your PC specs into your sig once you've got it. None of us is interested in another one's e-Schlong.
I've used 3 different expressions for one-eyed snakes, affronted Americans and Chinese as well as forum members who have their Rig in their sig... Not a bad day.
And sorry for my bad English :-)

calling all momo modders, help needed
Hej ladies,
I'm at work atm and I've got one massive problem.
For modifying a black Momo I had to throw away the original pedal set and connected the cable to 2 5kOhm pots (these here)
Unfortunately when pressing the throttle pedal the brake value increases as well, while when only pressing the brake it works fine without interfering with anything.
I think it could be because of wrong cable sorting, but I don't have the original pots anymore to try them out. Maybe this occures to the pots having wrong resistance values. I have got some other, normal pots lying around, but 1st I'd have to build new mountings for them and 2nd they start at 100kOhms, which is simply too much, compared to the momo's 10k plastic crap.
Can anyone help (tonight or tomorrow morning please) and either find a workaround for this problem, tell me in which pot cables the resistance increases when turning, send pics of modded pedals, send links to anything that could help (no webshop please, I don't have time to buy anything tonight)?
I've got dxtweak running, latest logitech drivers. Tools are soldering Iron, some normal resistors (~40-220Ohm) diodes (4001 or 4007) and of course the worst of all wheels which doesn't work until I start that damn wingman-software...
The whole project will be a replica of Frentzen's 1999/2000 F1 car for car shows. Maybe I can shoot a little video of it running on KY when it's finally done :-)
greetz and thanks for your help!

You seem to have much money, can I get some? Have you ripped your wheel apart like a hammersmith and couldn't send it in like normal people would do?
No, my wheel worked flawlessly for over 3 years, then one of the shifter paddles went weak. I called the guys from thrustmaster support and they immediately wanted to send over a bag of paddles and screws, so I could fix it myself (I've been out of warranty for over a year!!). Anyway, a little bit of 2k-glue and a small steel pin did the job pretty well.
I'm using the wheel (I shall call it oliver
) in a normal manner. You on the other hand seem to be more of a gross-motorist, and if you can break the thrustmaster wheel I'd advise you not to use the shifter on the G25 as well :-).Ah, there yould be something else as well! I guess you use the flappy paddles, only 2 pedals (with both feet, VERY pro!!) and you've set your wheel to 120° turning ratio! THEN the G25 is TEH best wheel you can get. Be sure to get "G 25" somewhere around your player name! :ices_rofl
greetz
der butz
It's even more fun to say this to my team mates in vent :-) Almost everyone at CR has got the G25!!! Whenever someone of them has a prob with his wheel I go all Hammond about it: "What? your wheel doesn't work?...oh a G25 you say.... you're screwed, bye!"
Also funny that some people really work it without the clutch, without the shifter (so flappy paddles) and at 40° steering lock (or whatever is the least you can get ask Reint... erm some anonymous guy about his settings), so those would have been better off with an old microsoft wheel (which is BRILLIANT!!!).
Nah, you always should go with whatever makes you happy really!

Naah, load cell will do for me thanks :-)
The brake strength is always the same, not depeding on how fast one goes. But true, if you want to stop the car in a normal manner from 100 you press hard at first, then gently release the pedal (not for quick stops).
FFB would be funny, but not at all neccessary. I'd rather get a motion platform that acts realisticly in corners than a pedal that can show me when the abs kicks in.
Also in todays cars you can't feel any rotors touching anything, this is nonsense. You have a dozen hydraulic/electric thingies between your foot and the pads. You can easily control it, but you only feel G's, not metal :-)
In my old Mini I was able to feel some btw, no servo brakes, just 1 master cylinder and the brakes themselves. Compared to todays cars you had to usse a massive amount of force to actually brake, but the feel was nice!
Sorry what?
If a brake pedal would be as efficient and the same quality than the G25 I assume it would break in the box it comes in...
Drivers don't work, you need a year to properly set it up and then the whole shifter unit dies.
If the pedals were good and sturdy I'd pay 150€ for the set. If they were massive and practically unbreakable AND of good gaming quality (no squeeking, fine adjustment, force adjustment,....) AND if the brake depends on FORCE, not WAY, then you might want more than 300€ for a set.

doesn't count for me... I've had a Geforce 4200 a few years ago. Was a brilliant card back in the days :-). Then I've bought an Ati 9600xt. This one was significantly cheaper than the nvidia cards for the same price. The 2600xt I've got afterwards was quite good, but I have to admit I should have got a Geforce instead... those were cheaper. Now with the 4series of Ati you can get very reliable and "green" gfx-cards for less money than nvidia wants to have for comparable cards. Sure, it depends on where you live/buy. Drivers have never ever been a problem for me, I've installed them and played my games. I think the biggest problem on a computer is always the user, not the os, not the drivers, not the hardware :-)
Same here. I've had quite a few amds, and at the moment I decided on which processor I should get into my recent rig, intel have been the better choice for me. I don't know which is the best "normal-priced" cpu atm, but that's not the topic.
greetz
der butz
Well, having seen THIS benchmark it seems the 9600GT is only a bit faster than the gxo (whatever that means :-)). It is not listed in the marks, but the 9600 is just a newer 8800, ah well, read it:
"NVIDIA's two latest entries into the sub $100 market. The 9600 GSO is just an 8800 GS. Though we didn't compare it here, the 9600 GT is priced right around $100 and offers performance a little better than the 9600 GSO."
(quote from the magazine)
Anyway, I'd take the 4670 over nvidia, I've got a 4850 running up to 400fps and being cool and quiet through a passive cooler mod...
gotta go, turkey is done, food with the in-laws :-)
Have a nice christmas everyone!
