Quote from Shotglass :are all of the clips like that? the only real hazard was the driver whos stupid enough to pull into the left lane
so i presume since we didnt see a video of his/her conception its impossible to click the moment you see a hazard develop?

I think that was just an example one made by someone else with a camera in their car. The real videos have a camera mounted on the roof, with decent drivers.

I'm amazed there'll be no dedi servers. The crappiness is clearly shown in the console versions where hits take >0.25 secs to register.

Quote from Migz :I dont even understand how it could be the red one, so i voted for blue.
Surely if i was to do this on a smaller scale, and just put some string around a small globe light thing, then the string would touch the whole way around. So why would it magically float?

Quote from mcintyrej :
if you pulled this string tight,

I think this is the key point, which is why it shouldn't touch the ground. I really want someone to do this now...

Wow, this is an interesting one. But surely red would be correct because it's standard string-pulling, just on a larger scale.

Quote from 5haz :
Don't think that independant television doesn't churn out some serious profits too. In '08 ITV made a net profit of over 2 Billion, hardly strapped for cash.


Don't make up stats. 2 billion is an utterly outrageous figure. Think about dividing that figure by 10, and you might get close. [EDIT, you edited your post to say income]

This is just one example of where ITV are struggling. Also, they're having to cut the majority of their local broadcasting, and could possibly get some of what they call 'top slicing' of the TV licence fee. No matter what you say, commercial TV is in trouble and the BBC is indeed far too big for its boots. Yes, it makes decent enough TV, but we need competition if this quality is to continue. Or we'll just end up with Strictly Come Dancing for eternity.

That's bad news, guys. I'm sorry it didn't work out. While it lasted, I had a great time with Storm Servers. Thanks!

I took my HP test about 10 months ago, and as far as I can remember you click as soon as the object in question is going to cause you to change speed or direction. So, in that clip you would click as soon as the lorry was in view.

For a ped crossing the road, you'd click as soon as they appear to start to move to cross the road, like the turn of their head or a change of direction.

But yeah, the most crucial thing is knowing the object will make you change speed or direction.

Quote from lamerr :
Hm am I The only one who is a bit pissed off at Webber?? I mean his move on Raikkonen was really dirty, I thought he deserved a DT for changing his line twice and forcing Kimi off the road!

It looked quite bad from the external camera, but from the on-board it looked like a typical first lap incident, not really anyone's fault. Real shame that it ruined Kimi's race. He could have won this race!

Quote from lamerr :

Kobayashi drove like a real racer unlike Grosjean, what a scared little boy, everybody passed him lol..

I think there was something wrong with his car. There were bits falling off it on the lap he was getting passed by everyone. But yes, he was less than impressive today!

Quote from CSF :Well yes that would be factually correct, but even (thestig) would be embarrassed by what's said there.

He would have said it in bold with Different COLOURS though.

Maybe they meant the English drivers have never done it before. But either way, not a shining example of research.

Quote from mr grady :wont you feel foolish if brawn and jenson do well next year!

I doubt he'll feel foolish since what Dave has said makes a great deal of sense.

Although, Nick Fry (I think) did say that they have been working on the 2010 car without doing too much to the 2009 car over the last few races, which explains their comparitive lack of pace and development. I think they'll still be up there next season, whether they are WCC material again, we will wait and see.

Fantastic stuff. If anyone was in doubt that Jenson deserved this championship, his drive in this race should shut them up! The overtaking maneuvres he pulled were simply stunning. I mean, could Vettel ever pull off as many amazing passes like that? Could anyone in the current field make moves as good as that? I can only think of a couple. Jenson knew what he had to do, and he did it in flamboyant and skillful style. Fan-funking-tastic.

Thanks to the46 for providing this broadcast. It's a massive challenge to cover 3 servers of racing, and even more of a challenge when it's for 16 hours. It was a nice thing to have alongside remote and Ventrilo. Cheers guys!

(630): i have no concept of time, i f ... ything in bitty hexagons.

WOW.

I actually sent a few crazy messages during Freshers' week this year. One of those texts I wrote 8 times, and sent all of them. They were all pretty much exactly the same, but somehow I managed to write it 8 times. To the same person. Embarrassing but amusing.

Thanks Niko, I was actually on Z19. I don't know why I keep having problems with patches not applying when I extract them first time around.

Edit: Oh, actually, I somehow managed to download Z19 again by mistake. I must be going mad.

Edit 2: Z20 has fixed the problem

The crowd here are hilarious. Earlier there was a guy dancing around with his middle finger up at the camera. These guys are crazy!

Quote from CSU1 :...you see this is where people start shouting "HES WEAVING HES WEAVING BAN BAN KICK BAN"...Changing line 3-5 times the length if BL GP straight is hardly weaving is it!

That's still quite a lot of direction change, and I definitely wouldn't be happy if someone did it to me!

You can move once offline, and then back to where you were before. It's not an actual rule in real life racing, but it's gentlemanly conduct that most drivers adhere to, and rightly so. Weaving is dangerous!
