If you were to prove to someone that the locks of his doors are unsafe, would you open them without consent just to prove your point?
I wouldn't, at least here in Italy, because I know what I risk. That's why, where I work, I require an explicit written consent before doing intrusive security checks on a customer's system. I just don't want to be jailed.
I guess intrusions in computer systems are illegal in the UK and in France, just like it is here, so there's no discussing about ethical hacking or defending from script kiddies (like in this case). Whoever it was, it wasn't a smart move.

It wasn't cleary an exaggeration, Linsen. That was Jiminee's explanation to the question: why there's so much angst in the sim racing community?
He wondered quite a while about it, and came up with an answer. That's just part of the answer. If it's the real answer, I'm very unwilling to be considered part of it, or part of a sim scene built on those premises. I'm quite relaxed about it really. But maybe I'm failing to see the bitter truth underneath this scene, and Jiminee's right. If he is, this is no longer a place for me. Pity on me for being so shortsighted.

Excuse me? I was talking about myself and my life, and he was too (his sentence is clear). He shouldn't have put everyone in that bunch. I just objected to this since it's not the first time that's happening (but maybe you failed to see it).
I take Jiminee sentence as some kind of offense because what he says flattens every sim-racer to a very limited personal dimension while explaining some psychological dynamics that are far from truth, at least in my case. If your truth is different that doesn't mean I feel comfortable with Jiminee's thoughts. They are wrong and offensive to me. I may be a bit picky, but I don't like those rules to be applied to me. It's all I'm asking. I'm not a Borg, and I don't like to be treated as such.

I assume that "We" doesn't count me in. I'm quite happy with my life and surely not frustrated because I'm not the race car driver I never wanted to be.
Please don't apply your logic to others, they might have an inner world that's far larger than the one you're willing to imagine with your cheap and failing psychology.
Sorry but no one beats Jan Terri, except maybe the infamous dead super-antirockstar that I'm unwilling to mention because no video of him could be considered safe for work, and most clips are simply outrageous. If you don't know Jan Terri be careful, this video (and others from her) could give you the creeps.

It's all down to the server admins' preferences, and I guess that in proper situations mid race joining won't be allowed. It's an option, after all. That's why I won't vote this poll: if I ran a server I would turn off mid race joining only when needed.
I'll stick to XP until Vista is ready. And with ready, I don't mean "until you can buy it". As an MSDN subscriber I have some legitimate Vista codes to use within the firm I work for, and two computers (both theorically with Vista compliant hardware, both working eight hours a day, both perfect with XP) were experimenting random crashes on different occasions, ranging from minor glitches to application errors and blue screens. It is true, however, that some people aren't experimenting such errors. For my (limited) experience Vista needs at least a good service pack, and lots of software packages need an update to work with Vista.
I second SamH in this instance. What attracted me to LFS was his natural feeling, both when spectating and driving. I don't claim I'm an expert in racing or cars, by the way, so it's just a humble opinion. Or better, the feeling I get (when I look to the West 
).
).You say it crashes your computer. You should check if the option to reboot automatically your pc is on or off. If it's on, disable it. Check here for instructions.
This should, in case of reboots due to severe operating system errors, give a blue screen instead of a reboot. It's however a good practice to disable it in any case. If you get a blue screen, write down the reason of the kernel error and the numbers and do a google search. It may give good hints.
Overheating problems: make sure fans are working and clean, and that you have a good airflow inside the case. Check the temperature with some tool like Everest, but there are many others.
RAM problems: Check with memtest86 and prime95 (two good ram testing tools) if there are errors.
Driver problems. Use drivers that are certified by Microsoft if possible. Use dxdiag to verify it.
There are possible additional causes (CPU, faulty vga card, power supply problems, and others) but the description of the problem you have is too generic at the moment. Try to find out more.
As long as you're able to verify and give information, you'll probably get some useful hints here. But at the moment it's almost impossible.

I'll check if I get some invites too, although at the moment I have got none. I hope to come back to this thread with good news soon.
Thank you very much, bbman.
I would be grateful if a kind soul could send a spare invitation, hoping to be able to return the favour to some other LFS forumer sooner or later.

Ah, okay. He replied to my message (I switched to threaded mode to see it), so I presumed (and I still assume) he answered to me. If he replied to the original message, I wouldn't presume it. So my apologies are still valid.
Sorry for the repost, I did a fast search but nothing came up with world domination battle.
No, it doesn't make sense. I didn't equate Italy to Prodi or Berlusconi, or Blair to England. Neither I do equate Bush and the United States, although your efforts may well lead to think that you're right about the United States.
I think it's really unfair to question the reliability of other forumers declaring this thread "worthless" just because you assert some lies that I don't assert. If you want to drag down the quality of this thread, fine, you can do it, and you have already done it, but if I were in you, I wouldn't do it.
XCNuse, don't be ridiculous. You're just reinforcing stereotypes while spreading false information about terrorism and Iraq. I find your effort damaging and uninformed.
