Quote from jrd.racer :

btw could someone explain the Italian striker/Asian Defender joke

There has been widespread rioting, looting and property destruction over the last several days in major English cities (including London). So...

Quote from Bean0 :

Tottenham have just signed a new Italian striker...

Not forgetting the Asian Defender...

Quote from jrd.racer :

and the Gameboy one too.

Quote from Crashgate3 :

A Game Boy Advance SP walks into a bar, the barman says "Why the backlit screen?" GBA SP says, "because the first iteration of this hardware suffered from poor visibility in low-light environments."

The first versions of the Game Boy Advance SP had a front-lit screen. The front-lit screen had viewing issues in certain light conditions (including low-light) which meant it was difficult for the user to actually see what was on the screen. The second generation had a back-lit screen which coped a lot better and had a lot less viewing issues.

(I just took that from a couple of Google searches, I've never owned/used a Game Boy Advance SP).

In the top left-hand corner of the steering wheel display.

Quote from JezzaFromAUS :

Do you know if LFS supports this?

It's not really a case of whether LFS directly supports being controller by a table (or other device with gyroscopic/accelerometer hardware like a Wiimote or mobile phone). It's a case of getting the device to appear to LFS as a suitable input device. According to this post you can use some Nokia devices with LFS. You could investigate whether there's any similar software for your tablet.

Quote from JezzaFromAUS :

Any words of advice?

Why do you want to do this? Is it for novelty or to actually use it as a superior control method to what you currently use? If you're doing it hoping to become a better/faster driver you'd probably be better off just buying a cheap wheel if you can't afford a good one. Any control method that relies on wifi and has to go through some conversion (which would be the case with this) is inherently going to be laggier and more prone to problems than a 'native', wired solution.

Quote from Rhygin :

I wish people would educate themselves about M. Gandhi, he was not a nice man.

Gandhi, go to hell.

Incidentally, I'd be interested to hear what you have to say (or what you've been told to say) about mother Theresa.

Surprise of the race: D'Ambrosio not being penalised for his half-spin in the pitlane.

Hi...can someone tell three_jump to say hello on the uStream, please?

Tramampoline!

Why do you want to grease it?

Thanks for the feedback all

Quote from Jakg :

Are you looking for evidential recording, or just good video clips?

Bit of both but probably more just nice driving videos.

Quote from SpooNJaB :

wheres that? looks familiar.

Have you been to Scotland before?

I've been playing about for a little while trying to record some videos of nice roads in the countryside. I've been looking at different places and ways to mount the camera to try and dampen bumps in the road and minimise reflections.

Here are a few sample videos:

1080p test
480p test
480p overtake

At the moment I'm fiddling about with improving sound quality. Here are 2 clips with the same video but different sound:

Audio Test 1
Audio Test 2

So, I'm asking for some feedback from you fine people. General feedback and specific feedback about the audio (i.e. which of the above is better) would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Enough water on the road (he says he should have waited out the rain, suggesting a torrential downpour) and even on good tyres (with decent tread) you can get in a lot of trouble at low speeds.

Quote from Dygear :

Yeah, everyone was up in arms about Moore's Law being broken, because it was no longer about GHz, as Intel said it.

Moore's law concerns transistor count, not clock speed. It is still accurate and being adhered to (within reasonable bounds).

From the movie Kontroll:

A guy walks into a bar and asks the barman for 10 shots of vodka. The barman asks if the guy is sure he wants 10 and the guy says he's sure. So, the barman puts 10 glasses on the bar and pours a shot into each of them. The guy picks up the first one and pours it all over the floor. Then he picks up the last one and pours it all over the floor. He then downs the rest of them, slamming each glass down on the bar as he goes. After he's finished the barman asks him what the hell he was doing wasting 2 shots. The guy replies "Well, the first one always tastes horrible and the last one always makes me sick!".

Quote from Stefani24 :

if there's an insim packet going out that tells you how much fuel every player has

There isn't (not through InSim alone, anyway).

Quote from Krane :

Most recent "release" Senna (2010)

Obviously I omitted that intentionally because Boris had already mentioned it

Quote from Boris Lozac :

Guys are there more documentaries/films about Senna?

There are a number of official and unofficial documentaries about Senna. The most well-known were included with the Official Tribute DVD:

• The Right To Win (documentary - 52 mins)
  
• The Lifestyle of Ayrton Senna in Brazil (documentary - 44 mins)
  
• Racing Is In My Blood (documentary - 52 mins)

Some of the others (including non-English language), in no particular order:

• Roda Viva (Portuguese Audio)
  
• Inside Track
  
• Farewell With Supreme Love (Japanese Audio)
  
• Il Mio Nome E' Leggenda (Italian Audio)
  
• Rede Globo feature, 1994 (Portuguese Audio)
  
• SFIDE (Italian Audio)
  
• La Course Dans Le Sang (French Audio)
  
• The History (Japanese Audio)
  
• Discovery Channel - Civilisation - The Rivals: Prost And Senna
  
• Driver's Eyes - Ayrton Senna (Japanese Audio)
  
• Ayrton Senna vs Alain Prost vs Nigel Mansell - Super Battle (Japanese Audio)
  
• Turbo Year - Senna vs Prost (French Audio)
  
• Uma Estrela Chamada (Portuguese Audio)
  
• Une Etoile Nommée (French Audio)

This list isn't complete by any means, but maybe it helps

I'm on a horse!

Quote from Billicp :

im ok with most of the stuff but that above is just jiberish

What do you think you're "ok" with?

Quote from spankmeyer :

Accurate representation of Glasgow?

No.

• Not enough of the violence appears to be motivated by racism or sectarianism.
  
• Some of the weaponry used appears to be far too technically advanced.
  
• The combat appears to be far too organised.
  
• The surroundings appear to be far too clean; almost totally devoid of litter.
  
• The workies appear to be actually doing something.
  
• It's not raining.
  

Quote from The Moose :

Nice. Got it back on topic and managed to recommend a film I seem to have missed out on. Good work fella

There are also a number of other dystopian films similar to Equilibrium (which the director mentions in the commentary for Equilibrium). Some are obvious, others less so:

Nineteen Eighty-Four
Fahrenheit 451
Logan's Run
Gattaca
Brave New World
THX 1138
The Matrix
Alphaville
A Clockwork Orange
The Handmaid's Tale
Judge Dredd
Triumph Of The Will

Proof - I don't even know if I like this but it has a couple of the most interesting characters I've seen for a while.

Quote from Billicp :

im not giving up on this :-) there has to be a way around to implement such a thing :-) not to bothered about the kers ! just the DRS :-)

While I admire your determination there isn't currently a way to do this with InSim alone (i.e. change intake restriction / added mass while a car is on track without requiring pitting). The only possible way (and I stress it's only possible, I don't know if it's been done before) would be through memory editing of the LFS process while it's running (which is how some other LFS add-ons operate). However, reliably operating such a system in such a way that it works flawlessly and it can be administered effectively (i.e. people can't cheat it) would be very difficult (if not practically impossible). Good luck, but I somehow doubt you'll make it work.
