Hmm, now that's odd. I'm sure I've seen the behaviour where a new skin with the same filename was not downloaded by a client a few years ago. Maybe this potential bug is related? I don't see any concrete information in that thread whether it's a bug or not though.
Oh, wow...I stand corrected. When was that feature added? Sorry, r3zp3k7.
If other people have already downloaded your previous version of the skin (V1) and have it in the skin cache on their computer the new version won't be downloaded to replace it. If other people don't have V1 downloaded then V2 will be downloaded instead. You're better off uploading it with a different name to ensure that everyone gets V2 of the skin.
We don't know yet. I hope the answer to these questions will be yes at the time of release.
However, I see no evidence that the 12C's trick 'proactive chassis control' is simulated (the car has what appear to be normal anti-roll bars, which aren't present on the real car (source)).
Look, we can't be too hard on you. I mean, we're all human and we all make mistakes. The important thing is that you've got some passion. So what if you published libellous remarks (and you still haven't acted to correct some of those mistakes, such as the thread title) with sketchy and unconfirmed details (and you also managed to link those unconfirmed details into generalisations about people from the UK, which are also somewhat sketchy)? The important thing to remember is that this is just a dip in your normal level of reportage, right? I mean, you've never before written anything like this without basic fact checking and waiting for the correct information to come to light, right? Good. Keep on truckin' then. Looking forward to your next piece...
:lovies:
So, guys...try and keep this on the down-low, but I've got a bit of information about this. A friend of a friend works in New Zealand and he says that the UK govt. actually bribed the Malasyian govt. and the woman involved to get them to change the story to feature a Malaysian diplomat as the suspect, rather than the true perp, the British diplomat (which Racer X's excellent detective work was able to pinpoint). Will the UK govt. stop at nothing to protect potential sex offenders? Shocking!
For the easily confused, the above is sarcasm.

Here are a few unsorted/'random' shots I've taken over the last 18 months or so. Some of them are from things like testing a new piece of gear (e.g. a new lens, wireless shutter release, variable ND filter), some are from days out where I only took a few shots, some are quite 'abstract' (read: odd...) and some are animals in the back garden.
I welcome any comments and/or constructive criticism. If you want to know anything about a particular shot in the gallery (including "Why have you picked this, it's terrible?") just let me know which picture(s) and I'll try and answer.
Thanks for reading.

William Wallace monument from Loudoun Hill. I probably should have shot this at a wider aperture to try and blur out the trees in the background, but I like the strong contrast between the sky and monument.
From a small bridge on the Stroan Loch in the Galloway Forest Park. Unfortunately the water was never still, so the reflection isn't great. I like the 'God rays' coming from the clouds.
Another one from the Galloway Forest Dark Sky park. Unfortunately at the time I didn't have an additional flash (just the pop-up flash on my 650D which produced really bad fill light on the tree (too hard, not uniform)), so I tried to bring up some detail in the tree in post-production with some exposure and shadow increases. This is also quite noisy, but I like it anyway.
This was from a test of my Yongnuo wireless shutter release set. The garden is in shade most of the time (obstacles on roughly 3 sides mean there isn't a lot of light most of the time), so I had to use a flash to get a relatively fast shutter speed without bumping the ISO too much. Unfortunately the flash sync speed for my camera/flash is 1/200th of a sec, so this image wasn't quite as crisp as it could have been, with a bit of motion blur. Also, the flash light is a bit harsh (didn't have a diffuser for it back then).
One of the first test images I shot with my Tamron 70-300 VC USD lens. I like the colour and detail in the wings. Bokeh quality could be a bit better though, the branches in the background are a bit distracting. I suppose that's one of the downsides of not being able to afford an F2.8 or F4 though.
Saw this on a photo walk around where I live a couple of weeks after I got the camera. I liked the balance in composition between the tree and the cell tower.
Another one from early on. There was something about the side lighting in this that caught my eye. I wish I'd paid more attention to the background and attempted to re-frame it to clean that up.

Don't you guys know? He never lets facts get in the way of a good story. It's better to spout libellous and unsubstantiated rumours than to try and get some information.
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised (due to developments in a few areas). Just want to see what figures they use though.
I'll be interested to see how much downforce the 98T generates too (given that they have the official license, I assume they'll have technical input too, so should be pretty accurate).
Although this is indeed worrying (and I hope the UK govt. will take action against the person, at least to determine how credible the evidence is), your thread title appears misleading. According to the linked article:
Of course, burglary and "assault with intent to rape" would still be a horrifying thing for the victim to experience, but it isn't actually rape, as your thread title suggests.

Vettel has spent so little time this season running without reliability or performance problems (in all sessions, not just races) that there's not enough data to make a meaningful conclusion. If Vettel had the same level of reliability Ricciardo has enjoyed so far this season the gap would be a lot closer, and may even be in Vettel's favour.
I feel a little like that myself, to be honest. Earlier in this thread you asked for a real-world example where security was able to be compromised simply by using unpatched software and running without an AV or some form of real-time protection (i.e. not by visiting shady sites or running .exe files from unknown sources). I provided such an example here (i.e. malvertising being served by major/popular/reputable websites which don't require any user interaction and don't require the user to visit a shady site), but you chose to ignore that post.
Gerry Marshall, Baby Bertha and Team DTV. Some cool vintage action and a sweet onboard lap of Oulton Park in a monster of a car.
Approx. 33 secs per lap in an approx 78-80 second lap with approx 60% full throttle per lap is quite a chunk.
One of the most obvious examples would be some form of malvertising/drive-by-downloading which exploits vulnerabilities in browsers or the OS itself. The HTML5 FillDisk proof-of-concept exploit (see this video) is an example of effectively a browser exploit which requires no interaction from the user other than visiting a site with the exploit code. Due to the aforementioned increase in malvertising, this type of exploit code could be served by even popular/reputable websites (meaning you could be hit even if you didn't visit shady sites). All it takes is one compromised advert. These type of implementation bugs (the FillDisk exploit effectively worked by exploiting a poor implementation in major browsers) are exactly the sort of real world threat you leave yourself up to by using unpatched software. Up-to-date browsers and operating systems (along with AV/security applications) definitively decrease the risk of this type of infection e.g. by scanning or blocking remote scripts.
I'm also not sure how you can claim with absolute certainty that you've been virus/trojan/malware free for a decade, since there are certain types of malware which are very difficult or even nearly impossible to detect (rootkits, for instance, would be a classic example).
The automatic ignition cut is there to try and save some processing power. AFAIK you can't disable this function. If you really want the engine not to cut out you have to either keep moving or rev it once in a while.
