Quote from -NightFly- :

Seems a pretty naive thought for me...for example, in estonia, prices of goods are as expensive as our neighbours: finland (sugar, milk etc are even more expensive btw)...but...paychecks are 4 times lower here.

Then you obviously haven't understood what i wrote. Low income countries need to raise thier wages so that when they buy from neighbouring countries they dont loose out. Which was pretty much what i said.

Quote from BullHorn :

I wanted to buy a G27 ($300US) but apparently all shops here sell it for $550US because of customs ($48US) + VAT ($48US) + shipping ($120US because Israel isn't part of Europe).

So can you buy a G25 in Egypt or Turkey? If so get a mate, fill a van, make $$'s.

+1 Everyone should do this.
facebook group anyone?

Petition your government to increase wages & the prices of goods. Sounds like you need some economic stimulus. Either that or find a better country to live & work in. Out of interest how much does it cost to rent or buy a property in lith?
(btw your tax rates are worse than ours)

How much tax do you pay on your income & on products?

So is this a new way to cheat the Tour De France, or another way for Americans to get even more fat?

The Concept E-Bike was developed in conjunction with cyber-Wear, the German company that runs Ford's Lifestyle Collection (marketing products) such as sunglasses, watches, jackets, gloves etc. The idea it appears, is to use the E-Bike as a marketing tool to show off Ford’s ability to produce cutting edge technology.

i wonder if they demo it to the public

With new plasma rocket tech there is a possibility of sending a probe to another system within our life time (although we may not be alive to see the results).

Silverstone, Thursday 16 June 2011 – The 2011 GT Academy Race Camp drew to a thrilling conclusion today when 19-year-old Jann Mardenborough from Cardiff took the chequered flag in a four-way, 20-minute race on Silverstone’s national circuit. Pole position and the race win in the Nissan 370Z was enough to satisfy Head Judge Eddie Irvine that Jann was a worthy winner of GT Academy 2011 – a collaboration between Nissan and PlayStation® that saw over 90,000 people from 10 European countries take part on the Gran Turismo®5 game.

Jann will now begin an intensive Driver Development Programme and compete in a number of UK national races to enable him to qualify for an International race licence. In January, 2012 he will line up on the grid of the Dubai 24 Hour race in a Nissan 370Z GT4 car – the ultimate prize in what has become the ultimate racing competition since its inception in 2008.

Thibault Lacombe (FRA), Carlos Murillo (ESP) and Danilo Bordino (ITA) finished in that order behind Jann in both the race and the overall competition. These four had been selected earlier in the day by Irvine for the final race challenge. Sascha Meyenborg (DEU) and Thomas Arends (NED) had been eliminated after their first taste of driving a real GT4 race car around Silverstone’s Stowe Circuit.

are you old enuf to drive?

Help the Kepler mission find real planets.

Pretty cool you get to review actual data sets from the NASA Kepler mission. Further more if you identify a Planet you will get to share the scientific credit for doing so.

Quote from CSF :

iRacing is the best game ever. I don't know why you all complain so much, Dave Kaemmer and his team do a terrific job in such small offices. When they move and have a nicer view, I am sure they will find it easier to bring out more terrific released like the 2.0 patch!

You are taking the pi$$ right?

A glimpse of the future? maybe

Nice car, shame about the sim they chose to put it in. How is iR 1.55?
Have they released more ntm yet?

Quote from JPeace :

I'm not ruling out that some other non-carbon based life-forms may exist, for instance a metalic-based life-form that could withstand greater gravitational forces than humans may exist. But I am sure that we would never find any,....

Why mettalic? Organic life forms could live on a planet with twice or even three times earths gravity. Imagine a 4ft human with thicker bone structure & a smaller skull.
We will eventually find something, but it may take a very long time. There could even be life within our own solar system. What if an organism has evolved to live within the methane lakes of Titan?

Quote from shashdev :

So, we would have to go and look at around 10 millions stars just in our galaxy to even have a fair chance at finding another civilization

Surely you mean Planets not Stars? Life as we know it cannot exist on a star.
Or do you mean 10milllion solar systems?

Amazing, another lfs'er makes the big time. gratz JJ . I wish i could put my talents to use.

At its price point it is a direct competitor for those upgrading to triple monitor setups. The immersion factor would be far greater than any multi monitor setup could ever give.

The most current estimates guess that there are 100 to 200 billion galaxies in the Universe, each of which has hundreds of billions of stars.

No doubt what so ever. I'd like to see someone come up with a plausible argument against.

Very good although its not just about the Spa circuit as titled. Its about the fans experience of an F1 race.

Quote from PMD9409 :

Many others seem to have used it just fine. BTW fix your avatar, the toilet is offset.

I hear ya PMD. So you thought you'd play a little prank on me because iRacing are a bunch of lieing, thieving, delusional, idiots (apart from dk) who produce a half arse product then proclaim its the best thing since sliced bread.

Dont take the piss .
