Quote from MAGGOT :I disagree completely. Looks spectacular, but doesn't look bad to me at all. In the 60s, yea, but not now. I'd be surprised if there were any serious (or even moderate) injuries.

I get where your comming from. These days the safety bar has been increased especially within the cockpits and helmets. I still would find it a "bad" crash, but i agree with what you say.

Id love to hear on what were the steps taken to get to where you are now? What series did you get into? Bad seasons/good seasons?.. Sponsors? Money? Scouts? Im talking about, how did you progress.

Im sure others would love to hear about it to, thats if you would want to share that.

Very impressive Nick, Best wishes and good luck!

Quote from Hahmo :What's all the flaming about :/
I think this is for fun - i enter if i know how to make a picture related to the theme. People can criticize, but there's no need to start flaming that takes up to the page 5 after one week..
Some people might take this too seriously :/

Eh i agree, but id be pretty shitty if someone out of no where decides to say something in my entry sucks..

no need for that bs.

i know i may sound like a cock right now, but this is making the competition interesting!

My current car. Sold my subaru for that so i got something to get my kart around. Thats just an image off google (dont have any pictures of my car atm). Such a great car to drive, happy with it, but now after thinking about vans, i think they would have been better to have.

Looking for an R32 GTR though, just cant seem to find an original R32. Every one ive seen has modifications etc etc. I dont mind 1 or 2 mods, as long as its clean and not bling bling!

Does anyone know about the N1 and how much they are?

@Matrixi, that looks beautiful man! Good on ya!

I came on here to post about this thinking its not like it would have been spoken about already. But its been brought up. Not long ago i kinda picked up on this but didnt really care til i saw the news.

What i saw when i noticed it, is how its shaped. Ive been smoking marlboro reds for the last 4 years, so when i started noticing the barcode, couldnt help but notice it resembles the packet ALOT. Not sure if the packets look different overseas but to me, it makes alot of sence.

You got the black bit of the barcode which is Marlboro at the bottom. Theres the white background, in the thin red barcode in the middle and then the thicker red lines at the top, which is where the red is on the packet. It clearly resembles the packet.

I think DWB is trying to say who gives a shit what the camera is like on a mobile. Its like arguing about the cigarette lighters in two different cars.

Quote from Jakg :Just to point out, a removeable battery IS handy. I have the OEM battery for my phone, and a second extended one - when I want heavy use I swap batteries. Similarly, an extra battery is a fiver so I can just swap batteries if I want an instant recharge. And eventually all batteries wear out - so you can replace it easily.

Can you do this on any iPod? No. They are all soldered in... and when the battery dies (it will), your shiny Apple device becomes a brick.

Not likely to happen in the next 2 years, admittedly, but on the PC side they used to run for a very long time, but they have made the iPod / iPhone range disposable, simply because the tiny size and cost saving of a non-replaceable battery has a much larger advantage - you will have to buy a new one after a while.

True, didnt see it in that perspective. I guess it just comes down to person. Im fine with charging my battery whenever it needs charging, where as now ive learnt, some people like have multiple batterys charged already. Makes sence.

Had that for almost a year.

Quote from Jakg :The iPhone may not have as many features as i'd like, and Apple may be very very draconian - but it just... works.

My G1 can do pretty much everything the iPhone can and a whole lot more - but like every other smartphone... ever its quite slow and clunky to do so. The iPhone is instant - not because it's massively fast, but because it's been designed to feel fluent. Similarly, I hate software keyboards as on every device i've used them on (phones, tablets, PDA's, all in ones) it's been totally unnatural - thus why my current phone has a hardware keyboard. The first time I properly used my friends iPod Touch I was typing at almost exactly the same speed as on my phone - the software keyboard works * brilliantly*. Flash? Yeah, but it's the same for Android - not really their fault. File manager? As useful as it can be, you don't *need* to access the files on your phone. I do it alot when modding my phone, yes, but if you actually *use* the thing it's a bit pointless.

Yes the N95 may have more features - but are they all essential? Bluetooth, perhaps, IR? No way. 5 MP camera? Lens is more important, iPhone does very well there, Printing? It's a phone for gods sake. The N95 does *not* have such a fluent interface, though, and it doesn't have a touchscreen either - which makes browsing the web painful.

As much as it pains me to say this, my next phone will be an iPhone - just waiting to see how the iPhone 4G develops. All this extra hardware is gonna make it mighty expensive, especially the less useful stuff like higher resolution (I love high resolution devices - but VGA is enough for me on a screen that size) or the front facing video camera (i dont know anyone thats made a video call... ever - most people use the phone while doing something, as a pose to standing in "conversation mode")

In terms of features an Android phone would probably walk all over the N95 - but to use on a day to day basis the iPhone is probably going to better.

And no-one could ever, ever call me an Apple fanboy...

You sir, deserve an apple! /pun

It seems this man can address a point that puts it over that image posted by Velociround. That image represents every non apple user on this planet talking about how the nokia has 100x more features which makes it a better phone.

This post too, also comming from a ex-nokia user since i was able to have my own phone when i was younger and never EVER liking apple. Dont like apple products, i think the ipad isnt good either, and their macs? i wont get into that, but the iphone, jakg says it all.

I still think nokia's are the best in mobiles, but some people can accept that apple made a phone thats absolutely amazing.

---

See that image can point out apple may be missing something, but it wont hurt if i was to reply to those questions.

Iphone camera does have good quality for on the go pictures. Other than that, ill use my DSLR thankyou very much. Also, i have about 15 apps that play with the camera and image on the phone that makes me think “f*ck, i shouldn’t have spent so much money on a CS4 Photoshop licence.

I got an app that has video recording and works really well.

Dont really need turn by turn unless im somewhat retarded. The maps on the iphone are great.

Wireless what?

You need to remove the battery for what reason? My sim goes at the top, not under the battery.

App for IM.

Video calling? Cmon, does the majority of phone users video call more often than voice call?

MMS works fine on the iphone for me.

Streaming audio stations? You got to be kidding me if you cant find that on the iphone.

One touch dialing? Who has the touch screen?

Video-out port, i know for a fact you can buy a cord from APPLE which allows this.

Haha ok, well if these computers go up to $3000 then we have abit of a budget then.

Max to spend $1500AUD.

Ive just discovered ultra mobile laptops and i see the difference between them and a netbook. I see netbooks are more just for everyday uses in a compact device, very handy etc. the ultra mobile laptops are more like a PC in a mini laptop, which is more what im after.

Im after something with Crysis on the move (if you said that as exageration, i get what your saying and its what im after, but not litrally after something that high end). Top graphics cards, perfect with multimedia and can handle a shit load of memory etc.

Buy good, i ment better than good. The best you can get for my budget.

But then you say theres all types.. I dont really know i guess.. Maybe you could recomend the best for that budget and what im after with my description. Appreciate your help Jakg!

Hmm...

More practical i guess..

Something with a good graphics/video card.
good memory
good processor.

More phased on the performance and how much it can handle. Not fussed about a big screen, if i wanted a big screen i would have planned on an actual laptop.

Ive been looking at the alienware x11 or whatever its called. That seems more high end than most.. but what do you guys think of that? or should i stay away from alienware..?
Looking for a netbook

Netbook, mini laptop, whatever they call them these days.

I am after a netbook, but dont know which one to buy. I thought i would come here as i know alot of people here are smart when it comes to technology.

So really a simple question, and i have checked reviews etc, but wanted to see what the people here have to say.

Clearly, what is the best netbook out at the moment or will be comming out in the next say max, 1month from now.

Price is not a problem, just after the best performing and quality netbook.

Thanks.

I have the iphone myself and rate it highly. Would surely be getting the 4G when released. I think it looks great, cant wait for it.

Contradicting when i have an iphone, but i do notice some people are smug about their apple products.

I agree that alot of apple people are "smug",

but dude, you need to relax with the whole anti-apple thing.

You say they are no good. good for you.

I say they are great, but i dont come here rambling on how good they are and how better they are compaired to nokia's or such.

You need an apple.

Sorry to double post.


But what about this. You have andro posting the original picture abit above. He is showing us the original and what he has done to change that. So its noted that its not all his work (not like anyone took credit as their whole work) and it i guess allowes the voter to think if they can appreciate it as much.

So having the original picture posted next to the final entry in the VOTING TOPIC to people that edited a picture outside of LFS. Theirs some work that even though external LFS scene with LFS car that just simply deserves to win with the level of detail and work done compaired to some that looked the best by the eye but hardly any work was done.

Quote from e2mustang :this is why i said not to use external pics

Dont take it to heart mate, no matter what rules you put in, in any subject, no matter what you say, rules eventually get stretched and worked around that they go that far beyond the rules.

And then you got the complainers like me that will make you think different.


Formula one for example.. 'nuf said.

Like i said, skips ENTRY looks great.


But i been thinking the same thing the last few weeks.

Ill spend 1 hour on something before entering. Looks great for a complete stock lfs screenshot turned into edited and great racing shot.

But then i look at some other people who copy and past an LFS car and looks TEN times better than mine, because of the level of graphics in the LFS system, and i think then, why bother..? and i dont.

Then you got a guy like Lynce that you just cant compete with . Never been a massive fan of the high contrast effects that he works on, but the guy is a guinues with his work. I really gotta give it to that guy because he runs off his imagination and own work, not something that was found on google images and transformed into an LFS shot. Think about it. If lynce was using Volk rims, external LFS scenes and all of that, this would be Lynce's showcase forum in my opinion, not a Photomode competition. He does amazing work minus external objects, think about what he could do if he is using it.

Sure it may have took some time, ive done that work and sometimes takes hours. But half the work is already done. Its like having a premade templete and tricking it out with an LFS car. But then saying "Hey! i spent hours transforming it, give me credit, i deserve an entry too."

Time means nothing with design, most people should know that. Sometimes when making art you spend 1hour on the main part, and then another 7 hours (no joke) on all the tiny tiny bits that most people wont see to the untrained eye. Applies for everything in this world.

I agree with what 5stag says, +1 to him. It does eventually feel that its just copy and paste when you jsut cant compete with someone that has transformed other work into their LFS work.

But i guess this competition is what MX freestyle (dirt bike tricks) was like. Before the backflip was done, it was all creative tricks mid air. Then as soon as the backflip was done, it was learn it or you will never win. I know people backed off from their passion simply because they didnt have it in them to propell a 120kg dirt bike in the air while doing a backflip....

..talent wasted.

Same here applies, just obviously in a very smaller way.

Im for both sides, because getting an other image and working with that is very hard and tricky as well, but.. ..still, just doesnt seem as if "but you didnt create all of it".
