The least I can do is say, "thanks".


Thanks to you are trying to stay informed.
Thanks to you are trying to help others get informed.
Thanks that dispite others questioning what is right infront of their face you still keep your cool and explain a bit more.




(Common guys, 7/7, an exercise with almost exactly the same situation, and you call it coincidence? While the same happend with 9/11?)
What fears me the most is that the whole world just tolorates it.. and that most people on this earth spend so much time getting brainwashed they don't even want to look around to see if there might be any truth in all this. Why would a "democratic" goverment do such a thing? Ask yourself, search, inform...

-In-formation-
Have you been in-formed, or did you in-form yourself???


Please drive-tru nothing to see here, just go and consume, watch some more tv. Your born to work not think!

*warning* alot of off-topic philosophy (and typos)

First of, sorry if I add more oil to the fire, it's not my intention. I'm just a curious person and it seems there are quite some people here who did some informing of their own and could give me some nice feedback...

I would like to point out that I agree with Electrik Kar that in this current capitalistic democracy each consumer can offer a great deal of "vote" just by buying or not buying certain products. "Be the change you want to see in the world."
(TV's now a days breakdown alot sooner, the TV from my grandma is still working.. If companys wish to keep selling stuff, your ipod needs to go kaput else you prolly wont buy an other one soon..Simple business. *horrifying thought* would the same go for medical company's? medicine is big business)

Well of to the asking..

I have heard about the galactic equator and our sun aligning to it, is this confirmable? From the place's I heard about it they often referred to the sun gaining activity due to this alignment. I think they said something about in the next 5 years this allignment should take place.

I also heard about global media giving a one sided view on events (even in this thread this was posted by a journalist). (BTW this reminded me of infowars.com movie's I've seen on youtube) Ofcourse such a thing is hard to be prove or disprove as a fact. (Proving something doesn't exist is by it self a paradox..) But what gain would somebody have by controlling the mass media and what would their goal be?

I also wonder. Global warming not being natural but man made.. isn't man part of nature?

(Just asking stupid questions here, but please do give me some nice feedback, I'm always happy to learn.)

My dad used to say (or still says this). "Enviromentalist are egoists. They are only afraid that the human race will die out.. The planet will survive all our idiotsy, new plants will grow and new beings will develop don't worry..." I don't necessarily agree with him (though he has a point), he does however drive a big http://upload.wikimedia.org/wi ... t_Chevrolet_Avalanche.jpg .

I don't have a point here just asking... Reading alot of strange stuff on the .net these days and my image of society, evolution and human history is changing even more. It was already changed alot from growing up as an atheist not believing in anything accept for "life's hard but the front of a train is harder" , to experiencing for myself Jose Silva's alpha training (meditation), to finding buddhism, reading "Nothing in This Book Is True, but It's Exactly How Things Are" and needing alot of time to comprehend it, seeing "What the bleep do we know" 1 and later part 2, finding out about the mayan calender, Ian Xel Lungold, José Arguelles, Niburu, Drunvalo Melchizedek, Michael Tsarion and alot more. And I'm trying to find sence in all this info, it seems like a water rapid. In - formation pouring in quicker and quicker, more and more.
I'd like to find my own form...

Yeah autoX for fun!!

Hmm I think the problem might be that on the big grids if an incident happens, and well they do which is normal for racing, the people behind it think "hey a crash this offers opportunity to get by 5 people at once" instead of think "hey a crash maybe I should lift, maybe even brake, take a bit more care, wait for a gap so I can drive through without creating a big pileup"...

The problem is though with real racing if such a big crash would happen safety car would come out, and those that where nice enough to wait for the crashed cars to roll to the side of the track have a chance to catch up with the rest of the field.
While in LFS if you are carefull wait for the big crash to settle so you can drive through cleanly the other cars will be half a lap away already. So maybe it could be cool if the AI gets boosted for patch Y it could be used as a safety car feature ?!

Well just my 2 cents of what I've seen on the big grid servers, yellow flags don't mean, "Floor it, you can now pass em all in one swoop." ....

greetz and enjoy the game

I guess he is not asking about the options he has within LFS, but what would be used on the track nowadays.. as in real GTR cars, do they use, sequential, paddles or stick? Do they have a clutch pedal or not? Etc.

But well I don't know the answer to those question . (Wondering myself 2 though)

hmm good to see I'm not the only one with this (thanks search feature)

tried all the lfs settings and catalyst setting to try and make it go away but to no avail.
I also see it only on fernbay, although I do see dark lines on other track but they are alot less like a grapix bug like these..

Well I made a picture to attach and did the research to check all tracks, and test all setting. And I used to search function, so although this post is useless I just had to make it after all the trouble

Well cya at X, tomorrow ¿?

On a public road They got quite a crowd though, seems there was not much to do at that time
I would get bored too watching stones and sand all day...

Biggest problem for me is not having ForceFeedback under Linux, so there goes the whole point of trying to get it to run

Btoryo, I guess he is using animated gif ...

In my general experience I have noted that, if people judge they are ofthen afraid of being judged... that said, if somebody "likes" you or "loves" you he/she should except all that makes you you.. your good and "bad" sides, your cool and uncool hobbys whatever those maybe

So if people judge your shoes (example) they have prolly been bullied about theirs, are feel inconfident in someway about their shoes/feet/clothing .... this is just an example it happend in many forms and ways, just self reflect what thing you way more important on appearance of others, maybe it tells you something about yourself illepall

I think it is important not to judge to quickly, things happen for a reason even if it is something to get through weekend. So you can enjoy a full week of work/school again

Enjoy life and let other enjoy it too! Maybe you can even help others enjoy life more then they are doing now!

greetz and have a nice day now

nice one teaz !! damn love it

uhm isn't S1 update just like the demo? so you still have the same cars and tracks but with the new physics etc?

but you mean that people who bought S1 when only S1 was out and never bought S2 when that came out cant play S1 anymore?!

I have 2 friends who only bought S1, also met some demo drivers who do have S1 but didn't buy S2... for those people their purshase has become useless since they cant join S2 server running S1 combo's and there are no S1 servers.. so they can only play offline (which is boring since the Ai is uhm..) but as you say it they cant even do that since they would not be able to unlock their product??!!


Well imho although this has been suggested before, S1 users should have been able to join S2 servers running S1 combo's (TBO on FernBay, LX on southcity whatever...) but this was not done due to people being able to hack the game. Although I wonder since now S1 is not sold seperately anymore howmany S1 licence holders out there would actualy make use of this possible hack... To bad though, even if it was change now not many old S1 users would know and still come online.. I always say the more the merrier imho there are way to less licenced drivers online.. most of the time there are even more demo drivers then S2 drivers. Giving us less choice in combo's

ok now i'll quit just my 2 cents though I'm happy with my S2 licence just a bit unhappy that I confinced my friends to buy S1 back in the day..



edit : maybe I misread, ofcourse I understand you cant unlock the old S1, but I think you are able to unlock just the S1 content in the new S2 download... right? Sorry for the rant!

Quote from Gunn :

Vista will fuel the Linux revolution. Light a torch and grab your pitchfork.

damn i only wish my games would run smooth on linux too... it's just that what's holding me back... ofcourse all the free apps presuaded me to linux (which ever distro you choose) openoffice gimp etc etc, why let yourself be ripped of by microsoft

btw i still run my games on win98se have had alot less problems then all my friends who switched to XP when it came around... alot less!!


greetings SMOKE

ow and an S2 ban is abit more then a demo ban.. since it is a license ban so they wouldn't be able to get around it by changing IP. And most admins would exchange their account name banning them even before they ever set foot on the server

Well the biggest thing ofcourse is more track, more cars MORE FUN!!

I have an idea, why not drive demo with a few S2 drivers, so to create a clean racing enviroment and promote S2 a bit more... We could be online say every friday for a few hours on a certain server. Or maybe in general S2 racers could join demo server once a while to tell people where to get setups, how to drive.. etc etc To just show demo racers the nice lfs community

What I dont understand (well i do, people want stuff for free) is that there are almost always more demo drivers then s2 drivers... if this would change it would be great for the versitility of s2 combo's being run and it would allow for more leagues to flourish.. illepall

Well to any demo racer that is even a bit serious about racing, only thing I can say is spend that money and get going with the fun!!

For those not already following the race, the stream has started an hour ago.

Still 4 1/2 hours of racing to go!

Je kunt dan zeker nog mee doen, races zijn om de twee weken dus je zult er niet zo veel missen, tevens is dit seizoen opgezet als 2 aparte cups en een overall championship.. maar uiteindelijk gaat het om mee doen en fun hebben dus kom zeker na je vakantie mee racen!!

Jep jep dit wordt weer lache dit seizoen hehe

zie jullie allemaal op de track Donderdag !!! grrr

I'm gonna try linux too, again. For office and desktop things it is very nice, specially with OpenOffice.Org etc, being all free.. But no gaming on linux I guess, even with the ut2003 awhile back which had a linux install version, I lost like 30/40fps... So I think I'll need to keep a dual for games.

I just ate chilli sin carne...

43 laps Blackwood reverse with GTI, with important points to be gained for the Dutch season.. Last lap last turn in 6th position, my 2 direct competitors behind me.... The number 2 in the race ran out of fuel and I managed to hit him comming out of the last turn on the way to the checkqueredflag illepall

man was I mad But well we all play this game for fun! (right?)

In the end it didn't matter that much that I lost some points there, since I had to forfeit the season due to a new job which takes place only at night...

Hope others have more luck during their league races and ofcourse I hope everybody enjoys their gaming, hmm or just enjoy life in general !!

Cheers, SMOKE

Imho, reverse grid is FUN, once all the fools know the track a bit so they brake in time.. If you have normal grid, once your in the top 3, races get very boring.. since the guys infront are faster, and guys behind are slower, it is just doing your laps.. Reverse grid forces you to think and act, move around the slow guys, outbrake some one.. make sure you exit quicker and overtake em... etc etc.. I like the action, and incidents belong to racing..

btw if you got/get smashed from behind your not fast enough (just kidding)

Most of the really fun races I had where on reverse grid servers. You finnish top 5 start at the back, and fight your way to the top 5 again

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Have you actually been to any other "lands" though? Try the Netherlands for starters.

I must say, as a Dutchy, I feel ashamed of the path our political leaders have headed. More and more things that contradict the once free minded way of thinking, plus our Bakellende (the chief) seems to like Bush alot and does everything Bush asks of him. While it seems we are not really helping rebuilding country's but it looks more like we are shooting people because they are hungry...
That said I must say that at our last elections it was a very close call between CDA and PVDA. CDA got the most votes but not enough to rule on it own, so they had to find a partner, but instead of PVDA (or more left winged party) they went for D66 + VVD, which left us with a more right minded, or kapitalistic goverment. So our current path of politics doesn't represent 47% of our voters... Lets just hope that at the next election things are a bit more balanced...

I think the sentence "The land of the free" is a contradiction in it self..

How can a bordered in patch of earth be "free" ? illepall

But seeing as many American inhabbitants take it as a personal insult I won't go in to any of the political "things"...

Respecting the death is never wrong, might be even nicer if you show your grace to all those died and not only your "own", ow and who have fought in a war..

Funny thing that wikipedia, "Nowadays most Americans use the date as merely marking the unofficial start of the summer vacationing season as many government parks and beaches start their summer schedule on the Friday before. Many outdoor community swimming pools also open on this day."


But again, I hope every human being feels good and happy And thus I apologize if I offended anyone with speaking my opinion, cause I don't live in "The land of the free"...

In normal racing situation you where in the lead (unless you saw a blue flag but then you should not keep the racing line, but give him the inside line trough the turn), so you where aloud to make blocking move, as long as hey wasn't next to you.. It is his responsiblity to pass you with out harm.
But as stated before most people on an oval server have a short temper and they might start spamming "SHIFT+S" etc at the slightst racing incident illepall

Ofcourse everyone is entitled to their own fun
