The personality test there is also interesting

Hey thanks for your query, I have checked out everything about you and I predict that your ideal job BBO is an alcohol tester. Good luck in your new career.

Yeah

Quote from hyntty :

Doesn't Merc have too much drivers anyway, when even Gary Paffet doesn't fit into their A-team? Isn't race winning more important than PR-value?

Well you should ask that Norbert Haug, not me

Mercedes motorsport competition director Norbert Haug said on TV after the last DTM race, that he asked Villeneuve to come, whenever he has time, and have a test run in the DTM car. And that it would be a nice addition to have him racig in the DTM and for Mercedes. And he was interested bla bla etc.

So maybe we will see him there someday, as Ralf Schumacher also ended in the DTM after a test run in the Mercedes car.

Quote from Dajmin :

That site didn't address the security concerns beyond "it requires a more complex password", it merely points out what they are...

Like I wrote "nice and easy to understand".

I you want to have a deeper look into the security, privacy, usability, trust problems etc. etc.
I recommend that site:

http://idcorner.org/2007/08/22/the-problems-with-openid/
For me it's like someone said there:
"Theres nothing stopping a fake Mark Cuban from creating a fake OpenID, or worse, a fake identity provider."

http://evan.prodromou.name/OpenID_Privacy_Concerns

This is a nice and easy to understand summary about OpenID and
also about the concerns (that I also have with it).
Worth the reading.

Hi Flo, thanks for the info... do you know who ran that?

For people to use LFS to present their hardware, we do give permission but we always give a condition that the LFS logo and website address are clearly displayed.

From that picture it looks like these people are just using LFS for their own benefit, and not giving us any exposure at all.

It is a company called FESTO (www.festo.com)

The simulator is called Airmotion_ride
http://www.festo.com/INetDomin ... 6acf3c12572b900703b19.htm


See it in action
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvG5rxVeY5M

In their (linkt to->) PDF

"Airmotion_ride incorporate flight, helicopter, car racing and roller coaster simulations.
The car racing simulator is breaking new ground above all
in multi-player applications. Thanks to the excellent network
code, bumper-to-bumper duels can be staged either on the
Internet or in a local network of up to 23 players, who can drive
a wide assortment of cars all based on genuine vehicles."

They have photos of LFS in it but don't even mention it somewhere.
Sounds more like they build it.

Edit:
Airmotion_ride is now a product of:
VR PROJECT - Event-Management
Edelweiß Straße 8a
85591 Vaterstetten
www.vrproject.de (German)
They call it now
http://www.x6-simulator.com/index2.htm (English)
http://www.x6-simulator.com/en/x6_race.htm (lots of LFS Pics but no a single link to LFS.net)
and they use the BMW video as their "X6 Promotion Video"

It's simple:

Tell them you agreed to the "End-user license agreement" on the LFS Website when you bought it

Quote :

3.4You must not give your username, WEB or GAME password to other LFS users.

So you are not allowed to give it away.

Quote from Jakg :

I didn't mean that - although I don't properly understand it I was wondering if there were any security issues?:

There are a lot security issues
next to phishing

Imo the big names (MS,AOL, Yahoo, Google etc.) are just joining OpenID for one reason. It opens the door to better data-mining.
MS failed with it's own Single Sign-on system "Passport Network", Why? Because many don't trust MS.
But now they found another way to sooner or later get what they want: Better user profiles.


I really have my doubts about single sign-on systems.
The idea behind it is ok but in reality the big companies
don't jump on the bandwagon beause they are philanthropists
and want to make the users life easier.

Like in the X-files: "Trust No One"

Quote from wien :

Can you fit turbochargers on petunias?

No, but in a Binford lawnmower
Har Har

If it's permanent on 60° under full load then it's def. to hot.

Did you used Thermal compound?
If yes the maybe it's attached too thick?

I often see things like that when getting PCs to fix
or that the thermal compound is almost gone
or like "bubble gum" (dunno how to say that)
because of to much heat.

call a chimney-sweeper and let him clean the chimney

Great idea! in post #1

Quote from AndroidXP :

^ Registry is the worst "security" check ever.

Seriously, this subforum should be closed or at least made read only for a while. 50% of the suggestions are for all intents and purposes crap, 49.5% are repeats of already discussed-to-death suggestions, and the remaining 0.5% of good suggestions are ignored by the devs anyway, either because they're not noticed or because the dev priorities are different to begin with.

I don't know what the purpose of keeping up the illusion anybody cares about dorifto king #27's suggestion of adding new cars/tracks/bodykits/better smoke/a drift car/higher steering lock/etcpp. is? Also having users make valid requests only to get shot down or ignored because it's the 13th time the topic has came up isn't that great either. So what is the purpose of this subforum? A common waste bin to prevent the other forums being flooded with crap/duplicate suggestions?

I completly agree with everything you said.
And I have exactly the same feelings.

This thread should have been locked by the mods
at least after post #8

How about automatic penalties.. say a drive through or something if when you exit the pits you cross the yellow line of the pit lane exit channel?

+1
Gets my vote

Congratulations!
Another nice development

Congrats guys!
I like the new racing-red colour

Quote from sgt.flippy :

Maybe try these guys:

... http://www.europol.europa.eu/

Yes Europol is a good idea:

from their website:
...Europol include crimes against persons, financial crime and cybercrime. This applies where an organised criminal structure is involved and two or more Member States are affected...."

Well at least they should speak english

Hey Kev why don't you just call your local Police station first?

I bet they know (well they should) what to do (instead of trying to e-mail or phone some German cops who probably not even speak English).

Your police should know whats the best way to report an international /europe wide crime and send it further to the German police station that is responsible etc. etc.

The estimated value of triple7racing.net is: $5,830


dnscoop.com
uses (like most other sites of that kind)
totally random and useles stuff to generate
complete unrealistical values.

It's funny, nothng more

Happy Birthday guys!

:birthday::balloons::drink:resent:

Great stuff

Quote from versusboy :

Before u go to the pit u have to push a button and after a time a sound plays and a man says: your granted to come in the pits
and if they not hear the sound and the man says it and they still go in the pit they will not be able to pit so to get fuel and tire change..

How can this be useful and for whom would it be useful?

If I want to go to the pits (or have to go) then I go to the pits.
As in real life

The pit crew can tell you, you have to come in in lap 20 but when you get a problem in lap 18, you'll have to come in earlier.

With your suggestion it "can" be like this.
Driver: "I'm running out of fuel I'm comming in"
or
Driver: "I have a problem with ... (whatever)"
then
Pit crew: "No your are not granted to come in"


That doesn't make any sense to me tbh.
