Quote from AndroidXP :

HA, got it to work differently:

1. Log in under an account with administrator privileges
   
2. Go to control panel > system (shortcut: winkey + pause)
   
3. Go to tab advanced > performance > settings
   
4. In the new dialog, go to tab "Data Execution Prevention"
   
5. Select "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select:"
   
6. Click "Add..."
   
7. Browse to the directory "C:\Windows\system32", then manually enter "joy.cpl" as filename
   
8. Click Open, a new entry will appear, named "Game Controllers Control Panel Applet", with a checked checkbox
   
9. Click OK, etc. and leave the other dialogs. Unlike stated by Windows you don't have to restart.
   
10. The "Recorder" tab will now work.

Great you are my hero from now on
I couldn't get the recorder option back to work again.

I thought it was a joy.cpl problem that came with the logitech drivers because it worked before I installed it or it happend after some xp updates .
And Microsoft had not really an idea they said it's a defective joy.cpl but (changing it etc.) nothing worked.
I never thought of the Data Execution Prevention.

Now it's working like it should be.

Thx for that AndroidXP

maybe you got a worm some worms (like W32.NIMDA.E@mm or W32/Nimda.g@MM) copies themself as crss.exe into windows (to say it shortly) And they usually occupy 50% of cpu time

(3 years of driving here this month incl. demo time)

Happy :lfs: Birthday Fordie

I race for Oxygen Sim Racing and Tristan (Who I think you were talking about) races in Triple 7 Racing.

No he wrote niki and meant nikimere one of our Irish drivers

great

Quote from Bawbag :

..
The way I see it is, if your inn say a 30 lap race and after 20 laps you catch the last group of cars, then they should only let you pass when it is safe to do so, without comprimising there race.

But if someone joins midrace and gets a blue flag I beleive they should move completely off the line without slowing the down driver who is trying to pass, it's not a rule but I beleive it's just courtesy.
...

I totally agree with you.

www.cyber-racing.org

Check your LFSWorld.net Team data it still shows www.cyber-racing.net

Quote from jamesrowe :

If any of you could be in any team they like, what team would it be?...

My Dream Team?
Here are some of my favourites:

OCR for the professional things they do (like the Racing Challenge etc.)
and for having Vykos and DasBoeseC (I met them together with Bismarck at the Games Convention 2005 in Leipzig and they are real nice guys)


ACR Afri-Cola Racing
I always liked the logo and the name in the good old times.
Now they are back again and a real good friend of mine, former Member of OCR and T7R RichardDK started ACR again.


ZT
I always liked their logo and they have ORION ;-) (I love your real world + LFS car composition pictures)
and they have many German and Austrian drivers so I would not be forced to talk/write english all the way LOL


BR (Boomerand Rapido) was also great ( pretty old site ) but they are history now.
They had a lot of nice fast drivers (some of them joined dE and then later T7R like Gopher04, Hoffman, KingSCSI etc.)

Cyber Racing is (was? where is your website guys?) also nice.
I liked their skins and they have nice clean and fair racers like Sracer, Misko,...)

(V) Mercury Racing Team
is also one of my all time favourites they have nice and real fast drivers like sidi, Jonesy, Bawbag, and our former Member Reed :-) )
And I like their website.

SCCC for always being really funny, having nice cars and GianniC.
And Tukko who is real fast.

And all the others I forgot to mention like SDRA with moby and Hittis, TSR with LawVS,
vMaxSR , Pedal to the Metal ,Triso Racing , Elite Squad , etc .

Some others look promising but they are just to new for me to me to say anything.
I like professional acting Teams that are longer online then just a few month or a year.

But in the end I like to be in T7R because they take me as I am
(I speak out and write what I think and have no problems if is not the hip opinion.)
My Teammates could tell you stories about it but they won't do because it's internal


Anyway every Dream Team who wants me to switch and join can PM me.
Offerings will be treated privately.

Quote from Becky Rose :

It's a strange system...

It is

Quote from Becky Rose :

The main thing is though, they only need put it in the license agreement because they can track whether you run a server or not anyway just by monitoring your bandwidth trends which they probably are already doing.

Yes they have it in the license agreements and they also do monitor the bandwith we use here (but they can't do it officially because when you got a flatrate then some of our telecommunication laws don't allow the provider to monitor it.
Because if they were allowed to do it then they would try to get rid of the "powerusers" with high up- and download rates (i.e. high means here more then 20 to 25 GB/month or else you destroy there mixed calculation). illepall

But they do it anyway and in the past they phoned or wrote users and asked if they want to have 100 Euros for changing to another provider (but you have to sign a contract that you'll never come back to that provider etc.)

All in all it's really strange here sometimes

Quote from geeman1 :

That sucks. But I don't think that people would stop buying mail/webservers, because home connections usually "suck" in other ways too. Biggest is probably the low upload bandwidth compared to professional connections.

That's true but in some bigger cities here you get DSL with 16000 down and 1024 UP for only ~25 to 30 Euros That can be enough for smaller companies or private use.

For me the main problem is you pay the same money no matter if they can offer you 16000 or not. They only say you get as much as the line can bring you. So if you are lucky you get it or in small town (like mine) you'll never get near it

I always thought Ron Sommer the former (mis)manager and Chairman of the Deutsche Telekom was responsible for the "after 24 hours you get a disconnetion of Telekom DSL in Germany"

Maybe you also should hate him Crazy Harry

AFAIK it's just there for 1 reason.
People and small companies shouldn't open up web- or mailservers with cheap DSL accounts and static IP adresses.

So they cut your DSL line every 24 hours and give you usually a new IP
(like herki said if you use a good router you can tell when you want it i.e. at 4:40 in the morning or whenever).

btw who would buy or rent a mail- / webserver if it wasn't made that way here

Quote from tomylee :

I'm missing LFSWorld a team statistic. We have a lot of teams here but they are not really saing anything.
There should be a statistic for the teams, how good it is (wins), how fair it is, and so on......
This would make it really interesting to join a team and to keep the spirit up.
I hope it will be implemented really soon
tomylee

I don't think that statistics will ever be able to display the spirit of a team.
And there is no way to compare "how fair a team is".
Is a Team who shares setups more fair then a Team that doesn't do it? etc.

The other problem with bigger Teams is when drivers can't race for a longer time (due to real life matters). Then their stats will bring the whole Team down etc.

And there are many Teams that doesn't win much Leagues or big events but they do a lot for LFS in the background. You'll only know if you read different forums or their websites. Stats wouldn't say much about it.

So -1 from me.

£38.86

Quote from thisnameistaken :

He said £110, not euros.

Your right. Sorry for mixing £ and €.
Think I should reduce my screen resolution

Quote from troy :

http://www.techmania.ch/detail ... 209456&sessionID=1200
but they dont ship/send outside of switzerland (the price is in swiss franks)

Quote from troy :

in switzerland you can get the g25 already for 110£
dont ask me why they are so cheap here

I checked your link and my Bank tells me:
264.05 Swiss franc = 167.056 Euro not 110.

and google means:
264,05 Swiss franc = 166,920941 Euro

Edit: I didn't read it properly you wrote £ not € ;-)

While I did a virus check, the anti-virus was hangging in the restore folder.

I found the folder and it was almost 3 gig ..... can I just delete it?

Is there a certain way to get ride of it?

googled it, could not find somthing ...

No you can't just delete it you have to turn the system restore for all drives OFF in the system properties and restart windows.

Quote from tristancliffe :

But I did notice a general Jaffa Cake theme going on. Android - a Jaffa Cake is a small soft biscuit sized 'cake', with a little orangey jelly bit on the top, covered in chocolate. This might help you. There was some doubt as to whether it was a cake or a biscuit,

OT
I don't care if it is a cake or a biscuit. But I love it for years. Still one of my favourites. I think I have to go shopping tom. to buy me some. Yummy

Quote from traxxion :

Weingart sounds fair enough to me..? People also call M. Schumacher, Schumacher all the time
I'm being called Kooij a lot lately though, that's worse (pleaaassse add van der ).

OK but then I always feel I'm back in the army where you always was called by your last name.

I think it's much easier for a foreigner to remember short nicknames.
In your case I can easily remember the nick traxxion but when I always had to type "hi van der Kooij" it would be much more difficult (and I think I'll forget that name over the next days :rolleyes:.

Like Fetzo wrote:

Quote from Fetzo :

everyone who thinks that his/her real name is more personal than his/her nick name never had a real nick name. you cannot compare some name you just made up to disguise your identity with a nickname you have answered to for more than a decade...

In my case I used the nickname BBO for more then 22 years! now and also real life friends, my sister etc. call me often just BBO.

I think I would collapse if I had to memorize all the 200? 300? 400? real names of all the LFS people I know. :schwitzmaybe I'm just getting old)

Quote from Bradracer :

....

edit: also, as posted above a bit, someone gave a link to cocacola site, and it had a page with the cocacola logos that were free to download.....surely cocacola, the biggest drink company in the world, wouldnt do that if there were any laws against it?

Yes you can download there some copyrighted pictures
but they also have Terms of Use on their site and
that you can download their pictures doesn't mean you can do what you want with it.

From the Coca Cola site
" ... Content within the "Press Center" section of the Site may be reproduced solely for editorial purposes in daily newspapers, ....
... you may not distribute, modify, copy (except as set forth above), transmit, display, reuse, reproduce, publish, license, create derivative works from, transfer, sell or otherwise use Content without The Coca-Cola Company's written permission..."

Quote from Rubenz81 :

"Have you ever i.e heard about / read the European Copyright Directive (EUCD)?
I bet no.

It doesn't matter how you define something. It's the copyright law that defines it for you, me and all the others."

In fact the laws about copyright in Europe are so caotic that companies register logos under EACH country where they are present plus on UE laws.
Because laws in Italy are different from the one in Germany, and EUCD will not cover you in some cases. Coca Cola is a registered mark not only in USA but also in Italy, Spain, UE etc...

I totally agree there with you but it's not the point here.

I just replied (as an example) a post where someone wrote:

"As long as it is for non commercial use, under EU law you can use whatever copyrighted material you wish!"

Which is completly wrong and that implies the writer have never ever heard or read something about copyrights.

Anyway the first post from AtomAnt says it all.

Ask Then use.

Quote from filur :

Material theft and including a copyrighted reference in art for the sake of individual entertainment is hardly comparable.

Also the fact that you can sue person for something doesn't automatically make something illegal.

You (and the others) are right it was not the best example.
I tried to find something that's make it easy to understand in general. (because someone posted "..you can use everything for free.." etc.).
So it wasn't meant to be an example for logos on skins.
So it's not OT @ TiJay (read the quote in that post., It wasn't just about skins and logos )

The biggest problem is that people who have not really an idea or to do with it, post something like the "you can use everthing for free use as long as it's not commercial" bullsh*t then another one jumps on the train and write "As people have already said here in the forum" etc.

This is how urban legends are build.
"Internet ? Everything is for free there. I read that often in forums bla bla
MP3 downloading is legal because everyone is doing it" etc.

I hope you get what I mean.

The whole copyright theme is far to complex and to complicated to solve it here but if more people would just read terms of use or just ask the rightsholder for permission etc. it would be much easier. Sometimes

Quote from Smax :

Yes, I'm quite sure you're right about the copyright part, but equally if the issue was taken particularly seriously then big sites like brandsoftheworld.com would have been whacked with cease and desist orders by now. The fact that they haven't is in my opinion proof that the notion of public domain does carry some weight.

Well if the users would read then the Terms of use of brandsoftheworld.com says it all:

"...
All logos are trademarks of their respective owners, and are offered as a convenience for their lawful use only, with proper permission from the copyright or trademark holders. Downloading files from this site does NOT give you authorization or permission to use the copyrighted logos without the specific consent of the copyright or trademark holder. Before you use, reproduce or distribute in any manner any logo found on this site, you must first receive the express permission of the holder of the copyright or trademark of that logo. Failure to obtain such permission is a violation under international law."

and

"The primary use of site is to enable designers to access vector-forms of the well-known brand-logos that they can use in their presentations, given the permission of the copyright owner" !!!

It's just simple to understand even if my english is not the best.
