Lol, would be a bit confusing on TS. Gentlefoot: Dave Daves: Yes? Gentlefoot: *sweatdrop*

Would it be recommended to take my business elsewhere? Or sit out and wait and see if they have improved?

Thank you lads . I'll see you in the BOTT and ATC GPs

Why would virgin.net try to traffic my connection speeds?

This has been going on for a couple of months now. Since late October '06, mostly evenings, the internet connection speeds would slow down to at least a dial up speed. (12 - 45 kb) until early mornings. I would get decent broadband speed. 2.2mb. But because of the speeds I'm getting. I'm thinking of taking my business elsewhere to another company with broadband. Virgin.net keeps claiming that because so many customers are on after such and such, I'm starting to think its bull. Because with that many customers on 6 months ago before the slow connections, I still had a great speed connection. Can anyone assist which broadband company is recommended, or a way to solve this slow connection problem? Thanks

Quote from CSU1 :

You are right, some of the internal gears may have slipped.
However if it bothers you that much and you dont want to resort to *surgery*, you could use your DFP profile manager/windows callibration to callibrate it slightly off centre in the opposite direction,(ie: holding the wheel off centre in the opposite direction, then click callibrate) it would probably take two or three goes to get it dead centre, but shoild work

How do I do that? I was unaware of that option. Where can I find it on DFP Profiler?

Hello. I race under the name. "The End" feel free to check my stats. I just recently started racing again after watching the F1 season start off last week. I have been in various leagues, but unable to fit in due to schedules. But now thats cleared. I'm a free agent! Feel free to post your teams links on here if you have a vacancy you'd like to fill. I have raced for MG, ITEK, and Fusion, so I do have plenty of racing experience under my belt. Dave

This has been going on for a while now. I got this DFP in May last year, so that sticks the warranty out of the frying pan, so I'm willing to go a bit extreme on it *DFP Surgery* I have a feeling that the wheel calibration, inside has moved a few inches, so the wheel thinks that its going straight during a straight line, but the wheel is slightly sqiunt to the left, and kinda bothers me a bit when racing. I tried game settings, lfs settings, to set the calibration right, but to no success, could anyone assist on how I can fix this calibration problem?

We don't actually post when we are going away or coming back. Unless you are a developer the chances are no one really cares..

And defenately not on the General LFS discussion section... :doh:

Heh, thanks for the heads up. Feel free mods to move this or delete it. Any is fine.

Hello everyone, last time I was on here was late October, I race under the name "The End" so some of you may be familiar on the name already. Just saying I'm back. Wooo! Happy racing!

Quote from Jakg :

"Themes" - Enable it and it wont look like Windows 98!

"Windows Audio" might be disabled?

Have a look again. A majority of the applications have "stopped" and the only way to get things back to normal. and the "theme" is to get them running again, and I can't seem to find the option for that.

I'm having performance problems on Call of Duty + Call of Duty United Offensive. So a gamer recommended to run "Msconfig" and try and disable *stop* some of the applications that may be causing to run the games a little jittery. It runs fine on COD 2, just on those two games.

Unfortunately, it kinda backfired on me. And a majority of the drivers have "stopped" Hence pic 1:



Now the pc still works, but as you can see the windows look like its in safe mode, iinstead of its xp windows. And a majority of the programs have stopped, and that includes audio. *winamp program claims that there isnt a sound card installed* But because of the outcome, it prevents me from playing games, or listen or watch clips *depending what file they are*

I tried loading it all up, as if nothing happened, but unfortunately, there is no change whatsoever, and I am stuck in this position at the moment.



Can anyone assist on how I can fix this wee problem?

Thanks

He was found guilty over his role in the killing of 148 people in the mainly Shia town of Dujail in 1982.

His half brother Barzan al-Tikriti was also sentenced to death, as was Iraq's former chief judge Awad Hamed al-Bander

Former vice-president Taha Yassin Ramadan got life in jail and three others received 15 year prison terms.

Another co-defendant, Baath party official Mohammed Azawi Ali, was acquitted.

When called to court, Saddam Hussein, dressed in his usual dark suit and white shirt and carrying a Koran, walked to his customary seat and sat down.

Judge Rauf Abdel Rahman ordered Saddam Hussein to stand while he read out the verdict, but the former president defiantly refused to do so and had to be moved from his seat by court attendants.

As the judge began reading the death sentence Saddam Hussein shouted out "Allahu Akbar!" (God is Greatest) and "Long live Iraq! Long live the Iraqi people! Down with the traitors!"

The former leader looked shocked and furious as the sentence was passed, and continued to shout, denouncing the court, the judge and the US-led occupation force in Iraq.

But the BBC's world affairs editor John Simpson said that after his tirade, as he was led away from the courtroom, Saddam Hussein seemed to have a small smile on his face.

"It was as if he was thinking 'I've come here and done what I intended to do'," our correspondent said.

Celebratory gunfire

Shortly after the verdict was announced celebratory gunfire could be heard across Baghdad.

The whole city of six million people has been placed under a 12-hour daytime curfew that bans all vehicle and pedestrian traffic amid fears of violence from Saddam Hussein's Sunni Arab supporters.


THE SENTENCES

* Saddam Hussein, former Iraqi president: death by hanging
* Awad Hamed al-Bander, Chief Judge of Revolutionary Court: death by hanging
* Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti, Saddam Hussein's half-brother: death by hanging
* Taha Yasin Ramadan, Iraqi vice-president: life sentence
* Abdullah Kadhem Ruaid Senior Baath official: 15 years
* Abdullah Rawed Mizher, Senior Baath official: 15 years
* Ali Daeem Ali, Senior Baath official: 15 years

The government cancelled all army leave and the city's civilian airport has been closed.

Three nearby provinces, including Salahuddin, which contains Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit, are also under curfew.

Almost three years since Saddam Hussein was captured, soaring sectarian violence has brought Iraq to the brink of civil war.

Few Iraqis think the trial verdict will ease conflict, the BBC's Andrew North in Baghdad says.

Even those Iraqis who want to see their former leader dead do not believe his execution would make things any better, our correspondent says.

'Victors' justice'

Many critics have dismissed the trial as a form of victors' justice, given the close attention the US has paid to it.

Lawyers for Saddam Hussein have also accused the government of interfering in the proceedings - a complaint backed by US group Human Rights Watch.

And the former leader's lawyers have attacked the timing of the planned verdict, which comes days before the US votes in mid-term elections.

US President George W Bush's Republican Party is at risk of losing control of Congress in part because of voter dissatisfaction over its handling of the Iraq conflict. In a televised speech on Saturday, Nouri Maliki, Iraq's Shia Arab prime minister, said he hoped Saddam Hussein would get "what he deserves" for "crimes against the Iraqi people".

Ahead of the verdict Mr Maliki called for calm, saying that Iraqis should mark it in a way that "does not risk their lives".

Saddam Hussain has been sentenced to death by hanging within 30 days.

More news still to follow.

That's "aura" aka RudolfR back on, and boasting about my msn saying "goodbye to your msn" Big whoop!

Have a cookie. illepall

Quote from Jakg :

what about the secret question thingy?

What secret question?

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

if you go to the msn website you can get the forgot my password, they email it to you, you log in and change it ASAP

That was the case, but unfortunately I have to wait, as the "sign in" failed as someone else is trying to log in, or I tried to log in too many times.

Quote from P2M Smart :

Hi all

We at p2m are holding (as we always do) a sunday lfs event.

This sunday(5/11/06) is a kyoto gp event, using the fox car.

Anyone interested on this event post here

http://www.pedal2metal.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=2074

I can attend the 45 forward, but not the 45 reverse. Would that be ok for you?

Quote from troy :

did you try lost password already on msn? didnt see the replay so far
but looks like you had bad luck next time take a secure password
then such stuff shouldnt happen

Yeah, and as of now my account is temporary unavailiable.

It's not a big loss anyway , but it can affect other members if not dealt with.

I bring with regret, that 2 LFS members of the community are named and shamed, for their hacking outside the LFS community, and for Ramming.

Normally I'd put this into the wreckers barricade and cd league forum due to where the event took place, but this situation exceeds their expectations.

I have lost my msn account, due to password change, so I can't get in. They threated to change my "sucking" password, and succeded.

These two replays will indicate their behaviour on LFS. They are also hackers. As explained from above. As of now, I am trying back my e-mail account. Which is becoming a struggle, as they keep changing the password themselves.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=G6E6JLK8 This link represents what they are going to do to my account, and how poor their ramming driving is.

^^ Yup, my mistake, I forgot the clocks were going backwards.

I'm afraid you'll have to count me out for that, I won't be able to attend by then unless it was 9pm.

Have a good one tonight.

I'd be happy if it was on at 9pm, but sadly that wont be the case .

Agreed.
