Quote from Becky Rose :

With the CTRA X-System you need to put the effort in and also have the skill.

But Sam just had platinum.

Awww, how nice. Thanks for the greetings and such.

And I guess the CTRA system takes the team information from LFSW? Haven't actually really raced on there in a while, could give them a go for change.

edit. Someone actually pays attention to my signature, how awesome!

"A bit too warm for my liking" said Kimi and went back in his fridge.

Home or Renault.

1. Xmas
2. Surprise

No, they need the seat vibration thingy saw on TG.

Quote from J@tko :

Actually, we drive on the left because the French drove (or rode - it was the 1700s!) on the right. This was the time when Napoleon was beating us up, and so we decided to do the opposite to what the French were doing, just to piss them off.

Well that explains your food too, among many other things.

^ Yes, badly adjusted mirrors are my adrenaline rush too!

Quote from MAGGOT :

Someone should go door-door to the nearby residents to get their support, too; their voice will probably be louder than ours.

Tristan to the rescue!

Awesome pictures Don! What sort of event was that because people don't have helmets?

That car is a bit older, well, quite a lot actually, and the test is too different to be compared to those Chinese deathtraps.

License name = Blackout
Racername = ZWR|M.Pesonen

Didn't see lag, only bad drivers.

But good movie, apart from the double mirrors.

Quote from Rooble :

You two had hit each other and taken each other out, I only hit Sokke but like I said it was very light and I'm sure if you didn't hit him he would of recovered easily.

Quote from Rooble :

Yes I tapped Sokke and he or you made contact with one another.

At least in my replay, you first hit Sokke, and then hit Dru which then hit Sokke and they both went off.

I'm not pointing fingers at anyone, I'm just saying the above quotes are wrong and perhaps it could have been avoided.

Quote from keriz :

Wow, dude, it was a suggestion for gods sake, get off his back.

He didn't ask for flaming, he wanted to know if they were a good idea or not.

Oh, sorry! I forgot to add smileys to soften the blow.

WTF?! Honestly. WTF!

We don't even have hardcore mode, and we never will have, because there is only going to be one mode and you need to live with that. Having dummed down mode would generate more tension than having something more close to realism (damage etc.) because there would be the two types of racing servers.

Besides, what would be the point having lets say 79% realistic game, and then make a 32% version? That's like having beer with water. LFS is intended to be a racing simulation, with only one single mode. Sure, you can call me a elitistic realism nazi, but we are what we are because we know it should be part of the game and would change the racing to something much more interesting.



And WTF!?

How lovely.

Ooooooh...what a shame monsieur Green only scored in one race.

So, what kind of car you had then?

Quote from JTbo :

Delivery costs have gone up ~2.3% from september, eventually this affects all prices so workers do need again more money to get shelter and food, which again gets prices up. If this continues soon we are in situation where you can't pay rent and get warm meal once a day with 2000e/month income.

Did you know that inflation was 2,6% in September and 2,7% in October? So relatively, delivery costs have went down, not up because it's below inflation rate. (source: http://www.stat.fi/til/khi/200 ... 0_2007-11-14_tie_001.html)

Inflation is normal in the economic growth. That's how it is at the moment, when we hit the peak and start falling down (normal) there should be deflation, and things should come cheaper.

But the thing is, giving people huge raises above inflation rate, will decrease the value of money, and they need another raise sooner. It's a vicious circle you can't go into. And once the economy stops growing pays are not cut with the deflation rate, like they were raised during inflation, because people wont allow it. Which would only be fair in exchange, and would make it easier and faster to move back to economic growth.

I hope I didn't confuse my tiny head trying to be too smart.

mmmmm...what could it be.

Quote from jimimonet :

I would mount the base at an angle so that the wheel is near verticle.

Yes, I understand that. But what I meant, was that the wheel (the part you put your hands on) is upside down when it's centered, the lower spoke facing up and it will feel weird. Of course, it's solved if you take the wheel off and rotate it for 180 degrees.

But if you mount it upside down the wheel ergonomy is all upside down, and that can't be any good for driving.

Plus, it will look like you belong to some unholy Blackwood forest guru worshiping cult hanging your wheel upside down like that. Bob presented it very well. Looks wrong, so wrong especially with the shifter.

Quote from the_angry_angel :

I wonder what would happen if medical staff used this tactic.

Well, how about that, we almost had a nurse strike starting Tuesday morning, but it was called off today when the parties agreed that more money should be given and inflation increased. Whopping 28% raise in salaries, well, I guess it has been underpaid work for what they do. But it's going to mean trouble locally.

Everyone is about to go on a strike over here at the moment. Bastards.

Quote from hrtburnout :

You mean Russian?

No, I know Russian characters when I seem them. I might not have them installed or something though, but it's not like I lost anything awesome judging by the videos. :P
