got an overhead shot of the track? i found that the figure 8 layouts i created were too small or too narrow for many gtr's on the track at once... (which also begs the question, which car(s) are you using?)

did you upload the skin to lfsworld? or did you just put it in skins?

Quote from J@tko :

Another plea from me - please make sure the e-mail that's linked to your LFS account has a secure security question, it appears the hackers want as many accounts as they can get...

or better yet, stop using hotmail, gmail, yahoo... or turn off the security questions and use a sane password if you plan on using facebook... can't hijack an email account that has no remote recovery functions outside of password brute-forcing. fwiw - my msn/hotmail and gmail aren't attached to any software i use on a regular basis.

Not sure if this has been posted on here or not (apologies if it has) but EA are now giving away burnout paradise not sure how long the giveaway lasts just saw it on another forum and figured it may interest some of you. Might not be the best but hey its free.

is it just me, or does that url say "redirectingat.com"? i had that happen to google results a while ago, and it was caused by the TDSS virus family.

and f1 2010 xbox, and a geforce gt240 graphix card which i will be putting into a compaq pc when the sale is on... as the dell failed

have you phoned dell yet? they're usually pretty quick on part replacements...

Quote from BAMBO :

Now that brings one good question to mind. How did we get from being one of the closest, friendliest communities to the spam-troll-flame-fest situation we find ourselves in today?

i've always blamed 4chan for that, but it seems every forum these days is like this.

newsflash #3: microsoft doesn't give a shit about people abusing their services. if they did, they'd do something about their rampant spammer problem as well.

newsflash #4: foreign police agencies don't give a shit about some basement dweller going around cracking accounts, or other forms of computer/network abuse.

you can try emailing all this stuff to scawen and victor, but chances are they won't do anything (or it will be short-lived), just look at all the roofl/b2r/etc threads.

but this all begs the question, what is your password management scheme like? do you use the same password everywhere? do you use a "stupid" password like "password" or "letmein"? do you use one of the services covered by gawker? did you install something like a keylogger that leaked out your passwords? etc etc etc...

thanks for the report, better now than next february. still waiting. merry christmas.

waking up, eating an entire pack of bacon and then going to work. bah humbug.

those are both garbage hands, it would be smarter to have folded at the flop.

ah, the black square... i had this problem on wine with my busted ati drivers... only way i got around it was to use another video card (or computer).

as for it being a wine bug, they fixed that around 1.1.0 if i'm not mistaken.

cruising is srs bsns. :hide:

this probably doesn't even work anymore... it was written for a previous version of lfs.

hmm...

Plusses

• Bought an i7 to replace a HP LH4 and a Dell PE2500. Energy consumption decreased by 60%.
  
• Got my finances to a position where next year looks reasonable.
  

Downers

• Spent the year alone because nobody ever calls me unless they want to sell me weed.
  
• Spent the year single.
  
• Hence, no sex.
  
• Spent the year financially insecure.
  
• Watched my job turn to shit because they like abusing ABCD's.
  

Options For Challenging Myself
I will probably do one of the following in 2011 to enrich my life experience.

• Consider writing a commercial computer game. (I should probably learn C first.)
  
• Consider improving my unofficial home business.
  

we'll see how things pan out, but i don't think i'll stick to either of those two challenges.

sunday morning, still here 8)

everyone on irc keeps saying you're engaged... what's the dilly, yo?

oh, okay... my bad. i thought you were favouring 50hz PAL, as opposed to LFS's internal mechanics.

what about 30fps for tv users, or 60fps for lcd users?

sorry, i know i'm being a pain.

if you are the host, you have to connect to your server using your LAN ip address...

rant: i can't believe how many people still don't understand the concept of NAT... we must see this kind of thread at least once a week.

Quote from JJ72 :

all your ISP seems to have very slow upload?

it's extremely common in north america, everyone i've talked to says that upload is expensive, but that sounds like a complete load of crap to me... i think the real truth is that they don't want home users killing off the server hosting business by hosting their own stuff.

thanks vic, we know you're trying...

I hate to say this, but get a new ISP. That sounds like a bunch of BS.

if it's not influencing how the game plays, could it possibly be insim/outsim that you forgot to disable? no idea why it would be directed at a german ip though... unless that's the server you're playing on, but then if that's the case i'm at a loss.

Quote from Victor :

Regarding sound; yeah like Morpha said it's not possible to record both video and sound at the same time. However, I've been thinking, it should be possible to record video separately and sound separately. In two recording passes. And then you can merge the two later on.

pardon my skepticism, but why? having to dub audio back into a video is a chore and a half...

are you sure that's MBAM and not something like spybot S+D? i didn't think MBAM did live monitoring, let alone network monitoring.

Quote from Sueycide_FD :

Pretty beast.

that's a home connection, right? here i am shelling out $100/mth for a business line, and all i get is 1mbps up.
