you'd be surprised what people can do if they have the right information...
the table my laptop sits on is way messier than anything i've seen in this thread so far.
it's got stuff ranging from...
year-old bills
year-old mail
random receipts i can't be bothered to throw away
coins i can't be bothered to cash in for paper money
various computer screws and other "bits"
sticks of old memory
old hard drives
old network cards
old video cards
a hp inkjet printer i haven't used since before 2005
a palm pilot i haven't used since 2008
various cables for stuff
a network switch
i probably have more, but i'd have to dig.

it looks a little tight in the knees, how long are your legs? 
the wireless network is going to hold you back no matter what. if you can get a network cable, do it.
apparently they're big in japan because of the freakish M:F ratio.
no real loss there, apricot hill was a boring track.
just watching the race now... *fingers in ears* lalalalla spoiler free zone 
lol shumi? go back to retirement. (they say rosberg did it, but shumi could have ran wider)
lol liuzzi, fails again.
what was with vettel lagging behind after the SC?
why did they leave that pile of dirt on the track?
why did algesaurus let webber through?
lol @ hamilton being stuck behind kubica
yeah, figures, a redbull would win. gg vettel, what a boring way to end out the season.

i get a proxy error.

maybe during european times... half the time i look at the server list, all i see are cruise/drift servers, and the "flavour-of-the-week" multiclass server.
except that not all of us have the time to devote to a league or even a team.
whom have no interest in real racing.
which run crap combos that nobody wants, or become crash fests because of poor administration.
whom can't drive 95% of the content in the game.
so how long should we wait? 2015? 2020?
thanks, i went looking for that earlier, and couldn't find it. wiki search was a fail.
i think you're a couple pages behind... (or maybe it was another thread...)
the long and the short of it, we all probably have money sitting in our LFS accounts, not putting any more money towards the game would be pointless.
and there's no way in hell that you'd be able to convince everyone to shut down all the demo servers...
and really, what would it accomplish? it might save victor and scawen a few bucks on bandwidth costs, if anything.

looks like they took their rollover physics from lfs... bounce off the wall, nose goes flying in the air, lands upright and in the right direction...
sure, the intention is not to crash, but when it happens, it should at least seem plausible.
psp car downloads perhaps?
smoke looks cool, but the damage is still meh.
hybrid is a "middle" between road and knobbly. typically, you'd use them on a rally track that has equal parts of tarmac and dirt.
good, we're tired of your lying anyways.
i see the ai still drives like a bunch of numpty's.
i don't know if that's a bug per se, every time a car gets spawned on the track it gets dropped on the ground. i think it's their way of making sure the car doesn't intersect the ground when it spawns.
Dygear asked for specs on my PVR setup, so here it is...
Asus P4P800-E Deluxe
Prescott 3.0E
2GB Corsair Value Select DDR400 (4x512)
some Hitachi 80GB SATA drive for the OS
4x Western Digital Caviar SE 250GB IDE133
2x Leadtek WinFast TV2000 XP RM (software) tuners
2x Creative SBLive sound cards (one for each tuner)
Nvidia MX440 AGP (because there's no onboard)
I originally bought this machine years ago as a gaming machine, but it became my PVR because it was the most powerful machine I had at the time. It was originally fitted with a XFX 6600GT, and a 400W power supply. (The power supply recently failed [I was overloading it, can I blame it?], I mentioned it in another thread)
It runs gentoo linux and the mythtv PVR software.
As configured, recording from one tuner uses about 20% of one logical CPU. It can record two shows, and commflag another quite easily. Watching a recorded show consumes <2% CPU. RAM usage is minimal. I could probably get away with putting 128MB in it.
An "hour" (after transcoding out the commercials) of recording takes up about 600MB.
It's a rock solid machine, now that it has a 600W power supply. I'd consider getting another tuner if I had another PCI slot for the sound card. (Sure, I could go with hardware tuners, but I was cheap)
If I were to upgrade this machine, an i3 would probably be complete overkill.

Reason : more blah
it won't... i've played GT since the first one, and while they are fun games, they are nowhere the simulation they claim to be, and i'm reasonably satisified it never will.
as for it being a LFS replacement, maybe for those who just want to drive fancy cars around... and have already plopped down the money on a next-gen console. i haven't. to be honest, i still can't be bothered to buy one...
if you want an idea of how unrealistic gt* is, drive into the wall, floor the gas and let go of the steering wheel... or try driving the wrong way with your hands off the wheel.
let's see...
RBR winning everything
Vettel & Webber's probable "special agreement"
Alonso being the whiny bitch he always is
4 plus teams of cars who shouldn't even be on the track because they're too slow
the F duct introduction and subsequent ban
the refueling ban
i can probably find more things to be disinterested in, but meh.
as in creating your own dvd rips? that'll probably be done in software too, unless you're using some super special setup that allows you to use physx or similar. that stuff's still kinda new.
rain looks nice... i'm not impressed by the damage though, but i knew it was going to suck from the moment they suggested it.
