Perhaps it's a scam to get people to donate.
And this deserves to be in it's own thread rather than the Scirocco thread because... ?
Another random fact: The band is actually called "Village People", and YMCA was just asong from them 
Funny nontheless. I like that one from the same creator even more:

These cookies look really disgusting. Like poo with corn in it.
I rather think it's due to the nature of both indy and nascars driving mostly in high speed ovals, where sticky tyres slow you down, as you don't need their mechanical grip to get through the corners.
In which racing series? I personally can't recall a fastest first lap unless the driver messed up all the other laps after that.
Other than that, I agree to the sentiment that while LfS tyre physics are far from being complete, it's firstly really, really, really hard to get it right, and secondly, LfS still has the best tyre model of all sims out there (including iRacing). That last statement is admittedly highly subjective, and others may disagree
whoopsie, didn't read carefully and thought, the poll asked if the contest should be demo only or include S2 users... so disregard my vote
Bet debts are debts of honor. If you can't afford to lose a bet, don't bet. If you do bet, pay up if you lose.
Nah, iRacing just has the Jetta TDI.
I hate the trend in recent years of media and politicians constantly trying to scare the shit out of people with illnesses.
From what I gather, the swine flu is about as dangerous as any other flu (except the spanish flu, of course). meaning that unless you're a toddler or old or have a severely damaged immune system, it won't be dangerous.
In Austria, more than 1000 people die per year of the ordinary flu, but noone gives a crap because that's how it always was and always will be. But if there are 80 (in words: eighty) people dying in a country where a big part of the population hasn't access to high quality medical help and lives in hygenically questionable surroundings, panic's ensued.
And another related rant: don't get the flu vaccine. It's useless, as the flu virus mutates so fast that it only helps against strains which are obsolete anyway.

Just on a sideonte: I have not ever regreted buying LfS even though I am far from being competitively quick.
IIRC, no layouts for demo users. to use the layout editor, you have to be at least S1 licensed.
You still mix up developement speed with the frequency of released patches.
Those two are only remotely dependent on each other. Let me elaborate with examples:
Case 1: Scawen codes hundreds of lines a day to fix bugs and add features, but doesn't want to release the next patch until he has everything done which he thinks neccessary = high developement speed, but a low frequency of patch releases.
Case 2: Scawen only codes two lines a month, but still doesn't want to release the patch until it's feature complete = slow developement, low frequency
Case 3: Scawen only codes two lines per month, but releases a patch vor every new line of code = slow developement speed, but a high patch release frequency
But then we all would want to have Case 4:
Scawen codes hundreds of lines a day and releases a Testpatch for every new thing or bugfix until it's feature complete, so he can release the final official patch = quick developement and a high patch frequency.
I for one think that the truth lies somewhere between case 1 and 2.
Many in here seem to think that the hypothetical case 5 is true: Scawen doesn't bother anymore. Which I for one wouldn't believe unless he announces that himself.

Nope, the patch is still free. The Scirocco isn't though, as it isn't a code improvement that also affects the demo, but an addition to both content license levels.
Guys, relax. Admittedly, the ban was harsh, but as I know the devs, I guess it will only last a very small fraction of the initial announced period, as SamH already said.
We have a saying here that goes like this: "Nothing is eaten as hot as it is cooked", so give all parties of the matter some weeks to cool off, and everything will be fine.

Words of a typical "shiny graphics over physics and gameplay"-muppet. Sadly, that's 99 percent of gamers nowadays, so he has a point.
On a sidenote, how come everyone (including me) wants rain and night races, while many servers don't even have wind on?
Owning a Wii and having friends with Xbox360s and PS3s, the Wii wins hands down if you look at the time it's played on. Allthough IT#s rather a console on which you play in Multiplayer than gaming alone.
I'd be cautios, Tor. Last time anyone mentioned the workload, that person mad a dev very, very upset.
Thing is, we can't change how they work, and we don't know how much they work especially since we don't know if any of the devs has side projects that need time too.
As said in another thread, I personally don't like the idea of a dev blog, as it would cause more whining and flaming in these forums, which were actually quite a nice place to be until the Scirocco got postponed.
I still agree though that Scavier should be a tad more communicative than it is now. I guess we're spoiled by the frequent testpatches we had up until Z10, so this long silence hit's us twice as bad as let's say silence from the Duke Nukem 4ever devs.
I for one would be for a small official status update and a community q&a as a one time event (or rather, less frequent than a blog). Still, I won't complain if there isn't anything of that kind as it wouldn't serve a purpose anyway.

You're right, that's just some speculation. You have to admit that it all got quite out of hand with the scirocco though.
I still do think though that we don't need a real dev blog. What would be nice though would be a community Q&A, either through the forums (well moderated, every post in the thread that isn't a question to the devs will be deleted) or via IRC. Allthough I'd prefer the forum one because of easier moderation and more time (instead of one hour, it could be a week, with Scawen, Victor and Eric checking for questions once a day, if the mods weed out the rubbish posts and questions)
I don't think it's mainly because of how the devs feel about the constant whining and moaning, but rather the image it creates to new possible customers. Afterall,the community is one big selling point of LfS, so we shouldn't scare new people away by making it too obvious that a great part of us are whiny bitches who are never content with anything.
No, a forum ban doesn't include a game ban and vice versa (like the 30 day ban if you get banned from too many servers)
Nope, checked it on two cars and the hose is on the side of the tank in both. Might still be a coincidence though.
The idea is still good though, so I think the bump is justified.
Three friends hiking through the jungle get captured by a tribe of cannibals. They get dragged in front of the cannibal chief. The chief says to them: "You have to pass our sacred ritual, or else you will be killed and eaten! Your dirst task is to head out into the jungle and find me ten fruits of the same kind and bring them to me!"
So the three friends scatter off into the jungle. Before long, the first one returns, carrying ten peaches. The chief says to him: "Now take the fruits and shove them up your ass. If you manage to do so without uttering a single sound, you pass and may live on!"
The first peach goes in silently, at the second one, the captive exhales strongly between his clenched teeth, but the third one was too much. He moans loudly and is killed on the spot.
After the corpse has vanished in the cannibals cauldron, the second friend appears, carrying ten tiny little berries. Again, the chief explains: "If you shove all your fruits up your ass without making a single sound, you will live".
"Piece of cake" thinks the second one and starts inserting the berries into his behind. As expected, one by one they vanish smoothly and silently without much trouble. But as he's about to shove up the tenth and last berry into his rectum, he bursts out in laughter and is killed instantly.
In front of the heaven's gates, the first and second meet again. "What did you do? I saw you from up here and the berries seemed to be no problem. What happened?" the first one asked. The second friend answered: "Well, it went really nicely, but just at the tenth berry was about to go up my ass, guess what happened: Our third mate came appeared between the trees, his hands full of pinapples!"
