I want to talk about how people communicate and behave whilst partaking in public racing.

For newcomers to LFS the experience can be somewhat daunting to racing online against our seasoned drivers, and to be thrown in the middle of a bunch of ban-happy bitching racers is unfair and easily gives any server a bad name.
Allowing messages publicly is asking for spam and congregation of arguments and nonsense discussion, once one n00b starts acting up others follow suit ruining racing for others.

I accept people need to communicate on servers and the chatter of a few nice folk is nice to drive in, but, by default everything is public chatter which should not be seen by the newcomer.

Nipping it in the bud would be to remove public messaging as prime means of communication in LFS servers,
this would stop 'pairing' of idiots by removing the catalyst for trouble which is the public messaging system which is acquainting them.

The public channel should only be open for server announcements of race stats etc and communication should only be heard amongst friends,
but this would only be possible by having a friends system inside LFS, a just think it's a good idea that would stop a lot of the messing that goes on, mainly crashing spam

I feel happy for you Dadge...never mind him mate

Quote from Takumi_lfs :

the old fasion

lookin goooood

...whats with peoples flags beside their names changing to "other" ziggy's was Germany.. BR's changed too>>???

the original wav is 2.8mb so i had to zip it sorry, you have my word it contains nothing but a .wav song thanks

It sure is Spankey, that's the whole point of it

Reason for getting it as small as i can is because I'm in the process of putting together all the default ring tone filenames for all of the popular brands of mobile phones, in my phone I'll have folders:

Nokia/[default ring tones]
Siemens/[default ring tones]
...etc. where all of the tones are a copy of the above file and write protected of course so as they cant remove them

Just a prank, I want to pi$$ off some people

i've been driving myself bloody nuts getting the rate down to what 'sounds' the very worst i can get it, lowering the sample rate any more than 22000 sounds off.

this is the smallest after lots of conversions to and from FLAC to wav and round and round knocking kb's here and there.

Also I need it to sound good from a very small mono speaker but theres too much bass and it sounds shite.

any advice on how to PB/anyone?

Attached is an .mp3 file with a size of 513.7kb at a length of 1:05

Anyone interested in trying to get the file size smaller without loosing any quality???

...i need it for something and the smaller the better...

Quote from Tomba(FIN) :

lol that sucks, so unrealistic. like james bond

Hey Tomba(FIN), Laugh at me all you like; because I know that movie is the best one in ages, just like James Bond but EVEN BETTER!

Unrealistic as in plot and storyline ya I agree especially in the final scene when he returns her to L.A. as if nothing happened and all was merry. A bit dodgy~

But,

the action and driving and super spy stuff was exciting to watch, eyecandy.

I enjoyed it

Stop laughing at me

Quote from http://www.imdb.com/ :

...Neeson is what we would fear if James Bond went to hell and came back for revenge

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0936501/

TAKEN

Former Special Air Service (SAS) soldier, Mick Gould, trained Liam Neeson in combatives and weapons handling skills

Really enjoyed this film, I didnt realise it was out so long and heard nothing about it but I tell you one thing for sure this guy ownes James Bond and the car chase scenes are right up there with Ronin in my book.

great flick

Quote from mcintyrej :

I think a more creative title would be Dead For Speed - however me suggesting this title when my opinion on the active state of LFS is pretty much the opposite of the OP's, is strange.

yep, strange?...

Quote from BlueFlame :

I find your post utterly confusing.

New York bir komik bir yerde'da olmak, halkta konusunda ihtiyatlı ikinci el duman, Yürüyüş ise sokak görebilirsiniz dolaşan onların çevresinde bugüne kadar sana geçme duman , New York bütün extreems hakkında

Bir Günü salı günü BEN gibi kokusunu mor balık

...New York is a funny place to be as a smoker;

Walking down the street you can spot from twenty paces the OTT nutjob pacing out an exclusion zone between you and him/her on the sidewalk, funny people over there, all about extreems that funny ol' place.

riders motion had a sneaky poo on his notebook

seriously though, again I can't find the words to describe it so i'll just throw up.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

I've never been hungover so I think therefore your theory has been hypothesised.

yeah. well. at least I have a theory! what have you got? a big mouth, thats all!(j/k)

Quote from Riders Motion :

...you may want to return that model right away, I don't know the exact technical name for the problem. I do know that it the problem exists for that model only and following the bug trackers I think it may be something to do with somebody smearing a turd along the rest section and all around the touchpad area. Try to RMA, hope it works out for you.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

I sometimes talk sense.

...no. no. wait. I have it

You see, it's just that all the time you just talk too much

I bet you're a real doozey to be around first thing with a hangover. yap.yap.yap yapyap

...This one's gonna kill off all you mobile users

Quote from piggy501 :

All in all, a life is a life and there is no way any living animal should have to go through such torture then have it ripped away from them. Animals can still feel like we can, for example if you trod on a dogs paw it will yelp, same way you would if I stamped on your foot, unless you were punch-drunk (TVE?)

And I heard this book from ages ago says "a life for a life, eye for an eye, praise jesus" and stuff. If God says it, it must be true. God condones violence.

God hasn't got a clue whats goin on these days, thats just some old media stunt to make money, The Bible

Quote from AMB :

I like the fact of the 3rd option, yes, but i'd like to keep my privacy on this, but we can still see who has voted on it lololol.

Quote from G!NhO :

i thought it meant this: the guy that hits the guy that has abused an animal should remain his privacy. so wrong lol

Quote from The Very End :

Oh god
Even I didn't do that mistake lol.

Quote from gezmoor :

http://www.livescience.com/ani ... 1030_elephant_mirror.html

Most animals don't have a sense of self-awareness like humans and therefore certain elements of suffering are precluded from their ability to percieve them. Humans taken hostage for example can suffer due to the fear of future harm or death, they have a sense of self mortality. Animals don't have this ability because they have no sense of self. They only have a learned response to pain, they can't suffer from pure mental torture like humans can.

I agree animals don't perceive these complex situations like humans do but I do believe animals have a sense of self mortality and that they can suffer from mental torture though.
Take a basic scenario of mental torture and animals will respond, though they may not know what it is or why it's happening they certainly do suffer mentally. TBH that is a really odd way to look at it, you can not justify inflicting pain because you believe there will be no suffering

Quote from mookie427 :

...But however much we try and see animals as 'equal' to humans, the bottom line is they can, like humans have all the emotional responses and senses of danger, anger, fear in the world but the bottom line is they aren't human.

Na. Bottom line is - it does not matter if they are human or not, by rational terms the incident should not have happened in the first place, the accused and the blood hungry condoning punishment and death are all in the same boat, one as bad as the other.

Quote from mookie427 :

It is interesting to see certain peoples responses in this thread - particularly those of the type 'people who hurt animals should be killed/have the same thing inflicted upon them'. What would you say if the person killed or hurt a human? Would you be one of the people to condone capital punishment and/or torture then?

Yes, thats the whole point, if you condone physical or mental punishment then you are just as bad as the accused, the world would be a better place without the two of you.

Quote from .. :

Well although I didnt go as far as saying i'd have hurt the kid in question, I did agree that I didnt give a damn if he got hurt. In regards to this direct question I would willingly kill a murderer or rapist in several situations:

A) In self defence
B) In defence of somebody else
C) Because there was significant certainty of them doing it again

But never for revenge.

Obviously if you are in danger you will defend yourself and inflict as much damage humanly possible to survive.

The poll question asks 'is it ok to condone bringing harm upon others?', the fact that the animal is the victim is not relevant in this case, the poll just shows the amount of killers among us.

I think the point where animal becomes human is when the animal is mentally able to retain the intellect and capacity to conjure up the worst sin of all - pre-meditated murder. I would have no problem doing a day's work in a slaughter house killing cattle etc but seeing another human harmed in any way(especially for throwing a ruddy cat aginst a wall)is beyond me. Jail sentences or slavery are the only option for punishment.

I guess we find it wrong within ourselfs to harm other 'intelligent' species and we try to ballance our morels by drawing lines to sepperate the right killing from the wrong.
I dunno how to get it across it's just wrong to harm or even think about harming any other person. Unless we as a species loose this cancerous trait of killing one and other we'll never have peace and go extinct.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

I believe this is incorrect. unless either provoked or incredibily hungry, where it's instintic would take over from what we think would be normal behaviour.

Only on Animal Planet

Quote from Becky Rose :

I've never had an issue with acts of vigilantism as I have little faith in the judicial system.

I consider all life equal in merit to exist without undue harm.

Vigilantism and it's acts of harm due upon have no place in modern day society,
rights and law must direct every action taken in every case.
The second the decision is made by any being to bring physical harm upon any another(even in your case plants)is failure, there's no mid ground, kill or not to kill.
The Dark-Ages, now there was a time; primeval hormones flying everywhere and people lumping chunks offa one and other, entertainment for the masses driven by primeval instinct to kill or be killed.

Evolved society should look something different by now!

Anyway, everyone always says that 'oh~as long as someone else does the dirty work it's fine by me!'. The thing that goes against every grain to me is a person would make a decision to bring physical harm upon another human.

How to define Animal?

To draw a line(just for this topics purpose)an animal could come in the form of a warm blooded creature which is un-evolved as a species. Given the chance an animal would bring harm to a human, obviously not pre-meditated, moreso that the species can't control prime instincts to kill instead of just working things out.
Fact is that if all of a sudden somehow by magic your cat was twelve feet tall he'd take you out with not a blink of an eye to get what he wants and feel no remorse.

People who harm or condone to harm other people for any reason(be it in this case harming animals)belong locked up or in the Dark Ages, thats all i'm getting at.
