Except for the whole, you know, that one of them is illegal and one of them isn't.
I agree actually. I've been enjoying the last two series, but I'd like Moffat to get back to what he does best, which is small, character driven episodes, based round a simple idea and executed perfectly. The Girl in the Fireplace and Blink are two of the most perfect hours of television that have ever been made. I think if anyone is in any doubt as to whether Doctor Who is any good, they must watch those two episodes, as you will not find an example of any TV show that's as perfectly pitched and executed as those.
In addition, the lovely Karen Gillan is lovely. Also ginger and Scottish.

It's hard to explain, but Doctor Who is funny, inventive, clever and entertaining, and so few shows are these days. I used to hate Doctor Who when I was a kid, almost ignored the revamp, but then I watched Empty Child/Doctor Dances and was instantly converted. Yes, it's camp and silly, special effects aren't great and some of the filler episodes are awful, but when it hits its stride it's without doubt the most entertaining show on TV. Above all Doctor Who is just fun, I love it.
Edit: Anyway, don't want to side-track this thread into my weird Doctor Who obsession.

It would be much easier to hate the BBC if Doctor Who wasn't on in four hours.
Edit: Also it's Bill Hicks night on BBC4!
I was trying to fix a friends Dell recently and it took me ages to figure out that the recovery CD was actually an image on its own partition of the hard disk. Very strange and annoying. Eventually managed to talk her into buying an OEM version of Windows 7 for £50, now everyone is happy. Much better to have an actual legit copy of Windows than messing round with recovery disks or pirate copies. £50 isn't much more expensive than a launch-day game, so no reason really not to pick one up.
OEM copies are perfectly legit, only they don't come with Microsoft support. Whoever calls MS support anyway?

That's a pretty good point, actually. Although it could never happen, it would be utterly fascinating to put the bottom six drivers into a top car to see what sort of lap times they could muster. I reckon the results would be quite surprising.

Standouts: Alguersuari and Senna
Losers: Schumacher, DiResta and Button

I was unhappy to see Heidfeld replaced, but I'm actually quite impressed by Senna's performance, he's doing a really solid job considering.
That's how it looks, Maldonado side-wiped Hamilton on the exit of LaSource. Hard to believe that it was intentional, definitely needs investigation. If it was intentional then Maldonado should be disqualified, in my view.
Oh man, Button out in Q2. Didn't see that coming. 
Experimenting with adding a method similar to Send, that allows you to send buttons. Right now it's called InSim.Button(). As with Send it's a convenience method and not a complete replacement for all the functionality that the IS_BTN packet provides.
Here's how you use it. There are a couple of different overloads for it.
You can find it in the latest changeset on the repository.

Hardly a wreak, he spun and nerfed the barrier. DiResta did the same thing pretty much.
You also need to specify the Interval, which is the milliseconds between each MCI packet being sent.
pyinsim.insim('127.0.0.1', 29999, Flags=pyinsim.ISF_MCI, Interval=1000, Admin='thecorrectpass', IName='insim test')I meant to reply to you and explain to use a timer, but I've been so busy lately I forgot. Still you figured it out yourself anyway. Sorry. 
No, buttons are bit too varied to simplify into a couple of method calls. Maybe I'll think about adding something to help with them in the future.
The only thing different I would do is to send them like this, as I think this looks a lot neater. But it's just a preference thing.

insim.Send(new IS_BTN {
H = 100,
L = 100,
T = 100,
W = 100,
Text = "OKKK",
UCID = ncn.UCID,
ClickID = 5,
ReqI = 245,
BStyle = ButtonStyles.ISB_CLICK
});You use the IS_MTC (message to connection) packet:
But InSim.NET contains a couple of little convenience method for doing it.
To send a message to a specific connection:
Or to send to a specific player:
insim.Send(new IS_MTC { UCID = ucid, PLID = plid, Msg = "Hello, InSim!" });But InSim.NET contains a couple of little convenience method for doing it.
To send a message to a specific connection:
insim.Send(ucid, "Hello, InSim!");Or to send to a specific player:
insim.Send(0, plid, "Hello, InSim!");It doesn't truncate the prefix, it's probably the player's name, as was stated. I normally do something like this:
<?php
if (mso.UserType == UserType.MSO_PREFIX) {
var commands = mso.Msg.Substring(mso.TextStart).Split();
if (commands.Any()) {
var command = commands.First().ToLower();
switch (command) {
case "$exit":
// Handle command
break;
}
}
}
?>
This is the simplest way I can think to do it. Upload a text file somewhere with two lines, the version and the download URL.
Then you could read it like this (without any error checking). This checks if there is a new version, then launches your default browser to the download page.
1.2.3.4
http://www.website.com/downloadpageThen you could read it like this (without any error checking). This checks if there is a new version, then launches your default browser to the download page.
<?php
void UpdateApp() {
var versionFile = new WebClient().DownloadString(VersionFileUrl); // Download file.
var tokens = versionFile.Split(Environment.NewLine);
var version = new Version(tokens[0]); // .NET has a handy version class.
var url = tokens[1]; // Download page URL.
if (version > Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version) {
if (MessageBox.Show("A new version is available, do you want to download it?", "Download Update", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question) == DialogResult.Yes) {
Process.Start(url); // Launch browser
}
}
else {
MessageBox.Show("The current version is up to date");
}
}
?>

I've been wanting to add an auto-update feature to this, but I'm stuck trying to figure out a way to get the version number of the latest release from CodePlex. It seems CodePlex has an API that allows you to create and update releases, but nothing that allows you to simply get some info about what the most recent release actually is. Seems a bit of an oversight, to be honest. Obviously there are other options, for instance I could parse the releases page and read the release info from there, but that seems like complete overkill. I guess the best route will be just to upload some text file somewhere that contains the latest version number and download URL, and then use that to update the app. Still this would require me to either upload the file manually using FTP, or to write some kind of build script that uploaded it for me. It would be much nicer if CodePlex offered an API that you allowed to get the URL and version number of the latest release of the project.

It is written in C# and uses the .NET Framework. You can edit it using Visual Studio 2010 Express.
I just posted it because I don't really have time to work on it anymore, but it seemed silly to let all that effort go to waste. Maybe someone will finish it for me, or maybe someone will learn something by looking at the code.

Here is the version I had been working on. It works great for basic driver's championships, but it might have a few bugs here and there as it's unfinished. As I posted previously, I lost the original source code for the program when my old hard disk died, this was meant as the replacement.
Warning: although the program works OK, some of the source code is quite poor. Normally I try to improve the code before I release a program. This stuff is just raw and untweaked (although looking through it now it doesn't look that bad really).

The answer to the first three questions is 'no'.
I've not released a new version of this for a few years now. I do have a rewritten version, which is a lot nicer than the old one, but it doesn't have as many features (lacking team support mainly), so it has never made sense to release it.
In terms of donations, as I'm no longer actively working on this, there's no reason to pay me any money. Anyway, you're the first person that's ever offered.

I saw this earlier and thought 'huh?', then I realized it's not a message to the British, it's propaganda meant to make the Iranian authorities look reasonable to the Iranian people. Whenever another country descends into anarchy, the Western world calls for calm and reason. Iran is trying to show their own people that they're able to sit up at the big-boys table.
