His attempted lap to get into Q3 was pretty spectacular to watch on board. Shows a bit more visceral driving than the past.
The LX8 was never supposed to be released content. I don't know why people keep talking about it, especially because LX6 racing is so rare (and always was except for a few niche leagues).
What I'm saying is that what people perceive to be "Android" is not the AOSP components, but the Google Apps components. You give an average user an AOSP only device and ask them to use it, their immediate complaint will be "How do I has Facebook".
That's how the GApps == Android works. To an average end user, given an AOSP device, will find it totally useless.
Nokia/Kindle Fire/etc devices which implement their own Market aren't bare AOSP devices as they do have some sort of market. They're still not really Android how most would perceive them, but they add enough functionality to be able to install Facebook for an average user.
Regardless, I've had this argument a kazillion times in IRC about how AOSP !== Android, and I'm not really prepared to repeat myself again for the kazillionth time.

Perhaps this article will make it more clear how AOSP !== Android. It's even worse now because the ****ing home screen isn't even opensource anymore

Google is actually trying to make AOSP an unsustainable effort by removing any semblance of updates to the core apps, and instead forking them and only updating them as closed source items.
By definition, Google Apps is actually a rootkit. It hides itself deep in the OS, and has unfettered access to the entire platform to install updates at its will (separate from actual Market updates).

Well, for it to be "Android" the GApps package is mandatory. Else it is just AOSP. Most people think of "Android" to be the services that the GApps package jackhammers in, not the actual core OS.
Has Scawen really changed his plans that much though other than timeframe? The things that have been on the docket for some time are still tyre physics, Scirocco and Rockingham.
The things that have been "distractions" are either things to fix a imminent problem (DX9 support because AMD cards are ****ing up at DX8) or things that interest Scawen like proper VR support. Something that is important as a developer, is that if you're in a state where you're unmotivated, doing a "personal interest" project can renew your motivation on a greater project.

Other developers get into similar situations as Scavier, but for whatever ****ing reason, this community takes every baited breath as a promise. Other communities go "oh cool, developer is planning this".
The LFS community (at least a subset, for whatever reason, probably brain damage) takes it as this promise and expectation that they are entitled to whatever was announced.
That's the difference between other developers and LFS. Other communities are a lot less conceited and entitled to whatever the developer mentions as a potential feature.
Problem is, if Scawen gives any kind of time estimation, everyone jumps on it like a slut on a dick and proceeds to treat it like a promise and that they're entitled to whatever was "promised". As infuriating as it is, silence is actually better because then the retards don't treat everything as a promise and instead just rage on each other over past "promises".
Chrome is technically closed source. We can build Chromium, but who knows what is bundled into the actual "Chrome" version that Google distributes.
Same as Android. It's closed source. People can only compile AOSP, but Google can include whatever rootkits or misc technology into the "Google Apps" kit.
So fairly similar to my PC that I built, except I went for a better CPU.
I get 100 FPS in AC.
Nope, you're right on the money.
So Bose, you know what we have to do...
Lets just send them a vibrator, Tell them that you duct tape it to your wheel and adjust it to your liking, and it simulates the cars engine vibration. Watch as they review it swimmingly!

Have you ever watched their "show"?
Airquotes because it's really just a giant advert.
Another series for me to noob up again 
Not really.. They have iRacing's dicks shoved so far down their throat, it's coming out of their ass. They don't even try to fake it, they wear about as much iRacing apparel as humanly possible. It might as well be called "iRacingTonight" for their blatant biases.
Again, the eternal forum Catch 22. You get flamed if you bump an old thread, but you get flamed for posting a new thread and get told to search.
Again, supporting Linux is not just about the graphics. There's so many other components that are required that just don't work on Linux like FFB wheels.
Wine does good enough, and going native Linux doesn't add anything except more complexity to the end users experience (and break other shit).
With Australian internet, you might have it downloaded by S3 release.
I guess it depends on your GPU. With my AMD card in my laptop, I could set it up to use 2 monitors for a triple screen setup. nVidia forces 3 equal surfaces for a multi monitor setup.
If a games DRM servers go down (like GFWL did), how are you supposed to activate your software?
the GFWL thing is actually quite amusing (terrible) because most of the games that integrated it required it for saving, so GTA4 doens't even work for saving because of GFWL being killed.
Some games (Batman Arkham Asylum) have gone and re-released on Steam (free for previous owners) a non-GFWL version, but some never will and will be broken forever.
At this point, the idea of "licensing" your games has never been stronger. It's about being smart enough to not purchase from services that are likely to cease to exist. I think it's pretty safe at this point that it would take a HUGE event for Steam to go out of business, and I'm sure (considering all of their other wise choises) that they do have an exit strategy in the unlikely case that it happens.
