So, I'm running Windows 7, and have looked at trying to get this working, with no luck at all. After digging around further, it appears that in the WDDM (Windows Display Driver Model) since Windows Vista, horizontal spanning has not been supported, or has been ommited for ... well, nobody knows why.
As a result, ATi and nVidia haven't been able to support spanning modes in their latest control panel software. Therefore, if you're using signed video display drivers, you won't be able to use horizontal spanning, and won't be able to make use of your two or more monitors properly. I'm somewhat miffed, myself.
If you're running Windows XP still, you'll have no such problems, and can span to your heart's content.
p.s. for those that are not aware, spanning allows you to have one large resolution across two or more monitors, not to be confused with merely extending your desktop.
Might be something to do with the fact that Kimi has grown an attitude towards F1, that perhaps Ferrari don't like.
Further to this, Alonso can go wherever he wants to. It's not as if Ferrari click their fingers and their drive of choice comes running, contract in hand. I suspect that Alonso wanted another run in Renault, because that's where he won the driver's championship, and he thought maybe that he was on to another winner there. Who is saying that Ferrari didn't try and get him two seasons ago, and it was Alonso that wasn't willing to move?
21) Slight south easterly prevailing wind, with a faint smell of beef in the air. Trees will have four legs, and dance to The Prodigy. Cars drive around a circuit.
22) Scotland invades, much haggis is eaten. Wenches are pillaged, and beer is drunk. Cars drive around a circuit.
23) Banana
I choose 23. You?
Change the record already, you've been blasting this nonsense for two seasons now. Did you even watch the post race video from last weekend? If not, I suggest you do.
Yeah, it appears that everyone on these forums is holier than thou, would always do the right thing, and never ever make mistakes.
You couldn't say what you would do, because you've not been put in that situation. Money makes people go crazy (imagine Nelson's bonus and Flav's bonus through the team scoring a win). It's all very well sitting there spouting the law, what is right and wrong, and what you would do, but all that goes out the window when someone is promising big dollar signs.
They are just repeating what another agency has reported. The source is dodgy, not the people that repeat the source.
If you want me to find and deliver source material for straight out lies, fake news, false quotes, spin and hyperbole, then please let me know, and I'll be glad to spam the **** out of this thread with links.
If it was real, and existed outside of anywhere else other than the news pages of a German website / magazine, or sites that have quoted the same source, then I would be able to find significantly more instances of the alleged conversation on the internet. As no other news agency is able to put a source to it, they haven't run it. Therefore, it's absolutely bunk.
Further to this, if you honestly believe that news agencies make their money by telling the truth, you are very much misguided.
All the haters are bashing Hamilton for looking up to Senna, then in the same breath, are kissing Senna's ass, claiming he was a deity.
Grow the f**k up, you stupid, stupid people. Especially you, TexasLTU.
I took a quick look at RTL's "story". The only "sources" given for this "quote" are an unnamed 'veteran British journalist' and that well-known purveyor of responsible and accurate reporting Sport-Bild.
For referential purposes, here is quotes from the alleged interview:
In the interview, Hamilton talks at length about how closely he has modelled his career on Senna.
Despite his reverence for Senna, though, Hamilton recoiled from equating his ability with the Brazilian's.

Yeah, because war crimes and formula one are comparable.
au contrate, mon ami.
if we apply the same logic, renault will be found guilty, yet won't be punished. however, mclaren will be punished, because they have an 'M' in their team name.
It's linked from the BBC website, so *shrug* I guessed so.
Anal retention you say? It might work ...
Fairy muff
Some people don't like sitting on the fence
There is also this, but I think that you give Piquet too much credit. I don't believe that he has the head on his shoulders to think of something like this all by himself.
Briatore also has the history to try and pull something like this off. He's a very shrewd business person, and he doesn't care if he upsets people. Whether or not this would extend to cheating, surely not!
Interestingly, I was reading Sebastien Vettel's twitter page earlier, and he had this to say:
Make of that, what you will.
You lot need to calm down.
Everyone is allowed an opinion, these are open forums, he can post whatever he likes. I'm sure you can find something worthwhile to argue about elsewhere.

On the same note, this doesn't mean we aren't allowed to use our brains. Exactly why is it rubbish? You'd do well to heed your own advice, especially as we aren't pretending to know all of the facts
Assume that he crashed intentionally - the jury is still out on that, but it's looking likely unless his right leg spazzed out and he lost control of that too.
Why else would he crash intentionally? It certainly wouldn't help his cause if his bosses WEREN'T aware of it. Him crashing intentionally would only benefit him if it was planned.
There is of course the possibility that he crashed because he wanted to piss his team off, because Briatore was treating him like shit. Although that just doesn't make sense.
And then there is the possibility that his crash was unintentional, and it was just a mistake. I'd like to see the telemetry data on that, it would be quite easy to see if it happened on purpose or not.
I hope the FIA are transparent with their findings, because they have history of covering things up, especially when money is changing hands, and Briatore has a lot of it.
I don't quite understand why everyone is bashing Piquet so much.
He was acting on orders from high, in the belief that it would make his life in the team easier. It's not like it was his idea, it was his bosses idea. Ultimately, the blame should fall on the decision makers at the top of the pile, not the mindless peon that's doing their bidding.
If anybody thinks that F1 is a clean cut, stand-up gentleman of an organization, they are sadly mistaken - the place is and will continue to be corrupt for a long time.
The difference these days, is that it's getting harder and harder to cover it up.

Aha! I had no sound, and spent 15 minutes restarting my window manager, sound daemon, etc. Eventually it worked, so I thought it was something I did. Good to know that BBC F1 streaming is still dodgy.
Damn, I love Monza as a spectator's circuit, it just feel right to see F1 cars on it.
There is of course the possibility that because the chassis, aero, engine, tyre and fuel rules are so feckin strict, that removing refuelling could actually make the racing better.
The cars are already tightly matched on the track, and the biggest gaps are only made because of a different in refuel strategy. You remove that, and we might actually see pack racing in F1 again.

So effectively what you're saying here is that drinkers make a pre-meditated decision before going out, to use A&E later that night.
*shakes head*
You sir, are a fool.
I have to say, that I disagree with Brundle in this case. Rocket cars racing down the salt flats is all about ultimate pace.
F1 is all about forefront technology racing cars, trying to get around a piece of tarmac before the others. The fastest straight line car isn't always the winner *shrug*

The distant cries of "Forza Fisi!". Yeuch.
I'll elaborate on my previous post, for fear of being a victim of my own suggestion.
Compare the two possible situations that Becky mentioned, and put yourself in a first person perspective;
UK:
"Ohnoes, teh person has fallen off their bike, I'll run over, check they are OK, and call an ambulance if they need one. That way, they can get better in hospital."
USA:
"Ohnoes, teh person has fallen off their bike. However, I can't be sure that they have insurance, so instead of getting myself involved in some sort of potential scam or putting myself in a situation where someone needs healthcare to live but isn't covered, thus making me feel like a lesser human, it'd be best for me to not get involved."
OK, the so the dialogue isn't the best, but it's pretty much what I was shooting for.

Do you ever read back what you type? This is the biggest sack of horseshyt I have read from you in a long time. Sort yourself out, and stop arguing for arguments sake.
