OK, not for Vykos, as I know he is off to bed but I am now going to be that annoying little kid and ask.......


BUT WHY

they could stick the exe into a disassembler (sp?) but then they will only get machine code. and that will be nearly impossible to tell apart from sound, physics, graphics etc. and even if they could only get the physics code, they still need to then translate it back into c++ and that will be totaly stupid.

much faster / cheaper to write it from scratch, its only maths

http://support.microsoft.com/d ... aspx?scid=kb;en-us;327809 could that be the reason for some of the problems?

SYMPTOMS
Certain programs (for example, games) may not run correctly on hyper-threaded computers, dual-processor computers, or single proc computers in which the CPU speed is greater than 2 gigahertz (GHz).

i take that back, i was at the office until 8:30pm today

congrats mr scawen!

is there a release date for version 2?

Dumass's point about collision dection is the only sensible suggestion as to why there must be a reset speed and he made it without sounding like a know-it-all.

i win! i can make demos if needed! *wobbles off muttering to self*

Quote from AndroidXP :

Err, no? If I'm not misunderstanding you, it would increase the reset speed, so it would be more than 718 km/h.

thats correct, a faster frame rate = smaller time step (the amount of time to advance the physics simulation per step) so the car will go less distance in a single step.

its most likely due to the following reasons:

collision detection (i doubt LFS has continuous collision algorithms)
spring stabability (moving the suspension so far in a single step)
general forces (could cause the car "joint" or the main simulation to "explode")

if the reset thing is removed then going any faster will most likely result in the car falling through the ground due to missed collisions

instead of using the december build why not use the feb build? i tryed lfs in it and it worked well, but i dont have sound drivers so cant comment on the sound

serves you right for buying a car like that then (also for not checking how much the insurance is before buying it)

finally got around to trying out virtual server and its pretty damn good. now all i have to do is convince the directors to let me go wild with the credit card!

ho hum! i will have to look through our msdn dvds tomorrow

ive been using VPC 2004 a bit, but im too lazy to sit in front of the host node and connecting to the it with remote desktop when VPC is loaded is not a nice experience

hmm, seems we got our jobs the same way then ill have to bug them about getting me another test server to destroy

TAA: can i ask if you have any microsoft training? (certified engineer/administrator or something) as i will be starting some sort of training soon (yep, im a n00b )

Quote from the_angry_angel :

To be honest, other than a few bug fixes, introducing IMF as standard, and sender ID / SPF (which is pretty much arse as no one supports it), theres not much extra to SP2. Just seems like an extra thing to bill someone for at this point...

dont forget remote wipe for mobile devices and email push although email push kills the battery (has to be on gprs all the time)

if the temp rise is not a glitch in the bios then it may be because the usb device is beeing constantly polled, causing a higher then normal cpu load (ie, the cpu is never idle)

Quote from sgt.flippy :

As far as I know it's 100% compatible with computers, Logitech just doesn't puts it under their garantee.

doesnt mean it was designed for pcs though

probably because the wheel is made for the ps2

hmm, live for speed isnt mentioned in the release notes!

Quote from Clownpaint :

IE sucks. Even the new one.

well thats where your wrong. for my dad, IE7 is the best choice, ff just doesnt work in his favor and the new phishing security in IE7 is great

schools normally block .bat files anyway

i wouldnt recommend playing lfs at school

Traitor! Doubly so, since you're called Tux

go Windows 2003!

Quote from ORION :

Just wait for Tux replying here

I've given up on running it in linux

a tracert gets lost in blueyonder's network, and the master server doesnt reply to pings. but if you get into the blueyonder network then we can assume its not a in between (whats the right word for that?) network fault like before
