There are a handful of companies that claim rights to mp3 technology. I don't think they care about open source/free mp3 software, but LFS would need to get a license to be cool.
You know what would rock? Some kind of OGGSynth program. There's this movie editing software called AVISynth where you make up a little script with a .AVI extension and load it up in some software that supports AVIs, and through the script and AVISynth it streams some other video file and transcodes/edits it on the fly. If there were some open source software that transcoded mp3s on the fly and sent it to a program as an ogg, you could cheat the system! Probably wouldn't be practical irl, but it sounds good on paper

+1 - Next: track biographies on the track selection screen!
In the top left corner where it says "LX6" or what have you, I think it should say "LX6 @ BL1." Or am I the only one who forgets what track I have loaded/have been racing
Or when I've just joined a server, I'll go to the garage and think "Bah wtf track is this again?"
Personally, the addition of more options is intimidating. Making a setup from scratch is difficult enough for me. I fully support the addition of more information though! Torque curves, spring frequencies, critical damping values, etc would all be extremely helpful I think.
Great work Hyper.

Great video! Good choice of music. I could feel the tension. For some reason that closeup of the taillights where you could see the skyscrapers really stood out to me; very cool.

Great work DaveWS! Very cool to see your work included in the test patch - What an honor!
It could be set up with a channel system in game.
- A user could create a voice channel, with access granted by either invites or passwords or what-not. Each team and/or group of friends would be able to have their own little channel.
- Each user could set up server specific auto-joins. Each time you join ServerA it will automatically /join TeamWinz:iddqd, and when you join ServerB it will /join CopzTeam:idkfa
- A default "general" channel could exist. For those who like to make and/or hear random noises and yell "blue flag!" this would be the place to go.
- And of course you'd be able to easily squelch any one or more users.
It's 4:30am, I work tomorrow, I was just about to go to bed, but now I want to race.

Fear of a Black Hat? That's only one of the funniest movies ever!
And for anyone who hasn't seen it ... F.Y.M!
Heh, almost tempting.. But not quite. Quite a variety though.

Personally, 3 & 4 are basically simultaneous for me I think. It's hard to really picture it not being in my car atm, but I'm pretty sure I'm still moving the shifter while I blip the throttle.
As an aside, I drive a 92 Isuzu Amigo (compact 4x4 SUV kinda thing) so my pedals aren't exactly designed for racing, but it's easy enough for me to blip just by rolling my foot to the side a bit.

Someone mentioned Prodigy? Heh I listened to Music for the Jilted Generation at least six times on my way to San Francisco last week

I just call mine "my Japanese amigo" - that's what it is /shrug (Isuzu Amigo)
I guess that makes it masculine, but I don't think I've ever called it "he." It's an "it."
In fact, I can't recall hearing anyone refer to a car as "he." It's always feminine as far as I've observed. "He" just sounds weird.

I've only a minute before running to work so I'll keep this short.
I've been driving for about 9 years, and I consider myself a very good driver. I drive the optimum lines - within the painted lines and never more than 5mph over the speed limit. I'm situationally aware, and know exactly how my vehicle will respond to any given input.
However, I've been in two pretty serious accidents where both cars involved were total losses - luckily all people escaped with minor injuries. I was 0% at fault in both instances; both collisions were unavoidable for me.
No matter how superior your driving is, things can happen that 1)You can't be held accountable for and 2)You are incapable of avoiding. Obviously you are aware of the inferior driving skills of other people on the road - If you really are as great of a driver as you claim, these are the people that are going to get you in trouble.
No one is invincible.

That 99mil ps3 was some kind of hoax, can't remember where I read about it o.O

Uh, not if you have it set up properly...
My (RL) clutch feels completely linear. The feedback for me is the engine sound and the movement of the vehicle, not through my foot. Obviously there's a point where the clutch begins to (dis)engage, but for my car that is at about a third of the pedal's travel, not the way it is in game.
Ha! That's funny, because whenever the wanker-of-a-boss'-son is in my office watching me LFS and I fxck up and slide, he's always like, "wow dewd kewl drift!1" Makes me want to punch him in the face :o I don't give a piss about drifting one way or another, except for the wannabe ricer F&F lamos that make the entire thing seem completely stupid. As long as they either stay in their drifting through gears servers or off the public roads, don't try to claim that they're racing, and don't try to talk to me, I don't really care.
Good one, though I'm still partial to the Speed skating vs. Figure skating...
So I guess to answer the original question, blame the wanker poseurs that fxck it up for everyone else.
My car is a 1992 Isuzu Amigo 4wd manual (my Japanese Mexican friend), but I drive my girlfriend's 2004 Honda CR-V AWD auto (the Corporate Response Vehicle) just as often (She doesn't like my car 
)
For the record, my car gets about 20mpg, hers 30.

X-Plane is a great sim. It does have a kind of combat mode, but it's not really dedicated to that. You can fly around and shoot other planes, but it just shuts the engines down when they get hit; they don't blow apart and crash and burn. It's still fun though, the chase itself is what it's about for me 
Oh, I'll just quote x-plane's site (Caps are his, not mine, sorry):
That being said, it's a wonderful sim with a great flight model. It's even been certified by the FAA for real flight training :o
