Quote from P5YcHoM4N :I think it's because women multi task why they suck so much at driving, men are block headed, anything we do is simple, we want sex we say we want sex, we want food we say we want food, we hate a guy we club him round the head, simple, block headed thinking. Women want sex they act all weird, they want food they hint at it, they hate a women they just say to all their friends "we're not talking to that girl today". Complex, confusing, crap for driving thinking.

Yep, women are much better multi-taskers which is why they perform better in the classroom and in things like executive positions, not to mention child rearing.
Men can focus on single tasks much better. Things like driving and masturbating.

Quote from Davo :What's a football?

Lol, I was trying to use the universal term for 'footy'.
Europeans get all touchy when you say 'soccer', and they have no idea what Aussie Rules is.

Quote from JJ72 :time to upgrade the wheel mate

Hey, I've got the same wheel.
You're right though, it's not the best. Especially as FF doesn't work on mine.

Here's a flaming 'nana for absolutely no reason...:bananadea

I was waiting for those to come up.
Should we change it to bad album covers month?

This one's a crash compilation, but isn't a sequence of moments of impact set to metal or techo music. It shows the leadup and sometimes post analysis of what happened. Good stuff by the dude that put it together.

Link works good.

I really liked the vid. A pure racing video with no need for music or uberschmick camerawork. Just let the cars and their noise provide the entertainment. If only the driver steering input looked smoother on mprs.

I think that sensible trackside camera angles would integrate well too.

EDIT-How many frames does it cost you in Fraps to record sound as well?

Album covers. Excellent.

I use open office and works well for simple documents and spreadsheets.
Not sure what it's like for advanced users.
It seems a lot less bloated than the MS suite too. i.e. No stupid dogs and paperclips talking to you. Where was the option to stab the dog in the eye with the paperlip?

Hopefully one day Bob or someone will batch them all into one big thread called "A Kazillion screenshots of damaged LFS cars".

They omitted it for legal reasons. Microsoft (and maybe Ninendo) are forking out cash to be able to keep it.

Quote from deggis :this time machine is a funny gadget...

Still not exactly that kind of vintage effect that I would like to have (in the 1st pic)... or then it's just when you stare at the same pic long enough it simply starts to look bad and you're never happy with the result.

Nice, but it looks like there was a earthquake in that first one.

EDIT - WTF, it's the second one now! First one is great though.

Although I wouln't go near a console racing 'sim', I hate it how people write off consoles just for the sake of it. I have a 360 32 inch LCD and 5.1 setup,and although it's a fairly standard setup, it ilooks and sounds fan-bloody-tastic.

Please don't crap on about resolution etc. It's apples and oranges.
I had a few mates over the other night, a few beers and playing Fight Night 3 for a couple of hours. Awesome fun in anyone's language. And noone said 'yeh but teh resolution suxors compared to the PC'. It's not an experience you can get on a PC.

Quote : After the invasion, when NO WMDs were found (and I mean none), the Bush administration did a complete backflip.

Maybe you forgot to read this bit.
I was making a point about Bush changing his reasons for the invasion after no WMDs were found. Sorry if it was confusing.

Quote from XCNuse :we invaded iraq to help it; besides terrorists and plots for terrorist attacks in other countries (like yours), we also went in to save/set up the/a government..

Sorry to bring this up again, but can you please justify this comment? It is absolutely not true. The original reason the Bush administration gave for it's premptive invasion of Iraq was a direct and imminent threat to America and 'her allies'.
After the invasion, when NO WMDs were found (and I mean none), the Bush administration did a complete backflip and said the premptive invasion was to oust Saddam and bring democracy to Iraq.

It astounds me that anyone can fall for that crap.

The theory is that if you tell a lie enough times, eventually it becomes the truth. It seems to have worked on some people.

The movies are just awesome on an artistic and technical level. That is obvious.
More importantly though, it gets me itching to boot up the PC and DRIVE!
Great job.

Quote from ajp71 :@Fordman - having visited the US pre-9/11 I agree the ideal is nice and generally the people are far more welcoming than you'd ever get in the UK. But there's a big but the current US style of life is destroying the world, it eats up energy over 50% of the worlds energy is used by the US IIRC, refuses to acknowledge global warming and is responsible for allowing a few extremists to destablise the world overnight.

Western countries are destroying the world, not just the States. My country I'm ashamed to say also didn't ratify the Kyoto agreement and we should hang our heads in shame too. It is up our governments to solve this. Unfortunately in the States (and in Australia too IMO), we have governments that play on peoples fears to get re-elected and bolster our unsustainable economies for a few more years. It will change (it is changing in America at the moment), but it will take time, and it will be years or decades before we get back on target in terms of the environment.

Quote from glyphon :that doesn't always work...i got my first ticket ~1 year ago after driving for 13 years with no tickets.

i got a ticket for doing 75mph (120km/h) in a 55mph (88km/h), and i was being passed on both sides by faster cars. cop said some bullshit about how he thought i was going to kick it up to 85mph(137km/h) or 90mph(145km/h)...don't know what gave him that idea, i had my cruise control on for over a mile. he then gave me a breathalizer (which read 0.00). ticket ended up being $200us (155euro) with fine and court fees.

Damn, that's unlucky, although 20mph over the limit is quite a lot.
BTW I didn't think cops in The States were allowed to breath test people unless they failed a sobriety test. Is this not the case?

Been driving for 10 years and never been booked for anything. I was pulled over for a breath test about 5 years ago. Just always make sure there's one car nearby going faster and you'll never get pulled over. In most citiesm I'm sure it's not hard.

The credits were great, and fortunately they went for half the length of the movie.

Quote from l1k3z0mg :Well i had some spare time on my hands so i did this.
It may not be much but i tried my hardest on the wheels.
It took me like 30 minutes to do this so please don't make fun of me because i am not that good at this, this is my first time doing something like this.

So please tell me how i did on this and please tell me what i need to improve on.

Not too bad, although I don't like skins with headlights, they overlap with the real ones and look fake.
You need to turn shadows on.
There is already a thread for edited pics. You should use this. Imagine if eveyrone created a thread for every edit they did. It would be chaos.
