Not a bad idea.

This would be beneficial also from an SEO perspective. The last time I checked the search industry agreed on that a page that change often is likely to be more frequently visited by search engines. Which consequently can lead to a boost in page rank.

I did a quick look at the posts, words frequently used are "racing" and "sim". So such an addition could make sense. But I suppose the "Community" LFS News should be differentiated from the "official" LFS News somehow.

Edit: After this statement a "follow us on twitter" (or whatever) link would be relevant, also?

Quote from brandons48 :

Also if you have spare gift keys for games in the bundle, post them here also!

On the "Click here for your Steam keys" page there is a discouraging paragraph:

Quote :

Steam will not provide extra giftable copies of games you already own.
All purchases are for your personal use only.

But trading is in fact officially legit!

If anyone missed it, there was quite a debate regarding trading/gifting individual keys (rather than gifting a complete bundle) a couple of months ago.

As a result, HB updated their terms of policy and even implemented a gift button for each individual Steam key.

Quote :

We’ve just rolled out an experimental feature that allows you to send extra games on Steam to someone else by clicking the gift icon next to the game on your download page. We and the developers we work with trust that our awesome customers will keep spreading the Humble way by sharing extra games with those who will appreciate it.

Perhaps I''m a bit daft, but doesn't most 120/144hz monitors run at 100hz just fine?

Quote from MadCatX :

I did a quick test with the WINE 1.7.11 and opensousdafrce drivers on Intel HD3000 and Radeon 6400M. As far as I could see there were no problems.

Hmm, I'm having some issues with wine-1.7.11.

LFS is complaining about not being able to open jpeg files. For example:

Tried with a clean install of LFS with the 6E12 exe and dll added only.

It still runs though (but without the jpegs, obviously).

I must say I didn't have any framerate improvements at all. I guess it depends on the PC specs

Quote from kamo2000 :

Laggy evening today so i setup my own server to check - no one connecting maybe port problem? 63392 opened.

Working great. Where is everyone?

The password, anyone?

Quote from Fordman :

anybody about to help me test this now?

Fordie

Yup the S1H7 download available in the LFS Download archive seems to work great.

So will we set any start times for "big" races or will we just be doing pick up races during the weekend?

A tragedy, obviously. But sigh ...

Fox 13, must be a novelty channel, right? The way they present the news (especially the voice of the narrator and what they stress) reminds me of, well, Cops. Moreover, they detail the shooter. The Cynical Brit highlights the problem with that and similar issues in a good way.

Gah! Stupid 1 month difference. But I actually started playing LFS in 2003. Do I qualify then?

Ooops, bump. Sorry.

Since we do have the test patch thread perhaps this thread belongs in OT.

Quote from sti228 :

I don't understand why in this forum so many people think that i am from Mars and i can't use google ? It's because i am for Georgia ? Really ? I asked 2 questions. I don't need systems explain... And before ask here i read all topics about ban with ip address and don't find answer how to do this with windows firewall. Also as i said firewall block my server when it's turn on and can't find any way to start server when it's turn on (not off).

Windows 7?

Try this (attachment).

Well, what first comes to mind is firewall configuration.

1. Configure your firewall to DROP or REJECT all incoming requests FROM the offending IP(s) or IP-range(s).
   
2. LIMIT the number of NEW connections (to the targeted port(s)).
   
3. Configure your firewall to DROP or REJECT incoming UDP requests TO the targeted UDP port(s) (not a good idea if you have vital servers listening on any given port/interface.
   

Hard to give any practical advice with the little amount of information given.

You are likely to be given more advice if you provide information regarding your issue (circumstances, firewall software, extent of the attack, etc).

Good luck.

Thanks for the advice, everyone. Really appreciate it!

I've decided to bin/gift everything that doesn't work in my current rigs and, obviously, everything that is way old (CBA to sell stuff for just a couple of bucks, even though it'd surely add up).
Also I decided to keep only one or two copies of stuff that I've got many of (computer power cables, for example -- 10+. Sheesh!).

Hahaha, awesome! I hear now is not the best time to (mine) and sell gold, though.

Quote from wildstyle :

Pretty hard to tell you what to keep and what to throw away (or sell), considering we don't know what the different boxes contain.

Well, I meant more in general, I was curious about what you guys do with YOUR stuff.

Hey guys,

So this is how I spend my evening off: Going through my old stuff:

It's a mess. I'm not sure what to keep, how to sort it, or even how to wind cables properly.

What's your thoughts on this? Any fellow geeks out there with good advice?

(sorry about the poor picture quality.)

Quote from Shotglass :

with the exception of one fairly expensive eizo those are all tn panels (ie junk)

Sure, sure. Absolutely worth taking into consideration, but ...

Quote from tristancliffe :

[...] gaming [...] Would like to spend as little as possible [...]

For gaming, a TN screen will give Tristan more bang for the buck. But I just realized 120 GBP might not even be enough for a 120+ hz TN monitor. :\

Quote from HenkkaWRC :

Also, if you are mainly playing games, like LFS, which arent graphically so demanding, or you have good graphics card, you should consider buying a monitor that has high refresh rate (120Hz or 144Hz) so you could get the optimal experience.

Quoted for truth.

Quote from Whiskey :

U2312HM

Quote from JazzOn :

U2312H

Ugh, both just 60hz. To avoid tearing (vsync off) or capping the game to 60fps (vsync on) I'd definitely recommend a 120+ hz monitor.

Dell, without a doubt make great monitors. Perhaps consider looking at alternatives that support more than 60hz.

FWIW I'm very happy with my BenQ XL2420T.

Take another look at my post, you'll see an image.

Doesn't work with Firefox for me. Another browser shows the text Germanv.. No idea if thats offensive or not, I think you lost me.

in that case you ****ed up
all i see is a small line down next to the comma

Quote from ImudilaSkyline :

Again, interesting project, Becky. I'd like to try it.

Guys, how about this?

Are you from ?

Bah. Turns out it's pretty hard to get it aligned properly. If it's at all working! :P

Edit: Heh! Well this was a nice way of getting the IP adresses and browser information of the forum visitors. :dunce:

Quote from Boris Lozac :

But, what behaviour, WHITE SWEDISH MAN. I'm sure i got you crying and breaking things in your house on Christmass eve with this comment..

Yes, I'm aware that I'm privileged and perhaps "not one to to speak", if that's your point (because I'm not quite sure).

Thanks for highlighting my point of view though -- That the discussions in Sweden, as well as the one in this thread, are important.

I'm sorry (and a bit suprised) if you took offence.

Quote from Bean0 :

I think the trend is that right-wing parties are getting more and more support all over Europe recently. It's not that the voters support racism, more that they see these parties as the only ones who have some sort of policy regarding the restriction of immigration and/or benefits to immigrants, which seems to be the thing a lot of people are concerned about given the unemployment rates throughout Europe as a whole etc.

To put it basically, why should we import more unemployed scroungers when we have enough of our own that we can't afford to support ?

I hear ya. I never meant to take a stance in the discussion regarding foreign/migrant workers, though. Sorry if I did. But that matter (politics), and the matter of racism (ideology), are two separate things in my point of view.

Quote from Becky Rose :

*deep bow* I've been chuckling to myself all night whilst waiting for the ban hammer :P

I believe the appropriate term is:

trololol.

Bottom line:

I know now that I've might have jumped in at the deep end with my comments. I must admit I did not give them a lot of thought. But I think that's just how I am. I go by my gut. I'm not well-read enough to get into the hardcore political discussion but I do trust my instincts when it comes to spotting prejudice and a-hole behavior.

Though I'm not perfect. I've got lots to learn. That's why I'm thankful these discussions crop up (edit: and I obviously do not mind when someone (in this case, the LFS forum moderators) stands up for what also I happen to think is right).

Quote from Becky Rose :

That's the problem with people from , they're all the same.

Haha, you got me! The fact that, in Chrome, the "text" was a bit mis-aligned gave it away.

Nice one!

Wasn't planning to post in this thread but since y'all got me started -- In the last election in Sweden an absurd, right-wing party made it into government. Since then, and especially during the last year the discussion about racism really took off. Which, without taking sides, is a good thing. It allows people to actually think about what they think, say and how they act.

To me, it's not just about the blunt, full on racism. It's also about the small things, such as the comment that Scawen acted upon.

FWIW, I support Scawen's (and co's?) initiative to bite such behaviour in the bud.
