Depends what you want I think...
Security/privacy: Firefox and/or Opera
Usability and customization: Firefox
Speed: Google Chrome

Note that I don’t mention IE because it is part of the operating system and uses activeX function which makes it very unsafe to use… Only reason I don’t remove it is because it is needed to auto updates windows…

I have all browsers installed (ex Safari for personal reasons I will not discuss here) and like to use one for daily browsing and one for more sensitive operations…

Daily: Firefox with noscript, adblock, Wot, Webmailnotifier (also have spywareblaster to prevent 90% of spyware cookies without using any RAM or CPU) and it is set to delete all browsing data when I close it (exclude the cookies of my favorite websites)…next to that I have Flash, Shockwave, Quicktime alternative, Real alternative, WM pluggin and of course JRE (java)…Ho and I tweaked my Firefox to death following advises from this guide which I recommend to anyone: http://www.tweakguides.com/Firefox_1.html

Sensitive operations: Opera because they are almost always the fastest to react to security problems with very efficient patches ( I don't use it for anything else).

I am not a security freak, I like proper balance between security and user friendliness, but I know too much to do my Bank on a windows machine, for that I use something like puppy linux or any other quick linux distro I can boot with a live CD (strait from CDRom or from a virtual machine with an image when I am lazy).

For the irreducible IE users, there is one thing which has not been mentioned here, Check out Chrome Frame which is an open source plug-in that seamlessly brings Google Chrome's open web technologies and speedy JavaScript engine to Internet Explorer. http://code.google.com/chrome/chromeframe/

Edit: and always use the last version, this is very important for security!

I was just reading this article and thought let's post it here and aliment the fire a bit http://www.smh.com.au/technolo ... 609-xu3v.html?autostart=1

Quote :

BP, facing a tidal wave of bad publicity over the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, is buying search terms on internet search engines to point users to the company's official public relations crisis page.

Searches on Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft's Bing for "oil spill", "Gulf oil spill", or related phrases deliver a "sponsored link" at the top of the search results page to BP.com and the message: "Learn more about how BP is helping."

Clicking on the sponsored link takes a user to BP's website, where the company outlines the measures it is taking to combat the damage from the greatest environmental calamity in US history.

I remember Total and Shell reacting in similar ways when facing similar disasters, financing add campaigns is often cheaper than facing responsibilities.... This only demonstrates how much impact adds have on us and how brain washed we are by them.... and they know it

let's hope that this one is big enough to make us realize the price of our dependency to oil for energy...

Tonight we tune our wheels for Gen Pro, the car is FXO at FE3 track!

Good luck!

Tonight at the usual time (18:30UTC), on & R2R Gen Racing 2 races of 20min+1lap on WE1R with the FOX.

Good luck!

Tonight on & R4R Gen GTi/TBO we are doing 40min+1lap with pit on SO6R with the XRT!

Good luck!

Quote from dekojester :

NDR used the 20/23/24 in GTAL, and seemed to me that most drivers felt it was a good balance.

MoE added some ballast to the XR2, but that seemed to keep people away from it there.

I'd say that the 20/23/24 is sufficient for GT2.

I agree with you, we've tested it intensively on our GT2 server last year and came to the same conclusion, beginners seems to use the FX2 more and often makes it looks slow, but with Masai in it we had to hold him off with 23%...

So I'll say 20/23/24 too...don't like to combine added mass with air restriction...

Quote from Gener_AL (UK) :

Ohh the Horror , good luck Guys

I'll be needing quite a bit...

Very informative post EQ, THX for the hard work mate!

With this R2R may be reopening the GT2 server soon!

Tonight on & R2R Gen Racing the 2x20min+1lap event will be on AS4R with the GT1's!

Have fun!

THX a lot Lynce, great work and very generous of you mate!

I guess I know now what I will do with my weekend!

no it will work in your network if they are on the same router, to check what IP your pc has go Start/Run and type cmd, then type ipconfig.

The port is configured in server settings...

Make sure your firewall allows it, sometimes it popup in the back and connection fail because you don't see it..

Here some more info: http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/H ... #How_to_play_LFS_on_a_LAN

Just go multiplayer and create a new host, chose the track and in the next window select LOCAL by visibility...it will be LAN only...

To connect the other pc, chose local network and input the IP adress+port from the server PC to join...

Good luck!

Quote from franky500 :

anybody still playing RBR.

Got the RSRBR2010 mod on it so i can do online sessions (its against the clock but other people set times aswell)

I have installed the game no less than a dozen times in the past but have never got round to playing it.

i do not know why!.

THX for the heads up on RSRBR2010, I haven't played it for a while now, but I was a rally driver in RL (long time ago ) and I can say that RBR is the only rally sim where cars handles quite realistic. It is very challenging at first and you get the feeling you will never get it right, but when you do, it is the greatest reward in sim racing...give it a chance!

Tonight on & R4R Gen GTi/TBO we are doing 40min+1lap with pit on AS3R with the FXO!

Good luck!

Quote from obsolum :

Crap, then I'm too late Couldn't join earlier, I just now put the baby to bed.

EDIT: turns out my computer clock was an hour ahead

Hehe nice one! ....I've missed it....been too lazy this week and i had to catch up last night...

18:30UTC or 20:30 for Belgium!

Tonight's Dailycious event will be on KY2 with the LX4! (open series, no registration needed)

On the side, every year we like to organise a summer event, this year I'd like to it on GEN PRO with the sim club members ( http://www.ready2rollteam.com/ ... wtopic.php?f=67&t=674 ).

Personally I would like a little endurance race, but nothing has been decided yet, so if you have suggestions you're welcome to do so here.

THX and good luck tonight!

It is a competitive world our there and sadly it is rarely the one who has the idea who profit from it....

I think as community members we should always be grateful to the ppls willing to organize and create things for us, so thx for the hard work guys!

That said I do agree with Birder, an lfs community site should not have any kind of commercial system, of course donations are always welcome, but should not be required...

Quote from AMB :

Aha well your right, I do still love you, we all do, and yes 90% of people on the internet don't act like they do in real life, including me, some people let their anger out etc, usually it's like everyone has a second personality and that's the bad personality and it gets let out on the internet, forums, games, etc

Sorry if I have to disagree here, that ''second'' personality is the part ppls are too ''shy'' to show in real life, so it should not be dissociated from the ''first'', sadly it comes more out on the net because ppls feel no physical danger. On competitive games like LFS, ppls tend to show the worse and the best of what they are, I have met quite a few ppls from lfs community and they all were exactly like I've expected them to be...nothing more, nothing less... So I would say characters shown on LFS are quite real!

Quote from GAVD999 :

doesn't the "overall effects strength" need to be set above 100% to 101% - 105%, not sure if this is still the case. If it isn't then someone needs to edit the wiki

The new driver for the G25 is linear at 100% now, it was the first driver which had this problem...

As for the G27 with actual driver, after lots of testing, linearity is achieved at 105% and make sure to remove dead zone in LFS/option/controller/axis....and avoid using wheel turn compensation...

Always download last driver version on Logitech site, the one on CD is always older...

Grats for the new wheel!

Mmmmm, this looks great Lynce, nice work as always!

Tonight 40min+1lap with pit, & R4R Gen GTI/TBO with the RB4 on BL1R.

Good luck!

18:30UTC quali starts...
