what the hell are you talking about!?

do you even have something SPECIFIC in mind or are you writing things randomly???

i see there is no love for rc models:sorry:

Quote from tristancliffe :

Assuming friction, rolling resistance and aero drag are the same - in fact, assuming the cars are absolutely identical in every way, and interact with nature in exactly the same way, but one has more mass - then they will go at the same speed!

where is the added mass located? on the wheels? then it is not certain which will go faster. in the body? then the heavier will go down faster. distributed? not certain again

the weird explanation about memory corrupted by other apps would hold if the drivers have gone really wonky.

no.
(the easy answer)

i really really REALLY doubt that water can make brakes lose even a fraction of their stopping power. if there was OIL in that puddle, then maybe yes... but if that was the case, then oil in the brakes isn't your problem i think.

is it possible that the signs are meant for way older cars which didn't have so powerful brakes?

your fan is dying and your gpu is getting hot.
get some proper spray for motors or something. ask around, i do not know how they are called.
that might not be related to the texture corruption. that could be many things.

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :

The only exception to the rule, that I was taught, is if you go through a deep puddle/ford/whatever just gently apply the brakes with your left foot well still applying the throttle, so when you need them later on they don't aquaplane.

you mean, in order to keep the brake pads dry?
dunno. seems kinda extreme to me.
i'll try it someday though.

santa claus, saint nicholas (Άγιος Νικόλαος) is real. that is, there actually was a person who was pronounced 'saint'.

he's dead though

Quote from Jakg :

I know i'm meant to use my right foot - i've never made that mistake before. But i made it twice in my car

don't ever, EVAR, use the clutch foot for braking.

your clutch foot is either

• PRESSING THE CLUTCH
  
• RESTING ON THE FOOTREST
  

keep it simple like that

(i hope you noticed that there is no option to 'rest foot on the clutch')

i read your comments and you are doing quite an effort... but...

TOO DEEP NESTING!! AAAAAH!

here you go, then. http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy

maybe you want to read it more slowly, i dunno (talking about the earlier url. not the one in this post) . i'm not even english and i can understand what it says pretty well.

That just might be the stupidest thing I've heard in some time.

astronomicaly epic fail

studying a lot does NOT mean that you are right.

that's all there is to it, really.

Quote from lerts :

but none but me knows how an astronaut uses a screwdriver in space

they use the electricity from batteries and a gearbox to overcome the problem. more detail is not necessary for this discussion

Quote from lerts :

they admited they knew astronauts use something to be able to use a screwdriver but dont know exactly what

yeah so? how do you go from that, to "conservation of momentum is false" ?

Quote from lerts :

you may think as a phisicist that whatever you say has more value than what i say, well im almost an engineer and i spent probably far more time than you studing gyros, as you can see that post is from 2005

i don't care what you have studied or how much you have studied, even those who believe the earth is flat can tell you that they have studied a lot, that doesn't mean that what they think is right.

Quote from lerts :

what i say is pretty obvious, but nobody will see the naked emperor

what you say is wrong. the smart comments about what you say being correct are not arguments.

if you want to be taken seriously you have to describe in great detail the experiment because your claim that conservation of momentum is wrong is very very serious and we need to make absolutely sure that nothing is left to luck.

"conservation of momentum is wrong because see i have this thing rotating and an other thing rotating and i move them, oh there is also electricity involved" this is what i have understood so far with your comments both in this thread and the thread on advancedphysics.org

Quote from lerts :

gyros offer resistance to be rotated, oposite sense gyros have no precesion, they cancel each other

yeah, so? the system that contains both the gyros has 0 angular momentum. each gyro alone has a very non-zero momentum. if you connect something to one gyro, momentum will start being transfered to it and the gyro will lose momentum. if you start rotating the assembly of gyros you will start spinning yourself.

Quote from lerts :

do you think im the only one who says cons of momentum is wrong?im not

doesn't matter how many of you are out there. until you give a very good and clear example, you are just ignorant. sorry, that's how it works.

Quote from lerts :

nor cons of energy nor momentum is an undiscusible truth, in fact most advanced physics as quantic says undiscusible that vacuum is a sea of energy

this has nothing to do with conservation of energy. vacuum has energy but that doesn't mean that you can go about extracting energy from it. to gain energy from something you have to make that drop in energy. since vacuum can NOT have zero energy, you can not take the energy.

Quote from lerts :

and i couldnt discuss it cause they locked it so nobody got to know how an astronaut uses a screwdriver

completely utterly unrelated

Quote from lerts :

i find interesting the quantum physics concept that vacuum has energy, that makes energy of the universe infinite

it could mean that, but i do not know what does this have to do with the discussion.

Quote from lerts :

if its infinite in energy it might be as well in time, then we dont need god to explain things

what? who uses god to explain physical phenomena?! this is insane, the discussion is completely pointless and you have no basis on which to stand and call yourself a scientist or an engineer.

nope. they explained it very well.

Quote from Calvinaquino :

I do think that PSP is able to run LFS. but correct me if im wrong:
Being that LFS s written in C (or C++ ), they could transfer the code over to XNA and run it on Xbox 360 am i rite?

they've managed to run windows on xbox (link) so they don't really have to change anything serious (that's my guess though).

Quote from masternick :

go look at some of the other posts of mine in this thread and some other posts from some of the drifters on here

i read some, but none actually substantiate the claim that we don't know about drifting. in fact, three of those ( 1, 2, 3 ) are just the typical "you don't know about drifting". you never actually explained why.

Quote from masternick :

tho i'm pretty sure you think you know alot about drifting and wont listen to half the posts in here that say your wrong

i don't see... how does it matter what i think i know? this is another simple case of people running out of arguments and just saying "you have no idea". personal attack at its finest...

i dunno all about this theory...
all i know is that if you want to test all this, just get in a car, do some timed laps, then repeat the laps with the car fully loaded.

bwahahahaha

You still haven't explained how or why "we have no idea". You only keep repeating it and variations of it.

ok, so you say that i have no idea about drifting. anyone can make that claim about anyone and anything. can you substantiate it?

i like it how when they 'punch' each other, they simultaneously stomp their foot to make noise, distract and give the illusion of awesomeness or something like that
also the floor is softer than a muffin :

it's male choreography with pretend violence

Just to show you that what you just said does not mean you know what you are talking about, you still can't speel propar englisch

Omg! Yes! :d

for the life of me i can nto undrsand how you can press a joystick or controller buttan faster than a keyboard

they amde this divice that you wear like headphones which makes pulses to your ear that you can't hear much but messes with your inner ear the cochlea and acually mekes you feel your moving for real!!! i see if ifind youtube
