Oh dear...

Good luck Ken!

Eurosport commentators were saying at the start of the race that Honda had introduced some engine improvements and were wondering how it would affect the fuel consumption, so i guess that was it...

Quote from Mp3 Astra :

Does someone keep changing the amount of capital Os in the title? I swear there were only a couple in it earlier...

Indeed... Last time I looked there was only 1

Who are we to mess with another culture? Are you saying we shouldn't eat pork because the jews don't like it?

Also, if you read DWB's post, this isn't actually such a big issue anyway...

Quote from amp88 :

Tens of thousands of people die every day from starvation, thirst and preventable diseases. The world should put those people first, not other animals. Something I don't understand is that people are so shocked that some countries would eat dog meat or horse meat. Why are dogs and horses so different from cows, chickens, pigs etc? If dogs have been bred for food in these countries for tens or hundreds of years what's wrong with it? Are there more inherent problems in the production of dog meat than 'traditional' meats?

Word.

Also, if you're going to sign this kind of petitions, you must be a complete vegan freak who eats nothing but the tips of grass blades so they can grow back (even though that might hurt too :schwitz. That or you're a massive hypocrite.

Of course, I'm for giving animals a good life, even if their purpose is to be eaten in the end. But why worry about something that happens on the other side of the world, when the same or worse happens in your own country to chickens/pigs/cows/etc.

If you want to try and make a difference, try eating only meat from sources you know treated the animals well, let them run free, etc etc, preferably organic. It tastes better too. Just don't go around signing stupid worthless petitions.

Yay for not letting facts (or in this case what the old troll actually said) get in the way of a good story!

Is that any surprise to you Chris?

Following the new Toyota IQ/Aston Martin, AMR decided to use converted Reliant Robins painted in Gulf colours as their LMP1 entry for the next LMS race, in Portimão.

Yeah, you're just crazy

Quote from AtomAnt :

Now Now, Did you know JESUS and GOD have the same middle name?

It's in the LORDS prayer,

Our Father, who art in heaven,

Howard be thy name.


Jesus H Christ...the "H" is for Howard

Genius

Happy birthday n1r!

I wish people would stop talking about patches and development speed, and talk about what the point of this thread was since the beginning. Communication (or lack of it). I remember a recent post by Scawen saying they didn't give us updates on what they're working on, because of a vocal minority of moaners. By not giving us anything to look forward too, this is making many many people lose interest in LFS, so basicly, because a minority moans, the majority loses one of the major ways to keep interest? Nice.

I couldn't care less about Sciroccos, etc, etc, what I do care about is knowing that LFS is alive, that things are being worked on, and preferably what is being worked on, even if some of those things will never even be released. That's what keeps people in LFS, and attracts new people.

I really hope the devs listen to this "plea"...

If the only source is that newspaper, you better take it with a mountain of grains of salt.

Hehe I know, they also says Vettel will drive for Ferrari in 2011 :P

Ubiquity is a very cool extension too, quite handy.

Quote :

Fernando Alonso will be officially announced as the Ferrari driver between 2010 and 2014 in the Italian GP (Monza), the Sept. 11, according to Spanish newspaper, "AS". In the early reporting is not what the current drivers, Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa , miss the place, since both have valid contracts for 2010, but speculated that the team from Maranello will not have to pay high compensation in any case.

Quoting this for better visibility, as it hits the nail on the head really:

Quote from jasonmatthews :

I am not complaining at all regarding the development speed of LFS. My gripe is with the lack of information regarding it's progress, which I believe has had a negative affect on the community. I totally understand Scawen's reasoning, which he has stated quite clearly, but I urge him to reconsider his view. It seems to me that he has changed the way LFS works fundamentally, to please the wrong people....

I came into playing LFS quite late (4 years ago), but was lucky enough to witness it's evolution from the very beginning (2002), due to my brother and mates. What I saw was a sim developing with the community involved, and it seemed like a new way of doing things. That, in the last year, has been totally dumped in favour of a big game company approach, i.e. we will tell you about what we have done when it's done.

This has, in my opinion, had a tragic effect on the core followers of the LFS "project". The old skoolers who care so much about LFS and have avidly followed it's progress for the last 7 years, are now left with nothing but noobs, cruise servers and drifters posts, and moans about the Shicokko... I would bet a million dollars (if I had it) that most of the old community, who have been around for at least 3 years or so, couldn't give a flying f**k about the scirocco, but care deeply about what Scawen "wants" to do in the future.

This used to be the way LFS worked, but not anymore it seems....

The forum community, as it is now, needs to understand where the thousands of us, who have been around for a long time, are coming from. Show some respect to the Devs and also to the people (hosts, mods, programmers etc) who have made this sim what it is. If you do.... Maybe, just maybe, the Devs will give us back the LFS Project that we all have supported for so long, and stop listening to the pathetic whining little kids that have infected our sim

How can you NOT like Rick Astley?

Why?

A bit of a morbid rickroll?

I just wanna add my thanks for the spoiler, after I finally managed to watch the race...

It has a chicane too

indeed... Poor Austbong has seen 2 teams collapse now

Mountainbiking (cross country endurance event thingies etc) and tennis.

I was just saying to Gerdoner how good the DTM was today
