No probs. It was the least I could do for a fellow water polo player.

I made one a few years ago. I'll see if I can dig it up.


edit: never mind, it's a much older design.

The Swastika dates back to the Aryan empire, about 1500BC, though it is thought that it may be even older. It was adopted by Buddhists around 200AD and also by early Christians (in place of the cross) in the early centuries AD.

If you are using the adblock mod for FF, try removing it and then reinstall it again.

Hope this helps.

Quote from ProDemoDrifter :Ok this is what i've found

He's after eps format. eps files are scalable without quality loss which makes them very useful for skinning purposes, especially where stretching is concerned.

Quote from Ball Bearing Turbo :Well, you don't see mod with an ironic name ruin a debate everyday do you? That was interesting, I'll give it that.

Point me to where CB said he was in favour of carrying around an AK47? I must've missed that part. Does it really matter if crazed psycho puts 10 bullets in your head vs just one? Great logic.

I don't sit anywhere specific on this debate really, but calling people ****ing cowboys seems counterproductive at best, so I really don't care what you say in the debate - you've lost credibility.

Anything I can do to stop people from lying in order to propagate interest and acceptance of carrying weapons in public is fine by me. Credibility be dammed. Making up stories about national gun bans and trying to justify their arguments in such a way is only polluting the minds of others. I find such pro-gun propaganda offensive and I'm not afraid to express it.

If you can't see the difference between a simple handgun and an ak-47 then it is you who lacks logic.

Quote from Mazz4200 :oohh i think that's a bit harsh Gunn. From what i know of Cue-Ball he seems a decent bloke who just happens to have been brought up in a culture where gun ownership is a normal everyday part of life. And i guess he's just defending that "normality" with a bit of passion and gusto.

Being born and bred in the UK i don't necessarily agree with his point of view, but on the other hand, growing up watching John Wayne movies and running round the streets playing cowboys'un indians as a youngster i can understand this fascination with guns.

Even being "harsh" is unlikely to have any impact on his attitude towards guns. I call it as I see it, no apologies here.
America is a runaway train, I accept that there is no stopping it now, but until people begin to shift their attitudes towards each other it certainly won't be getting any better. A nation living in fear of itself is a time bomb.

Quote from Cue-Ball :Really? Where? I'm sure that the Brady Campaign would love to get ahold of the scientific data that you've got, because they've been trying to convince the American public of the effectiveness of gun bans for about 30 years and have been unable to do so.

Guns are effectively banned for the general public. Obtaining a gun is very difficult and expensive, and only very few models are allowed. And the gun ban has not proven effective at all. Armed assault, rape, and burglary all went up after the ban. In Sydney, handgun crime went up over 400% between 1995 and 2001. Don Weatherburn, the head of the Bureau of Crime Statistics said that there is no convincing evidence that gun laws have had any positive effect on crime.

Yeah right cowboy. You have no idea at all what it's like to live in a country like I live in and you can't possibly understand how good it is to know that psychos like you can't get their hands on automatic weapons and mow down a school full of innocent kids.

If you like to wear a gun in public it's because YOU are frightened and paranoid that your fellow citizens are going to shoot you down. We don't suffer from that problem here because guns are not readily available. Frightened and paranoid people who like to wear guns in public are a danger to me and my family. I see people like you as dangerous to society and people like you should be eradicated.
It's very easy to buy a small handgun here if you don't have a criminal record. Automatic, semi-automatic, and large caliber weapons are almost impossible to buy. This works well because they are the types of weapons that cause massive damage and multiple deaths in little time.

You can quote statistics till the cows come home but they mean little in the real world. If you take into account the rate of population growth and the evolution of a city like Sydney the current stats are not alarming at all. Crimes involving handguns don't necessarily equate to injuries or deaths. Violent crime stats don't just include incidents involving guns. Criminals who would have used higher-powered weapons in the past for robbery or other crimes but now only have access to small handguns would certainly affect the statistics.

Instead of making the problem worse you could better serve society by helping to make it better. Instead you make silly arguments in favour of arming everyone with powerful weapons. Your thinking is backwards and your attitude is anti-social and ultimately evil.

I'm glad that I have no need to carry or own a gun. I happen to be formidable opponent with a plastic bucket and I have a black belt in tricycle. If you come anywhere near me with a gun you'll find yourself lying in the gutter with a bucket over your head and three red stripes across your puny chest.

****ing cowboy.

You have misread the quote entirely and your example makes no sense.

At Bathurst, over the years, it was very common for the commentators to talk to the drivers during the action. They disrupted the flow of a driver's race many times. Sometimes drivers just ignore them and don't answer. Peter Brock used to talk to them almost every time, but that's how he was.

AFAIK the in-car commentaries were pioneered by Australia's Channel 7 in the 1970's, who also pioneered in-car camera technology now commonly used all around the world by networks covering motor racing.

Quote from lizardfolk :
I can tell a good majority of the LFS players dont wander around on the net LOL

They do, but they deliberately avoid the bowels of the Internet and many of them are not into role playing games, at least not since they were pimply teenage nerds.

Quote from Cue-Ball :Automobile accidents kill TENS OF THOUSANDS of people every year. If no one had cars, no one would die because of them. Do you want to be part of the problem or the solution?

Everything kills people. Even "harmless" items like bicycles and buckets. You have to offset the harm with the usefulness and good that any item causes. As I said earlier, defensive gun uses (ie: preservation of life) happens far, far more times than deaths due to gun uses.

Sure, but guns are designed to kill people, bicycles and buckets are not. If you replaced all of your guns with buckets you'd be heading in the right direction.

Gun control certainly does work, it is proven.

Quote from Cue-Ball :How about the similar nationwide gun ban in Australia?

Guns are not banned in Australia. Certain types of guns have been destroyed and it remains difficult or illegal to buy, sell or become licensed for those types of weapons. This has proven very effective.

Quote from 5haz :I dont think there is a mountain of complete rubbish, yes there are some rather poor tracks, but they have been specially categorised on some download sites such as GPL++.

GPL is NOT free, yes there is a 2004 demo available, but this only has one track, Watkins Glen and requires a full version for it to be installed onto in order to get the full game, i do not know of any other place where any 'full' version can be downloaded, I beleive a games company which i will not name still sells GPL, and i hear of many people on GPL forums who have recently bought.

Yes LFS is a much better sim all around and has more scope, sadly its scope is being limited by the fact that moding looks very unlikely to ever be allowed, which will kill it off just like N2003 was killed, and that had several fantastic mods in the making that ended up being cancelled due to a ban on modding.

Again i stress, modding can come after S3, just please introduce modding, i dont care when.

Joe

The 2004 demo is a full working game. Any tracks can be injected into it, including the freely available original tracks. A full working version is not required. I have an original version and without installing it I was able to simply drag and drop the content into the demo and it all works flawlessly.

MP3 players must me made illegal then. Sony, for example, makes devices capable of recording and storing music and movies. It's what the devices were designed for, yet they also own recording companies and also support suing people for putting recorded music and movies on the very devices that they designed specifically for that purpose!

There are three issues that are always thrown together: copying, sharing and piracy. Piracy involves profiting from a copy, sharing involves distribution of a copy and copying is simply making a copy.

If you buy a CD, back it up on a blank disc and use it in your car mp3 player you have not distributed not profited from the exercise. Unless the RIAA can prove that you distributed the copy (either for profit or for free) they are just being bullies. I have ripped all of my CDs to MP3 and I don't share or sell the copies.

If these recording companies want to say that a copy is illegal, they had better stop production of all recording or storage devices that are marketed for that purpose. No more MP3 players, no more hard disk DVD recorders, no more paid digital downloads of music and movies.

Quote from atlantian :if we have free moding we will not have to bother with loyaties and licences!!!

YOU might not have to bother about it, but the developers would. I suggest you search the many long-winded topics about modding so that you can be exposed to all of the aspects discussed previously. That will save you from asking the same questions that have been asked a thousand times already.
