US needs to stay the f* out of other countries.

No offense to any Americans here, but i dont like ur government and its 'quiet' way of gaining influence/power all over the world.

The US has 28,000 troops stationed in South Korea, they have been there as a bodyguard since the end of the Korean War. Do you really want the South to be just like the North?

lol

Agreed.

Comment from a digger in Seoul:

*****'s getting serious here in Seoul. For the first time I have a backpack with supplies and my passport in case war breaks out.
Many Koreans are in real fear of it for the first time in their lives.

Neither side wants to back down on this. The South has proof, and the North claims it's a lie and will go to war over it. Kim Jeong Il is dying and might be looking at his last hurrah while he's still alive and the North still have the military power to go out with a bang.

Everyone time I hear someone not from here talk, I want to slap them. The North has tunnels into Seoul that could deliver tends of thousands of troops within an hour. This is not wild speculation, this is a fact. A few of the tunnels have been discovered by pure luck.

***** could get scary here in the blink of an eye. It's just a matter of when, and there have been so many cries of "wolf", that no one will believe it until it's going full force.

NKorea severs all ties with rival SKorea

By HYUNG-JIN KIM
Associated Press Writer

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- North Korea declared Tuesday that it would sever all communication and relations with Seoul as punishment for blaming the North for the sinking of a South Korean warship two months ago.

North Korea also announced it would expel all South Korean government officials working at a joint industrial park in the northern border town of Kaesong, the official Korean Central News Agency said in a dispatch monitored in Seoul late Tuesday.

Tensions were rising on the divided Korean peninsula in the wake of an investigation report blaming North Korea for a torpedo attack that sank the Cheonan warship on March 26, killing 46 South Korean sailors.

South Korea's military restarted psychological warfare operations - including blaring radio broadcasts into the North and placing loudspeakers at the border to blast out propaganda - to punish the North for the provocation. The South is also slashing trade and denying permission to North Korean cargo ships to pass through South Korean waters.

North Korea struck back by declaring it would cut all ties with the South until President Lee Myung-bak leaves office in early 2013. South Korean ships and airliners will be banned from passing through its territory and the North will start "all-out counterattacks" against the South's psychological warfare, the North's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification said in a statement carried by KCNA.

The North's committee called the moves "the first phase" of punitive measures against South Korea, suggesting more action could follow.

South Korea's Unification Ministry said it had no immediate comment on the North Korean statement. However, spokeswoman Lee Jong-joo noted the statement referred only to eight South Korean officials staying at the Kaesong complex, not some 800 South Korean company managers and workers.

Yonhap news agency said that suggested the North had no intention of completely shutting down the Kaesong park, as South Korea also decided to keep the complex intact.

Earlier, one Seoul-based monitoring agency reported that North Korea's leader ordered its 1.2 million-member military to get ready for combat. South Korean officials could not immediately confirm the report.

The North flatly denies involvement in the sinking of the Cheonan, one of the South's worst military disasters since the 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice, and has warned that retaliation would mean war. It has threatened to destroy any propaganda facilities installed at the heavily militarized border.

A team of international investigators, however, concluded last week that a torpedo from a North Korean submarine tore apart the Cheonan.

North Korea is already subject to various U.N.-backed sanctions following earlier nuclear and missile tests, and the steps announced by Seoul were seen as among the strongest it could take short of military action.

The U.S. has thrown its full support behind South Korea's moves and they are planning two major military exercises off the Korean peninsula in a display of force intended to deter future aggression by North Korea, the White House said. The U.S. has 28,500 troops in South Korea.

South Korea also wants to bring North Korea before the U.N. Security Council over the sinking. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Monday he expects the council to take action against North Korea, but China - North Korea's main ally and a veto-wielding council member - has so far done little but urge calm on all sides.

In Beijing, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said she had "very productive and very detailed" discussions with Chinese officials but could not say if any progress had been made in convincing the Chinese to back U.N. action.

"No one is more concerned about peace and stability in this region as the Chinese," she told reporters. "We know this is a shared responsibility, and in the days ahead we will work with the international community and our Chinese colleagues to fashion an effective, appropriate response."

Chinese State Counselor Dai Bingguo, speaking at a news conference with Clinton, called for "relevant parties" to "calmly and properly handle the issue and avoid escalation of tension."

As part of its propaganda offensive, South Korea's military resumed radio broadcasts airing Western music, news and comparisons between the South and North Korean political and economic situation late Monday, according to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The military also planned to launch propaganda leaflets by balloon and other methods on Tuesday night to inform North Koreans about the ship sinking.

In coming weeks, South Korea also will install dozens of loudspeakers and towering electronic billboards along the heavily armed land border to send messages urging communist soldiers to defect to the South.

On Tuesday, North Korean state media cited the powerful National Defense Commission as saying the North's soldiers and reservists were bracing to launch a "sacred war" against South Korea.

The North's military also claimed Tuesday that dozens of South Korean navy ships violated the countries' disputed western sea border earlier this month and threatened to take "practical" military measures in response.

North Korea often issues fiery rhetoric and regularly vows to wage war against South Korea and the U.S. It put its army on high alert following a November sea battle with South Korea near where the Cheonan went down in March. The Koreas also fought bloody maritime skirmishes in the disputed area in 1999 and 2002.

Seoul-based North Korea Intellectuals Solidarity said Tuesday that North Korean leader Kim Jong Il last week ordered his military to get ready for combat.

The group, citing unidentified sources in North Korea, said the order was read by Gen. O Kuk Ryol, a Kim confidant, and broadcast on speakers installed in each house and at major public sites throughout the country last Thursday, hours after the multinational report blaming North Korea for the sinking was issued in Seoul.

The South Korean military said it had no indication of unusual activity by North Korea's military.

What do you guys think may happen? This seems to be the most serious of threats from the North in a long time.

Old PC completely fried because of a power surge and a crappy surge protector. My HDD's survived though. I have a new set of PC parts coming in the next day or two, specs are:
CPU: Intel Core i5 750 (Might overclock this a bit)
RAM: 4GB G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 1600
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-P55-USB3 (Yes, it has 2 USB 3.0 ports)
GPU: Gigabyte 5850 1GB
PSU: OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W Modular
HDD's: 1TB WD Caviar, 320GB Seagate Barracuda
Case: Cooler Master Storm Scout

And the case fans I ordered happen to be hot pink instead of the orange I ordered. At least the blood red LED's in them will drown out the pink

Quote from lizardfolk :

NASCAR's too fricking soft when it comes to this...and yet they gave Tony Stewart a penalty for "aggressive driving" when he came down on Bowyer some years ago?

You dont intentionally take out someone by being in front then coming down on the person's nose...

NASCAR...stop acting like FIA and start holding your own ground...

Didn't Keselowski not receive a single penalty for any of his incidents? I'm not sure, haven't seen anything about him getting penalised.

Well, I kinda saw this one coming. #48 wrecked on lap 2.

Pre-ordered this, and I can tell from the demo that it's gonna be worth every penny. I can't wait to play Realism mode.

Quote from wheel4hummer :

Not to nitpick, but I just noticed that there's no rear numberplate lights.

Not really relevant, since the lights don't actually illuminate anything yet.

I won this race

Quote from BlakjeKaas :

It would look like normal pong then.

Edit: it seems that it's an DMG file.. How/what can I open it with? Why's it not just an .exe?

Apparently it's for Mac.

When are the results going to be up?

Quote from [SWE]RE :

Drive a few laps around the track, check how much fuel it takes for one lap. Take the time of an average lap and calculate how many laps you can drive for one stint, and then calculate how much fuel you will need. It's not hard really.

And if the tires go before the fuel does, adjust the fuel to last a bit longer than the tires.

He meant bespoke x in z????? OMG that was a B I G:bump:

1 day is not a big bump.

Damnit, i'm not going to be able to make the race today.

Quote from oldnavy :

was online today and had few good races. Long distances like 10 laps in So1 are ok but would be better to have litle bit shorter ones. Also dont say only with AX Tracks

btw: Why MRT needs 6 gear

It has an engine from a 6 speed motorcycle. That's why.

Quote from mutt107 :

on the layout the car barley turns unless your going around 15mph in the turns and if i get on the gas too early the car seems to slide alot i have no hope for finishing the race.. if i even get in the race.

Adjust the rear camber to where the force is equal across the whole tread, and you should have more rear grip coming out of a turn.
