Go watch some of Derren Brown's stuff. Not because he's a 'mind reader' or can use telepathy or anything, but because he's become so good at using the power of suggestion, and reading body language, that he can appear to have super natural powers.

Alonso loves to trash-talk his team. Didn't he also state that Renault didn't want him to win last season, because he was leaving?

By now I'm getting the feeling that Hamilton could get pole every race, win every race, set the fastest lap every race, win the championship ten times in a row and still (some) people wouldn't recognise that he is something special.

What an insane race! This cannot in any way be compared to the dull crap in Monaco. Glad Kubica is 'ok' (broken leg I heard on McLaren pitradio? Unconfirmed though)

Quote from J.B. :

Here's Hamilton's full pole lap from onboard. I wonder if he builds that turn-in oversteer into his setup on purpose? It looks fast.

That video is a perfect loop, just as impressive as the lap itself imo

I've found my new home! Thanks

WHERE ARE YOUR MAYAN GODS NOW!? :>

Second life is quite possibly the worst piece of software to do well in the history of software. It's laggy, it has a horribly clumsy UI, lag, horribly clumsy controls, lag and it lags like hell. Did I mention unplayable lag? (I don't mean a horrible framerate here, just the horrible netcode) Besides that, it's filled with mostly pedophiles, furries and grievers.

The idea is that you can do whatever you want, like in real life. That's why there are user-made tools in the 'game' which allow you to instacrash every server in your vicinity, or at the very least piss a couple of people off beyond reason.

Regardless of how cool and innovative it *looks*, it's still a big, expensive gimmick.

Sure, being able to put a camera down on a table and having the picture I just took pop up on the table, which I can then drag into my phone, which is also on the table - is a fantastic demonstration. Wouldn't be so cool if I happen to have 500 pictures on said camera, and only need to take one of those out.

Personally, I also absolutely despise having to slide my fingers (which have to be perfectly clean of course) around on a table. It just feels terrible to me, and cleaning the table of finger-smudges every day - only to smudge it again as soon as it's clean...? nah.

We'll see what happens in the future anyway.

Not one pass I think, what an interesting race...

Hmm, that sounds really counter-intuitive. I mean, when you turn your head to look right or left, you won't be looking at your monitor anymore..

I'd take an Aygo for the specific needs you've mentioned.
It's very cheap, (even new!) costs near-nothing to run, is great for city-driving, and regardless of where and how it is produced, it's still a Toyota, and should last you a long time.

Also, it's amazingly funky looking imo =)

Making a new poll sure is fun, by golly!

That's just one of these things. As has been mentioned the cost per skin isn't high at all.

To the people who are concerned with downloading a skin that they don't feel was worth their money, pick a few pennies up off the pavement... I'm sure you'll soon recover your `loses`.

Exactly. I've downloaded about 2000 skins in the time I've been playing LFS right now, and I have quite a bit of racing done by now - although it's not even close to the big guys of course ;p

One pound is pretty much what I spend on coffee every day at college, or a pack of cookies or whatever.

It's a (cheap) service, which is in support of the LFS community. Heck, I'd throw 5 pounds at it if it would help with the running costs of LFS!

I've gotten more fun out of this game than any other online game I've bought (which does not have a monthly fee) - by far.

Ladies and gentlemen...

The FIA has just released word on the future of F1:



+ Environmentally friendly!
+ Plenty of overtaking action!
+ Drivers now only need one input device: a single pedal for acceleration.
+ Incredible safety for everyone!
+ Top teams will have cars which are good enough for the drivers to hold their foot down 100% of the time - giving them plenty of time to take naps or do live-interviews whilst racing!

;p

I liked it, didn't show too much, but it seemed interesting enough.

Rated it 5 to compensate for 1-voters.

Can challenges be sorted out in PM's between the involved drivers, or is there an official system for it?

I really hope some lucky (well, I suppose motivated is a better term here ;p) demo racer gets through the test!

Please post the answers after someone wins though, I'm really interested to see the answers to some of the questions

Are you sure you downloaded them for the right car?

Why did I instantly read that as "pornography"?
