Scawen has a point there, but also this kind of "statistic" is useful only for this timeframe (for example a year from now this data has only "historical" value). That kind of narrows the number '2' method out..

However, doesn't lfs-world hold (optional) date-of-birth -data? That could be used to view the age-structure...

But then again, what does it matter? Some are too young for irl driving license, some are way over the hill (and still not braking). This kind of age-of-players -representation tends to put an unnecessary label.

But heck, what do I know, I'm just a rookie and these "polls" don't bother me.

Gonna go driving now...

Quote from Shotglass :

pretty deep ... i guess the only way to creat a random number is to find a chaotic process whos chaotic nature is a direct cause of some quantumphysical event that has equiprobable outcomes ... apart from that i cant see any easy ways to create a truly redundancy free sequence

Krhmm... chaos isn't actually random. It just might be complex enough

Human is as good source of random as anything else, if the method of selecting numbers isn't known. But very true, this gets very easily "deep". Been studying it for couple of years now... Cyco me..illepall


Oh, one more thing about chaos. It's generally generated with mathematical functions so it's predictable kind of same way as any outcome from mathematical function with given input.

My moped:

Intel Celeron 2.5GHz (w/ 400MHz bus)
Abit BH-7
1*512 MB RAM (running at 233MHz, thanks to outdated processor )
Club3D ATi Radeon 9200
Two 120mm casefans to keep things cool
SB Live 5.1
W98SE
LG Flatron F700B
1M/512k ADSL
Epson keyboard (originally from a 386 )
MS SideWinder 2-button stick

7th year in U... keeps budget pretty low...

Well, I manage with 2,5GHz Celeron with disgustingly poor motherboard and 9200 budget-ati. Just tune graphics level if it bogs. But the again, I've been playing since 80's so I'm more into playability and contents than graphical looks. (It also builds patience and character Sure it's grand if lfs looks great, but what's (a way) more important is the feeling. Don't know if current configuration will cause lower fps with more than 8 racers, but so far no problems encountered..

26. Dethclock says I live to be 75, so I'm on my second section...
