Cuba. Not English speaking but a wonderful place to be and you will get by just with English.

Quote from LFSn00b :

Would you put babies on a leash and put them outside?
Guessed so.

Putting dogs on a chain and leaving them outside until they die is animal abuse. Leaving dogs on a chain for some time in case needed is not animal abuse. Leaving a baby home is abuse, because they are not able to take care of themselves. Leaving children (say, 10+) home is not child abuse because they are able to take care of themselves.

Shamefully abusing animals is considered normal by a lot of people, abusing babies is not considered normal by 99,9% of people, and putting babies on a leash is considered abnormal by so much people that the percentage could just as well be 100. That is the reason why dogs are leashed and children are not.

Now I'd like to use a swear word because it took me half an hour to write this post.

Dog for me.

Cats are cute, I'll give you that but for everything else, a dog is best.

A dog is your friend, you are a cat's friend.

Quote from george_tsiros :

a dog is a slave. a cat takes no shit.

"trained dog"

great job, you made a slave out of a companion.

Are children slaves of their parents too?

I wonder what dirt will be like. Right now it affects the whole tire which is somewhat not nice. I hope it will be more dynamic.

Quote from VoiD :

Werner Herzog´s - My best fiend

Klaus Kinski at his best: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yITx7txr-7M&fmt=22 ...some "outtakes" from Fitzcarraldo

Ahh, Herzog plus Kinski are probably the maddest duo in the world.

Kinski being a person who doesn't act - he just is himself and Herzog just being a mad genius. Brilliant movies though.

I went for the G25 . It is more than two times cheaper anyway so it was easy to 'justify' buying it.

Going to arrive any day now..

Quote from Scott Mckenzie :

Well I have looked on LFS.net this morning.

these are the options for purchasing for a different account.

If you want to buy LFS for someone else : (1)
Buy S1 voucher £ 12
Buy S1 -> S2 upgrade voucher £ 12
Buy S2 voucher £ 24

I want to know which one I use out of the above.

If you already have S2, all these vouchers will just add funds to your account, so there's no difference between the S1 voucher and the S1 -> S2 voucher. Actually i'm pretty sure they just add funds to your account even if you don't have a license but I'm not so sure about that.

I'm really afraid that some problem will occur that will take a long time and a lot of effort to repair. I have a Hotas Cougar joystick which was supposed to be one of the best in the class but in reality it has tons of imperfections and factory mistakes, that's why I am afraid.

A lot of the fanatec wheels seem to have some mistakes, which is understandable looking at their number of manufactured wheels compared to logitech.

Such a hard choice..

Just remembered another thing, does the fact that it's more of a arcade wheel (NFS, Forza, it's a Porsche wheel after all!)show in any way?

I was just looking around for a wheel and though there is a huge topic on the Turbo wheel there is no good information on the GT3 RS. I understand some people have got this already.

Anyway, I'm looking to get a wheel and I haven't had one since my red Momo broke few years ago. These two have stayed on the list for me. The GT3 seems to be the better wheel but what I'm afraid of is what happens if it breaks - I know logitech will replace their stuff but Fanatec is a much smaller company.

Anyway, in the logn run, which wheel will, firstly, last longer, secondly, be simply better and thirdly if it breaks be repairable. Maybe it the best idea would be to just get some cheaper wheel


Another thing I was wondering is how good it is to drive a single seater with one of these large wheels, would a smaller wheel be better.

To pull a hamilton : crash on the final lap from the third position.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Maybe the driver could get out and push.

Then Scawen just needs to program it so that you take a few moments to undo the seat belts and get out, a few moments to push, a few moments to get back in, a few minutes whilst the seatbelts are done up, before selecting first and discovering you didn't push it back far enough...?

Sounds like the classic Le Mans start. Maybe there could be a feature to fasten your seatbelt while driving. I take it you made a mistake when you said minutes to do the seatbelts.

How I hate all you Brits..

Today I have to say they're bad. Their music is superb compared to a lot of stuff that has been made, but they are still... too simple and unoriginal.

I still like them though, just got a McCartney 2009 live DVD.

The #1 thing I want right now is unforgivable crashes. I don't care about the exact details why your car can't move etc. If you hit the wall, in real life it is very likely you won't be able to continue the race and it doesn't make any difference if it's something with the engines, chassis, drive train, whatever. This would make racing so much more realistic.

Quote from mcintyrej :

Bugger your doing a half marathon. I was too busy calculating things that I misread that, and thought you were doing a full one! Was wondering why all the guesses were so slow.

Oh well - I probably won't win but don't take it to heart that I guessed a much longer time than nearly everyone else!

You thought he was going to do 42 kms 3 hours when his 10 km record was one hour? Wow.

We have faith in you Dan

2 Hours 10 Minutes and 37 seconds

It would have to be really controlled, one idea would be paying for it, but that doesn't fit with LFS.

On the other hand it would require a major rewrite, as an user wouldn't be linked to a single name, that means unique IDs for everyone plus changes in everything. So umm.. +0,5

Quote from amp88 :

Changeling?

Haven't seen it yet, but you reminded me that Letters from Iwo Jima was pretty good. And so was Million Dollar Baby. There are some good movies, but very few you watch and can say 'a classic'. But maybe I can look back in 40 years and say they used to make good films then .

Back on topic, I suggest everyone who likes good movies to start buying Criterion. Every last release from them. Have gotten no disappointments yet myself.

Last masterpiece I saw was Stage Fright, which got me thinking Hitchcock is underrated. He was seriously censored by Hollywood and could have made so much more..

Quote from The Moose :

I don't know why not...if they can read then what's the problem? Its a sad state of affairs when people wont watch a movie because it has subs... they are missing out on so many films that are far better than the most of the crap Hollywood churns out.

It's the sad truth. I always have a smile on my face when someone who hasn't seen a lot of movies watches an old classic and says 'that was pretty good' .
Now I can't think of any seriously good movie that has come out of hollywood lately.

First time ever I'm supporting Ferrari.

Badoer for the WIN!

Quote from The Moose :

Can anyone name one Hollywood remake of a far eastern movie that was better than the original? I cant think of one. Why do they bother?

Do you think a normal person will watch a movie that is in a FOREIGN language (omg subtitles) and doesn't include Brad Pitt or Steven Spielberg? Hah. Look at the Oscars - they've got a 'Best Foreign Film Award'.

Back on topic, the first two parts of Tin Man the TV Miniseries are pretty good. Skip the finale though and make up an end yourself.

Quote from Sponge :
