I'm not usually a fan of car photos but I really like this one and I'd clone the guy behind the car out :/

Quote from flymike91 :

I dont pray and I am not trying to invoke Christianity at all! I only care about space and the capability of our advanced secular society to go there because I feel it is important. Stop trying to make this about Christians, I don't understand why you keep going there other than a convenient diversion.

I like how you understood exactly what I said and stopped acting stupidly. Thanks! Your dialogue skills are so high, it's such a fun and very interesting to talk to you. You always listen to what other people tell you, you can admit your own faults and you can share interesting informations. The best is when someone tells you something opposite of your believes, you don't ignore them but instead you really listen to them and try to explain why is other person right/wrong. It was good watch you posting, keep it up dude. I can abandon this thread peacefully.

Of course a communist news source would look down at religion.

I must say the London attacker was right in some things, but killing soldiers in the streets is not the solution.

I'm always going to remember "rich, flavourful culture" when I see this.


*edit: Finishing this video brought me to tears. No one in the world deserves to live under Islam. Most of these attacks are in Pakistan. What makes you think many men capable of committing these acts have not immigrated to or been born in your country, your neighborhood, seeing your daughters and wives doing things and dressing in ways they would murder or disfigure their own for? Can the word "racism" protect all of this from judgement?

According to this, no one in the world deserves to live under Christianity. Basing your opinions on one single case leads to stupidity and blindness. You're only proving that you can't even distinguish between extremism and ordinary people. I too can pick few extreme cases from every corner of the worlds, from every religion there is and say "Hey, there is a case these people did this. They are so stupid and let's hate them all".

Either you're just bored and trolling or you're really as close minded as you present to be.

When I was in UK 3 years ago, my train to Liverpool was canceled so the company paid me a taxi from Manchester to Liverpool. The taxi driver was a Muslim, probably in his 40s. It was a long drive so we talked a lot on this topic of religion, Muslims, living in EU, etc. One of the best discusions I've had. The guy was very smart and explained me a lot.

My girlfriend works in International Organization for Migration. They work a lot with immigrants from Africa or Middle east, who are on the way to USA/Canada, but they must spend some time in camps in Slovakia in order to get proper medical examination, some schooling, etc.
Many times, when these people arrive to the airport, people point their fingers on them, ask police officers (they must be present) and IOM stuff why are these people here and wether they will stay in our country. They also must somehow let everyone from the group know that they "don't need these ****** faces and ****ing Arabs in their country".
I imagine these people as one of the first, who, in sign of any extreme conflict in their country, would fly abroad.

One of the key of EU politics is multiculturalism. They wish EU to be better place to live for everyone, not just Europeans. It's very good wish and I wish this too. But we can see it doesn't work. Every action makes reaction and so we have racism on both sides, but actually government is afraid to call racism when foreigners do it.

After opening borders in UK, Germany, you can see how many immigrants they have. But not only from Islamic countries. Everyone knows there are also many slavic people in UK and you see Polski sklep in every decent town. That's why in Ireland it doesn't matter if you're Polish, Czech or Slovak, just speak your language and you get beaten on the street (of course it's just example, but it happens), because we're all Polish now. Who's fault is it? Polish? or Irish? EU's?

When I hitchhiked from Albania back home, I was crossing Serbian-Hungarian borders on foot. It was end of summer and I was surprised by massive traffic jam in front of borders. I wasn't use to it anymore (for those who don't know - these borders are enter zone to EU as Serbia is not part of Shengen zone), the traffic was maybe 2km long. All those cars (or maybe 90%) had German plate. Most of the cars were also SUVs - BMWs, Mercedes. All of these German cars were full of Arab / Turkish people. After they crossed the borders, they stopped at parking lot, laied their carpets on the ground, danced, smoked shisha, ate. Maybe Germans then can explain what it's like living with them.

In my country there's huge problem with gypsies. They don't go to school, they don't work and government spends millions of € to build them new houses every few months. There's no case a Slovak family would get a new apartment so cheap / for free. And they do it because they don't want to be called racists by EU.

I hate it when people generalize and they call all Muslims terrorists. Not just Muslims, all Arabs. Some people also hate when Arab women wear their heir covered under scarf. Also local people laugh at it and they forget that it was also custom in all Slavic countries - women after they got married covered their hair. They just don't do it anymore because it's not "western" enough, but you just go to nearest village and meet any older woman - they all wear scarves. People slowly - in all EU forget their national traditions and customs. They only save their Christmas dinner. I'm not saying I'm somehow different, but I'd prefer to keep in mind how did our ancestors live before us.

These people also never met any Muslims, they just watch TV / read newspaper and always see the combination of words "Muslim" + "terrorist attack". I must say, somehow it's also Muslim's fault. I'm 100% sure not all of them are terrorist. In fact, I'm sure a fraction of 1% is the bad one, just like in any other nation in the world. But it's always them who present their religion in this way. So they can't be surprised people now will dislike them. After that, their chance of integration in EU will be almost zero. There's some kind of hidden racism in everyone. When these immigrants will look for a job and employer will have to choose from 2 guys of same qualities, but one is native and other foreigner - the native wins. I must agree, these people don't enrich our culture in any way. People are not interested in this.

I was on few IOM parties, where immigrants meet and make their local meals, present their countries...it's very interesting and the food is delicious of course, but there are maybe 30 people altogether. No one's interested in "****** faces" and "****ing Arabs". That's why no one knows what they're like in real. EU can try as much as they want, but it will not work. Most probably never. In these conditions, where Muslims demand Belgium to become Islamic country and this happens in UK https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10201412851066921 , immigrants will never be safe and natives will hate them. Keep in mind - things you see and you read about are presented as "Arabs want this..." "Muslims do this..." - but it's just very tiny minority of the minorities.

Quote from Bean0 :

I see, thanks. I hope it's legit. I was actually surprised by the guy - he was black and spoke with british accent - I wouldn't say he was born Muslim (but I tried not to be that guy judging by the looks)

EU's multicultural dream obviously won't come true.

they are ignorant, violent, Christian raised British thugs

Wait, what? Can you give source on this? I haven't read British newspaper, just saw the youtube video and read local news which said attackers were Muslims.

Quote from JazzOn :

if Scawen releases his equation for a tyre simulation, can't other devs get teh idea and put it into their profitable product? Maybe Scawen actual just waits for the right time...

The formula itself doesn't have to be published. You can publish just the information needed to have picture about what is going on inside.

For example "I've divided a tyre to X smaller parts and the CPU computes pressure/temperature for those parts Y times a second." These stuff will become public anyway as the game arrives (if not publicly, someone will find out anyway) so it's not a secret.

Information like this is just so general, no one can actually profit from it I think. But it doesn't even have to be specific like this. For example I really liked blogs by Patrick Wyatt about Starcraft development

http://www.codeofhonor.com/blog/whose-bug-is-this-anyway

Even when this blog would be released in time of development, no harm would be done (except the internal Blizzard structure parts). If devs would be able to provide at least articles like this - what interesting happend during development process / what was just fixed - the stuff people don't see everyday - it would be great sign something is really going on.

Quote from Macfox :

Establish if all the devs on the same page. Get some feedback (survey) from the community (past and present players) and demonstrate they are serious about the future of this game and want it to be a viable prospect to support their lives/families/aspirations.

Not going to happen. They won't tell you anything about development, god knows why. One of the worst approraches I've ever seen from dev towards -customers-.

They just repeat "we are working on it" and that's all. They can't accept that people are really interested in what is going on, also when you add how people perceive developers - how much respect they got for them, just because they're bringers of their game, they would gain so much from periodically revealing just tiny bits of development of new physics/content. A blog/forum post once a month would be so great for everyone - players would see that devs are really working on something and they have something more to look forward. Many people are interested not only to new tracks/cars - what will they look like / specs, etc. but also what is physics development like - what does it require, what kind of simulation is it - there are many other developers/programmers who are really interested in these things.

But they chose to be quiet, let their customers to forget their game and hope to resurrect after 5 years with maybe new website, maybe new tracks, the new car and new physics. Well, good luck with that. They somehow forgot they don't only need to bring back their players, they also need to GET NEW because old players won't buy licenses twice

On Spartacus: I also finished S3 few days ago. The historical inaccuracy is just ridiculous. But I must say it seems it's still more accurate than original film from 1960.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

What happend here?

Why does CPU render cars? I don't understand.

Quote from Bluebird B B :

The number of cars in view has the biggest impact on FPS in lfs. It doesn't matter whether the cars are in your mirrors or in front of you.

Like I said - it does matter.
25 cars on track + 24 in front of me = 40FPS
25 cars on track + 0 in front of me = million FPS

which clearly seems like graphics issue. But ok, I'll check the CPU next time how it's going.

Ok, but what are you trying to say? That my CPU is too weak for LFS? LFS was introduced long before my CPU. Also, nothing in LFS changed so dramatically that would impact CPU's performance over last 5 years. I bought my computer in 2009 and LFS is still the same - still same low performance.

Also I don't understand one thing - why is it the performance is poor when I see more cars and it doesn't matter how many cars are in race? If it's CPU related, does it mean LFS computes other car's physics only when the cars are visible? As the number of -visible- cars rises, the FPS drop significantly. If the physics of all cars is computed all the time regardless of cars visible, I can't explain the FPS drop otherwise than GPU-related.

IMHO LFS is very badly optimized. It's running on old Direct X, the graphics are far from advanced/current standard and still while looking at 20+ cars in front of me I'm lucky to get over 40FPS. (alone it's always 60fps with vsync).

I also have HD7850 OC, Q9400 and 6GB ram (Win 7 x64)
