ffs if driver does not notice she/he will be runned over, just saw an accident few weeks ago, when girl just ran out from nowhere to the walkway and got hit by a car, just because reaction time of a driver was too short to completely stop...driver was quilty as usual on these cases.

Yeah obviously if you're going to enforce it, you should plan for that possibility. Hence my backpack remark, never do this when you can't jump and dive.

You are required by law to allow people to cross the street. Now you've got insecure pedestrians waiting for the cars to stop; this is wrong! Pedestrians should FORCE drivers to stop. If everyone would follow this simple rule, traffic would be significantly smoother, the "movement-order-negotiation" that's happening so often is completely unnecessary.

Now what I do is take my wallet out prior to crossing the street, so I have something to throw at cars that don't slow down. So far I had to throw twice, in both cases the f*ckheads where on their phone and both were male btw.

Regarding the pass on the left, just write 'em up

Mind you, when I'm not loaded with my backpack, I usually ignore the cars completely and force all kinds of funky manouvers upon them. Law says you gotta approach a zebra crossing in a manner that allows stopping for people wanting to cross, end of story. Some call it a deathwish, I call it pedantic ignorance

Just like every other game, by the time I get a computer capable to run it, it will be old news and no one will be playing it...

My oldest daughter liked driving around on TDU offline. She isn't old enough to notice the horrid graphics of the severely dumbed down settings I had to run.

TDU1 is still very much alive, you're never alone if you don't want to be

Quote from logitekg25 :

for the second preview pic, what model bmw is that

I'd say it's a pre-1987 E30, probably a 325e.

The individual core temps are read via DTS inside each core, the CPU temp usually from a thermal diode sensor on the motherboard, next to or below the CPU.

Quote from AudiBG :

kawaii!

Feffe if the temps in your sig are correct, why wait for water?

I assumed you were running a dedicated server for this, but it should work for the client integrated one as well, simply using it as command. Create the welcome.txt, start the host and type /welcome=welcome.txt

In your server's setup.cfg, find:
Uncomment (i.e remove one slash, but only from the //welcome) the file path and create a file named welcome.txt, fill it with up to 200 characters.

5.2.6, 5.2.9, 5.2.12, 5.3.1.
5.2.9 being the one used primarily for LFS related webstuff.

Speaking about plastic. Haha. Have you seen the G25/G27 in real life? Only Brushed alu is the center and flippy pedals, who cares about that, I mean the INSIDE, the stuff it's built with.
The Porsche aint plastic, and atleast not hideous black matte with cogwheels.

Oh, and not Anti logitech, just their 'wheels'.

I own a G25, I see it everyday. I see the insides every 6 to 8 months when I clean and grease it. While driving, the wheel is all you see, so that's ALL you care about. Regarding gearing vs. belt, that's a matter of personal preference and environment (noise). Fanatec's new Carrera wheel has (spur?) gears btw.

Quote from shiny_red_cobra :

If you want to overclock you have to increase the FSB from 333 MHz to 400 MHz to get 3.6GHz. I've done it easily on my E8400. But as soon as you overclock, the BIOS disables SpeedStep, so it doesn't go into low power mode when it's idle, it continuously runs at 3.6 GHz, which I personally don't like since my computer is idle most of the time.

I take it you're talking about this particular board, my P5Q Dlx leaves the choice to me. I'm running my Q9450 stable at 440x8 with EIST and C1E enabled

Blindly increasing the voltage won't do any good, what you'd really need to do is adjust the GTLref, which unfortunately doesn't seem to be adjustable with this board. The gist of this whole thing is that certain voltage/clock combinations result in different wave propagation times and the resulting ringback might cause a configuration to malfunction that should work in theory. As a result, you must find a voltage that satisfies the CPUs power requirements without causing clock signal irregularities.

To dumb it down: Sometimes lower voltage or higher clock is more stable than what appears to be a reasonable compromise. To provide a hands-on example:
My Q9450 runs fine at 470x8 at 1.32v and a termination voltage of 1.22v (can't remember GTLref), but not at 450x8 with the same voltages or any lower ones. Ultimately I had to settle for 440x8 because while it primed perfectly stable for 18 hours at 470, it also reached 72°, which it could endure but I don't want to torture it for a practically insignificant performance boost.

Quote from Bose321 :

I also did that, but that's just because I looked at it when you started about it.

Your irrational anti-Logitech crusade is starting to piss me off. I'd stay well clear of the subject of design when all you've got to show is a hideous, plastic covered Porsche wheel up against gorgeous brushed aluminium

It's obviously a Mustardo, or a Gallastang. Either way it's the worst VOB mod ever

Quote from freddyalek90 :

Well, earplugs ARE headphones.

Then, if I have to listen to something while being on the train etc, I use the earplugs. If I want quality I come home and fire up the Hi-Fi.

BTW, if you listen to MP3 files, it doesn't matter with what you listen to your music, it will have bad quality.

Apart from the fact that earbuds generally sound terrible, they're also terribly uncomfortable to wear and more likely to cause hearing loss than proper headphones. Obviously a studio headphone or some other high-impedance ones aren't suitable for mobile devices, as such lack the amp to power the headphones, but that doesn't mean there's no difference between portable headphones.

Regarding mp3, I'm fairly confident you couldn't tell a high bitrate mp3 from its uncompressed equivalent on comparatively low-fi mobile devices, including the iPhone, regardless of the headphones used. Sure, being lossy, it will definitely introduce artifacts even at high bitrates, but they're generally inaudible in ideal listening conditions and definitely inaudible in noisy environments.

Anyway, I don't have have any real interest in continuing this conversation

I know of NO phone that comes with headphones, if anything, they come with earplugs. Everyone with even a modicum of sense knows where they go, here's a tip:

Nice spirit morpha.

I'm merely stating the facts, kamkor's steering lock modded dedi exe is not publically available, but everyone is free to modify it themselves. Quite frankly I can't see the point of having a steering lock modded demo server, the XRG is nowhere near powerful enough to make use of it

He doesn't have to ask anyone for permission to use it, if he can figure out how to do it he can use it as he pleases. If he can't figure it out, tough

Eh, first of all, I don't know whether the FreeRunner is offered in the states, but it looks freaking hideous. And, it's OS looks like shit.

The phone doesn't look particularly good, I agree, but the OS? The whole point is that you can, in theory, run any GNU/Linux distribution on it, or any other operating system if you have access to its source to port it. It's 100% customizable if you know what you're doing, not only the software but also the hardware to some degree.

but ...

it would possibly survive being dropped in a pool.

I haz proofs

I dropped one of my older phones (Sony Ericsson T300) in the bathtub... twice, it survived both times, so I can believe this is generally possible. You do not have proof though as there is no evidence to suggest that the video was in fact taken with an iPhone.

If I want customizability, I go for the Neo FreeRunner and not a jailbroken iPhone. Personally I wouldn't trade my trusty old 6230i for an iPhone, because the iPhone wouldn't survive a 6 metre fall onto solid rock and the battery would most certainly not last a week of average use (certainly not after years in which it had undergone many sub-optimal charge cycles).

I'm usually fairly open minded when it comes to technology, but Apple just ticks me off. I've got an Amiga 500, a C64, I had several Zenith shitboxes, but I never wanted an Apple II despite the fact that it was actually a good computer... Ok, that's a lie, but it'd be the only device with the Apple badge I'd allow in the house and I wouldn't pay for it

Quote from Trev084 :

No, What I hate is newer members that throw an idea back at you because they think it is crap, Not once did I see a post in my topic from an admin or the writers of the system, I just love how regular members can make up the minds of a game developer and then say that I am a noob because my profile has under 300 miles on it, Obviously that profiling has only been introduced in the past 2 years but quote me if I am wrong.

Your join date is no indicator for experience with the product, it's there whether you race or not, in fact it even keeps being there if you cease to exist because it's rather unlikely for someone to report you dead to admins/moderators of an internet platform. Mileage and racing statistics, on the other hand, provide detailed information about the licence useage. That doesn't necessarily mean the person who initially bought the licence was the one using it, but since sharing your account information is a violation of LFS's EULA (although the wording is a bit dodgy), it's a fairly safe bet.

I've got a nice collection of old LFS versions, patches and dedicated server versions. I've been hosting servers before I even bought my licence, I wrote several InSim applications plus a couple of OutGauge and OutSim apps or apps related to either of these things (such as the OGRelay)... I could go on, but before I do, let's have your noob-bashing LFS achievements and contributions please.
