zOMG :something
after this one I'll better refrain from posting for some time :wave2:
IMO Taken is beyond all considerations on acting, it's basically what a security guard will jerk off to, speaking with all respect due to all the sane guys who work as security guards.
Basically it has only two nice things in it, the first few sequences (Everything in its right place etc), and one quote which I won't tell you in case you decide to watch the movie.
Since there are at least two people claiming ALO is massively better than the remake, I will offer my contrasting opinion:
Vanilla Sky is better acted and photographed, while ALO is very low budget and besides deserving the credit for the story (which isn't exactly thrilling however if you've read your share of SF anyway), it's not a movie I'll ever consider watching a second time.
It's a classic, if you liked the mood be sure to check out Brazil by the same director.
I cannot honestly share your adversarial attitude, but indeed the quoted bit is a fair enough point.
The stats only show the aggregated numbers, and cruising&drifting servers are a sizeable part of the public online activity, like it or not.
The forums can be hardly regarded as PR, the 'average customer' doesn't usually dwell on the discussion boards. The people in here are a limited subset of the whole customer base.
And I totally +1 bbman's post.
Anytime you let someone new inside your team you're relinquishing a part of the creative control - even assuming the guy does the work for free e.g. community contributed mods.
And BTW once you accept a contribution, you're bound to have more people asking to see their creations featured in the game.
Same way you cook up the aero data of the Radical
Well only 9 cars made it to the finish line, vs 21 at the start
Well I can't say I'm happy, but at least in the 2nd race I managed to bring it home in not much more than 1 piece, that was my aim right from the start, as it always is
That would have been nice, my car flew out when someone decided it's fun to make a pileup on T1.
edit: watched the replay it was actually one of those physics hiccups, some cars in front of me had an accident and one was thrown backwards, my car in turn was slinged away.

Kaufman plays a lot with the concept of reality, its perception of it, how it shapes his characters' identity and memory. He's a bit Dickian in a way
His scripts can get a bit clunky sometimes and likely appeal brainy people more than 'emotional' types.Along the same lines be sure to check out Stranger than Fiction, different people but the general mood is not that far.
If you're interested watch the Director's Cut, it explains pretty much everything. All in all I'm the type of person who likes to be kept guessing rather than having a rather bland explanation delivered on a silver plate, so I could without the DC.
That's because the explanation behind DD is not that interesting. To make a comparison with a completely different film, i.e. 2001 A Space Odissey, that's one where I very much liked to read a down-to-earth (excuse the pun) explanation (which is found in AC Clarke's book) as I felt the film is a bit too cryptic for my taste. Kubrick surely did that on purpose, and it fits the underlying theme very well and cleverly too, but requires a great deal of effort on the spectator's part.
As far as I remember it, it's entirely on the noble savage idea, and it plays out as a more or less standard comedy. The visuals are interesting, the cast is certainly worthy, but as a whole it left me quite underwhelmed.
Another Gondry's movie that did not impress me one bit is Be Kind Rewind. I can discern the skills, the irony, the underlying message, but in the end it's more a divertissement than a movie.
Despite it not being my favorite, I regard Science of Sleep as far more interesting
I can't find the server in LFS world anyway
Guess we're going to race without the official numberplates, right?
@Veloci, you're basically missing out the whole underlying philosophy of Firefox, which is extensibility.
BTW I have used Opera years ago before Firefox was out, and tested it again recently. It has a lot of stuff that I don't need, and is missing a lot of things that Firefox has.
So I either use Firefox or Chrome.

If you like that check out the other movies written by Charlie Kaufman like Being John Malkovich and Adaptation.
As for the director, Gondry, his other films are a bit weird, for that reason you might not like em but they're worth checking out. E.g. The Science of Sleep.
Human Nature is a bit formulaic IMO, good for completists.
For my pedals I'm using an anti-skid mat intended for carpets. It works to a degree, i.e. if you use the clutch the pedal base will still slide around 
there's not enough weigh for the mat to work effectively.
I'll have to take the plunge and do some woodworking myself.

At a time I reached around 100, then I discovered Taboo.

Maybe my sarcasm detector is broken, but I thought both Vain and Lateralus were being ironic.
Amazing! It's basically as fast as the Frex. Would be nice to see a FFB test in action though.
LOLled at the gullwing-modded UF1, but otherwise the video lacks punch both in the script and the direction: there's a bunch of nice little ideas but they are just piled one over another, or better, they're just edited one after the other.
BTW why on the FZ5 the right side decals are mirrored (Body work..) ? maybe a subtle reference that I don't get?
Also I would it have been nice to see the headlights effect applied everywhere not just at the beginning. As a whole it feels a little rushed out to me.
I'd give it a 6.9/10

If, and I say if, LFS as a small enterprise has reached that bottleneck point where growth is impaired by the ineffectiveness of the underlying organization, there will come a time when the devs will have to choose between witnessing a constantly shrinking userbase that will eventually lead to the demise of the project, or change their organization in the way they always said they wouldn't.
Just to throw a wrench in the gears, there are at least a couple other options:
- LFS will be sold to a third party
- The current slow rate of S2 development is the result of them being working concurrently on S3
Really?
I get that kind of performance out of a 2.7GHz DC Opteron and a 6600GT. Guess the GPU counts even less than I expected Actually, it would be useful, I could turn drift=off and my server list would be more readable.
