I'll not only recommend some - I'll give you a few films to watch:
"The Weather Underground"
Watched this the other night and its an extraordinary documentary: evocative without being sentimental, and honest without being either overly sympathetic or judgemental. Fascinating.
Le Sang Des Betes
Another documentary that really shows how poetic the form could be or should be. (search around on youtube and you'll find a dubbed version with an english translation).
Both these films treat their audience as intelligent, emotional, and social animals and show present Hollywood product for the repetitive, and ultimately oppressive garbage that it is.
Donnie Darko is definitely second class in this company, but I agree, its a good film. Have you seen Pi? Directed by Darren Aronofsky, its got the same kind of independent feel as Donnie Darko (his "Requiem for a Dream", however is overstylised and incredibly tedious...)
A combination of trail braking and an oversteery setup means you can reduce the amount of input needed from the steering wheel. When you get it right, the brakes and accelerator become the devices you use to aim the car, and the steering wheel is used only to correct those inputs.
You are confusing evolution with 'progress' - and you appear to be idealising the notion of progress as a path of infinite length, every step along which is 'better'.
No. No one has forgotten that money buys stuff. (EDIT: except the LFS team, who are continually (mis?)quoted as saying that no amount of extra money will speed development). So stop acting like an over-enthusiastic puppy.
LOL... You seem to have missed my point: really, just for emphasis, don't expect anyone to love you for inflicting this on them. Do it if you want it enough, but don't seek our approval. It isn't available.
Anyway, its irrelevant that real circuits have adverts, it doesn't change the fact that advertising is a visual and conceptual form of cancer, that no one would, in their right mind, wish on anyone else. I always thought the point of LFS fictional cars etc was that we, the userbase, don't have to accept the idiotic and oppressive constraints of the so-called real world, and we could just concentrate on a quality driving simulation with concomitant quality racing. Am I wrong?
However I accept your challenge: first I could think of but there are loads of other examples...
Look, its a simple matter - advertising is a blight on what would otherwise be a very good life. There's no getting around this fact and "we" will hate you for forcing it on "us". We also know that it might be a necessity from your point of view, but since "we" see the world from "our" point of view, we will resist the "no option to disable" thing.
Its just a fact of life (as life currently stands...). Don't expect anyone to love you for it. Because we don't.
Not that I care much, since I've not been online for ages. Just pointing out something obvious.
Far as I'm concerned, what I said before still applies: you make a skin that you want to keep private, then don't use it online. Keep it private.
I don't know why people get so hysterical about this... vanity I guess, but encoding vanity into otherwise perfectly functional software is frankly neurotic.
Very simple solution if you don't want to release a layout: don't put it online.
I don't really understand why "ownership" of a layout needs to be protected. Apart from assuaging an infantile need on the part of the maker to receive continuous praise and approval, the only other reason I can see would be to prevent competitors from gaining advantage by learning a course before a competition.
But again, this is easily prevented by not putting it online before the competition starts.
Yeah, of course, its tiresome to listen to people reiterating imbecilic garbage (racism, for instance), but the right to, not just express yourself, but to engage in conversation with others is a political freedom that you cannot allow your own apathy or fatigue to erode.
Yeah, I guess that's what China said to its populace: "Hey, we can't remember the specifics, but we're not interested in that free speech thing anyway... Please limit what you say here to what we want to hear"
Oh, and I can walk into anywhere and tell people to go around the corner. And anyone can tell me to shut up... however, throwing me out might be assault. Call me picky, but that's what freedom under the law is about. Shame you don't realise that...
