I take it this would be ESL?
4. Easier user interface of the ESL site would be appreciated, I know it's more taylored to FPS stuff.
Otherwise 2 hours training for everyone would be needed

Ooh, that brings back memories.
Command & Conquer, and the sequel Red Alert took up lots of my time. Even the precurser that started it... Dune

From LFS World there's an option to download all your skins as a zip. They will be in full 1024 resolution, I think.

Edit: screenshot attached

Reason why people hate LRF?
Because they dont have slick tyres. (which is the reason I love them)

I knew a bloke who had a a pet Snow Leopard (never saw it myself). He said people would cross the road to get away when he took it for a walk.

Quote from thisnameistaken :That's what I was thinking!

I've only seen the one photo of you, but bloody hell...!

It's the same for my Wii console caricature, too close for comfort!

Quote : So far only thing damaged is my sleep as she's having a tendency to wake me up at 6 A.M.

Yes, cats like to wake you up early when they're bored.
Bubble lets me know he wants attention at 4:00am by headbutting my face

Good luck Dan, all the best for the future.
This looks like it will suit you just right
Keep bringing them LRF leagues

As a side note, I think most alarms are pretty much useless as everyone ignores them. This includes car and house alarms, peoples first thought is false alarm.
A better idea is an alarm that sends you a text when triggered, but they're not too common.

I'd also like something to finetune monitor colours. I have two screens (an LCD and an CRT) and cannot balance the two to look the same.

I expect we would need something external (not affected by the monitors). Printing a test card is no good 'cos that would depend on your printer.

You're not guaranteed the full download limit all the time, you're actually sharing a bigger connection between many users from your local telephone exchange. Domestic broadband is commonly 50:1 contention ratio, more expensive business broadband might be 20:1 contention ratio.

Depends on how many are using the same link in your area as to the download available. More likely better download speed with lower contention.
Apparent as slower service at peak times, though you might get lucky This is just one of the bottlenecks that may slow your service

There are other ISPs apart from the ones that spend on big TV advertising!
(Everyone talks as though there are only 3 ISPs in the UK, tut)

Take a look at something like ISP review and read what existing users think of their service.

I'm with a small outfit; not the cheapest, but you talk to someone who doesn't just read off a script if something needs attention.

Sorry to hear Dan. Glad you're not too worse for wear, take it easy for a couple of days

Quote from Mackie The Staggie :As it's an Alfa most likely to break down

That's just wrong nowadays, IMO. The cars are great, just the dealerships are a bit hit & miss.

Quote from danowat :As for the "margins", many places in the UK are now operating on a zero tolerance system, where there is no margin.

That's rediculous, everyone will need to keep their eyes glued to the speedo instead of outside.

I thought they allowed 10%+2; so 70mph limit = 79mph, 30mph limit = 35mph
I expect it's down to the area.

I don't push it in town, maybe a bit out of town

Hmm, I'm thinking a long track due to the 4 hours. Otherwise you'd lap the small track about 4 times more - repetative!

I can't see me doing this alone, with driver swaps maybe.

Quote from FL!P :But I got their Going Faster! book and it taught me lots of things. Very good!

I've got it too, I'd like to think it improved my sim racing - i was previously concentrating on the wrong things.

Go on people, give road tyres a try.
They may feel completely alian at the moment, but they are rewarding to race with

The stupidest part of this LAW is the requirement for signs bloody everywhere! Every single entrance to a public place has to have a large sign, with more signs inside the building between sections, public transport, company cars etc.

Do we need signs to tell us not to murder, rape, pillage? Once people are used to this law these signs will do nothing but make everywhere look messy, it's government grafitti. The sign making companies must be laughing themselves silly.

If you still need extra cooling (maybe inthe height of summer), there's stands available for laptops with integral fans such as these

Edit: you're well aware of laptop coolers... I'll shut up now :X
