:P Well, I haven't installed any patches on mine, running at 1920x1200 on I think mid graphics level with a 8800GTS 320 and E6600 it was just about playable. So considering you have a quad and a G92 GT (@ 1680x1050?) you'd probably be OK without any of the buggy patches.
Should be OK Jack, the GT would be the limiting factor with high res textures etc. For £25 or whatever it is atm, I would say it's worth it.
Why not post anonymous here? It avoids prejudice.
I think part of the cause (not problem by any means) is the increase over the few years we've had here of a younger audience. That and there really only being a limited number of things to talk about with a game which leads to question repetition.
I only visit this and one other forum regularly, but the other forum doesn't have any problems due to it's user base all being a similar age, and the topic being big enough that new questions are still being asked ever since it's conception many years ago.
Looking back on threads from a few years back, that forum was a much nicer place generally. I notice a lot of senior posters then have since left. However I'm not sure what you can do to remedy the situation.
I'm pretty sure I know the OP.

So what if I do? I'm not the one justifying it by saying I couldn't afford it.
Why should your gender change anything? It's an expression, I don't suddenly change my tone because I'm talking to a female...
You're not paying for the game, you're paying for a license to play the game. Whatever state that is in. It states that on the read before you buy page.
Still, I don't mind what happens to LFS really, if they stopped today I would feel I've got my £24 worth.

No but can't they just request the host to remove it. The hosting company will listen to cencorship laws over you. If indeed that's what the problem is.
It's a bit tricky though because you pay for an S2 license, but what does that mean?
If they stopped developing the game today, people might have reason to argue, but say if they dropped the Alpha tag and stopped, that's that then, you've payed for and received 'S2'.
Then when do updates stop, when do they move onto S3 and when do they stop updating S3. I'm sure the devs have the plan worked out as best as possible but it must be a hard model to maintain.
From the small amount of work I've released to the public I found support and updates very time consuming... and to a certain extent tedious. Once the final product is released, support essentially eats time for no return other then maintaining - or even perhaps improving - your reputation for future projects. It'll be interesting to see how this pans out with LFS.
edit: I agree with your last paragraph obsolum.

My post was directed at you. For essentially saying stealing is fine if you can't afford it. Why shouldn't anyone respond to that?
Man up.
Man up.
How's your HDD fragmentation? Run a chkdsk?
If you meant can't, then you shouldn't be owning them should you?
I can't afford a Ferrari, doesn't mean I'm thus allowed to go out and steal one.
Blimey yer that is oldskool. I had Warcraft 1 once upon a time which I guess was on DOS, can't remember really. Good times though.
Yes it's from Blizzard, it's also what, 10 years old?
Yep, back to the Tristan approved spike-on-steering-wheel method.
Get a download manager. Bang all the parts in. Leave overnight. Job done.
edit: That probably only works with a premium account actually, don't think you can queue anything without premium accounts.
Wait... BOTH the downloads and the disc are corrupt? Seems a bit weird.

Unless your security includes an open front door I wouldn't be too worried
Hah well it's probably only $50 or something in America, that's just the price we have to pay I guess.
You won't be
- that is quite expensive though, are hardware prices much more in Belgium than the UK? You can pick that card up for around €100-€120 here.

Epic thread title, epic content 
I'd go for the 512MB version personally if it's cheaper
Not at all, in most games (possibly other than LFS), the graphics card will be the limiting factor.
It just takes time to get used to I think. I've been playing rFactor in the evenings a bit lately and can now catch and hold or correct a slide without fuss, although it's true it isn't as easy as in LFS.
