Nah, they haven't covered it but I'm fully aware that this method of data collection isn't the best. I have varied my sources of responses a little bit, but considering each person only need 30 responses total, the accuracy of anyone's data for their paper is subpar at best. This basically comes back to the fact that the class is a GEC. Not sure if the term is the same for you guys, but a GEC is a general education course, aka you have to take a few of them to become a more well-rounded student, but they don't apply specifically to your major and aren't as serious/difficult as a necessary course.

/Edit - One more potentially serious problem with blanketing my normal forums is the fact that I had a total of 3 females respond to the survey, and one of those was one of my flatmates

I see, no-one has filled in one

Thank you I'm not trying to stir up a debate, I'm just trying to get some of these filled out so I can write my paper.

Eh, I had a choice of 3 topics and this was the only one that was interesting to me. Other 2 choices were connections between video game violence and real life violence (the dead horse that has been beaten to a bloody pulp) and opinions on a potential ban on smoking in public places in our state.

The paper is specifically on the topic of teaching intelligent design and/or evolution in schools. I'm just looking for correlations between being in favor/against the teaching of either and different groups of people. What I'm referring to in the question "Intelligent Design is creationism presented as science" is whether or not the person believes that intelligent design is an attempt by christianity to get creationism back in public schools. I've heard this viewpoint a few times and I figured that was the most objective way to
ask that question. Technically, yes, creationism covers many religions/beliefs, but what I'm specifically referring to is the christian idea of creation. It is a good point though, but I can't change it now because I already have some answers to the survey.

Nah, anyone can answer. Technically I could get by with just making up the responses and not get caught, so it's not that serious.

I'm collecting survey responses for a paper I'm writing in my sociology course. The class is just a GEC so the survey's not too long, and thanks in advance to anyone who responds.

I can't race properly in rfactor unless I turn the steering dampening/acceleration off. LFS has gotten me too used to fully proportional steering.

Memory does play a big part in games with 'top of the line' graphics engines, but I don't think it would matter that much in LFS considering the graphics seem to be straightforward 'put a texture or two on a polygon and call it a day.'

It does bug me when someone completely random slams into me after a race, but if it's the racer I just swapped positions with for the past 5 laps, it's fair game. :P Besides that, there's no way to stop this, and it's not really a problem in the first place. If a majority of people thought it was something to be banned for, then you have your wish, but most of the time it's just playing around and you were unlucky.

No pictures on me right now, but a 5 speed 1984 Toyota Celica Supra P-Type. :P Two tone brown and in extensive need of repairs. (Rust is eating the quarter panels and the underbody, and I've been driving around for the past few months with a blown front right strut.)
