Well yes, by moving a magnet larger than the compass needle, over the needle, you are changing the direction of magnetic charge on the electrons. With a big enough magnetic force, this will completely reverse the direction of charge on these electrons in the magnet, thus reversing the poles.
Understand?

Well, I guess that would still ruin DC's lap, and if Nick wasn't going to complete that lap anyway... meh I dunno...
Its not the most controversial penalty of recent times anyway
Can someone one tell me why in a relaxing TT session with 3 incident points I gain nearly +0.5 SR. But in a race, starting from second, getting into first, getting lots of pressure from behind while trying to pass stubborn back markers and finishing with 0 incident points and a greatly increased blood pressure, I only get a +0.1 SR?
I feel short changed :P

"The magnetic fields that are responsible for the interesting behaviors of magnets can be created either by (1) moving electric charge or (2) changing electric fields. We can ignore the second process because it has very little to do with permanent magnets. Instead, let's focus our attention on the first process: moving electric charge producing magnetic fields. Whenever electric charges flow through a wire, a phenomenon that we call an electric current, they create magnetism. Many appliances use electricity and electric currents to create magnetism, notably televisions, motors, and audio speakers. But a permanent magnet doesn't use an obvious electric current to create its magnetic field. Instead, it uses the spinning character of the electrons inside the material from which that magnet is made. Electrons are electrically charged and they have an intrinsic spinning character. A simplistic view of an electron is as a spinning, electrically charged ball. Since its charge is in motion, an electron acts as a magnet and has both a north pole and a south pole. In most materials, the magnetic electrons are turned in opposite directions, canceling out one another's magnetism so that the overall material is non-magnetic. But in a few special materials, including most steels, the cancellation is imperfect and some magnetism remains. In a permanent magnet, this remaining magnetism is particularly apparent. The material is, in effect, a big collection of magnetic electrons that all work together to create a large magnet."
The answer is in the above text. You know about electrons and their charge right? and how they move around?

I thought DC was? I'm sure he said he was to Louise?
About 5 links down in google:http://howthingswork.virginia.edu/page1.php?QNum=512
From the article:
"When you use a compass to detect which pole of the magnet is north, be careful not to bring the compass needle too close to the permanent magnet. A strong permanent magnet can remagnetize the compass needle and reverse its poles. To make sure that this hasn't occurred, check to see whether the compass still points toward the north pole after you bring it near strong permanent magnets."
Congratulations, you re-magnetized a compass needle! Have a cookie.
Took 2 seconds to find, first link on google:

A teaching book that came out in 2003 on how to reverse compass needles
There's going to be month long gaps between races at this rate...
How about none, because everyone who has studied physics in school knows this already! Let alone PHD students working in this area of physics. That wiki question was asked by someone who doesn't know anything about magnets (probably you :shrug
, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been discovered!Imagine the hundreds of scientists and PHD students working on the magnets in the LHC, with decades of knowledge. You're saying that by rubbing 2 magnetised objects together you now know something they dont?!
Seriously...
Well I don't think Kimi is the sort of driver to purposely force someone else off the track, and he's on the dirty side.
All Hamilton has to do is keep in front of Massa, because Kimi is light apparently so he has a chance to overtake at the first pits.
I hope discussion like this can lead to some kind of change
Though the end of that article is a bit hazy...
...and they weren't even drunk...

it's a project aiming for realism (though last time I tried it was no where near LFS) where the community can make cars and tracks, and a lot of those tracks are free roam roads.

Well if all the drivers get vocal about the current steward situation (except Massa and Kimi of course) then maybe they can pressure a change.
Reading Heidfelds article the current system is just asking for trouble in every way.

Will 1.03 include that Hillclimb car and track? I remember seeing a vid of that and it looked pretty sweet.
If I am able to get a good impression of the next patch from the demo (when its released :P) I might just buy it.

I don't see why not, it worked fine in the 80's. If they make the cars easier to overtake and ban refueling that will mean the races are more about on track action than tactics, which everyone wants. There wouldn't be any problems with re-fueling when the safety car is out either.
I'd suggest that the FIA need to make sure the rules as black and white as possible and only give out penalties when they can PROVE a driver deserves a penalty. I'd like to see even a tiny bit of evidence that Bourdais was to blame for the contact with Massa.
Of course I wouldn't be surprised if they don't change anything and continue to act like idiots, because that's what they do best

Hell if you admire any driver, don't mention that in public because you'll be sure to be hunted down by someone! Who do you think you are, supporting a driver that not everyone likes?
If you are good in photoshop you could take the original image and paint over it with a copy of Lewis' helmet.
I agree on the football part, but I have never seen Formula 1 hooligans roaming the streets drunk before.
I wonder what chants they would sing if there were
^ Was just thinking the same, 'night all! :P
God I wish you could save replays of races, I hope you can in the october update. I keep having great tussles with people and wishing I could watch them afterwards from 3rd person.
I tried GT5P with a mustang, and it understeered horribly, and there was a huge squeal every time I moved the steering wheel. Then if I touched a fence or wall, instant unrecoverable spin.
Didn't feel right at all, so no thanks to drifting in that game. Forza 1 was much more tail happy, so I could have a bit of fun with that.

James said "...He just found the speed, Martin was talking about the drivers that can go out and find it and Hamilton has proved that he is one of them".
Its not directly comparing him to a driving great imo, just saying he found speed when it mattered like other drivers have been able to, and there have been quite a few
.I think the start tomorrow will be pretty key to the outcome, if Kimi can get ahead of Lewis Ferrari may be able to gain an advantage, but if Heikki gets past Kimi, it'll be straight forward for Lewis.
