Quote from Cornys :

IndyCar is not too much different from F1

Indeed, I agree. This is my first season watching F1 and I love it. On the other hand, I tried to watch IndyCar and I just didn't care for it. I was puzzled at the time since it really is so much like F1, all the way down to the push-to-pass buttons. Ultimately, I just decided that there's no accounting for taste and that while I'm a big F1 fan, I'm not an IndyCar fan, and that's ok.

Wow, Massa ran faster than Alonso for a change. Of course the times don't mean that much yet.

As for Pastor, um, "oops?"

Think the US economy wants a battle like that? IMHO google has intentionally started this battle to force patent reform.

I hope you're right, things are really a mess right now. Heck, maybe that's why Google bought Motorola and their wealth of patents: just to finally bring things to a head.

This is our future, the patent wars have begun in earnest. It's going to get a lot worse... but hey, that's the price of "Intellectual Property".

I do find it interesting that Google is willing to go head to head vs. Microsoft: most who've tried have died.

FWIW, this is how I start LFS with the g27 under wine. Just set the RANGE to whatever you want and you should be golden, unless you're using 2 g27s at the same time

Even if you use a library, you need to understand the different packets and how they're used.

Ah, I see. I knew there was a driver for DFGT in 3.2 but I didn't realize it would impact the G27 as well. It's nice to see some proper kernel support. Thanks for all your work on this MadCatX.

I use Arch Linux and after today's update, LTWheelConf won't set the range. I usually use -r 270 but now it stays at 900. My guess is that it's the new drivers in kernel 3.2 but we also got a minor bump to Wine 1.37-1.1 so that's not out of the question.

The good news is that echo works.

dmesg

lsusb -v

RBR: "Seb, slow down so Mark can pass you."
Seb: "Sir yes sir!"

Ah yes, that would have been a beautiful finish to Seb's championship season.
It's all a big story that lets everyone involved save face.

I'd just like to point out that a common attack vector is password reuse. If you use the same password all over then internet, then if any server you have an account with is hacked, it's fairly likely they will be able snag all the passwords, find yours, and hack your Facebook account.

Realistically, I find it hard to believe that an uber hacker would bother with posting obnoxious messages to your FB. That sounds personal to me.

I've had UPSes in the past, now I don't bother. Get a good surge protector and you'll be able to protect your gear from power surges. The UPS will do that too, but it includes a battery to allow you to cleanly shutdown a machine. For a server, that can be critical, for my desktop, eh, why bother, I'll save the money and the headache of battery disposal when it dies.

Speed Dreams is a fork of TORCs, which is an open source racing game. Both are fun but neither is comparable to LFS.

F2 will slow it down, for more info, see http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Keys#Replay_Controls

Maybe if you open the case and clean all the dust out? I'm not saying that's what's wrong, but it sounds like overheating and dust causes that. Other than that, test your memory and your hard drive.

Damn! I thought we had run all you fellers out of the state.

Well, I'll tell ya, most folks out here in the country just like to keep to themselves and I know better than to talk politics or religion

Nice nick, as it happens, I'm a bit of a codehound myself

Quote from baartlomiej :

Hi all. My laptop has got

"Non-system disc or disc error.
Replace and strike any key when ready."

Does someone know how can I fix it?

Thx for replies

That message means that your BIOS can't find a bootable disk, which means something is up with your hard drive. If you can boot some kind of boot disk from either cd or usb, you should be able to take a peek and see if your hard drive is there and if it has anything on it.

Myself, I'd just grab a Linux live disk from Ubuntu or Debian, burn a cd or copy to a thumbdrive then boot, and then sort out my disk problems. That's probably a bit beyond you but think about what has changed... did the disk work yesterday but not today? It might be a failing hd. Did you update a bunch of software and then the reboot didn't work? Something trashed your mbr and/or partition table. Did the guy who repaired it give it back and then it doesn't work? He might have trashed your hd or given you a new one.

Well, unless you're at least a bit technically inclined, take it to a pro.

Wow, the virtual speedo is so perfect for me, thanks!

I figured this would be a load of bull but it turned out pretty darn accurate. Economic Left/Right: -8.75 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.74 And yes, I'm a Marxist Anarchist living in deep East Texas ... I suppose I'm the only one.

Oh geez, I see it now, I suppose I missed it because I'm old, my eyes are terrible, and I need new glasses. (Stupid high rez, tiny font computing paradigm.) Thanks so much, I can read that well enough to continue!

Sorry folks, I feel really stupid but I can't for the life of me figure out where the speedo is in the Formula BWM. I'm kinda jammed up in trying to pass the pitstop training since I have no clue how fast I'm going. I can still just feel my way around ok but I'm flying blind. Please enlighten this poor soul ... how fast am I going?

Howdy Folks, I'm pretty new to all this stuff. I grew up on muscle cars but shoot, I just learned that race cars can actually turn right
