No, I don't. But someone I believe said it was probably something like 7%. That would be about 80,000 of our registered users. It's ok to alienate 100 people or so, but not 80 thousand people.

ive said this before and ill say it again
adding a dx11 rendering path wont break the existing dx9 renderign path that will still work just fine on xp

Quoting from that page :


So it was a MS patch that allowed that worm to work.
MS updates : fix some bugs and add some new ones.

read again:
for which a patch had been released one month earlier in MS03-026 and later in MS03-039.

Quote from Scawen :

It's quite simple, don't install viruses or run an exe without being sure that it is safe and you'll be fine.

Quote from Scawen :

Not a possibilty because LFS must still work on XP and I will not budge on this point.

Quote from Dennis93 :

pretty astonished how bad the models of the cars are... it looks like they've been in a massive crash, then barged out with a slegdehammer, by the looks of that video by Stabi.

its just crappy low-res aliased reflections

besides the semislicks on the 458 have ~3% more grip
hardly an earth shattering difference

Quote from Keling :

Not sure about raw torque, but you can check some iRacing wheel benchmarks for angle vs time.

the image doesnt load for me unfortunately
could someone please upload it or point me to some other wheel speed benchmark?

Person with diabetes doesn't "die" or lose conciousness if he forgets the insulin unless he "forgets" it for days. And for a diabetic person to lose consciousness it is far more likely he forgot to eat than to forget to take insulin.

Stupid hollywood diabetes...

with type 1 diabetes the boold sugar can rise or fall dramatically in a short time period depending on food inatke and insuilne shots

Quote from Forbin :

I thought you were still on an FW900? 1920x1200@100Hz, no ghosting, no extra processing lag, minimal image tearing. Oh, and of course colors shifted well towards green.

it died a long long time ago

what do you mean? youre not gaming on 4k yet?

Quote from Scawen :

I am shocked that you can't go full screen, using two monitors as a single surface.

yes you can you just have to set up eyefinity or nividia surround

Quote :

And someone cannot, for example, use 3D mode (SBS, full) on a double screen setup, sent to twin projectors with polarising filters, unless they have XP.

again eyefinity or surround

Quote :

Now, no, you cannot do that, you must use Windows 7's automatic driver installation system.

of course you can manually install printer drivers and it works just fine
also at least at work getting printer drivers from out printserver for win7 works a million times better than manually installing that crap for the xp64 i had before

Quote from Scawen :

There is absolutely no possibility that we will release a version of LFS that doesn't work well on XP at any time soon while it is still commonly used. So let's not consider that ridiculous possibility, that would alienate 90 thousand users for no reason whatsoever. We aren't jumping on the rampant capitalism bandwagon.

why not offer multiple rendering paths like the majority of games do?
its not like the dx8 rendering (or possibly dx9 with about a days work according to kegetys whom im inclined to trust in all things code) path that currently exists and works fine will stop working if you add something more modern

Quote :

Windows 7 is just weird. For example, "Sorry, you can't overwrite that file because you would need administrator privileges. Would you like to give yourself administrator privileges so you can overwrite that file?"

sudo is a great idea actually

Quote from Scawen :

I don't like that "sleep" causes a blue screen crash and the only advice I can find on the internet is "that's how it is on 7, just don't use sleep".

i only use sleep on laptops but on all the laptops ive tried with win7 it worked just fine
sounds to me like theres a hardware or driver issue
have you checked that the sleep states your bios offers are correct?

Quote from Becky Rose :

and/or have never actually written a game themselves.

you are aware that carmack is working for the rift these days?

Quote from Bean0 :

Is it really worth continuing to support XP, as it goes totally end of life in 6 months time.

of course it isnt
anybody who still uses xp after the support ends must really not care about their data

Quote from Matrixi :

Due to the seriousness of the matter at hand, I will however apologize if that's how you (or any other offended germans) honestly took my post, because that is not what I intended to mean with it at all.

dont worry you wont be able to offend me
greater men than you have tried and failed
that doesnt make posting something like that any less bad taste though

Quote :

If it makes someone smile that they have a windowed PC case, if it makes someone smile to wear large clocks or use golden phones, what is it to you? Why do you care? Why does it personally bother you?

if something like this
http://www.anandtech.com/show/ ... edition-18ct-gold-htc-one
and windowed pc cases to a lesser extent doesnt hurt your aestetic sensibilties to a degree thats almost up to physical pain you simply dont have any
and possibly no soul

the fact that you think theres any other interpretation shows that you know **** all about the german psyche

and youve already shit the bed as hard as humanly possible with that post of yours its too late to try to turn this around and try to paint me as the bad guy

Quote from Matrixi :

If that's a remark regarding what I think it is, you're reading in to my post with a completely different meaning than what it is.

thats so vague and noncommittal i have no idea what youre trying to say

however there really is only one way to interpret your mixture of german, all caps and "they should not exist"; doubly so when youre using it against a german to discredit him

on the plus side its in such unspeakably bad taste that it makes your noveau riche tastes in computer cases pale in comparison

Quote from Matrixi :

"NEIN NEIN NEIN WINDOW IS BAD TASTE AND THEY SHOULD NOT EXIST!"

very mature of you

Quote from BWX232 :

Wait, if you didn't, that would make you a hypocrite. An annoying, pompous, arrogant hypocrite.

feeling the need to go ad hominem after i "insulted" your bad taste? youve lost the argument

Quote from Matrixi :

My point was, what is your taste isn't necessarily everyone elses. Live and let live.

again my taste doesnt factor into this
being tacky and chintzi is a universal property irrespective of my tastes

Quote from Matrixi :

So basically: "STOP LIKING THINGS I DON'T LIKE!"

logic?
there is such a thing as objectively good and bad taste
and windowed cases are most definitely on the bad end of the spectrum

Quote from Torolol :

why do you have avatar in this forum? if you have a desktop wallpaper, why? for that matter, why do you like anything? continue living your miserable life disliking everything

why dont you use your real account? oh right you got banned for being a twat

Quote from Matrixi :

Because some of us like how they look.

some also like weaing large wall clocks round their necks or golden phones
soemthign being common doesnt make any of it any less of a faux pas

what i dont get is why people put windows in their pcs its so unbelievably garish

Quote from Migz :

It's how my PC was wired previously, but after moving house my computer is now the other side of the room, rather then directly next to it.

then either get a differential connection going or much easier connect stuff with spdif

Quote from Jakg :

they were too wide to be plugged in simultaneously (i.e. where you have 3 in a row, they were so wide that they blocked the neighbouring holes)

yeah dvda is a bitch to actually pull off
