Quote from dUmAsS :

remind me not to park near you

unless you're someone who hits everyone they park beside you've got no worries parking near me.

i just have trouble with people who are so blatantly disrespectful.

Quote from Mikkel Petersen :

I don't see why you guys have such a need to bash him for spelling mistakes, to be honest I can't really see the big problem? illepall

the only reason i posted is because he stated he's in honors english and doesn't need anyone to correct him.

Quote from Infiniti :

Wait, so because I don't you proper english on a forum, oh wait hold on that one!

it's "use" not "you"

Quote from Infiniti :

Your from the United Kingdom

it's "you're" not "your"

Quote from Infiniti :

You would still understand it, scientist have done studies were humans dont read every single letter.

that should be two sentences, not one with a comma. it's "scientists" not "scientist", "where" not "were", and “don’t” not “dont”

Quote from Infiniti :

I'm in honors english, I don't need to be tought grammar, or spelling.

it’s “taught” not “tought”. if that's an example of what is coming out of honors english in the USA then we're all in trouble.

Quote from Infiniti :

Weather or not it made total sense after the off topic part, everyone understood, an airplane crashed, three people died, right by my house, and theres a lesson to be told about it.

it's "whether" not "weather", “there’s” not “theres”, and that's another sentence that should be broken up, not divided by commas.

Quote from Infiniti :

And now that there is more information on the incident, it's starting to really point fingers at the pilot, because he didn't follow standard procedures.

no comma needed after "pilot"

Quote from Infiniti :

Clownpaint I do not need your lessons,

yes, in fact you do.

Quote from Infiniti :

Especially this day and age on the interent, were aim language dominates most teenagers.

”internet” not “interent” and "where" not "were"

Quote from Infiniti :

Cheers,

you spelled your name correctly, congratulations.

i see you're from Nebraska................................no comment.

on a recent ski trip some dick head parked super close and not even parallel to me. i noticed that his green door had blue paint at exactly the same height that my blue truck had some new green lines on it.

putting 2 and 2 together to make 5 (one extra for my rage) i decided to return the favor. i unlocked my door and bounced it off of his a few times, then pushed it into his door while hopping in and out of my seat to copy the up and down marks he left on mine.

felt a little better.

i think it's a good move for him and the fans. i hate to see drivers stagnate at a team. how many centuries did david coulthard drive for McLaren?

STIR UP THE POT!

the headline i'm waiting for is "SCHUI CALLS IT QUITS" so a new era of F1 can begin. maybe an era where drivers are respectful of each other on track even!

Edit: and i'm waiting for Ralf to get the boot too. he's never done anything noteworthy in my books. he's good enough to be there, he's just not "special" enough to stay i think.

speedfreak227

i remember when the mrt5 came out in its own little patch, it was like the game was brand new! mostly because it was the first car on slicks. but still, couldn't a new car be introduced every 4-8 weeks?

pardon my ignorance if this is an overly complicated request. when i had to take computer programming at university i couldn't even make a random number generator without help. illepall

karting rules. i don't think i'd want a full size race car.
if anything i'd like to move up to shifters though.

Quote from Roadie :

get an XFX 6600GT... They make the best 6600GT..

ok um....... "they make the best" isn't the most convincing arguement.

is there something specific that makes there's the best?

Quote from ajp71 :

I dobut it will be real pump diesel, sounds like a PR stunt to me, a highly strung racing engine will be so different from a road engine any economy gain will be lost and there will no dobut be a load of trick electrics to solve the usual throttle response issues with a diesel

sorry to be off topic, but WHAT IS THAT GUY DOING BEHIND THE CAR in your avatar?

pushing?
tying his shoe?
is it you?

speedfreak227

thanx for all your help guys. hopefully i'll go pick it up tomorrow after i fail my final exam. (but pass on the curve!)

speedfreak227

does someone have a link to this "racer"?

i've never heard about it besides this thread.

Yeah I still have it installed It's not that fantastic anymore, but having said that it's not bad either. Gives me an hour of enjoyment every now & then..

speedfreak227

ok, now comes a more subjective part of the question..... what brand should i get?

i'm seeing:
ASUS (leaning towards them right now)
chaintech
eVGA
Gigabyte
Leadtek
MSI
PNY
XFX
Aopen
Bfg

and some others.

speedfreak227

yes, i did mean PCI express. sorry. it's been a while since i investigated this stuff. my motherboard is relatively new but don't think i have the box here with me anymore. is there a way to find out from windowsXP which motherboard i'm using?

speedfreak227

Edit: i found the motherboard box. it's an ASUS A8V Deluxe.
Socket 939 for AMD cpu
system bus 2000MT/s
dual-channel DDR400

the box stats say 8X AGP

ok, i'm currently running an Nvidia 4200ti. it runs well but the frame rate drops off with a bunch of cars on screen, especially right at the green flag.

i've had NOTHING but troubles with ATI so i want to stick with NVidia. i also have a game that was designed to run ONLY on Nvida cards and i'd like to keep it available to play.

i do not have the new AGP slot on my motherboard.
i'm assuming with the new AGP slot now quite common that the prices of regular AGP cards are going to come down. am i right? i haven't been following the trends lately.

after laying that info out for you all, my question is this:

What Nvidia AGP card would you recomend in the $100-200 USD range?
if you have ebay links to good deals please post them up here too.

thank you,

Lock to real Monocock Drivers . I stand also on the seat and slip inside.

monocoque? hehehehe. though i'd assume most of the users on this site are monocock.

first, that is an awesome job! clearly a skilled laborer who takes pride in his work. good to see.

ANYWAY, on to my question:

that little thingy between the steering wheel and the monitor, is that the device that measures your head's rotation and turns the camera angle with it? if so, does it feel natural once you're used to it?

thanx,

I of course have to go through the hassle of drug testing (not that it matters now at my age, perhaps back in the college days ).

you had to be tested for drugs because you had an accident?

Quote from Bob Smith :

Firefox, however I made the mistake of removing IE, deleting the files isn't a problem but removing all the registry entries stops MMC from loading. Time to reinstall...

what is MMC?

and yeah, trying to get rid of "the virus" that is IE is a mistake. bill makes you pay for getting rid of him.

There's a tribe deep in the Tuktyuktuk jungle. The tribe's chief builds himself a bamboo throne and has several men help him get it up into his grass hut on stilts. One of the other tribesmen is jealous and goes out into the jungle to find a large boulder. He spends weeks carving and chipping away at it. Finally his throne is completed. He gets every man in the tribe to help him bring it back to the village and lift it up into his grass hut. The hut collapses under the weight almost immediately.

The moral of the story: people who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones

Quote from Tweaker :

Since you are from Canada, and seeing this course attempted in Generally, I think that'd be Vancouver

well, several minutes. not too bad. unlike the track which was pretty crappy for passing but was an INCREDIBLE 3 day event, especially with the lower classes of racing below Champ Cars.

speedfreak227

here's one for ya. i drew in the track layout with wonderful precision. ok, so i suck, but you get the gist of the course.

quote this message in your reply so the answer makes sense rather than just saying, "suzuka" in a lone post. and if anyone quotes this post and THEN says "suzuka" i'll shoot their dog.
