I don't see how you are complaining about Linux not being able to run WINDOWS executables. Maybe game developers should actually make linux ports of their games...

That.

I never used Linux, in fact I avoided it for years. Decided to try Ubuntu and have loved it since. So much more manageable then Windows, and LFS doesn't run too bad in WINE But native support from big studios would be superb.

I enjoy that Ubuntu is faster then Windows, prettier then OSX (Compiz Fusion \o/) and more reliable then them both.

Anyway, what wireless card are you using? My wireless stuff just worked out of the box on Ubuntu.

In fact, only bit of hardware I had to deal with was my video card.

Quote from The Moose :

I'm also on 20Mb Virgin and i find it bloody fantastic. Their FUP isn't for everyone though obviously
I always do my big downloads in the morning or late at night, so its never affected me. I've not been throttled once. Never had any downtime either.

Pings are always great, it's great for gaming in my experience. I find it excellent value for money.

But if you're unable to work around the FUP i could see it being a nightmare.

Word of warning about Sky. For everyone that says they are good, i could find you 5 people that find them a complete shower of shite. I woulnt risk it personallly.


One of the Entanet resellers are probably a good bet still, they always had a fantastic reputation.

Just read the FUP's of everyone before you join anyone else. Truly unlimited broadband is virtually impossible to find in this country. If you do find it it's either going to cost you an arm and a leg or be very hit and miss speed wise.

Yeah, I've read some bad things about Sky myself on the internet, but never actually spoken to anyone who's had a bad time, and I know a fair few subscribers. TBH they all say good things. Except about the router they stick you with (which is where a lot of problems arise... easy to use your own though )

Sky's contract doesn't even contain anything about a fair use policy or shaping. First UK ISP to completely scrap it, and it's not expensive, not hit-or-miss and really is umlimited.

Since they abolished the FUP, I've downloaded enough data to get my contract, had it been with another ISP, cancelled. Sky haven't batted an eyelid. Plus pings and download speed is consistently superb, much better then any other ISP I've tried.

O2 shape their traffic quite a lot too.

I'm with Sky Broadband, unlimited package.

No shaping, no FUP. Always get close to advertised speed, only thing slowing me down is the distance from the exchange, as a result I only get 7MB instead of 8MB.

I'm really not a single seat racer, but had some absolutely cracking races

Will be back for more

tealeaf'd but meh.

Getting the inside on [CD] Jezebel on CD1.

Bit crap really.

Brainiac but with cars. Yawn. Glad they only made 2 series of it.

Sky One should stick to buying American programmes, not making their own.

I don't get the bad vibes about cruise servers. There's not that many of them and you can click an option and not see them any more.

My big annoyance with LFS is demo servers totally dominating the server list when I'm wanting a good race.

Do we really need 50+ XRG/XFG@BL1 servers? No. Sort it out guys.

Yeah, I do smoke.

Started off during those... erm, "hazy" days when most young folks discover pot.

Continued smoking ciggies, although mostly on/off. Then started again when I started my ravey days.

Stopped again, but took it up AGAIN as it'd help me relax and think when I was DJing.

Do like a nice J while I'm sat producing too, doesn't inspire me or anything, just helps me get what's in my brain into my DAW

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

I am so far beyond caring about this fake day to celebrate so called love, devised to make money, that I don't even hate it, to hate it would be to make an effort to have a feeling about it, and I can't be arsed to do that...but you didn't put an option for that in the poll.

My thoughts exactly.

Just another day, exactly the same as February 13th and February 15th...

Evenin'

OK, good stuff, although some issues with sound quality, due to the Flash streamer you have on your site? Didn't download them so I can't check

Promosong83 has a good electro vibe to it, sounds very commerical. Slap a big vocal hook on it and you've got a monster there. Are you running any sidechaining on the lower freqs of the lead? Will help give the kick a much crisper sound. Also, the snaredrum feels far too solid and crisp for the track, perhaps another sample that's a bit more "floaty" or some 'verb/delay will help soften it out and stop it from dominating the mix so much.

The first one, quite spacey in feel. Feel like the higher freqs need pushing out a bit more, especially the hats. Smack some stereo separation on them too, gives them more space. Really not a fan of the progression, also it lacks a fair bit of drive and the direction of the track as a whole seems a bit disjointed. As a whole, with a bit more oomph it'd be great.

I like your work on the effects and your percussion work, also you seem to know what sort of sounds to use when and where, which is massively important.

S14, that's turntablism, beatmixing (which most people know as "DJing") is a whole other world. Best start with the crab and skibble scratches now fella

Quote from chavm481 :

3min of quitet takes more kb that 3min of noise.

Nope.

3 minutes of silence takes up the same space as 3 minutes of banging music.

Assuming it's in .wav, of course. Filesize is down to quality. Without knowing bitrate and whatnot, can't say how long an 8kb file will be. Short though.

Wow, that looks awesome. Hardcore arena looks like it'll be superb. Will be stealing Kev Energy's badger puppet and 'aving it

2 weeks before my birthday... methinks I'll be there! Best start getting on the blag

Klutch, pal of mine is playing in Sydney, dude called Technikal. If you're anywhere near there, I really suggest you check him out as he's pretty damn good. Although you'd only agree if you're into the UK hard trance sound

10 points shy of the top with S****horpe, Peterborough and Millwall hot on our heels, will my beloved MK Dons get that second automatic promotion slot to the Championship?

After a lovely hat-trick from Aaron Wilbraham and our general form overall in our return to League 1, I'm saying yes.

I bet Paul Ince wishes he never left to go to Blackburn. Look where that got him!

He could have been a hero to the people of sunny Milton Keynes... Oh well, Go di Matteo!

Quote from DieKolkrabe :

1. Nope, Moe runs it

2. It had something to the effect of 'the ORIGINAL one'

Hah, I need to do more crazy stuff then

And aye, PCT still runs

Moe? Never heard of him.

Perhaps I screwed him over on a taxi fare during the days when Fed ran it

No doubt a few of the oldskool like Monty_Carlo and Luigi_Sawyer (Do they still play?) would give me a gleaming character reference if I wanted to return. I was a good RPer, and certainly not a ban worthy person.

Oh well. Wouldn't go back anyhow, wouldn't seem right without Doe riding shotgun, shooting following police cars. Memories are best left in the past

"Updating Steam: 0%".

GRRR.

I'm "Syfoon" on Steam. Usually I'm on HL2DM, sometimes the odd round of CS:S or DoD:S.

Come kill me. I'm rubbish.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

You spoon.....


This is why I don't go to raves - Then again, if you never posted the link, no-one would likely be the wiser.

To be honest, in my years clubbing, I rarely saw a video camera.

Only times were during the HFTV days and police raids.

I'm with S14 here.

I set my Profiler to the same degrees as the car has, and I get a FFB stop when I go lock to lock.

It's a pain to keep changing the Profiler when changing car classes, but it's worth it. I'm thinking your problem is you either haven't created an LFS profile within Profiler, so it's using the Global setting of 900 degrees, or your LFS profile is set to 900 degrees.

Sometimes the Profiler will go a bit scatty and not lock properly, but it'll still throw 50% or so FFB at me to tell me I've gone past the amount of lock I set.

If you're getting annoyed with having to change the wheel turn amount in Options or the garage, use the scripting system. Spending 30 minutes on scripts has made my LFS time so much easier.

I've been in Mixmag, not a small shot but a massive picture, gurning my face off.

Terrible really, ah well.

Quote from DieKolkrabe :

Checked earlier, apparently you're banned if you go back there

Strange how I never got any complaints there with the stuff I get up to :P

Very strange.

I dunno if Fed still runs LSRP, I can't see him banning me really.

I'm guessing, as it's been several years since I played there (Stopped playing when my friend, Doe, (no doubt you'll have heard about him if you're a big LSRPer) died), is that someone else used the name and was being a bit of a pen0r.

I never did anything banworthy really. Plus being buddies with the big names, and being one yourself, sorta lets you get away with things

Is the LS:PCT still there? That was mine and Doe's project and we were the first leaders. Got a bit boring being running Cuneo after a while. Quite fun to ferry noobs from the airport on the buses and earn small change driving taxis, heh.

Quote from DieKolkrabe :

Holy waffles, I think there's still an open complaint about you on LSRP forums O_O

I wouldn't be surprised.

We (me and Doe) were the shared Dons of Cuneo on there for a fair while. As well as beta-testers and top level admins Was a bit of a no-lifer on LSRP for a while, together we ammassed a rather big pile of money and properties.

Good days. I remember the fun abusing the fish command and harassing the filth. Especially Milne.

Used to play SA:MP a few years ago on Godfather and later LS:RP.

I was Rolf_Harris if anyone remembers those days.

RIP Jonathan_Doe.

Quote from 5haz :

The difficulty level is highly adjustable, so its not too hardcore if you don't want it to be.

Yeah you can fly it with keys.

Price varies, but DO NOT BUY OFF STEAM! They don't update the game and they use a modified .exe file which means that the various online lobby systems available wont recognise the game, and it's a pain to sort it out.

Superb, and duly noted

I'll go poke about online. And see if I have any pennies to spare

Is it a hardcore(ish) sim?

Can you fly it with a controller? I don't have a stick

Cost?

Been meaning to play a combat flight sim for a while for something new to do...

My setup is more of a DJ one. Although it sounds fantastic. Lovely and crisp on the high end.

Plus I'm poor, kinda limits me

2x Technics 1210s
