I have 8 spare invites if anyone want just PM me with your email.

Quote from Takumi_lfs :

Correct me if I'm wrong but every browsers have tabs.

Actually you're right, but some people just can't stand changing tabs every time they want to go to another website.

And by the way, in my opinion things are easier and faster if everything is in the reach of your eyes at the same time. Of course you don't need a web page to do that, but anyway...


Click for full size

Not all browsers have this function. So, at least in my opinion, the googlegooglegooglegoogle website is useful.

Quote from Takumi_lfs :

Whats the point of having alot of google's in a page? I mean, doesnt 1 satisfy you?

Having 4 googles in a single page makes it much easier and faster to work. And you can also choose to browse any page other than google. It really makes searching for several things at the same time much easier and faster.
Having more than that in the same page makes everything a mess. But some people just have too much free time....

Quote from BlakjeKaas :

wut, that's almost the same as http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabas ... 31/5699cb1c/boobies_.html

He speaks Brazilian Portuguese.

"My name is Rodrigo and now I'm going to help you training at your home! I wanna see you training! Up and down! Up and down! [he repeats that several times]

Get ready to the abdominals! Let's go!

Video ends.

Quote from majod :

i was talking about case when you computer is turned off...

chrome os boots up in 15s right into my gmail account, win takes around minute including login,.... starting browser so there is some difference...

Well, you could also take your mobile phone off your pocket and type gmail.com in its default (or any other) browser, it's much faster and your phone is probably always on.

I still would never use Chrome OS (apart from trying to install it on mobile phones, just to say "hey a phone runs Chrome OS") anyway.

Quote from iFastLT :

So does anybody know how to invite someone? I have wave account, or somehow you must get those invites, so you could invite other people?

One of your default waves contains the invites. I think it's the "Invite your friends" one. I have just opened Google Waves for the first time and I have got 8 invites.

Quote from majod :

i'd like this OS to be on usb drive and boot from there...in case i want to just check whats new on my favourite websites....

Ever thought of just opening Google Chrome or any other browser in your current operational system to do that? It's much easier, faster and makes much more sense than creating a totally new OS just to emulate on virtual PC every once in a while in order to check your websites. Actually in my opinion it would be just nonsense, why would you want to emulate a "OS" (that is just a browser) instead of just opening any web browser on your current to do the same thing?

Guys keep things simple, we don't really need to emulate web browsers running the Linux kernel on a virtual PC on Windows just to check our emails.

Quote from Flame CZE :

The bold is already done. And by the way, those thing were just a plan.

It is not.
The car shadows and the track shadows are two different things. The car shadows have been done; the track shadows have not.

Anyway.

Thanks a lot Scavier! I love these progress reports, I'm so excited about this new patch.

I'm part of the group of few people who have actually managed to access the website without getting any errors.

Managed to get 64 Googles before running out of patience.

Quote from Crashgate3 :

Not sure about the others (I imagine they're the same), but VirtualBox lets you use the CD drive of the host machine, and you just install the OS as normal.

Yeah, that's the same thing for the Windows 7 Virtual PC that comes with the Ultimate version. Just put a CD on the drive or choose a .iso image of the OS disc and boot up the Virtual PC, it'll install correctly. I've installed Ubuntu on Microsoft Windows Virtual PC once. Works wonderfully, the only problem is I can't figure out how to make the mouse work on it.

Keyboard is fine, though.

I'd love to get a invite too!

Quote from wheel4hummer :

A better way is to have your email address in an image. Better yet, in a captcha-style image.

Quote from chavm481 :

are you portugese?

That's spanish.

Quote from Shadowww :

Google have over 9000 terabytes of HDD's

I'm pretty sure you meant petabytes.

And by the way, youtube has already added this 1080p support. Some of my videos have also already been automatically updated to use that feature.

Quote from danthebangerboy :

yeah, i would say that bad romance is her best track to date.

I have only just seen the video, and it is fairly f--ked up lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACm9yECwSso&fmt=18

LOL! Indeed, this is the most weird music video I have EVER seen.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

I just rush.. it kinda works for the most part.

Did you know that the most you rush (and the better you're performing in the game), the game director (which controls the AI) puts more infected in the game to attack you?

Quote from G!NhO :

Higher piracy figures does not mean it's more popular on PC.

But it does mean there are much more people playing it on PC than the sales figures can tell.

Quote from Scawen :

Request : Please could all translators check the /agreement section of the help text if you have not done so already.

Brazilian Portuguese translation passed. Everything is correctly translated and up-to-date: meaning, syntax, spelling and grammar.

Quote from Migz :

Preto(spelling?) is black.
Unless of course theres black as in colour and then black as in skin colour?
Im not too sure, my parents dont really tell me these things.

Refering to someone as "Preto" would be considered racist in Brazil, since it should only be used to define the black color instead of the black skin color which is "Negro". Spelling is correct though.

Quote from Bose321 :

But that's not the joke I think. Russians or Ukrainians don't have that color. Brazilians do, more atleast, I think.

Well, not really. Most Brazilians don't have that color. It's only a few that have, and they're called "negros" (or "negras" for women, in Portuguese). It's not racist by the way. It's just a name for the color of the skin: Branco (white) and Negro ("black", is that how you call it in english?). In some parts of the country there are more people with this skin color, but in all places I have lived here I there have been very few people with it. Almost all of my friends (women) where I currently live don't have that skin color.

But it should fit for a joke, though, because it seems everyone outside South America (or even just outside of Brazil) think all Brazilians have that skin color, specially women.

Quote from Victor :

I have attached a new test installer [...] with 20 translations.
[...]
-When the language selection box opens, is the right default language pre-selected for you? (and which one was that, in case there was one available for youor language)
-When selecting that language, does the text in the rest of the installer look good?
[...]
The language selector should just be for testing. It will be removed later on if it appears the auto-detection works properly.

Quote from Agreement :

[...]por quaisquer danos pesoais ou materiais no seu computador que possam ocorrer durante o uso deste software.[...]

pessoais would be the correct term. "pesoais" is a typo.
And in the last part of the installer, I suggest it should be "Instalador" instead of "Assistente", but it doesn't matter so much, both are right. The only problem is the typo on the agreement.

I have Windows 7 Ultimate and I can easily change the system language at any time, so I tried changing it to all 5 languages I have currently installed, and the installer selected the correct language at all times. Great work


Edit:

Quote from Scawen :

And it has to be a self extracting exe because not that many people have 7zip installed.

I for one don't.

Quote from Scawen :

Yes, this is just to make it easier to install LFS.

Many users, who have used a computer for years, don't actually know how to deal with a self extracting archive, because they have simply never come across one. The just download the installer and run it (without moving it to the place where they want their program to be).

That's so true. I know many people who have downloaded LFS to their Downloads folder, opened the self extracting archive and simply pressed the first button that appeared on the screen as if it were a normal installer, expecting it to install in the correct place and create a uninstall option, just to then find out their download folder (which was already not very organized) was now filled with LFS files, and that they had to figure out which files belong to LFS and which doesn't in order to delete them to then try doing it right the next time with the self extracting archive.

I've also seen some people that even think about changing the extracting location, but only put something like C:\Program Files\ and expect the self-extracting file to create the LFS folder (which it doesn't), thus having their Program Files folder messed up, and again not knowing which files belong to LFS and which don't.

Edit: I for myself when I first downloaded LFS I opened the self extracting archive, noticed that screen with the place to extract the game and I didn't like it because by that time I couldn't know if it was going to first extract the game to then install it or if it would be ready to play right after extracting, and then, trying not to mess anything up, I just thought of it like any other compressed file and chose "Extract it to LFS_PATCH_U folder" on WinRAR.

Quote from JackCY :

will try, but I'm not a fan of installers, they only do useless things and no body ever knows what it really does, registry etc.
if you can stay with the packed version (zip, rar, 7z, ...) it would be good, no installer needed, never had any problems, thx

Right click on the installer, "Extract to Live for Speed", click that, done.
No need to keep the 7z packed version, just the installer one, and anyone can extract it and play without running the installer.

Quote from dougie-lampkin :

Then why was there a COD5?

That's a bit different to be fair, there is a GTA 4 that's completely unrelated to VC. This is the first COD that dropped the number. It's not the official title, I know, but it's easier to type COD6 rather than Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 all the time, and I've been met with varying degrees of confusion when I said MW2 before Plus, until they do release a proper COD6, you know exactly what I mean by COD6

Most Wanted 2?
NFS: Most Wanted 2?


Why not calling it COD:MW2?
