Logitech uses cheap, low quality drivers. Fail! I like how everyone goes on about the sound quality being so amazing, but then they only talk about "omg the tang-band 10in subwoofer is so awesome when i turn the bass boost up so high that the amplifier is clipping"

Quote from Bob Smith :Many people would rather sit on their arse doing nothing than actually contribute to a community by working.

But if they did, everyone would just starve and the human race would die.

Anyway, I suppose those who say that it's greed that's the problem, not money are correct. Before it would be possible to abolish a monetary system, everyone would have to consider themselves as equals, and not think of items as being personal possessions. Which is not, in my opinion "impossible" but rather improbable. One can always hope though. Who knows what society will be like in 1000 years.
What if money did not exist?

I'm tired, and listening to some really inspirational progressive house music. I began to think: "What if money did not exist?" So, in OpenOffice I decided to write down my thoughts.


Isn't there more to life then going to school, getting an education, making money, then later starting a family and owning a house, two cars, and a dog? As much as no-one would like to admit it, our society is filled with greed, and is driven by material goods. Certainly, people who have more material possessions, or more money are considered a higher type of human being then those who have little or no money, or may even be homeless. When a homeless man begs for money from passing government workers and wealthy businessmen in Washington, he is almost acknowledging that he is lower on the proverbial totem pole then the wealthy men that ignore his pleas for money. He becomes like a pet dog. A pet dog does not think for itself, or hunt it's own food. Without it's master, the domesticated dog is likely to starve unless it's instincts should happen to kick in and it finds it's own food. The lower class tends to be like a pet to everyone else. Everyone cares about the homeless man begging for money on the street. But they still feel superior to him. Sometimes homeless people resort to stealing to feed themselves. Can we really blame them? Humans must eat to survive. Is it not instinct to find food so that one doesn't starve?

The existence of money is a major flaw in society. What purpose does money serve other then to isolate humans into groups? I'm not in favor of communism by any stretch of the imagination. Communism is still based on money. Once society can stop with all the killing, working towards the extinction of money should be considered. If there were no money, we would resort to our instincts. Everyone would get food one way or another. There would still be farmers, but the food that they farm would be free in every sense of the word. People would actually help everyone out. It wouldn't be possible for everyone to be lazy, because everyone would do what they enjoy. There would always have to be doctors, and they would have to provide healthcare to as many people as possible. If they didn't, people would start dying and illness would spread. But if that's what happens, so be it. The human race probably won't go extinct very quickly. Say it does, what's the problem with that? There's way more to the world, the universe even, then just us humans. Whether or not there really is a higher power, or a God of some sort, we can't expect to have control over everything. Nothing is random, but all the while nothing is predetermined.

Money leads to nothing but problems. If there was no money, and no-one thought of anyone as being more important then anyone else, but everyone still had free will, society would in my opinion excel. It's hard to believe a society without money would work, or be possible to start at this point, but it really is. All the infrastructure is already built. There are already farms everywhere. The moment money becomes obsolete, those with large amounts of money will have no power. The government will be powerless. There will be no reason to kill or do harm onto others. The homeless and starving will be fed. The ill who cannot afford healthcare will be cared for. Society needs to wake up, and learn that money is a burden to society.

Well, the talk box was originally just used to add a cool effect to one's voice. For example, Zapp - I can make you dance:

I've made dynocharts before, it's quite easy. You just have to use a replay analyzer to output a csv, and then import it into your favorite spreadsheet or graphing application and calculate the torque from the longitudinal tire force. You could also derive the power directly from certain values in the data, but that's more difficult and I don't know how.

Quote from Scott Mckenzie :Karma works in many ways.

Do you mean the over-simplified western "what goes around comes around" concept that doesn't accurately represent the Buddhist concept of Karma?

Quote from Scott Mckenzie :This is what we call a knee jerk reaction. I waited until I had calmed down to make my comment. Maybe you should take those comments with a pinch of salt.

But what if people were to act on their knee-jerk reaction and actually harm someone? Then should their actions be taken with a pinch of salt too?

Quote from The Very End :An in-human way to kill anything, is when it suffers pain and not dies swift.

No-one who is alive has ever experienced death, so therefore how is it possible to determine what is a humane or in-humane method of killing. The fact that it's not possible to tell whether a method of killing is humane or in-humane is a good enough reason for me to not want to kill or harm any living things in general. But of course the paradox of my statement is that I'm not vegetarian. I may consider becoming vegetarian though, after thinking about it lol

Quote from chrissawyer21 : I havent seen any of the creators stateing or hinting that S3 will consist of one car and one track along with a physics update... i may be wrong..

Well, regardless, physics and graphics updates are free. It doesn't matter if you're a Demo racer, S1, S2, or S3 license, you still get updated physics and other features for free. So I don't really see what the big deal is.

I honestly am concerned by the vast amount of comments that say "they should die," etc. How is your violence against them any better than their violence against the animals?

Whilst I disagree with how the animals are treated in this video, I do not agree with shooting the people who have done it. Just because violence just tends to escalate things. If everyone followed the saying "an eye for an eye," then there would be many blind people!

Quote from Byku :Guys... it's not THAT difficult to change gear without the shift light . Imo it's a good idea to remove it .

It's not that I need or want a shift light to help me, it's just that I've seen it on cars from that era.

Quote from BreadC :rev counter yes.. shift light.. no

How can you tell me that I'm wrong about what I have seen with my own eyes? Can you see what I see through my eyes? I guess that "Remote Viewing" BS is real!

Anyway. The vehicles that I've been in that had shift lights were a Saturn S-series (Mine is an automatic but i've been in two manual trans ones), a 1997 Honda Civic HX, and a 1999 Chevy S10.

Quote from ATHome :The cars in LFS are more or less based on cars from the mid 90s, and back then, it was quite rare to have a car with shift light.

Every 1993+ car I've been in that has a manual transmission has had a shift light oddly enough.
