Then do the math yourself. Or post a link to a page where it is done. You won't convince people by typing extra question marks.
This is typical of conspirationalist thinking: just bend every fact into the direction of your conclusion.
Q: If it was an inside job, why did they have to kill so many people?
A: Otherwise the world wouldn't be struck with terror.
Q: If it was an inside job, why didn't they kill more people?
A: The plotters have some compassion left.
Q: If it was an inside job, why did it look so much like a controlled demolition?
A: Because it is a controlled demolition.
Q: If it was an inside job, why didn't it look exactly like a controlled demolition?
A: Then the world would clearly see that it was a plot.
Furthermore, all that the conspiracy theorists do is shed doubt upon the "classical" explanation. I have not seen any positive proof, like "mission accomplished" messages to Bush, or confessions from someone who was in the plot. (Of course, that only proves what a cunning conspiracy it was. :rolleyes
So you believe that the molten metal was steel? And not another metal that melts easier, like zinc (from galvanized steel) or aluminum (widely used in any office building). Were the reported puddles of molten metal ever analyzed properly?
If you took the time to watch Zeitgeist, why not take some time to read Conspiracy Science, a website that tries to debunk the movie. Or just see where Google takes you if you search for "zeitgeist" and "debunk".
BTW, kudos for your stamina, watching the whole movie. I could barely stand it for 5 minutes. Then my propaganda detector sounded, my baloney detector went berserk, so I had to stop.
I got 4 (mistake in the last bar). Not bad, considering I've been staring at my monitor for a whole day, and the letters are dancing on my retina.
EDIT:
Worst scores are around 1400. Completely random (press "Score Test" immediately) gets you around 1000 points.
EDIT2:
Or is this a test of the quality of your monitor?

A big lottery here once advertised that its payback rate was 70%.
I can do better. I'll pay you back 75% of whatever money you enter. Guaranteed and fully legal.

It's not from one of the big French names of the day (Renault, Peugeot, Citroen, Simca).
Not a Citroen. Not an Opel GT (which isn't even French), though it is similar: small sports car, same era (late '60s - early '70s), and pop-up headlights.
The license plate is Californian, but apparently some Yanks do have taste. Um, i mean a taste for European cars.

I hear the CGI scenes of Tom Cruise smiling are awesome, too.
Another solution would be to let LFS convert replays into a portable, physics-independent replay format. The new format would not contain every detail from the car's physical state or the driver's input. It would be more like a movie, except that you can view the race from any angle you choose.
Apart from being independent of the LFS patch number, this would have some extra advantages:
- The portable format could be frame-based, making it easy to do smooth rewinding and scene selection. It would be a good tool for movie makers and race stewards.
- You could convert both SPR and MPR files to this format.
- You could let demo users view "licensed" races, without having to worry about cracks (because the conversion is one-way).

Correct, but it does require trombones, saxophones and white tuxedos.
That's why we all need strong legs, to help push the ground back down.
I think I'll wait until there's a Chrome add-on that hides ads served by Google.
Neither Ferrari nor Alfa, because it has a rear-mounted engine. (Proof: air scoop behind side window, big lid with metal clasps.)
Is that the Porsche logo on the side panel??

They are typical of the kind of jokes that you hear after some shocking event, like terroristic attacks or natural disasters. In fact, the one that lerts translated was an oldie: I heard it first when the Challenger space shuttle exploded.
Or this one:
Q: What did Al Gore do after he heard the death toll of 9/11?
A: He demanded a recount.
Zeugnimod said that BastianB didn't read the posts properly. (Which proves that you didn't read his post properly. Technically.)
It takes more than one person to ruin a thread: the one who goes OT, and the ones who react to him. You have heard about ignore lists, right?
No, it's you spouting ad hominem attacks.
I was sort-of offended by the joke, because it was disguised as a true story. I'm far from religious, but my first reaction was shock about a human suffering a terrible fate. It would have been a better laugh if it had started like "Johnny was hiking through the bush when he saw an elephant ..."
It was there. It did not start as a joke. The story was deliberately filled with made-up details, to make it sound like a true story. So much so that it needed debunking by Snopes.
Nope. There is an old joke (in several variations) about these 3 characters. Lerts only said he doesn't like the joke. I'm not going to repeat the joke here, Google can find them for you.
You must tell F1PerfView where you have LFS installed. You do this by opening the "View" menu in F1PerfView, selecting "Options". A dialogue window opens.
Select LFS as the primary sim. Click "Browse..." and go to the folder where LFS is installed.
It's not likely these options will come back. The aim of the devs is to create a realistic racing simulator. The cars are still manageable if you lift your right foot and watch the revs. It just takes a bit of training.
Most of the race cars in LFS have throttle cut on upshift. The only ones where you have to lift the throttle are the FBM and the MRT. The road cars don't have this, because they were modeled after saloon cars from the 90's, when the feature was uncommon.
Modern supercars have this, plus a bunch of other gadgets that help to keep reckless drivers on the road. If your aim is to go as fast as possible on public roads, but still be safe, that's OK. But the aim of a racing sim is to be better in controlling the car than your opponents, whatever the limitations of the car are. Even the underpowered, low-tech UF1000 allows for close, exciting racing.
The "brake help" option is still there AFAIK. It prevents total lock-up, but doesn't give you optimal braking. It's there to ease the learning curve. BTW, mouse drivers have the same problem of on/off braking, and they seem to manage well. However, it might take a bit more training than in many other sims.
Here is a Wikipedia article about overdrives, though that may not be what they were referring to.
Be sure to have the path to your LFS install configured in F1PerfView (menu View -> Options).
Lerts may have issues but so do you, Bastian. Can you please try honest criticism, instead of personal attacks? If not, just put lerts on your ignore list and you'll feel a lot better.
