"Basic food and shelter"? A prison isn't a B&B. It's about taking away someone's freedom, and that causes suffering. If that suffering is your sole goal of imprisonment, then your view of punishment is a bit... outdated.
I'm still wondering how you can concede that abuse is barbaric, but maintain that execution is not.
Didn't look like personal abuse to me. More like non-personal irony. (Unless you hate to get coffee in your sinuses )
You have an Internet connection, right? Then why don't you read up on the subject, before airing easy opinions like the one above? For once, this subject is about life or death. Give it some serious thought. (At the very least, when it's election time).
LFS cannot generate an RAF file from an MPR replay.
An MPR file contains samples of a car's data at a low frequency. (Four times per second, I think.) All the smoothness that you see when viewing the replay is because LFS "guesses" the intermediate states. Theoretically you could write these states to an RAF file, but the data will be full of artifacts (= weird). It won't be very useful for analysis.
I don't say this lightly, but the licence lookup page is brilliant! Almost makes me feel obliged to wear a leather helmet and goggles when playing LFS. (And to tweak that picture so I'm driving the Ferrari.)
It's a shame that Logitech only make one type of G25. They oughta make special editions of the G25 with, erm... racey stripes! Yes, green metallic stripes. And extra blingy LEDs, and blue neon lights around the pedals. And alligator skin on the wheel. And lots of chrome, and...
Is it possible to add the distance (or 'track ruler measurement') to the IS_NLP or IS_MCI packet?
I'd like to extend LRA with a possibility to capture laps as they're driven (or replayed). I know the packets contain the node and the car coordinates, but for a good comparison with laps from RAF files I need the distance.
Except that statistics is a tricky subject, and some people really suck with mathematics.
(EDIT: sorry, make that most people.)
Last week in the UK, a terrorist plot was foiled. The planners were all medics. Now, will you be afraid next time you visit a doctor? Not even one bit? Why not?
I don't agree. Non-smokers have gained a liberty: the freedom to enjoy a drink or a meal in a place that doesn't stink.
Before the ban, non-smokers had the "choice" to either put up & shut up, or to stay at home. The standards had been set by smokers when they were in the majority. The owners of pubs and restaurants would not risk losing the clients they had, in order to win the clients they didn't have.
It might be disputable whether the effects of indirect smoking, the addictiveness, or the cost of health care really warrant a ban. But I'm still in favour of a ban, because for me the smell of smoke has too often spoiled a fine meal, and has made me wary of visiting a restaurant. I'm looking forward to the day when smoking will be as socially acceptable as farting.
Yeah, right. His next job will be out of the spotlights, but no doubt with a handsome income. The Bush administration will have to show its gratitude to him for taking the blame. (And it's probably part of a package deal that Libby made with Cheney and Bush.) A few years later, when the public has forgotten about it, he can resume his career.
Heh, I didn't mention them because they are so 'standard' for me. They are popular here in the Netherlands. At home we have 6 DVDs with Pat & Mat sketches. My kids (4 and 6 years old) love them, and so do I.
Lap1, the complex after the S/F straight:
You rear-end someone, because you don't expect the pack to slow down when they go side-by-side through the turns. After the bump you don't slow down, but try to jump the pack by going on the grass.
Lap1, the 90 degree turn before the back straight:
You try to pass someone on the inside, although you're too late to get overlap. Your tires block and you go wide. You're lucky not to take out someone else.
Lap1, the chicane:
You approach the chicane going 100% side-by-side with an XRT. But you don't leave room and push the XRT into the barrier.
Lap1, the 180 degree turn before the S/F straight:
You are behind the XRT, but when the exit comes into sight you try to pass on the inside. There is no room there, because the XRT has hit the apex fairly well. Another push.
Lap2, the complex:
You pass the FXO at the entry of the first bend. The pass is almost clean but not quite: you miss the apex and another bump follows.
That's 5 incidents caused by you within one lap. You score an average of 1 incident per turn.
The last incident looks the least serious of the 5, but by then the other drivers were probably too fed up with your driving...
