Hollywood's special effects were already pretty good back then.
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...
Good idea, and very well done! 
I vote for driver B. He had time to see that C was alongside, and he could have left some more room (without loss of speed for himself).
Shouldn't there be a big hand in it, with a pointing index finger?

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.

"Mean anything"? In statistics, meaning and intention are completely irrelevant. Only the observable facts count.
Or maybe statistics play only a tiny role in how we (pre-)judge other people...
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.
Weather forecast: cloudy, with some very local smog.

I didn't know Kuwait had become the 51st state.
Or was that ironic?
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.
A compilation of short sketches works great. Very funny & entertaining.
Thanks!
Thanks!
The Audi team withdrew after having been lapped by a jogger.
I hope not!
Let's see...
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...
Some1 also made a beautiful Honda NSX for Racer...

U.S. Army's new take on patrolling high-risk Iraqi neighborhoods
Don't worry about electric/hybrid/hydrogen cars being not "sporty" enough. By the time fossil fuel gets too expensive you will have LFS S7, which will feel more real than reality itself, and where you can waste all the virtual fuel you want.
If global warming really breaks loose, the question will be: which energy source will power our boats?

This is typical for two kinds of mentality that exist, and that I've seen in every kind of sports I have done.
Some people take part because they like to measure themselves against their opponents. Above all, they want to have fun. And, equally important, they want the others to have fun too, so afterwards they can part as friends.
Some people take part because they like the challenge. Above all, they want to win. To finish first, they are prepared to use every trick that is allowed (and some tricks that aren't). There can only be one winner. If you lose, tough.
At the professional level of the sport you won't see the first type, because these folks are not willing to sacrifice the time and money that it takes to reach the top.
At the recreational level (which includes all of LFS, imho) you can see both types of people. And whenever they mix you may get sour faces. Each side will claim that the others don't have the right mentality.
Seems more like two proofs of gullibility.
Did you ever consider down-to earth explanations, or do you always prefer the supernatural?
