Yeah, I've tried that, and it was still the same. Although, I did only give it a quick glance, maybe when I'll have more time on my hands, I'll play with it a bit more.

Looks nice.
But that it drops my fps from 300-500 to 30-50 is just hilarious.
Anyway, it's not that useful for me, as it blurs the whole dashboard, I kinda need that when racing.

Quote from sarxes :Or if you have a router at home you should put the IP adress in router so you dont have to put in firewall because the router block faster then the firewall. Ex if you have a D-Link router you type this http://192.168.0.1 in the web browser login as admin and there is a lot of option

Uhm, routers use firewalls + NAT rules to shape traffic on the network. So how can a router be faster than a firewall? :P

Most home routers don't provide an option to block incoming traffic based on source address. Unless you're using something like a Linksys WRT54GL with a modded firmware(dd-wrt i.e.), that you can then ssh in to and write your own iptables rules, I don't think blocking traffic on the router will provide you with much help.

Well, then again, Windoze firewall just sucks for such operations, so I'd suggest you either, find a software firewall for your Windoze machine that can block traffic based on source address, buy a router that is compatible with dd-wrt firmware(or any other that can provide such functionality), or dust of your pre-historic computer and install m0n0wall(i.e.) on it and use it as a router. :P

Quote from Cornys :Cargame.nl used to be good for TBO races as well, but TBO is hardly ever used there now either (not good to have faster cars blowing by you all the time either )

Well, I've been driving there for the past 3 nights again, and there was always someone in the TBO+LX4 class there.
I've tried to race with the NGTs, but nothing beats the fun of a proper LX4 race.

Sorry, was too busy yesterday, so, the color tones.

I was thinking, use a slightly lighter blue tone on where the original has that dark blue, almost black part, like: #121d5f
Or maybe a dark red: #660000
If it's not much to you, try out both, if not, just go with blue.

Leave white areas as they are, as for the parts where the helmet is red, I'd use a light blue color, like: #3566d5

All colors are in HEX. If you want I can provide them in RGB or any other form.

This looks epic. A lot better than my tries.

I'm currently at work, but I'll provide some color tones tonight when I get home.

Quote from JazzOn :happens to the best

this design should be doable. I ssume you dont need these stickers?
If you have any picture of things you like or would like to have added, dont hesitate to put them in.

However, I can do this and will post it next weekend probably. or during the week or so

No, I'd much rather see the helmet without the original stickers, maybe even a color change if possible.
I'm much more fond of blue/white combinations, or maybe a darker red. Your call.

As for stickers, I'll think about it and let you know. If I can't come up with anything, I suppose you can give me permission to add stickers on my own, for my own use ofc.?

And thanks for your time!

Quote from Bose321 :If you mess up the config, or enter something wrong, Windows will execute your wrongly entered config. Read: it does what you do wrong. What's there not to understand? It's witty to blame the OS for screwing stuff up yourself. Obviously just talking in a theoretical form.

Okay.
Then look at it this way.
You have a puncture and you mess up attaching the reserve tyre and the car doesn't start. Logic?

IIS is a web server, it's suppose to sit there, wait for requests and answer to them over HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/WebDAV/...
It's not suppose to mess up the whole networking of the whole system.

Quote from stan.distortion :When screwing around with core parts of the system I agree but not when screwing around with user space applications running on that system.

That's the problem with M$. A lot of their crap isn't in user space, it's really closely linked to kernel space.
On a *nix system you can mess up the apache code i.e. beyond recognition, and the system would still work, apache wouldn't obviously. But mess up config on IIS, and Windows doesn't work anymore(well it did, just nothing network related). Where is the logic in that.

@E.Reiljans: it's quite obvious you're a just a forum troll. Done arguing with you.

Quote from E.Reiljans :You did it wrong, obviously.

Yes because the process is that complicated.
Create certificate, sign it, enable and require SSL connection. Rocket science.
But no matter how you mess it up under no condition should an application cripple the whole OS. And even if I messed the whole IIS up.

I've done such things quite a lot on apache, the worst that came out that the virtual domain wasn't working. Shocking.

And the dependencies for certain packages are not up to software maintainers, but distro maintainers.
You can clearly download PHP source code and compile it without apache, as long as you have installed the required dependencies.

Quote from E.Reiljans :YesDunno, maybe by not having straight hands?

Well actually I just turned on SSL on two different applications.

And thanks to Apache you can now run a single web server for multiple websites. The big company M$ didn't have that in their precious IIS.

Quote from E.Reiljans :I said realtek, not ralink. modprobe rtl8187se.

Oh, sorry, miss-read that then.

Quote from E.Reiljans :That wasn't hard.. but it's not intuitive. Intuitively, one should just apt-get install php5 to get php5, and he shouldn't get a freaking webserver (and a crappy one, at that) bundled with it.

Apache is crappy?
Tell me then, how did I manage to mess up IIS so hard, that Windoze Server didn't even boot-up anymore?

Quote from E.Reiljans :Facts.
Stock kernel.

Vanilla kernel doesn't hold the ralink chip driver.
And I've installed like a zillion of rt* drivers as modules, some crashed, never received a kernel panic. Like I said, only received a kernel panic when recompiling the kernel, which is way out of normal usage specs.

Quote from E.Reiljans :That works in theory, but doesn't in practice. When I was using Linux on my netbook, I was getting kernel panics thanks to gay realtek wifi driver every now and then.

Liez!

I've only seen a kernel panic when I messed up kernel recompile.

Quote from E.Reiljans :Yeah, everyone totally wants un-certified drivers (read: BSOD's) in their systems.

Messed up OS design if you ask me.
A bad sound driver on a unix or unix based OS only crashes the sound driver/server/whatever.

And M$ did something to prevent BSODs. They're not showing them by default, but just simply reboot the whole system. So then you have to go digging through the logs, or turn on the BSOD thingy, and hope that the error springs up some time soon again.

Quote from E.Reiljans :Does Slackware even has a package manager w/ central repository support?

slackpkg, sbopkg(slackbuilds),...
Do you need anything better? slackpkg has only officially supported packages, sbopkg, which is only a frontend for easier package management of slackbuilds, holds almost everything else.

I've upgraded the whole OS with slackpkg alone and it's not even that hard, considering you know how to read and follow a few lines.

Quote from MadCatX :That's probably right, but hardware compatibility doesn't imply user friendliness. We surely could take this discussion to the next level and argue what the "user friendliness" actually is. Where I consider Windows getting in the way, others may think it helps them figure out what's wrong and how to get things fixed.

Well, user friendliness. To me this means that it's simple and easy to use.
Okay, some dirstros aren't exactly user friendly designed, like i.e. LFS(Linux From Scratch), Slackware etc.
But then again, you have stupidly easy to use distros, like Ubuntu(which I am no fan of). But smack me if I'm wrong, it doesn't get much easier than one-click installing apps and I don't know what else.
The only thing not "user friendly" about Linux is the lacking support of some hardware, although this has improved much in the past few years. And I think this could also count into user friendliness, because it is not really user friendly that you have to spend several hours hunting and compiling drivers. But then again, if i.e. RedHat(yes, again), would ship their OS pre-installed specific hardware, I am certainly sure that it wouldn't have hardware/driver issues, just like Mac doesn't have hardware/driver issues with their "own" hardware.

Quote :Does it even take care of 3rd party drivers for you?

It does not. Unless they are "M$ certified drivers" or "M$ signed drivers", forgot how they call them.

Quote :Does any Loonix's package manager get the latest version of software you have ./configure && make && make install'ed?

And slackbuilds do this too.
sbopkg downloads the sourcecode and the slackbuild script, unpacks the source, compiles the code and installs it as well.

Quote from MadCatX :- The MacOS X is the only 100 % user-friendly UNIX-based OS? That's something an IT professional might find really useful.

Ehm...BS?

If RedHat/Debian/Slackware/Mandriva/(any other distro you prefer) were selling the hardware with their distro pre-installed, those too would be 100% user friendly. And since they're not, they're doing a pretty damn good job at being user friendly just as they are.

I don't consider my self exactly a pro, although I am an sysadmin by profession, but I never really had any major problems with *BSD or Slackware or it's KISS principles.

Quote from MadCatX :- The OS is specifically tweaked to work with the HW found in Macs meaning better battery life, instant sleeping/resuming, no hassle with the drivers

Read above.

Quote from MadCatX :- Quality of the displays found in MacBooks

Because we're all using our laptops outside in the brightest sun and tend to be upside-down in a weird angle while using our computers and this is very important to us.

In my eyes, 3 weak arguments on why I should buy a piece of hardware at 1.5x the price.

Quote from MadCatX :- Lots of other little things you'd learn just by reading this thread

tl;dr
It's just a typical Mac vs PC thread as it seems, but since you started bashing my beloved unix-based linux, I had to stop by.

It's pointless to fight with mac fan boys guys. Just give it up, let everybody use what they prefer, and the world becomes a better place to live.

One fact still stands and stays the same. I would take just too much time to port LFS to another platform or even make it cross-platform.

Quote from Matrixi :Then you can bootcamp it, if you think the five extra FPS are worth the hassle.

Still not native. It's not just about the games, it's about lot of other application. I just used LFS as in more of a joke. Hence the smiley.

Quote from Matrixi :...

No matter how you turn it, or how you praise it, it's still overpriced.
Yes the price contains the price of the OSX. But so do other computer contain the price of Windoze. So for me a weak argument.
And even if OSX is more expensive, you're actually paying more for and OS that can actually do less? I mean, if I'll have to run some Bootcamp or a VM for every other application I want to run, I don't want to pay for such OS. It's like if you bought a super cool car and you'd need a tow truck every time you want to go with it to the store i.e.

I've used Macs before as well, they never impressed me so much that I would actually buy it, because I still see them as pointless toys for people who need something to show to the others how much money they have so they can afford the largest, the best and the most expensive Mac there is on the market atm.

And the argument how you can change internal components in a moment without touching any wires. Really? So now we're buying computers for changing stuff all the time, or using them?
I've never actually opened up a Mac laptop, but I must admit, some HP notebooks are complete and utter crap when it comes to design. Basically because you have to disassemble the whole damn thing before you even get to see the heat sink.

And don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan in M$ or any of their crap either. i just use Windoze for LFS and work, basically because we're developing in .NET.
I'm also not an Apple hatter, it's just my personal view on their computers.
I've been now using and abusing Linux and *BSD for about 10+ years. Usually I just sit back and watch these Winblows/MacOSX fights.
