Quote from nihil :

One person dies every 13 seconds anyway, whatever the cause.

Incorrect, 2 people die every second. And 5 people are born every second.

String theory poses the possibility of somehow "controlling the future" with our own thoughts. It's basically energy controlling energy, and the universe would be slightly different for different people because of different choices and thoughts they would have made.

Edit: Just noticed that only JTbo has been here longer than me of people in this thread... illepall

Didn't get to throw grenades in the army (only the concrete versions), but technically, even if the pin is taken off, it's safe as long as the handle is not flying away - which is what happened on that video at the first pop, timer setting on and stuff. He's just a n00b showing off.

Yay, something I've said is now immortal

Quote from Sky Gordon :

But still, in this particular case I would have preferred the LFS type of damage modelling ;-)

The flight to the moon and continuous spinning for a minute?

Here's some almost forgotten good battles from the last years:

What the story doesn't tell though, is that the actual race was quite dull until that point

Quote from JTbo :

Mario Kart is crap

Hey, Mario Kart is better than LFS and rFactor combined

I can hear gear whine clearly in my '90 Fiat Uno. Also in our Opel Astra, you can't hear it while driving, but when doing some engine braking by switching down gears, you can hear it a little bit.

I don't hear the kerb sounds everyone talks about and that I have been waiting for since pre-S1 times

Quote from BWX232 :

We still need more control over the LEVELS of ALL the different sounds.. Due to different hardware (Sound cards mainly, speakers too though) some sounds do NOT come through at all or so very quiet that you cannot hear them.

I don't agree with this... The sounds should be set to a standard "perfect" level ingame, and it's up to the user if he wants to tweak his sound system another way, not ingame. What I mean is about every soundcard nowadays comes with an equalizer, and if you adjust its settings accordingly to your hardware, you won't need to adjust any game settings.

Just noticed, we seem to have a starter sound now too

Oh yes, forgot to ask - are the gear whine sounds generated on-the-fly, or are they sampled?

Oh yes, forgot to say - there still isn't a sound when you run over a kerb

(Ok, this is kind of an inside joke )

Quote from XCNuse :

its a step up i guess, gear whines shouldn't be heard in the more standard daily commute cars though thats for sure

I disagree with that one - I have quite a lot of gear noise even in my standard Fiat Uno 1.5

I love the new gear whines and stuff, but the car engine notes have lost a lot of treble. It feels like having his head in a barrel. The LX6 sounds nice though.

But, I'm sure we will have the best sounds ever quite soon Keep up the good work!

I like the idea, if it's done like on this forum, so that you can choose whether to display the flag or not. That way everyone would be satisfied.

So it seems it's [skavier] like I pronounce it, or [skɛiviə] like the english-speaking community seems to like it.

Quote from Rubenz81 :

Diablo it's not an italian word and it's more likely to be addressed as masculine (il diablo not la diablo)

It's el diablo in spanish, which is masculine.

As the warning says, you can copy the key files from data/misc to the other computer, and they should be the same.

You can also simply write the resolution you want in the config file.

(Yay, a spam thread!)
Happy birthday Scawen! :birthday: :balloons:

The answer to that question lies here:

Sound when you drive over a kerb.
