This is a disaster. I worshipped the guy, both his driving and also the way he went about living life. That his son is gone too is incomprehensible.

A real tragedy.

I'm now having the exact same problem. Anyone know how to fix this?

Before you start whingeing about "cheaters" maybe you should address the fact that your star player kicked a guy in the nuts!

Quote from XCNuse :

i decided to.. change mine up a touch, i haven't done anything with wallpaper, i kinda like the OS X wallpaper so i might keep it

only thing bugging me, is it slightly slows down my computer (well.. cuts my FPS in half in LFS, not sure why yet)

as for the my computer on bottom right.. the dumb thing wont go away, its even unchecked in display in control files, and even unchecked in TweakUI, so .. i dont know

..i think its the blinds that are shattering my FPS.. owell, thats easy enough to turn off, keep moving my mouse to bottom though, takes a slight while to get used to it

(as for the song being played in itunes... nothing beats it)

you could set up a 'gamer' user account and only install games there. That's how I have my pc set up and it works well. I can use WB on my regular account no problem.

Quote from Racer Y :

Uh... I'm not for or against illegal immigration. I know alot about it and how it works or is supposed to work here. After 9/11 things got totally screwed up.
Also, I think the last time we "bombed" ANY one in Latin America was when
the US Army was chasing Pancho Villa. I think that was the first time in history an Aircraft was used in combat. They used machine guns though...

I live in a Mexican Neighborhood. If you realized how much these people actually pump money into the economy, both here and at home, you'd realize they are needed here. But after the border tightening and the economy in some sort of recession, all the jobs "lazy Americans" won't do (yeah right.. not lazy - Needs to be $$$ to pay bills here folks) are kinda full up and the flow of immigrants IN to the country has done nothing but increase. I have nothing against 'Johnny Foreigner'. Most of those people are some of the best people you'll ever meet, but there's gotta be limits.

Oh, Do y'all ever see guys with M-13 tattooed on their foreheads in that tunnel?

This is very true of course. The USA doesn't need to bomb it's neighbours. Your grossly unfair economic policies achieve essentially the same results. And you still get to go to the beach.

Sakchai was released on bail this morning! Thanks to all who helped. Now of course, the real fight begins.

A 350Watt PSU isn't leaving a lot of headroom IMHO. On the same site I found this - http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/103064

It looks a tad gimmicky but the 500Watt PSU will come in handy.

Oh, you definitely need more RAM. 1MB is more than enough for LFS.

No offence guys but I started this thread in the hope that we could maybe help someone in a bad situation. It was not meant to be turned into a rant about 'Johnny Foreigner'.

Maybe if we stopped bombing the shit out of other countries people wouldn't feel the need to run to somewhere else. Just a thought.

He isn't an illegal immigrant. He is a foreign national who has managed to get a criminal record. There is a difference.

Quote from sgt.flippy :

I think deportation is something good. And about him being a model citizen... Well, to be honest, it's the ones that seem to be the most trustworthy, are the least.
Over here they have just tried to make a contract with Marocco, to deport all Maroccan prisoners here in Belgium, back to Marocco. Especially the ones wich have no real connection to Belgium.

So as far as I'm concerned, deportion is good. And I would like to know what this crime was, maybe then it would make more sense why they want to deport him.

Okay, so it was fire raising... That's rather serious, don't you think? It's not like you really do that per accident. I don't know the whole story, but I doubt it was an accident.

*p.s. I don't know if Marocco is written like that in English, but I hope you guys know wich country I mean*

Yes it was a serious crime. However, he's done his time. He was released more than two years ago and has since won athletics medals for his island and his country. His employer prior to his crime took him back after he'd served his time. Would your employer do that for you? He speaks absolutely no Thai. What would be gained by his deportation? Can someone be punished ad infinitum for the same crime?

Hi folks. I hope nobody minds me being serious for a moment here but this needs to be addressed.

In the early hours of Tuesday Sakchai Makao was dragged from his home in Shetland and transported to the Scottish mainland and then on to Durham Prison where he is currently being held. Sakchai commited a crime in 2002 and was found guilty. He served his time and was released in 2004, since when he has proved to be a model citizen. Sakchai was born in Thailand but has lived in the Shetlands since he was 14. He is now 23. He only speaks English. He has no family nor any other connections in Thailand. There's a damn good chance that on his arrival he will be immediately conscripted into the Thai army! At present he works for the Shetland Isles council, who were his employers before he commited his crime! That says something! He is a keen athlete and has won medals representing Shetland & Scotland. This boy deserves a break!

This is all clearly an attempt for the UK Government to appear to be in control. Most of us know they are not. I cannot, for the life of me, see what good can be achieved by his deportation.

Here's a link to the BBC news story - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/north_east/5055418.stm

Here's another link to an online petition set up by his fellow Islanders - http://www.shetlink.com/module ... ;file=viewtopic&t=850

I know a lot of you folks are fair-minded decent people and I fervently hope some of you will read the story and make the effort to join the petition. There has to be some justice in this world.

BTW - I'm sorry for all the exclamation marks and will refrain from their use in future.

Fifth Gear is produced for Channel 5 in the UK. Some of the Fifth Gear presenters were Top Gear (BBC) presenters in a previous life. That's the connection. Fifth Gear tends to lean towards more real world cars whereas Top Gear c**s over Veyrons. Take your pick. One crucial difference is that the presenters of Fifth Gear are all former racers themselves so I put more stock in their opinions regarding drivability. Top Gear focuses on style over substance.

About that protective cover - you realize only sado's leave it on don't you?

Quote from Daveebee :

What frustrates me is that the sports governing body,the FIA seems to let him get away with little or no punishment so often. Max Mosley said he would not say that Schumacher was 'cheating' but still relegated him to the back of the grid.If MSC was not cheating, why was he relegated and if he did cheat he should have been disqualified from the race.

Absolutely spot on! I'd have banned him for two races.

I wouldn't mind the money for your car but I'd much rather own a GT3.

If I ever win the Lottery I expect to be seeing this view a lot.

Michael Schumacher is undoubtedly a great driver but in this instance, as in others, after making a driver error his immediate instinctive thought was to capitalize on it. Some of us still call that cheating.

Quote from mrfell :

Even if he was put to the back of the grid, he would still go out and WIN, such is the incredible talent of the bloke, but its things like this that annoy me about him so much.

You're having a laugh, right? illepall

The real giveaway was when, during his interview, he seemed unsure as to the name of the corner. Nonsense! He was clearly lying. Ask any psychologist. illepall

Have you re-calibrated the wheel in-game?
