News / Is Illegally Downloading A Movie Really Theft?
« on: August 08, 2014, 09:19:38 AM »
http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2014/08/is-illegally-downloading-a-movie-really-theft-and-who-should-pay-to-stop-piracy/

Downloading a movie free is NOT a theft.

I think this is a great article, worth reading, and it's not too long either. 
It also goes into why the ISPs shouldn't pay for it.

Here's the gist of it:
Quote
Theft is when you permanently deprive the owner of their property, like stealing a DVD from a shop. Once you’ve stolen it, it’s gone and the shopkeeper can’t sell it to someone else.

When you download an episode of Game of Thrones without paying for it, you’re infringing the copyright and committing a civil wrong, but you don’t stop the owners of GoT from selling another copy of the episode to a paying customer, such as me.

Thursday Nights fun racing / Re: Corvette fun run tonight

Sorry guys I was going to join but I nearly fell asleep in front of the telly...It seems waking up at 5am does no good to your evening racing exercises :)

1833
I had it happen a couple of times in practice, but I made my ride height something like 35/45 or maybe higher, and didn't have it since.
Zigzactly!  Raise the car if it bottoms out and your problems shall begone!

1834
Top job, I havent tried this car yet but will soon.
It's just a little bit different to the formula abarth.
...aaaand the understatement of the century award goes to this competitor, bravo!  :D

Wow.  Those cuts are not accidental.
It's amazing for me that someone would want to race in a league and would do this. 
I'm at a loss of words right now.   The immaturity of this behaviour is astounding.
Don't jump the gun. I'll talk to him.

Steering & brake failure? :)  I can't see any reasonable explanation otherwise. 
But it's your league, so I'll just pull my neck in ;)

Assetto Corsa / Re: New series & forum changes

Yes, you should be able to easily move the threads, just click the little right-arrow looking icon next to them.
But if it does not work, give me some reference (eg title) and I'll move them.

Assetto Corsa / New series & forum changes
« on: August 06, 2014, 09:03:15 AM »
Hello chaps, as you can see there's two new sub-forums here now.
All things regarding the tuesday nights - the main series - are now in the separate section. 
There's also this new, hopefully exciting section for Bruce to play with, that's the casing of the upcoming thursay nights fun series.

I'll leave the details to Bruce.

Let's have fun!

Why don't you post these as news items?  They are interesting & good looking.  Hell, far less have been made into "news", hehe :)

Race 2 should and would have been closer, Marty, but I've made a large amount of mistakes.  I should have been lapping in the low 46's but I've messed up nearly every other lap.   If it would have been like that, maybe I could have capitalised on your bottomings-out, too.   But you're way too fast, congrats.  I had a higher df setup, which served me well otherwise, but it prevented me overtaking you when you made that mistake.   Probably good as it is, I was too tired for a closer racing...altho maybe that was all I needed to keep more alert, who knows? ;)

It's a bit of a shame that I wasn't able to compete in race 1 at all I felt somewhat gutted.   But that's life.

Still, it was the weirdest thing I've ever seen, I could not join the server nor the TS as I've mentioned, but everything else seemed to be working...I've restarted the computer, restarted the modem, and it did not fix anything; it was as if my routing to these servers was completely borked - which is really weird in the case of the race server, as it's sitting in the Equinix datacenter I had (and always have) access to, otherwise.


1841
bugger I've just lost connection to the server & TS...but the net is on :/

Edit: this is uncanny.  I can't connect to these, even though they're in very different locations.  And everything else seems to be working...ffs!

1842
Yeah, really tough track especially with these cars. 
I've got 20 invalid laps & 10 spins for every proper hotlap.
But being that close to Guybrush is a nice warm and fuzzy feeling.  :)

1843
What have you found, guy, is it better to tiptoe around with a low-df set, or have a high-df and attack hard?  For me the high-df worked better.  Almost caught you :)

1844
He's using some curb but nothing major.  I can easily use the same amount. 
But also: watch his chicane exit, he had to counter-steer to keep it straight.  He's just a good driver, that's all, I guess :)

1845
I don't want anyone to complain about bumpy tracks in AC ever again  ;D
Nobody ever did.  It's the result of laser scanning and that's what gives the track a totally "real" feeling. :)
