I was caught
In the middle of a railroad track (Thunder)
I looked 'round,
And I knew there was no turning back (Thunder)
My mind raced
And I thought what could I do? (Thunder)
And I knew
There was no help, no help from you (Thunder)
Sound of the drums
Beatin' in my heart
The thunder of guns!
Tore me apart
You've been - thunderstruck!

The poster above actually IS a spambot, as stunning as it may look. Zak, please delete the account, and all posts if possible... 

Indeed a linear race, with not big cuts or jumps... You're talking about a trick, but... really I don't see it...      Wow, 4 months without a race and... are you saying I lost in a so bad way my shape...?

No way, Mark - I did really mean it when I said I can't pull off the trick I saw! 

Then send your partially finished files to Rotoi, I'm sure they will be useful as a starting point at least. And please send the VW bus shape to me too, as one of these days I still have to try my hands at the JTK-mobile 

I know one trick - one I can't pull off 

Just upgraded to DOSBox 0.73. Aspect ratio in Stunts is now 4:3 using the new svga_s3 graphics mode (default out of the box).

Oh, that is very good, thanks for making us aware! But it also means there will be a bugfix release for Skyline soon - I can't accept that 90% of the users will have it as tall as a Hummer...

The "taking two minutes to start Firefox" thing was the norm with my old (pre-May 2007) computer, but that was just because it had too little (256MB) memory for what I was trying to run. Don't know if that might be your case, but memory usage minimization is the first thing I would try in such a situation.

Someone who has the time should go and advertise Stunts competitions here:

Well, I had been looking for a retro-gaming enthusiasts community (and not just a download site or something like that) for a while, this one seems to fit  You can see my "evangelism" post here: http://oldgamersclan.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=59876&view=unread#unread

All subjects are, on their own, wonderfully interesting. The problems only begin when you are obliged to study them...

But computional chemistry REALLY sucks.

You mean the "not real Chemistry" thing? yes, I've been there before  But on the other hand we work alongside and interoperate with several Raman spectroscopists, so the situation is not completely distant from what you mention (even if the perspective is mostly physico-chemical rather than analytical).

Right now I'm studying for a Quantum Chemistry I test - particles-in-boxes, harmonic oscillators and all that jazz. Only problem is the professor has just moved the exam from tomorrow afternoon to tomorrow morning as one of the pupils had an unavoidable time schedule conflict (we are only four in the class), but to a time which another of the guys won't be able to come as well...  and so we currently have no clue on when the test will be actually held at this moment 

This homebrew project called JumpWorks is arguably the most stunning strict remake I've seen to date:

Unfortunately, there seem to be no news on this project, and although the developer keeps an active blog (not this particular topic, but others are still regularly updated) for some technical reason I was unable to leave a comment there.

I had been wondering about what we could put instead of the sunflower at the top left corner, and eventually came with this design:



How do you like it? If Zak approves of it, its activation is done by adding the line

Code Select Expand

$wgLogo = 'http://wiki.stunts.hu/images/4/4b/Wikilogo.png';
to LocalSettings.php .

Got to test it a little further, as you can see by the strange tagging on the latest songs in my last.fm sig... For the moment I find it a bit awkward (too much to do at the same time, above all while listening to music) but I won't give up too easily, so odds are we'll meet there eventually 

The demands of his trade... good to hear from him again, and sort of funny to see him signing as "Chris"...
