| 01:42 | <BenMillard> | gsnedders, Free Run in GT Mode around Circuit de la Sarthe I with Bentley Speed 8, my own setup but normal turbo, RSH/RSH: 3:15 :) |
| 01:44 | <BenMillard> | gsnedders, overdriving he car and braking too late is where I was losing time |
| 01:44 | <BenMillard> | gsnedders, that's my fastest ever lap of that track with that car in Free Run |
| 01:46 | <BenMillard> | gsnedders, all driving aids at 0; tall but close gearing; low but not minimum ride height; max downforce |
| 03:04 | <BenMillard> | Hixie, my 2008 collection now has <code> markup in the descriptions to make them a bit more legible: http://projectcerbera.com/web/study/2008/collection |
| 03:05 | <BenMillard> | about 100 entries still need notes or categorisation or both |
| 03:06 | <BenMillard> | and then I'll summarise each category |
| 03:10 | weinig|away | |
| 03:10 | <weinig|away> | oops |
| 10:33 | <gsnedders> | BenMillard: max downforce round there!? |
| 10:33 | <gsnedders> | BenMillard: maybe max at front, but should be nowhere near at rear |
| 12:19 | <Lachy> | Does IE8 have support for <canvas> yet? |
| 12:40 | <Lachy> | JohnResig, yt? |
| 12:54 | <gsnedders> | Lachy: no |
| 13:17 | <Lachy> | Does Firefox 3.1 alpha support selectors api? I'm trying to download it to test it and find out, but my download speed has just been throttled to 64kbps for exceeding the bandwidth usage cap :-( |
| 13:18 | <Lachy> | that's the one thing that seriously sucks about Australian ISPs |
| 13:19 | <erlehmann_> | lol |
| 13:29 | <Lachy> | nevermind, it finished downloading and it does support it |
| 13:41 | <gsnedders> | Time to try and duplicate GT4 disk |
| 13:42 | <gsnedders> | (the original is scratched, and although it can be read, it can be very slow to read) |
| 14:08 | <erlehmann> | is the green question mark the official whatwg logo ? |
| 14:13 | <annevk2> | it's the WHATWG logo |
| 14:29 | <annevk2> | hmm, it's not really clear to me how to let XMLHttpRequest use the event loops concept |
| 14:31 | <annevk2> | the events all fire synchronously in XMLHttpRequest Level 1 |
| 14:32 | <annevk2> | Hixie, if you could provide some help with that at some point that'd be nice |
| 14:42 | <BenMillard> | gsnedders, just use a scratch removal kit to polish them out |
| 14:44 | <gsnedders> | BenMillard: That has thus far failed |
| 14:45 | <erlehmann> | BenMillard: your list is funny, kudos ! |
| 14:45 | <BenMillard> | gsnedders, oh right...I guess they must be really deep |
| 14:49 | <BenMillard> | gsnedders, do other games run fine? the lense may be dirty |
| 14:49 | <gsnedders> | The DVD drive is generally broken, it is what scratched it in the first place |
| 14:49 | <BenMillard> | gsnedders, d'oh! :( |
| 14:50 | jcranmer | notes that his disc 2 of Legend of Dragoon hangs in one place reliably |
| 14:50 | <gsnedders> | I wish Sony released a PS3 with full backwards compat. :) |
| 14:50 | <gsnedders> | * :( |
| 14:51 | <jcranmer> | I wish Sony released a PS3 that could save PS1 and PS2 games to PS3 cards |
| 14:52 | <gsnedders> | (The annoying thing is they did — just only for NTSC) |
| 15:00 | <Philip`> | gsnedders: Instead of a PS3, why not just buy a new PS2? They're not really that expensive :-) |
| 15:01 | Philip` | wishes the Microsoft Incremental Linker didn't keep crashing |
| 15:27 | <mcarter> | hello |
| 15:27 | <mcarter> | Hixie, you around? |
| 16:13 | <gsnedders> | Philip`: Too expensive to just replace something I already have that sorta works |
| 16:14 | <Philip`> | gsnedders: But buying a PS3 (if it had proper backward compatibility) would be even more expensive |
| 16:14 | <gsnedders> | Philip`: But would give me something I didn't already have |
| 16:14 | <Philip`> | gsnedders: Then get a PS2 plus a 360 :-) |
| 16:14 | <gsnedders> | Philip`: I already have a 360 |
| 16:14 | <gsnedders> | :P |
| 16:15 | <Philip`> | gsnedders: Oh, then you already have the ability to play wondrous next-gen games, and few are platform-exclusive nowadays, so you wouldn't be getting any new capabilities if you got a PS3, so you might as well just get a new PS2 instead :-) |
| 16:15 | <gsnedders> | Philip`: GT5! :P |
| 16:16 | <Philip`> | gsnedders: There are plenty of other games with cars racing around tracks that you could play instead :-p |
| 16:17 | <gsnedders> | Philip`: A fairly small number of good sims |
| 16:17 | <Philip`> | and all racing games are the same, really |
| 16:17 | <Philip`> | except for Wacky Wheels which was great because you got powerups by running over hedgehogs |
| 16:17 | <gsnedders> | :P |
| 16:17 | <takkaria> | Burnout is pretty awesome |
| 16:18 | <gsnedders> | Burnout is pretty awesome. But cross platform so I can already get it. |
| 16:18 | <Philip`> | http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/wacky-wheels/screenshots/gameShotId,223326/ - yay, hedgehog |
| 16:19 | <takkaria> | I just wanted to mention it, really, since I think everyone should play it |
| 16:19 | <gsnedders> | I wonder what Forza 3 will be like |
| 16:19 | gsnedders | hopes it has tracks like Le Mans and Spa |
| 16:36 | <erlehmann> | MIcrs Machines ! |
| 17:05 | <jgraham> | Have fun at TPAC everyone |
| 17:05 | jgraham | is about to go away |
| 17:05 | <gsnedders> | jgraham: Have fun too |
| 17:06 | <jgraham> | Try not to let TAG/PFWG/HTMLWG/other people's video games abilities (delete as appropriate) get you down |
| 17:06 | <jgraham> | gsnedders: Thanks :) |
| 20:11 | <Hixie> | annevk2: if everything is synchronous, then there's no need for any event loop stuff. but i thought there was asynchronous stuff, otherwise why would we have an "asynchronou" flag? |
