And the lesson, boys and girls is: if you cheat, you ruin it for everybody. Good way to solve it though - everybody wins, kinda.

Agreed about the Keyboard changing. The trackpoint is definitely an aquired taste. But once you get it, you realise that in many cases it's much more efficient to have to cursor control right underneath your fingertips att all times, without ever having to take your hands off the keyboard.

Are those sales figures for the Accord and Altima worldwide or US only? Not to minimise the incredible result from Tesla here, but it does look like they are comparing apples to orangutans.

@Alphasus I dunno tough. The IdeaPad line is so...to coin a word, consumery. I want my machines to last for years and years, with spill-proof keyboards, great typing experience and magnesium/carbon cases that can withstand someone accidentally sitting on them. Oh, and once you've gotten used to the trackpoint there really is no going back.

I wouldn't want to be in Stelrine's shoes when Fabien wakes up and has a good, long conversation with his dark side.

I was thinking of getting one of these: http://shop.lenovo.com/gb/en/laptops/thinkpad/yoga-series/ Even though the specs say that it is available with a dedicated GPU, it's only available with HD 520 graphics, which I was very disappointed about. I understand that KSP isn't very demanding of the GPU, but does anyone know whether this would hold back KSP performance at all? I'm especially concerned because Squad have mentioned that they really want to focus on the visuals with the next update, which will probably require more in the way of graphics processing power. By the way, I know that laptops can't play the game as well as desktops, and I'm not looking for anything other than a Thinkpad, for non-KSP reasons.

This is an unofficial easier-to-read and short version of the forum rules for those who find the official version difficult to understand. The official guidelines can be found here. The official version contains a lot of clarifications and explanations, so please look there before questioning anything, and please let me know if I can improve this summary in any way. 1. In general (1.2-1.5 & 5.2) Hopefully, these rules will help us all respect each other. If you don't obey the rules, you might get punished for it. If you try to get around a punishment, you will get permanently banned. 2. Messages and other text/links (2.1-2.2) No software piracy, politics, religion, adult stuff, racism or sexism. Don't be rude to anyone, and keep private messages private. No swearing or trying to get around the language filter. Don't accuse someone of anything unless you can prove it. Don't use links that earn someone money, like ad.fly, and no roleplay (here's the reason for that rule). (2.3-2.4) Make your posts meaningful: no “bump” or “like” messages or just sending reaction images. Don't deliberately annoy anyone or take the thread off topic, and never ask when the next version of KSP is going to be released (also applies to mods if someone has already asked). New threads should be started in the correct part of the forum, and all posts should be in plain English (unless it's in the “International” section). 2.5 Old threads You are allowed to post something meaningful in old threads, but remember that a lot of people don't like it. If someone else posts in an old thread, don't complain. 3 Moderators etc. (3.1-3.5) If you see anything wrong, press the “Report post” button at the top of the post instead of talking about it in the thread. Never pretend to be a moderator or to work for Squad, contact them outside the community in their private time or openly talk about their decisions to ban or punish etc. 4 Your account and personal information (4.1-4.4) Keep your account and personal information safe. You are only allowed to have one account and you must not share it with anyone. If you're younger than 18, don't post pictures of your face and don't tell anyone how old you are.

@Hobbes Novakoff I adjusted Finland in C2's favour, and Romania and Russia in KSP's favour.

Is this where we start talking about gravitational lensing again? In all seriousness, Hubble can't be pointed too close to the sun, so it's a valid concern.

Current score: KSP: 12431 (77%) C2: 3798 (23%) Adjusted for Finland and suspicious areas noted by @Hobbes Novakoff: KSP: 4514 (60%) C2: 2968 (40%)

@Starhawk, what you should be worried about is the anti-Kenlie who presumably knows they aren't armed.

Ooh this is really good. The buildup of tension is almost unbearable. I can't wait to see what Kenlie sees (dirt on the lens, I'm sure).

I'm really glad you like it! It's not perfect by any means, but I feel it does a reasonable job of capturing the beauty of the moment. Exposure was 30 seconds with the camera facing straight up, which means I was directly underneath the aurora in the north of Sweden at the time. What I couldn't capture on film was the majestic way in which it shimmered and danced across the sky. It actually stretched from one horizon to the other - truly a sight to behold.

Well I'm not planning on making money from it or anything like that, but I would prefer to keep the original to myself, in case I ever need to prove it's mine. Hope you don't mind. Here's a higher resolution for you: 1980 x 1280

I'm glad you liked it. I took the picture myself so I can send you a version in the size you need, if you like. What resolution is your desktop?

There was a geomagnetic storm the other night. Just thought some here might appreciate this. More recent pictures later in the thread

We can possibly conclude that the KSP community has a greater number of accomplished cheats

It's because of this:

OK Finland, own up. So if we discount the 8000 spam votes for KSP, I'd assume Construction 2 wins handily.

I'm calling shenanigans on one region in Finland having nearly 8000 votes, 100% of them for KSP, compared with less than 2500 total votes from the entire US.

I think what @max_creative might mean is that this appears to be a "replike" fishing thread where people give each other internet points for no apparent reason. I appreciate that it wasn't the intention of the thread, but it's hard to deny that it is happening when you see someone post "I only need x number of likes to reach x number of likes", and you can see in the new forum software how many people have clicked the "like" button for that post. Of course it doesn't really matter. We all know that @Kuzzter has already won the internet.

My first reaction was "I've never played Construct 2, so what right do I have to vote?", but then I realised you have to vote to see the results. Conclusion: My curiosity made me break my principles. Hmmm But KSP has 71% of the votes, so yaaaaay.

@Spaceception, honestly, that article contains so much misinformation that I can't bring myself to read it all because it is so blatantly biased. Nor can I motivate myself to bring up all the counterarguments here that have been argued in so many other places. Long story short: no, electric cars are not pollution neutral when you count the entire production process and the various charging methods used around the world, but they are a great deal more environmentally friendly than regular cars that run on combustion engines when taking into consideration the life-expectancy of the vehicle. Yes, lithium takes a lot to extract and to make into batteries, but it is also completely recyclable.

I predict that in a forum such as this with a reasonably high population of thinking people who appreciate good technology over a brand name, your poll will be quickly filled with people who would choose the Tesla. Around the same price for a far more advanced vehicle, it's a no brainer.
