    I've got over 10GB of beamNG cars on my HDD. Probably more than 30GB in total.

    I was messing with the stereo in the mustang, and noticed the rear speakers were just shit.
    They rattled like crazy, and were just bad.
    So I took them out.
    Will have to order some new ones.
    I know. The music sucks, but it was the only thing on with a lot of bass.

    Installing Ubuntu on a crappy old computer (eMachines with 2gb of RAM, that should give you an idea of what it's like) for the company my dad works for as one of his test machines. It was claiming it would take 23 hours to download the installer. Luckily, it's down to one hour now.

    Okay, never mind. Getting Xubuntu as recommended by someone from my dad's work.

    The stereo in that thing annoys the fuck out of me.
    The speaker I filmed in the video was only about a third of the problem. I had already taken the worst one out.

    "Yes, because TotalBiscuit can't run the game well on two GTX 980s, which are made my AMD... oh wait...

    Anyways, he uses an i7, which is an AMD CPU... no wait a minute...

    Fuck it! I blame the Animus! It has AMD hardware in it!

    No seriously, they developed a game for two consoles that ONLY use AMD hardware... and they forgot to optimise the game for... let's see... AMD hardware? Fucking brilliant!"

    Quote from pcmr reddit

    Also Ubisoft is going to need a space suit to breath they go down any farther

    Seriously, at this point in time you could create a game studio that specifically make a horrible games and that run really bad, and the games would STILL run better then ubifails gamea and your studio would still be hated less then ubifail

    Ubuntu is just outright slow. Slower than windows even. Good lord don't try it in a VM, windows 8 in a VM is usable (slow, but usable, although this wasn't on a high powered machine), Ubuntu in a VM on same machine takes about 5 minutes to open iceweasel. Crunchbang however on my laptop (less powerful than previous machine) works perfectly fine in a VM.

    Need a distro for old machines or VM's, my vote is for crunchbang. Bodhi in a close second (based on Ubuntu core packages so 100% compatible but comes without any bloat out of box).

    I watch videos on 3g fine. It isn't rocket science to hit the settings icon and change the video quality.

    It seems the bullbar on the ranger has moved, Is this much of a concern and if so how would I fix it?

    Not my rig. Uni rigs. Think they are 1st gen i7's at 3.5ghz. They run centos in a VM just fine. They run windows 8 in a VM slowly but usably. They run Ubuntu in a VM like a piece of complete and utter god shite.

    Even installed as the only OS on my previous laptop it was noticeably slower than vista on that laptop, when I switched it for windows 7 good lord the speed difference was godly. Crunchbang on same laptop is now the only OS it can run, CPU load is so low that it doesn't really heat up very much which is good as it has a dead fan and is entirely passively cooled which it wasn't designed for (barely gets past login screen on win7 before thermal shut down, doesn't reach login screen on Ubuntu).

    I've tried it from live USB on current laptop, faster than last laptop. Still slow although likely crippled by USB.

    I have just come to conclusion that Ubuntu sucks.

    Crunchbang can do everything it can once setup right. Vanilla crunchbang install, idles under 100mb of RAM, I have run crunchbang limited to 512mb ram just fine, messed about with some C programming, web browsing worked although too many tabs caused it to go to swap but it was still perfectly usable. Libre office worked on that 512mb but it wasn't a huge document I through at it. I normally have 2gb allocated though (uni VMs are 4gb 2 cores).

    Bullbars are illegal in the UK now. Its fine if the car had one before they were banned. But once you remove one, you aren't allowed to put it back on and as a result you find garages won't do repairs on them. Of course who's going to know about a DIY bullbar repair :p

    Lucky I'm in Australia then, Bullbars will never be banned here. They are essential if you want your car to survive a collision with a kangaroo.
