Ok so that guy in America said his church is going to have a burn a Qur'an day and everyone is going crazy saying it's an insult if they burn it. Then you see protests in Afghanistan against people burning it BUT they are seen BURNING the US flag which is a fucking big insult.

Any attempt to upset someone is pathetic.

Some people who left this team are exemplary with their actions.

I adore and respect those guys.

Some I am glad have left.

Those pathetic cunts needs to watch and absorb this video.

TNA pulled from the air

UsR Twisted D — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 23:15:14 GMT

TNA iMPACT! is being preempted tonight as Spike TV is airing episodes of Gangland during the program�s regular time slot. While Spike nor TNA Wrestling has acknowledged the reason for the preemption, it is said that network officials made the decision to not air iMPACT! this week because they felt it would be hammered in the ratings by the NFL season opener between the Minnesota Vikings and the New Orleans Saints.

I actually laughed out loud

Why Microsoft, Why?

V Bumblebee V — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 18:01:15 GMT

Microsoft's Director of Policy and Enforcement for Xbox LIVE Stephen Toulouse has hit out at the hardcore gamers who have raised concerns about Microsoft's upcoming motion control interface Kinect, saying that they have "kinda been wrong a lot for the past ten years".

"I have one thing to say to the hardcore gamer who says Kinect has nothing for them," said Toulouse while discussing concerns about Kinect on Major Nelson's latest podcast. "Those games will have achievements, so don't tell me you're not going to play at least some of them, you hardcore gamers out there. I know you will."

But Toulouse later suggested that the hardcore audience, who largely expect Kinect to underperform and under deliver when it launches in November, had been "wrong a lot" about market trends and successes "for the past ten years",

"Let's go back and look at the track record of the hardcore gamer," he continued.

"Shipping a console with an Ethernet port? Oh, it'll never succeed. Paying for multiplayer? Oh no, that's not good. I don't like avatars; I won't buy anything that goes to my avatar. The Wii... I mean no offence hardcore gamers, you've kinda been wrong a lot for the past ten years.

"I love you and I'm a hardcore gamer and I've been wrong too. I was the one who thought the DS was kinda gimmicky and probably wasn't going to take off. I was obviously insanely wrong about that. Give it a chance."

Massa 'too low in car' to see grid lines

UsR Twisted D — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 17:27:04 GMT

Felipe Massa says his out-of-position start at the Belgian Grand Prix happened simply because his seating position did not give him good enough visibility to line his Ferrari up correctly.

The FIA recently acknowledged that Massa had been too far forward over his grid slot when the race started, and should have had a penalty, but said that as the incident had only been brought to its notice via videos in the week after the race, it was too late to apply a punishment.

"I'm maybe the lowest driver in the car, I'm very low in the car and maybe if I was a bit higher, it would be easier to see," Massa explained.

"Definitely I couldn't see the lines very well, so I was a little bit outside, and that was it."

The governing body is investigating why Massa's contravention was not picked up by either the observing marshals or the electronic systems designed to detect grid infringements.

FIA: Ferrari did use illegal team orders

UsR Twisted D — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 17:24:33 GMT

The FIA remains convinced that Ferrari did use illegal team orders at the German Grand Prix - but it decided not to push the team further at its disciplinary hearing on Wednesday because of inconsistencies in the way the rules have been applied in the past.

Motor racing's governing body issued the full hearing notes from the meeting of its World Motor Sport Council that met in Paris on Wednesday to examine the events at Hockenheim - where it explained why the Italian team had not faced further sanctions.

The report of the meeting suggests that the WMSC felt the team orders situation was so ambiguous in F1 that it would have been wrong to punish Ferrari more � even though it was sure the outfit had imposed an illegal order on Felipe Massa.

"It is undeniable that the race result would have been different had the contentious instruction not been issued to Mr Felipe Massa," said the FIA.

However, it stated that: "there were many examples of what could have been said to be team orders in Formula 1 in recent years, and therefore there has been inconsistency in its application.

"Also its application to indirect team orders via messages where drivers raise no complaints is uncertain and difficult to detect and police.

"The Judging Body of the WMSC accepted that this may well have influenced Ferrari's approach, and Ferrari also had a legitimate concern to avoid collisions between team mates in close on track racing."

Ferrari's case was also strengthened by Williams and Sauber writing to the FIA to show their support � and point out the risks that come from team-mates colliding when fighting for position.

The sanctions that the WMSC were asked to consider were a $100,000 fine, a five-second penalty for Alonso, which would have relegated him to second, or the withdrawal of drivers' and teams' points from Hockenheim, suspended for 2010 and given back if no similar event occurred during the remainder of the season.

The FIA document also explained Ferrari's defence � that there had never been an 'order'. The Maranello-based outfit made sure to note the distinction between an order and the supply of information or a request for what a team would like a driver to do.

"In the view of Ferrari, Mr Felipe Massa was not ordered to allow Mr Fernando Alonso to pass; rather he was given relevant information, based on which he decided, for the benefit of the team, to allow Mr Fernando Alonso to pass," said the statement.

"The relevant information was that Mr. Fernando Alonso was faster than him, and that Mr. Sebastian Vettel was closing the gap on both of them.

"Mr Felipe Massa realised that the best interests of the team and the drivers' safety were going to be served by allowing Mr Fernando Alonso to pass, and acted accordingly.

"In the view of Ferrari, there is a clear distinction between 'team orders' on the one hand, and 'team strategy and tactics' on the other hand. The dispute communication should be considered as 'team strategy and tactics.'"

The report also revealed that a few laps before the radio communication where Rob Smedley informed Massa that Alonso was faster than him, both drivers had been ordered to turn their engines down � before the Spaniard was allowed to turn his up again.

"Alonso increased his engine speed without Mr Felipe Massa's being informed," revealed the FIA document. "Mr Fernando Alonso was therefore benefiting from a definite performance advantage over Mr Felipe Massa in the moments preceding the contentious overtaking.

Date: 8th September 2010

We have a bit of a reputation within the Forza community. Hard racers - yes. Brutal cat and mouse players - yes. Quick drivers - not yet.

We will never claim to be the quickest but we felt a bit of stock car time attacking would give an insight into the relative pace.

It is not about the number one time. It is about taking a bog standard piece of shit car and doing a lap as quick as you can.

The competition is being run by our own UsR UnionJ and you can follow it here in this thread.

http://uniquespecialists.com/forums/....php?t=1046745

Everyone is welcome and the rules are the same for everyone. There is no contact as it is time attack and thus no one can moan about being binned.

There will be a three race series and it is all in the name of good sporting fun.

Are you quick? Only one way to find that out. Good luck.

Ferrari set to escape further penalties

UsR Twisted D — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 16:46:41 GMT

Ferrari looks set to escape further sanction over its alleged deployment of team orders in the German Grand Prix.

The team was fined $100,000 by the Hockenheim race stewards and referred to the FIA World Motor Sport Council after Felipe Massa slowed and allowed Fernando Alonso to pass him for the lead - with the Spaniard going on to take a win that resurrected his title bid.

The WMSC hearing over the matter took place in Paris today, but Angelo Sticchi Damiani, head of Italian motorsport federation the CSAI, told reporters outside that the governing body had agreed unanimously not to impose any extra punishment, according to the Reuters news agency.

Team orders have been banned in Formula 1 since the outcry over Ferrari's handling of the 2002 Austrian Grand Prix, when Rubens Barrichello handed victory to team-mate Michael Schumacher within sight of the chequered flag - even though the German already had a comfortable lead.

Suspicions were aroused at Hockenheim when Ferrari informed Massa over the radio that Alonso was "faster" than him, and then asked if he "understood" the message. Shortly afterwards, the Brazilian relinquished the lead and was subsequently thanked by his engineer Rob Smedley, who also said "sorry" in the same radio transmission.

Ferrari argued that it was Massa's own choice to cede the lead, and that it had simply presented the situation to him over the radio. Alonso had been the quicker of the Ferrari drivers for much of the weekend, but was passed by his team-mate at the start.
