Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

When I write an article for the site, it gets scheduled and published when it's time. I then share that article on linux.org and ask for feedback.

Today, someone made a mistake with the command. They made the mistake - even though I distinctly told them what to do in the article.

They then made another mistake. This time, adding a space that was not there - not following the directions.

They then said it wasn't installed and that I should tell people to install it if it's not installed. That was in the article - like the third paragraph in - where I told them it may need to be installed and how to install it.

So, I told the person that I love feedback but it'd be awesome if they'd actually read the article before giving me feedback. After all, there were three things they did that that were contrary to the very clear instructions given in the article.

They got offended, deleted their posts, and claimed they'd read the article - while blaming it on the site's white text on a black background (pretty much the easiest text to read, per a ton of research).

They didn't read the article... No fucking way they read it. If they DID read it, they're fucking idiots. Not reading it makes sense. If they read it and then said those things, they're just plain fucking retarded.

I'm sure it'll lead to some additional drama, but they had me go through removing posts that 'referenced them' and said they'd never comment on another article post.

Good...

I don't need that kinda feedback.

Man, people piss me off.

It's a live stream and not available - but I can see that it was onboard footage. I enjoy that for a while, but prefer full coverage where they show all sorts of footage. There are people who will watch the entire race's worth of onboard footage. I'm not a huge fan of watching it all that long.

And, damned right, that's a lot of articles. I can probably keep writing articls for quite some time.

I like the part where you could see how much throttle and braking and what gear and the speedometer

Indeed, some people are just stupid.

And, yeah, the telemetry is awesome. You can also do the math in your head pretty easily. Figure it's 6 mph for every 10 kph - so 100 kph is 60 mph.

It's actually like 62.2 mph, but we're good for just estimating speed. So, from that, you can tell they were going about 200 mph down the longest straight section, maybe up to 210 mph.

But, yeah, cars send back that telemetry these days. My modern track cars can all do that. You also have a transponder so that you can tell where the cars are - like on pit road or where on the circuit. It's amazing how much data is being processed at one of these types of events.
