Countdown: 1 Day and BMW badge gone

[Screeny]

maybe there is no reason, but maybe somebody brought back into mind the cooperation is between lfs-team and bwm sauber f1, not bmw itself?

€: oops, sorry, just have seen it's already mentioned in another topic :o

[DeXteRrBDN]

yes, I noticed it too in BMW Sauber thread

[Hallen]

But still, we are down to 1 day. I just wish they would give us a bit more than just changing the day countdown. I don't consider changing the countdown as an update. But ah, well. One day to go.

[loopingz]

Now the countdown should swith to hours !

[DeXteRrBDN]

hours or maybe 1/4 fractions of day XD

[Madman_CZ]

we need a 24h (tv show) style count down!

[unit02]

yes, a 24 hour countdown would be great!

[ajp71]

A countdown :)

http://www.timeanddate.com/counters/customcounter.html?month=4&day=21&year=2006&hour=2pm&min=00&sec=00&p0=0

[boosterfire]

Would be nice with miliseconds and all that stuff so it feels faster and pisses everybody off :tilt:

[Sternendaal]

Where can I skip forward the time :zombie:

[Sternendaal]

EDIT: Slams his own head with a fish,wrong topic.

A countdown :)

Any chance we could get it earlier than that?:scratchch

[Plastik8]

I love the way they changed the word "days" to the word "day" too - nice touch :thumb:

LOL I thought that as well.....

I wonder what the meaning of the removal of the BMW badge is??

[Ball Bearing Turbo]

So they could call it an "update" :razz:

screeny to ur avatar...doubt the patch will be R...yea i know would be next letter in the order but in the readme of the CMX viewer it says LFS 0.5S :)

[Madman_CZ]

Having the rights to use the BMW Sauber F1 car design and having the rights to use the BMW logo are two totally different things. The team has the right to use the logo of course, but they don't have the right to allow others to use the logo without permission from BMW corporate. That is my guess as to why they removed the logo.

[Lino]

What BMW badge are you talking about?

[Geforcy]

well its a good april fool this bmw car:D i got a bet with my teammates.... 1 crate of beer if i am right the bmw f1 is an april fool and wont be in the game at all:razz::razz::razz:

you are right, maybe BMW just found out they got a Formula1 team :shhh:



btw, the link to the logo is still in the code.

[Blackout]

Or they removed the badge just because people were starting to talk about BMW simulator and wanted kazillion different BMWs to drive around the ring.

:nod:

@Blackout: sounds plausible! ;)

[Bawbag]

?

On the countdown page their was a big BMW patch above the rotating BF1. :)

[Lino]

Thanks. I thought so, but I can still see it.


Edit: err... nevermind, It JUST went away.

I can show you what is p2.gif ;)

[ORION]

It's not only the wrong file (the BMW logo was part of the image containing the LFS logo at the top of the page), but also invalid html :P
ttss vic ;)
<img src="" alt="" />
:D

If you cant remember ;) :

[SamH]

Erm.. that's not bad HTML, actually. You'll be seeing that a lot in future. That's progression for ya ;)

[EDIT] I should clarify that for any tag which is itself self-contained, the /> will be expected in future. The IMG tag is self-contained, so it requires this. Also you'll see other self-contained tags like <br> appear as <br /> and so on.

[indo420]

so friday at 12:01AM it will be available huh?

*waits*

[JTbo]

so friday at 12:01AM it will be available huh?

*waits*

Friday 2pm more likely, ok that would be GMT+2 so 12pm GMT that would be however maybe 4pm GMT is more likely :scratchch

[SamH]

*waits*

I think the general feeling is that it'll be released at 3pm, GMT+1/BST

Yep, I use that on my own website, it's in the HTML 4.0 Specification (At lest I think it's 4.0 :).)

[Yaamboo]

That's in XHTML 1.0. The current HTML version is XHTML 1.1.

LoL what do you guess why I ADDED the slash there? ;)

This is called "empty tag", as it has no end tag, and it is required for valid XHTML with XML Syntax. <br> is actually valid HTML, but not XHTML.
However, <br /> works also in HTML so its the way to go, just like for example writing all attributes in lower case.

[franky500]

i was browsing through the news archive on LFS Site and found this which should be appropriate...

Boosted']screeny to ur avatar...doubt the patch will be R...yea i know would be next letter in the order but in the readme of the CMX viewer it says LFS 0.5S :)

That's because the CMX Viewer has been updated twice. At first R, and then they fixed a bug and now it's S.. so simple :D

[Screeny]

I told him the same already.He doesnt bealive however :D

where? haven't read it.

anyway, it's not i didn't notice it, i am just too lazy to change the picture again. i'd rather make a new one :D

huh?

pwbosmbs!

That and the lowercase tag names (which was technically wrong but I've been doing forever anyways) are the two big changes to make HTML an XML compliant language, correct?

That's my understanding, yep. I've only been involved in developing one industry's XML schema, and haven't actually ever implemented it in code. For that, I beat up and bully a couple of other guys in our team ;)
