2008 Audi R8 TDI Le Mans

Posted on Wed, 2008-03-05 18:30

Audi is presenting a revolution in the top class – the first 12-cylinder diesel engine in a high-performance roadgoing sports car. The V12 TDI with a displacement of six liters powers a concept car based on the Audi R8. This unit generates a huge 500 hp and 1,000 Newton-meters (737.56 lb-ft) of torque. Audi is writing a new chapter in diesel technology with this power unit. Equipped with the expertise that Audi has built up through its motor sport activities, the R8 TDI Le Mans in Brilliant Red embodies superb road handling, pioneering technology and fascinating design.
The V12 TDI is closely related to the engine in the Audi R10, the two-time Le Mans winner – so it catapults the Audi R8 into supercar terrain concerning performance too. It sprints from zero to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in just 4.2 seconds and its top speed is well over 300 km/h (186.41 mph). The peak torque, reached at only 1,750 rpm, paves the way for effortless acceleration that is unrivaled even at this level.

Google doesn't know best

Posted on Wed, 2008-03-05 18:20

It appears Google isn't flawless. On their Google Analytics page they seemed to have mixed up their languages.

When settings the language to English (UK) on the Google Analytics website, it seems to think that the British speak Russian.

If you get the above message it is because you have for some reason lost your sndvol32.exe file from %WIN_DIR%\SYSTEM32.

If you do have this problem is is likely that you do not have access to the first Advanced button, which will be greyed out and you will get the error message about the volume control program when you tick the box "Place the volume icon in the taskbar".

And here is how you get it back:

Creative continue to release poor drivers - No shock there then

Posted on Tue, 2008-03-04 21:51

Creative Logo Creative continue to release absolutely shitty drivers for the X-Fi range and I am sure their other ranges as well. After finding certain parts of the audio configuration weren't available I decided to reinstall the drivers. While reinstalling I checked the Creative website and found there was a new beta driver out from January 08.

I thought there can't be that much wrong with them, I am sure they can't be any worse than the old drivers.

Ha ha ha. I really am stupid.
