Hate To Break It To You, But Your Car Likely Has A Black Box 'Spying' On You Already I should have known the link would get abbreviated. The article from Forbes is titled "Hate To Break It To You, But Your Car Likely Has A Black Box 'Spying' On You Already"...

Actually, when I posted my link to the bill I included a key element... :D Here's the bill: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/112/s1813/text Search on 31406.

The paranoia and rhetoric over there at infowars was expected, but I thought this crowd would be a bit more knowledgeable. This bill mandates the recording capability that's in many new cars today. Heck, I thought it was already universal. Your car that's been built in the last decade...

Odd. I didn't notice anything in the article that indicated there was anything NEW on their research. These studies, indeed, were published over a decade ago (which can maybe be inferred from the story). A quick google/wiki search didn't indicate that anything new has been published since...

What's NOT to like about Corsair? I don't think I've been disappointed with the quality of a Corsair purchase yet, from RAM to power supplies, Corsair is about all I consider buying anymore! Things always exude quality.

Did it automatically turn up your settings in response to the faster video card?

There's another thread here about CPU importance to BF3. I found out the hard way it takes a lot of CPU to drive 3 screens; I was running my i7-930 at stock and had significant FPS issues, I was ready to throw in the towel. Then I went ahead and turned the OC back on and it gets better from...

Fantastic tip here, frighteningly expensive upgrade path. Franjo, I've got 2x 5870 and run (mostly) high but struggle with fps. I drop into the 20s much more often than I'd like. I think your 6950s are similar, maybe not quite as strong as the 5870.

Great thread; CPU dependency in BF3 is pretty much like a secret. I saw a post or two on the BF3 forums and it was night & day when I overclocked my i7-930 (especially with 3 screens). As for Hyperthreading, as mentioned, normally it actually causes stuttering issues in BF3, also. People have...

My little SSDs are impossible to live with. It seemed like a good idea. I need bigger, and I've become a Corsair fanboy after owning several Corsair products. About to buy more DDR3!

My favorite quote of the article: That's what I'm doing tonight is beta TESTING the GAME, eating pizza and drinking beer! P.S.- recall that "The perfect is the enemy of the good." --Voltaire

I'm looking for a good stable strong PS!

This would be great for when Battlefield 3 comes out!

I like dual fans from the factory. Better than having to kludge two together on other liquid!

This is the one I've been waiting for!

I'm all Corsair these days. Nothing but!

Fuck your Honda Civic, I've a horse outside :D

This time, please!

This would be great to perk me up!

I could use one of these for a new cruncher!

I want to see more video cards from the market in my PC.

I'm a big fan of whatever Corsair makes, and recommend their RAM exclusively! I want to try the headset, too!

I think what Galaxy needs to do in the future is give me this video card

One of these would be great for my new i7-930 system!

Youtube or it didn't happen...

I second the enjoyability of many of the in-game experiences. I'm not a huge gamer (I suppose I'm a BF fanboy), but I've never felt the kind of amazement as I have at sights in this game. Like the snow princess said above, it's great being on either side of a wall that gets destroyed! Although...

I like to buy the B-grade stuff so I'm close to the best but don't pay for the best. Getting any SSD is such a good upgrade that it should be fine. But make sure it has TRIM (so no Intel Gen 1). I pushed my friend strongly towards getting one of these, I don't know if he finally got off his...

You get that on the right mouse button if you have the ALT Weapons vehicle specialization selected. It's pretty useful for strafing the enemy.

That was some good times just now on TIG... don_the_16th

Oh. Servers down. 7PM EST

<sigh> With the loss of old friend lists, I've sent some requests. It's about time for insomnia! don_the_16th

More info somewhere? I didn't even find this in the newsroom section of the OCZ website.

The search will find partial matches, so just search on one key word of the name. I didn't have a problem finding "Forever Dirty". Caps sensitive, of course.

Regrettably, the server search is case sensitive. And "Insomniac" is capitalized. Once I thought in the linux mindset, I was able to find the H servers. I have the listing from this thread in one Firefox window that I can just pull up on the 2nd monitor next to the game. :)

I don't think that's an accurate assessment. It's not perfect yet (BF games never are at release), but I think the biggest problems are getting resolved on the server end. I think the "unable to connect" types of issues are fading away (there was a server maintenance scheduled early this...

I spent some good time on True Insomniac Gamers also. Good times for sure. don_the_16th in BFBC2.

At least you're not trying to play Assassin's Creed 2...
