I think they probably should have kept the same bullet speed for the 20mm AA, just reduced it's TTL to reduce it's range. That change might make the 20mm obsolete.

seagate also sell more drives so...so naturally their failure rate for peeps would seem high.

Hitachi,,,make the best drives......if you are really concerned about quality drives.....dont buy sata...and buy only sas at 10K or 15K rpm if not buying ssd.

The  process and working components are better as they have to be for the speeds they must support so better  quality and drive will last longer.......but will use more power and generate more heat....

anything in the 7k speed space is rubbish...

What are you on dude?

Firstly, failure rate is not a function of drives sold. If anything, drives sold would allow a more reliable estimate of failure rate. Not that that has any relevance to the data in the OP.

Secondly, the drives in the study were in an always online storage server. This is far from how most consumers will use them. In that setting some power saving functions become a liability, increasing failure rate.

And what?! Don't buy SATA?! Only buy SSDs or 10k??? Do you work for a hard drive manufacturer? The simple fact is that a cheap and cheerful 3/4TB will serve the storage needs of 98% of people, the other 2% can get another couple and set up a RAID array.

What's wrong with windows backup?

Java is a tool. I don't see how people can hate it.

Bug Reports & Feedback / Page numbers at the top

^^^Pretty much

Could the page numbers of a thread be at the top and bottom?

Also I notice that tiwa's obsession with titles on posts is now causing those titles (instead of the originals) to show up on the main page when people reply to him. Is this by design?

So where do I get the sweet dealz from now? I need 4TB!

Why would you want the information confined to the two ends of the screen? I just use a smaller window, the rest of the screen is for doing other stuff.

Hi,

Whenever I see the name of the new site followed by a noun, I feel like I am being imperatively told to acquire multiple instances of that noun, for example Battlefield 3 Server Status here. I don't really know what I would do with even one Battlefield 3 Server Status, and that regular confusion is limiting my full engagement with the new site.
Could you please change the name?

It depends on the quality of the speakers though, if they're not up to scratch that's just throwing money away. Also no network and it's stereo.

This little fella seems pretty popular, will do the job, also with wifi and the blueteeth.

You may also want to measure the impedance of the speakers, to make sure they're not something silly like 4ohms. Use the difference on a half decent set of speakers.

Haha, I dunno. I'm running an X4 955 (with GTX660, 12GB, and SSD), which is below recommended, but I still feel like I should be getting more than a terribly unstable 30fps.

From the sounds of things you might be just as likely to get gains reinstalling Windows 7.

I'm thinking the "update" will be another map for the last weekend of the beta. As with the bf3 beta and caspian on the last weekend.

Lets crash a destroyer into an island.

Hopefully it's a bit less inevitable than the skyscraper collapse.

Yep, RPGs are a lot quicker now. Tanks shells are crazy slow though.

Also that tower is way to easy to take down. Pillars should be in a basement, or somewhere defensible.

* Getting 50-60FPS on High @ 1920x1200 with the Battlescreen off.  With it on, drops to 25-30FPS.  (GTX670, i5 2500k@4ghz)
* Textures in some places are fugly.  I wonder if they've used low textures to save space in Beta?
* CPU usage seems a lot higher than BF3 - 90% utilisation
* Lots of lag, a few crashes, but better than I remember the BF3 beta.


How does one turn off 'battlescreen'?
