    RTX 2080/2080 Ti BENCHMARKS ARE IN!

    That's pretty much the conclusion of this review: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/09/nvidia-rtx-2080-and-2080-ti-review-a-tale-of-two-very-expensive-graphics-cards/ My favorite quotes: "Remember when $700 seemed like a lot of money for a top-of-the-line GPU? Quaint times." "Right now...

    HA! CIG thinks they can tempt us with a black and yellow themed Freelancer!

    My only issue with the MIS is that the vast majority of the missiles are Size 2. Way too small to do much damage, at least the last several combat models. I wish the bulk of its missiles were size 3!

    This may have just ruined Mario Kart for me...

    you need Toad a bit lower, and centered, for that meme to be perfect. If I was Toad, I'd sue for defamation!

    Net Neutrality

    He's also confusing "Net neutrality" with censorship issues...very difficult to untangle all these threads.

    Net Neutrality

    On top of that, the ISP's are gaming the system at both ends: they charge the consumer higher amounts for higher speed tiers (throttling your data at certain times, to try to gouge you into buying a higher tier) and they charge the content providers higher prices to get higher speeds (and limit...

    Net Neutrality

    If you want "delicious irony" how about this? The FCC chair before Ajit Pai, was Tom Wheeler, who was a top cable industry lobbyist *before* he became the head of the FCC. When he was appointed, everyone was concerned that he was going to just be a pro-industry/anti-consumer shill. Things turned...

    4k or Wide screen

    That one didn't get very good reviews! The other (more expensive ones) did get good reviews, and they were under $550, which is pretty amazing for 27" IPS monitors at 4k. I know Viewsonic used to be a good brand, not sure about them recently. Very tempting!

    Hurricane LiveCam

    Yup camera is down. They are just playing old "highlights." I guess until the hurricane is over, we will just have to rely on Our Glorious Leader sticking his head out of his window and giving us updates!

    Hurricane LiveCam

    The wind isn't the only problem....the "storm surge" is, i.e., the water pushed up rivers, combined with the rainfall, which all comes back down the river like a bat outta hell...could take 96 hours or more to subside: View: https://i.imgur.com/AuWCMwC.gifv
