I wonder if Doom 4 will ever see the daylight. Apparently the game has been considered being in a "development hell" for some time and Todd and John bailing out probably won't make things any better.

I almost freaked a little when I saw that some supermarkets in Finland already have a larger video games section than what they have music CDs.
I dunno really. It's just damn classy to manually insert the disc into the machine, enjoy the premium sound quality and browse the pretty pictures of the inlay while listening. Combine that with a professional signal chain and you're golden.
Thank you for that! Things which are a matter of taste make the perfect flame war.;)

At least Xbox One has CD playback functionality, which PS4 doesn't...:P

This so much. Both the PS4 and Xbox One are a trip back to the crusty 80s video tape recorder. The aesthetic design of the previous console generation was much more elegant in my opinion.
Ok, here's a cool little tip that many will enjoy. A couple of days ago I discovered that there is actually a registry setting to turn off the silly uppercase menus. Enjoy.
While we are at it, can we also have a SuppressDamnSlowStartupAndSluggishUserInterface flag? The other day a teacher of mine intended to open a C file which was part of MicroC/OS-II, into Notepad++. However VS owned the filetype association and the guy was like "aarrrgghhh...how can I make this stop??" when VS fired up and was running that "Loading components..." bar forever and it couldn't be terminated.
By the way Wikipedia says that VS is C90 compliant (woohoo, what an improvement...). Anyway, if someone believes that is wrong, feel free to fix the article.:)
What? There still is an C compiler team for VS? I thought they mostly just dragged the same C compiling engine from version to version, possibly just doing minor adaptations to keep it working with the newest VS.
I'm just waiting for when Canonical announces their own kernel.
They probably would not have enough resources to maintain an own kernel. Even currently Linux in Ubuntu is very close to mainline.
IMO they would need to hire more devs and QA people just to make the current OS nice. Bugs are piling into Launchpad with many of them just receiving a snarky reply of "Have you tried if this problem has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu?"
Here's a presentation by Steve Jobs from a couple years ago showing the initial plans for the spaceship campus. According to the video title it's apparently the last recorded Jobs video footage. Good luck to Apple finishing the building during the following years, it's certainly a cool plan.

At least things are moving calmly and there is no sight of Rage.

Nah. It's just a passing Quake.

Not so fast, buddy-boy. We still have positive efforts like Folding@home which tap the power of GPUs.
I agree. :) It's the perfect article.
And hey, congratulations, Magnus!

What's the case with Linux Mint? Wikipedia says that it's based on Ubuntu or Debian. I guess that means you can pile the Mint stuff on top of either.
Oh, okay.

How many finished projects?
Well, guys. As Mir can now be relatively easily installed, I'd like to hear comments about your experience with it.
"Canonical is already working on doing this for Qt." -are you sure about this? i thought they ditched anything to do with QT
Unity is planned to be completely Qt-based in future.

It didn't have any effect when I tried it. Maybe it works on some computers.

I agree. Ultimately it's best to just have robust power delivery into DVD drives and not even try to run them through delicate USB power.
