Favorites of 2008:

Metallica - Death Magnetic - By far above and beyond the top choice of the year for me.

Shinedown - Sound of Madness: Fantastic. Just fantastic.

Scott Weiland - Happy In Galoshes: Always loved his music, especially the two solo efforts.

Seven mary Three - Day and Night Driving: These guys never disappoint me. Always something fresh and unexpected.

And the other end of the spectrum are the albums I found awful, either by surprise, but mostly I expected it

Staind - The Illusion of Progress: The absolute worst of the worst. From what these guys were capable of, to this.

3 Doors Down - Self Titled: Yeah, vomited in my mouth a little.

Slipknot - All Hope is Gone: How they got to here after Vol. 3....I don't know.

2009 Holds some promising things too: The return of Alice In Chains, Megadeth and many others. Here's to a good new year!

tha carter 3 - (revolutionized rap singlehandedly, no more "look at my cars and rims bs")

Itunes live @ soho - Gavin Degraw

I feel completely different :/ If I had to pick a rap album of the year it'd probably be Nas' Untitled. Even though Lupe Fiasco has probably been the one I've been listening to the most for the past year and a few months.

The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age of the Understatement. Definitely my favorite of the year.

Their music is nothing like the music I listen to usually (that includes their previous projects like Artic Monkeys), but I watched their set on tv from Reading over the summer and loved it. Especially the self titled song from the album :yes:

    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      By JohnnyQ55 · Posted

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D

    • Microsoft Opens Fairwater: Wisconsin AI Campus Runs as One Supercomputer via 800G Ethernet

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
