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:

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
