I remember several years ago mid-2000s , only about 4 of the industry had more than 10 years experience, but now 7 have 16-20 years experience, and I am in that category. It 's interesting to see how things have changed over time. Oh my, I am sounding old now.... ...

While I 've been a hardcore Windows guy for my entire career, it wasn 't until a little over year ago that I was first exposed to the Linux world. And I run two computers at home -- a Windows 7 gaming rig, and a Linux web/file server. r n ...

Comment In: Gas Powered Games forced into layoffs as cash runs low [News - 01/18/2013 - 06:49]

Either the project gets funded or it doesn 't. If it gets funded, he will try to hire his key staff back. His team is much closer to this than we spectators are. What was said or done is largely between them. Imagine being in their shoes right now r ...
