I see your point, maybe something like BeamNG.drive when it is finished.

I remember playing Hard Drivin on the c64, it was a terrible port. The spectrum version was great though.

Spiritual successor? In terms of realistic car modeling, I would say the rFactor series.

There is OWIN for .NET which is the equivalent of Connect / Rack / WSGI. So hopefully in the future it won't be reliant on IIS.

This looks like a great read. It must have been challenging to do a decent arcade conversion for the 8 bit home computers. The spectrum was probably slower than the z80 sound cpu in the arcade board.

It will be interesting to hear how much noise an F-E car will produce. It's a big part of the atmosphere at an F1 event. I've seen some TTXGP bikes race and it is eerily quiet.

This is the impression I had as well. With all the factories and services and dependency injection.

The company I work for is going in the opposite direction. I'll be expected to learn PHP soon after spending years developing with .NET. I'd much prefer to be switching to Ruby or Python. Anyway if you want to switch to Ruby on Rails in future you won't have a massive leap. ASP.NET MVC is very similar.

This is great until someone removes your finger so they can access your phone.

There is a new SQL release, SQL Server 14.

In the UK we have Santa Pod which runs Top Fuel drag races. Its definitely an experience. I have been to a few F1 races and the top fuel dragsters are noisier.

I think its a better deterrent to just release software updates often. Of course you need to give the user a compelling reason to want to update.

Any physical/liquid damage isn't covered by warranty. Pretty good of Apple to do that, all of the network operators i've worked with charge.

Your screenshot has the blocked cookies icon at the end of the address bar. Chrome is probably also blocking local storage.

They are only giving the hardware away to developers who have already published an application in the store. I think its a pretty good decision by MS as they are targeting developers who have at least shipped something. I don't know if I would want to switch away from android/ios though. I don't think MS will abandon the platform but I think they will end up abandoning silverlight in the future.

also interesting that the android version only has 1000 to 5000 downloads.

and of course Leatherface from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre who wore the skin masks of his victims to help take on their personality.

So Blackberrys are now aimed at teenagers?
