I installed Kubuntu 10.04 too, first as an upgrade from 9.10 which didnt go too well. Then re-installed from clean. Major show stopper for me was the fact that I couldn't log out without the entire system freezing and forcing a hard reset. I cant "just don't logout" as suggested by someone in #kubuntu as me and my girlfriend have separate accounts and use user switching. I tried for 3 days to narrow the problem down, different graphics drivers, manually setting xorg.conf, various other things but no joy - back to 9.10 for me, its rock solid.

I also installed Ubuntu 10.04 just to see if the problem existed there too and it did, 3 days down the drain, disappointed is an understatement :(

FTFA:

2K Sports kept the contest open for two months and couldn't believe what they saw when they reviewed the time code on McGilberry's perfect game. Was it really possible that a gamer threw a perfect game in the first 24 hours the game had come out?

Looks to me like they kept entries then reviewed them once the 2 months were up.

You could try getting involved with some existing game engines written for Linux/whatever else. Learn the engine basics then get into the guts of it. Check out Irrlicht Engine for one, last time I was there it seemed a friendly and helpful crowd on the forums.

But will it smell as good?

News like this just wants me want to batter someone with a violin.

Blue sky of death?

Its only English that say Scots are tight - thats coz we dont give them the time of day :p

I think human eyes can only pick up something like 28-30fps. The reason higher fps is better is mainly for online gaming - at the end of each frame networking can be handled, the higher the fps the more often you can send data to the server. If your bullets register before someone elses its all good :)

Nice work Miss Marple but thats an epic fail if ever I've seen one :)
