Since November, my life is crazy busy. This week I've managed to use some free time for editing some HD textures for Quake's ammo boxes, because I'm tired of not being productive and this is something I may release in a few days.

I miss having the time to sit down and writing some proper feedback for new maps, because there's a lot of great ones released this year.

:) Thank you all.

Watch it!

Here is a free multi-platform CAD program, in development with a fairly complete set of features already implemented. It reads and writes multiple file formats, so it could find a place in your existing 3D modeling workflow; or you could find it to be a useful tool on its own.

Why might you want to look at it? Well, they begin describing it as follows.

FreeCAD is a parametric 3D modeler made primarily to design real-life objects of any size. Parametric modeling allows you to easily modify your design by going back into your model history and changing its parameters. FreeCAD is open-source and highly customizable, scriptable and extensible.  

I voted no. 

It is so obvious of a copy that he only reason i see for it not being taken down already is that they didn't bother with or even haven't seen it. 

(vi) Carmack intentionally destroyed data on his computer after he got notice of this litigation and right after he researched on Google how to wipe a hard drive�and data on other Oculus computers and USB storage devices were similarly deleted (as determined by a court-appointed, independent expert in computer forensics); (vii) when he quit id Software, Carmack admitted he secretly downloaded and stole over 10,000 documents from ZeniMax on a USB storage device, as well as the entire source code to RAGE and the id tech� 5 engine �which Carmack uploaded to his Oculus computer;

Somebody get Fincher to direct this shit. 

I wonder what will happen to him. As far as I'm aware he's still rich... 

Where are you reading this from? Id fancy a read. 

Is that a court statement from a judge?

Or is that the plantiff's "made for TV version of what they say happened"?

As far as I know, the jury concluded
1) Occulus did *not* misappropriate trade secrets.
2) The founder of Occulus *did* violate a non-disclosure agreement.

It does not appear that the court or the jury concurs with the text of the statement made in post #28810, although I don't claim to have read any of the docs provided by the court.

An attorney gets to tell their story of what they think happened to both the media and the court. It is always overstated so that if you go along halfway with their version of events, you would side with them.

The plantiffs team of attorney's is being paid with the idea they are supposed to win $2 billion for their client.

So they are going to have quite the "sales pitch".

/An alternate take. I claim no special knowledge. I am also often wrong. 

Imagine writing countless lines of code over multiple years... then you're told that you stole it.

Humans are weird huh? 

Apparently the case has been decided? I imagine there will be an appeal.

If that's true, (which I doubt) it's pretty hilarious to picture one of the most well regarded programmers of our time frantically searching Google for how to wipe a hard drive like some guilty dad after clicking on a Shambler link 

if john carmack himself is googling "how to wipe hard drive secure" there's hope for all of us 

It's not like it's something you need to do everyday.

For that matter, most people would be surprised to find out that when they delete something from their computer it's not really gone at all.
