Kernel 3.12 is available at kernel.org

Compiled last night took 2 hours on my single core 2.2 Ghz CPU... looks good so far. Boots up fast, no errors! xD

Have you guys ever considered downloading the PPA Mainline Files, Put them in a Folder named KERNEL inside your home folder, Open up a Command Line Terminal, and then type cd KERNEL, finally type (sudo dpkg -i *)? Without the () and the ?, It's a whole lot easier than trying to install it through Software Center! Just FYI! Edit: Takes a whole lot less time as well!

I should also let you guys know that there is a Trusty 3.12 Kernel at the Kernel Mainline PPA website (It's been there since November 8th) just in case anyone has missed it!

Have you guys ever considered downloading the PPA Mainline Files [...]?

Yep! I use mainline kernels all the time.

Only reason(s) I went back to compiling them is because 'paul_in_london' came up with a dandy time-saver.

Used to take 4 hours to compile a kernel on this box -- the way I was doing it. Paul's method cut the time down to 30 minutes.

I usually add a couple of things (not subtract) when I compile a kernel -- they're just fun to play around with, you know? If it ain't broke, break it.

Plus, I like to add my nick to the package name -- and, the machine ID -- call it artistic license, if you will.

Anyway, I still use mainline kernels, when I'm in a pinch for time...

Is this a trick question or a joke?

You're right i should have just said do a sudo dpkg -i * instead of installing them through Software Center.

OK, so it is a joke...
