Reply to Yahoo 360 in Virtual Communities WinCustomize Forums

Personally, I don't really see much similarity between JU and Yahoo 360. Yahoo 360 is much more similar to MySpace.com than to JU. Yahoo hasn't always been the most innovative company on the web, but I really don't think they were "inspired" by JU to launch 360. I don't know for sure, but I believe MySpace was around well before JU.

Reply to WindowBlinds 5 Trouble Already =( in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Yes...I have. Now I uninstalled, rebooted, deleted WB Folder, rebooted, I'm now reinstalling...we'll see. It just finished installing and asked me if I'd like to run it. No reboot message. Shouldn't it be prompting me to reboot?

It appears to have installed correctly, but will not apply any WB skins. When I try to apply a skin through display properties it brings up the Please Wait dialog, but reverts to classic. When I try to apply through WB Config Window, nothing at all happens. Updated my driver, even switched back to my onboard video card, but had identical results.

Reply to Longhorn a wonderland for customization in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

TexasJoe; As you just stated, LH is only 30% complete....it's another year and half away. We really have no idea what all will or will not be in LH when that day comes considering they've already dropped several items that were to be included. The fact is that Quartz is here now, and do you really think Apple will just sit back and relax for the next year and a half? 10.5 will probably be out before LH is, and we have no idea what further s

Reply to How can they miss DesktopX in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

In my mind, what makes the guy an idiot is the fact that he credits M$ as starting the whole widget concept with Active Desktop. Apple started the whole thing in 1984 with what they called Desk Accessories. This came up when people started claiming that Apple ripped Konfabulator's idea. Link Wherever they came from...Apple has now made them better and less memory/cpu intensive

Reply to Any PORT in a storm..... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Incidentally, my next port that I'm working on is based off a Linux GTK2 theme - there is no easy SkinStudio option for that, does that mean the skin will some how be superior because there isn't a importer? No, not necessarily superior...but in my own opinion

Reply to Any PORT in a storm..... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Personally...I just don't understand the point of uploading ports of .msstyles any more. The importer in SKS has now gotten to the point where it converts to .wba almost flawlessly. If someone sees a .msstyle they like, they can just fire up SKS and have a WB version in about a minute. Given that...what's the point of me converting something in 2 minutes and then uploading it? Almost three years ago, I did one of the first ports from .msstyle to .w

Reply to Fox calls Ohio for Bush! in Politics JoeUser Forums

There are major differences between Christianity and Deism. There is a really good site that contrasts the two and atheism. http://www.deism.com/deism_vs.htm I'm not really into debating politics too much, but it bothers me a lot when people justify religious values being merged with policies such as abortion, stem cell research, etc by stating that the founding fathers built this country on christian ideals. Almost all of the founding fat

I will remind you that all the founding fathers were devout christians - so I imagine they would be fine with that too. George Washington's diaries indicate that he rarely attended church. There is quite a bit of evidence that indicates that he was a Deist. He even once appointed appointed a Universa
