I tried it almost 10 times and it never worked, then I changed my email address (to yahoo) here and in component manager and tried it and it finally worked. I then changed both back to my regular email. I remember reading a post by karmagirl how certain ISPs were blocking email from stardock because they thought it was spam.

Some very good points paxx. For several reasons the salary cap in the NFL has allowed football to surpass baseball as the american pastime. Also forgot about the comment from tarkus that baseball players make less than market value. Compare the salaries of superstar football players with superstar baseball players. There's not much comparison. Without researching the exact figures I would venture to say that there are not more than 5 football players who make over 10 million dollar

Tarkus - You have your facts backwards regarding MLB players prior to 1974. Before 1974 players had no rights whatsoever. Team owners basically owned the rights to their players for life. That's why prior to that time, you could easily identify who played for what team, because a group of players would often stay together for their entire career. In 1970, a St. Louis Cardinal player named Curt Flood sued MLB regarding this "reserve clause", and the case eventually went before

As much as it bothers everyone when someone complains about the download cap, it bothers and saddens me more to see the wolf pack mentality of the people attacking them. As Brad has pointed out, the cap affects very few people around here. How many people visit this site each week? Out of those thousands and thousands of people, how many complain about the download cap? It seems to very few if you look at it that way. Therefore do we really need 20 people to pile on these people? If it was

I agree that the quality and innovation are on the rise in skinnable apps, but not in the skins themselves. That's why I haven't been doing any skins lately. I admit that I've fallen into a "rut" and and have had a hard time coming up with original ideas for skins. Therefore, I've decided that unless I can make a skin that will truly "wow" myself and others, there's no need to make it. I think another factor is that originality is not really rewarded with nice comments and downloads. I don'

Which "section" of the copyright "laws" deal specifically with screenshots of Windowblinds skins? Probably none, therefore this definitely would be an area that would require some interpretation.

The way that I found easiest when I first started was simply creating a default luna skin in skinstudio and replacing images with my own. You may even find it easier starting out by keeping the images that you create the exact same size as the default ones. It's pretty easy to get discouraged at first, but if you keep plugging away it will come to you eventually.

I use it and Wb about 50/50. Obviously there are many, many more Wb skins available, but there are a few msstyles that I love and must use regularly.

It's sad to say, but I doubt even people taking drastic steps like motion is will make a difference. If the system is as inconsequential as many would like us to believe, why run the risk of losing people?

It's been established for a while at this site that people will download anything with XP or Windows on it, or in the title. That's probably why there are so many skins with "XP" in the title, that don't have anything to do with XP. You could title something "XP Crap" and it would probably get thousands of downloads.
