[quote]Plus with as much 3D talent as you have it is great to see you move to something new. Maybe giving windowblinds a good try. [/quote] I've asked him this a few times already, Al you have great talent, I'd love to see a wb made by you, you've got some serious skills bro!!! :D
heck I'm just ecstatic that I was even mentioned in the same group as the rest of these skinners, just too awesome, thank you to everyone who nominated my skin for this list - [B]a real honor to be mentioned!!!! [/B] :D
if anyone installs this I'd like to hear about system performance & stability after installing and rebooting from sp3 install. - does anyone know if sp3 contains any system fixes to improve overall system performance/reliability or is it just a rollup pkg of all current critical/security updates since sp2 was released
no vista bootskin app yet but people have found ways of creating a bootskin for windows vista, just do a search on the net, you'll find it. It's a bit of an involved process though and since it involves alot of manual changes, no guarantee of a stable vista environment once you've performed the required changes.
Congrats to all, the promotions are well deserved and long overdue. :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: Skinhit in particular, based on the work I've seen you produce (and some of my early bootskins that you let me create from your work), I would have assumed you were a master already, hard to believe you just attained master apprentice status!!! Congrats my friend, you deserve it!!!! :CONGRAT:
even the taskbar in xp classic mode (all eye candy turned off) doesn't hide completely, there has to be some remnant of it available for the user to click on & expand again if necessary - I think it's the same idea in your example
[quote]For the chicks.. obviously...[/quote] too funny... I thought I was the only one left that still used that term, we must be nearly the same age (or maturity level) :LOL:
try to add some christmas spirit to this thread xscorpx, you're putting a bit of a downer to the original intent of the post :NOTSURE:
or "if wings had pigs, could they still fly?" :LOL:
your son's strength during his ordeal is a reflection of the great parents he has, you did a great job raising such a strong kid and you are allowed to vent as much as possible here or anywhere else for that matter. Being a parent is tough without having to see your children suffer - it's probably the worst thing a parent has to go through is see their child be hurt or suffer in any way. I know he is going to get better and you need to believe in that too, visualize in your mind & heart
nobody has mentioned Alperium, download wise the guy can't be beat, check out the top 5 skinners on this site for the past 30 days, he has pretty much owned that list for months already, he's very popular and submits tons of skins, people really like his stuff. Once he gets into wb's, he'll shake up that section also. :)
[quote]The war was legitimate based on Saddams breaking of the ceasefire agreement which is why the UN backed off taking it to an International court[/quote] Saddam did exactly what was mentioned in my previous post. In 1999, Iraq (2nd largest oil reserves in the world), switched to trading its oil in euros from US dollars. It was first seen as a huge error by alot of economic analysts who thought that Iraq was now heading into an economic downfall but when the euro began rising aga
[quote]Screw oil. The water wars are soon to come[/quote] NT, you hit that one right out of the park, that's another one coming soon as well Hey Cosmic, thanks for the reply back. I think the US govt understands their current situation very well, and probably have other plans (aside from what's obvious on the news) to slow or reverse the course of this problem - you seem to be quite versed on this issue, in your opinion what can be done to avoid this type of economic catast
hey cosmic, nice post - at least someone finally brought up the point of oil dollars. However, you could have done us a bit of a favor and elaborated on the topic, truth be known, I would wager that the majority of people out there aren't aware of this process and what it involves, I did some searching and came up with the cliff notes version on this topic. Here is the "theory" of oil dollars... Imagine you are deep in debt but every day you write cheques for millions of doll
this post has nothing to do with personal computing, I will assume it was placed in this forum accidentally - however it has sparked quite a bit of debate and it's been incredibly interesting to follow & participate in.

[quote]Where do you think the electricity come from? Wind, Solar, Hydro, Nuclear? [/quote] I can't speak for how electricity is generated at your end but locally our electricity comes from hydro power - electricity generated by flowing water which passes through a turbine to spin a generator to produce electricity. Unlike the nonrenewable fuels used to generate electricity, hydro power is clean, there are no waste products, and hydropower does not pollute the water or the air.
when we have guests over, we're too busy gossiping, watching the little kids cause trouble, eating good food, drinking, with the tv & stereo on in the background, I can't remember any occasions where someone asked to use the pc while we had guests over. However if someone needed to use my pc, I could setup a limited user guest account and not worry too much about it. XP & Vista both allow for the quick creation of a limited user account which limits what can be done to your pc and limi
[quote]I think technology currently exists to replace our dependance on oil What would that be? [/quote] Dude, are you serious?! Take a second and Google it, this can't be the first place you've heard about alternatives to dependance on oil, the climate crisis, pollution,etc. Here is a quick list: 1. Walk, Ride Your Bike and Take the Bus - I've been walking to work since October 1995, obviously this isn't an option for everyone (mass transi
[quote]I'd like technology to get us out of the current oil catch-22.[/quote] - I think technology currently exists to replace our dependance on oil, however, considering there are still trillions (obviously an estimate, I know there is quite a bit left) of barrels of oil still left in this earth waiting to be sucked out and sold at a profit, you won't ever see technology takes it turn. Unfortunately for technology to replace our dependance on oil, every drop needs to used up. If it's
plus the overall point was that more money is being spent on war-torn Iraq than on New Orleans & Katrina victims - why is that? All in the name of fighting terrorism and protecting Iraqi citizens? Is that more important than assisting your local citizens? Why are the priorities out of whack? Before you rebuild another country, rebuild your own - how can you be expected to do a good job in Iraq if you can't show that you have a track record of doing the same locally?
[quote]And a side note... about the money going to Katrina victims... there is PLENTY of it. It is being mishandled by local governments. It's not that it isn't there... trust me. [/quote] - the federal government wouldn't hand out the money without keeping tabs on it, I'm sure it made Gee Dubya a little angry to waste his war money on New Orleans, I'm sure he has a crew scrutinizing every dollar being spent over there. The bush administration rec'd a bit of heat on it's response time
Happy Thanksgiving to you all, here in Canada we have our thanksgiving in October (why? I don't know, would make sense to share the same day as you, we celebrate christmas on the same day so why not thanksgiving?) Any excuse to eat delicious turkey is a good one, someone take a big bite (or more) for me... and while you're at it, pass the mashed potatoes and gravy please.
[quote]not to mention the billions upon billions of dollars that could otherwise be spent cleaning up your own back yard. And don't try giving me that crap about a humanitarian crisis and delivering the weak from evil, it was motivated by greed and was a gun-ho way of creating a greater humanitarian crisis than previously existed.[/quote] - couldn't have said it better myself, did Bush just ask for another $40-60 billion for the iraq budget, I'd love to know how much has been spent in I
