[quote who="psychoak" reply="181" id="3624447"] Clearly, the ethical answer is to send it towards the five people working. If they're not smart enough to get out of the way, your only hope is that they didn't reproduce before nature took it's natural course. [/quote] Lol. Why am I not surprised your answer would be something like that? ;-) Anyway, in the real problem the five people will not be able, for whatever reason, to hear the train coming on

It's not that A or B are evil, but their actions either are, or aren't, independent of their TRUE motivations. Plus, nobody and nothing in this world is 100% good or 100% evil. But if you look at the bigger picture, at all their recent actions and their consequences (or potential consequences) for EVERYBODY, you can pretty much have a good idea on where they stand on the good/evil scale. ;-)

Man does not live on bread alone. In the worst of times, we all need something that helps us take our heads out of our misery, even if it's just for a short while - so we can recharge batteries and find the strength to keep going. You should know that, Moshi. :)

Reply to Winstep Nexus Dock v16.2 Released! in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

It really isn't nothing big... sometimes the current weather description is too long and that enables the 'scrolling ticker' mode so the text fits and you are able to read it all. When that happens a little bit of the text might overlap the icon - might not even be Tiggz oversight, I might have tinkered with the scrolling routine AFTER he made the theme and caused this.

Reply to why windowblinds instead of winstep in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I'm with Neil and the Doc here. :) They don't do the same thing at all: WindowBlinds skins other applications, Winstep is essentially a program launcher - and only skins itself. Winstep and WindowBlinds nicely complement each other, in fact, many Winstep themes are made to match existing WindowBlinds skins. Anyway, thanks for the compliment. [e digicons]|-)[/e]

If he's not used to editing Winstep theme configuration files it's best for him to wait for the Winstep Theme Builder to be released. Anyway, since the K-TEK4D theme is actually one of the themes that ships with Winstep, I might fix it myself. :)

Funny thing is, here we are talking about these mega-pixel monitors when the most common screen resolution (at +- 31%) is... 1366x768. Immediately followed by 1920x1080 for 21.5% of users out there. Only 0.11% are blessed with 4K monitors ( 3840x2160 ).

Reply to Dell 5K monitor: Thumbs up! in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

Unfortunately I am still 'limping along' with three 30" monitors at 2560x1600 each and a nVidia GTX 690: The new 4K+ monitors now available seem great, but generally they have too much screen resolution for the actual monitor size, which makes everything look 'tiny'. As a result, most people enable high DPI settings on their systems, which basically works by magnifying everything. All
