Reply to A thank you to Wincustomize. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

It is the best site on the net, bar none. Aside from my recent, brief encounter with the 'dark side', I have always enjoyed coming here and seeing all the amazing work that is on display. As have I enjoyed conversing with the varied and extremely interesting members. There are only 2 negative things I can say about this site. 1. My CPS is getting worse! <img src="http://images.stardock.co

The King's English is preferable, unless there is no King in which case the Queen's English will do. In the absense of a Queen, we'll settle for the Prince's English. (Just not that darn Charles!)

I think it was WiseOldMan. I wasn't able to get through using IE or SkinBrowser for about 3 hours. Looks like the admins might have been doing some "housecleaning". I see many of the libraries have smaller totals now.

During a momentary lapse of reason I used it for about 20 minutes one day. I felt cheap and dirty and so I removed it and immediately took a shower using a pad of steel wool.

Don't worry Carlitus, your English is fine. Languages are difficult to master, but you seem to be doing a fine job of learning this one. As a Canadian, I have learned to communicate in English and French. My first language is English. My French is not that good, because I don't get the opportunity to use it much.

Calling myself a 'Cladder' doesn't have the same ring to it. treetog; I was just thinking how I too have been using Light Blue more often. It is a lovely skin, and I find it works with almost any Wallpaper and Icons. This was such a fine example of skinning (there's that word again <img src="http://im

Jafo, I just realized that until this thing we call skinning came along the word skinning referred to the removing of a skin or pelt. Leave it to this lot to use the same word for the opposite meaning.

Are we (as a people) not entitled to due process? These people are being judge jury and executioner. If they find that "shred of data", fine, then next they should have to prove in a court of law that a law was being broken, and, if they succeed in proving it they should then have sentenced pronounced in accordance with law. In essence what they are asking for is the right to circumvent civil rights and pry into peoples computers to find evidence so that they can immediately pronounce

You know, people thought Orwell went overboard when he wrote 1984. Now, I don't even think he could have imagined such total invasion privacy as this. Such total disregard for civil rights. "Big Brother" was a child's bedtime story compared to this. >

Jafo, would that mean my wife and I would have to stop using the 'rhythm' method and start using the 'rithum' method? BTW, everyone is familiar with Keats' Ode on a Grecian Urn, but does anyone know how much he still 'owed' on the Grecian Urn?......................ok, groan. <img src="http://images.stardo

Ode to the word Ode. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I've seen this word used a few times lately in the messageboard. It's a simple, yet elegant word, derived from the Greek word meaning "a song". In classical prosody, it's a lyric poem that was chanted, such as in the well known "Pindaric ode" or the "Horatian ode". It has evolved in meaning to become a lyric poem that can be rimed or unrimed, of lofty tone, treating progressively one dignified theme, and often in the form of an address. Ladies and Gentlement, I gi

"- Bryce art, unless the result is so astonishing that one could never tell it was done in Bryce." I think that the "spirit" of this rule is that there are always exceptions. Obviously, the moderators felt the walls in question were exceptions.

This is just terrible adni. These are so obviously ripped walls. This "rbilmen" person/persons did not even try to disquise them. Just blatant stealing!! > I think "rbilmen" is short for (r)ipped (b)y (i)mmoral (l)ittle (men).

Another good method to get at them is to do the following: 1. Go to "Control Panel" and make sure it's in "Classic View" 2. Now, click on "Internet Options" 3.

WiseOldMan, I have a little application called "Window Washer". I run it and it finds all that stuff, (and a whole lot more) and gets rid of it for me. If you really prefer the manual method, then follow MikeB314's lead.
