"So what IS the inteface on a Linux computer? " Well, technically the interface on a Linux system is your wonderful little textual console - but really, next to nobody uses that anymore, thanks to the joys of X Windows. There's no standard interface to *nix though, which is both one of its strengths /and/ a huge failing of it. There are a multitude of different window managers out there for users to take advantage of.
"They even ripped one of my 2 (yes, count 'em) 2 windowblinds skins." You've got to look at it more optimistically, Werewolf! You have a 50% ripping rate for your skins! how many other skins authors can say their skins are ripped /that/ often? (Well, save maybe Adni. ) /me does the usual hiding thing. ^_^
Aye, a hearty welcome back to WOM too! Good to see both back, and 'good as new'. ^_^
Hrm - no clue from me either! I'd think the largest windowblinds name allowed would be the windows limit of 255 characters - but the largest that wincustomize would allow? Dunno.
"does KDE still eat up resources like a hog?" It has never done that for me! I imagine the newest uses a bit more resources though - with the additional eye-candy, but I've never found it a resource hog. It's no blackbox, but at least it's no Gnome either! /me still shudders at the mere mention of Enlightenment though. I still have e16 nightmares.
Glad to hear you're home and doing okay, Fuzzy! Welcome back.
Feline: *leonine* i may do something else, but i am not telling in advance! if you want to know, you are going to have to get under the dress and find out for yourself! ***BLUSH*** Tsk! Talk like that only encourages somebody into hiding! Speaking of... I hear more thoughts of gowns and bikinis and ticklings... /me hides under said dress! As for who's tickling who...w ell, if I wind up in a gown -and- a dark chocolate bikini... people are just going to have to t
"look into Enlightenment. it does not only skin the windows," What Moshi forgets to mention however is that it's a *nix Window manager's job to handle window appearance. ^_^
Feline: *leonine* i am the shy polite one! it is dracoform who is likely to scratch, not me! So you're suggesting that the only thing you'd do is blush? I'm not buyin' it! ^_^ Da Feline Again: "so??? *giggles* however, this does raise the question, are you suggesting you are going to be running around tackling and stripping " Now things start to get interesting though! Uhm, hrm... The answer would all depend on if there's a dark chocolate (or any kind?) bikini
Uhm. Have you just tried using PrtSc (Print Screen) in Windows? Hit that - and it copies your desktop to the clipboard which you can then paste into Photoshop or PSP or even MS Paint or something. Ever since at least 98. (Don't remember if you could in 95 or not.)
I've got the URL to Rainy's page nearly memorized now! ^_^
Rainlendar, rainlendar, rainlendar. Oh well, it /has/ been a couple days since someone's asked that question. ^_^ http://vapaa.dc.inet.fi/~rainy/
Elfkura dear - if I could hide from responibility and from growing up for this long - /surely/ I can remain hidden awhile longer from an -elf-! ^_~
"*draocoform* points out you could try hiding under leonine's dress! " Eeep? I'd wind up pretty scratched - I think! /me ponders the eternal question of shimmering ball gown or chocolate bikini. Is it dark chocolate? Who can resist good dark chocolate after all? I could be wrong - really, I could be, but I just don't think I'm a woman this week! So... just don't be surpris
/me is doing a good job of staying away from things like message boards, the roommate, and the outdoors today. Basically, anything which involves interaction with other people. I -did- get weak though - and bought a pack. I've had /one/ though - and I've had my roommate hide them and keep 'em from me. ^_^
Unfortunately, this is fairly commonplace too - and IIRC it stems from developers insisting on using /their/ own methods of creating menus/etc. than the Windows 'standard'. Office XP uses the new .NET style toolbars and menus. Windowblinds (and even visual styles,) won't touch them. I've a ton of programs written in Delphi that don't get their menus and toolbars skinned with either. (Now those Delphi programs - they do some /weird/ stuff too, like sometimes not appea
Well, I was -supposed- to do it a week ago - but I kept wussing out and buying another pack. The 'good' thing (I suppose,) is that I /did/ manage to slow down a /lot/ - so trying to be optimistic, I keep telling myself that it's not as /much/ of a nicotine fix that my body's got to get over. ^_^ Fortunately, I don't think the habitual part is going to be -too- hard to break.. as long as I stay away from the car, or don't play any console games, for the next few weeks. ^.^ Th
Two quick, simple notes: 1. x86 architecture is, honestly, anything but out of date. AMD with x86-64 is more than proving that. Intel's little foray into RISC computing (IA-64) is actually showing to be Mhz per Mhz way /less/ efficient than the current state of x86 (though granted, x86 architecture does have a 20+ year optimization advantage.) 2. I'm out of cigarettes. I haven't had a cigarette today. I've finally decided to stop smoking... one of you will most likely be
Yes, but some marks are worth getting! ^_~
*chuckles* The last time I worked as a tech I got called out on numerous calls from people whose kids had put Kazaa and its spyware on their system and it killed things.
/me slips -totally- off topic really quick to give da Shmoopy a hug. Uh.... darn - I had a witty comment to throw here too, but it disappeared on me. ARGH! ^_^
Kazaa isn't a very popular beast around here. ^_^
Yes - the law of Diminishing Returns is very much alive and well in the world of computers. ^_^
"It's a 64-bit chip with backwards-compatability with 32-bit code" Which honestly, to 90%+ of the computer users out there is not going to make the least lick of difference, really. 64 bit computing is /not/ some great speed increase over 32 bit computing for every day use. The big draw of it is the increased amount of accessable memory - which is one of the reasons you're seeing Intel's IA-64 marketed only in the server arena.
I wondered about that, IPlural - but I'm wondering what the limited resolution is, and how annoying the watermark is. ^_^
