And if the winner does the skin /without/ an apple logo on the start button - you get my eternal love and adoration! /me watches skinners running for the hills screaming. "Darn." Tempting though - getting my now expired Object Desktop subscription renewed. *sigh*
You know - I have to say that I clicked on this topic thinking it would be something related to skinning! You know, about whether certain designs are a creation, or merely an evolution of an older, and the merits of each. Oy. O.o
*snickers* Thanks there Cerebro... it was /not/ my morning. And, don't ask me - ask the artist - I can't take credit for the background, sadly. My illustration talents aren't /that/ good yet!
I tell you weaht though - I /really/ want to live where you guys do, where you're finding $13 audio CDs! ^.^
Radiostorm 80's in iTunes - right now it happens to be: Beastie Boys - "Paul Revere" (Great choice, Radiostorm!)
Heh - grrr, helps if I remember to link it, doesn't it. O.o *sigh* Just waking up. I don't feel like resizing or anything ATM, so: http://skins.wincustomize.com/kthxbye/desktop.jpg If the link will take.
Okay, I give in. Let's see if it will the server will keep my desktop pic this time too. My precrash desk, lost to the ages - well, save for this pic.
"The CD can have a poster, special paper, the CD can be cut in a funky shape, grow in the dark, link up with another case, include a book, and other marketing stuff." Bah. When I go to get a CD there's only one thing I want: Music. DiscoPopStar: If you poke about and find the age of many of the long-time people here... you'll be surprised. ^_^ Personally, I consider myself one of the young ones, and I too am a child of the 80s! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/sm
Another thing to think about regarding converting the song files to play on another mp3 player (like mine, which is a CD one, but only supports mp3. Grrr.) is that AAC isn't a proprietary format at all. There are multiple players/converters/etc. out there for Windows which can handle AAC. Playing with the radio streams now. The 128 kbps streams sound -great- (I just wish it had a New Wave stream, instead of just a generic 80's one! Already playing a repeat too.. hrm... Might have t
There are better players out there. I can't compare it to anything else regarding the whole 'jukebox' thing, since before I downloaded iTunes to try the PC version (I agree, the Mac version's wonderful.) I never messed with such a thing. To me, my 'jukebox' is keeping all of my CDs in seperate folders! ^_^ It's a great app, so far, and Apple's best work yet for the PC. Hopefully I'll be able to get some money and try buying something from iTMS soon (or get lucky and get a gift certi

If your budget allows it, the Athlon 64 FXes are looking more than a little tasty... Jim - your system's setup quite similar to mine. ^_^

AUGH!!! Boxxi - that will give me nightmares!!! ^.^ (Yes, a rare, now at least, appearance by me. Whee.)
Man, I cringe everytime I see a comment about making Windows look like a Mac, or Linux... Still - this can easily proove to be one of the coolest new 'toys' of the year - or next year, depending on when it makes it's appearance to us end-users!
Always had nothing but respect for you, Draginol - but... " Entertainers on the left who go into rehab for illegal drugs..." Please. Bit of a narrow-minded comment, yes? I think a far more accurate statement would have been: "Entertainers who go into rehab for illegal drugs..." Doesn't matter if you're left wing, right wing, middle of the road. Rush isn't getting so much notice because he's right-wing. Rush is getting so much notice because he's... well, R
*sighs* Figures - right when my OD subscription's run out! Oh well, there's always just keeping Gator and their ilk in my HOSTS file, too. ^.^
Or.... perhaps PDC atendees won't get a copy with Aero because... it doesn't work yet? ^.^
Heh - there's been multiple books, articles, and documentaries on the subject (I can't think of a title right now - but I'm also nursing a migraine... yeah, and I'm online... heh.. I'll have to look later,) but this is the way the US recording industry has operated since at least the 1950's. From what I understand, it's actually a little better -now- than it was decades ago. Sad, isn't it?
RPC: Remote Procedure Call. In a nutshell, it (the RPC service,) is one of the critical services of Windows NT. ^.^
Uh - the watermarked images in the special folders and shellstyles and such are all part of WB4 and XP, Agent.
This is cool for all of the people who go out of their way to make their PCs more Mac-like. But... honestly, I find Musicmatch to be a better program than iTunes anyway.
Whee! Okay - just had to post something quickly! Not earth shattering news, or even really important news but: I'm still alive! Yeah, yay, go me. ^_^ I just -finally- got a job (Nothing much, just management at Blockbuster,) that requires me being up /much/ earlier than I'm used to - so I've been working all day long and coming home - and the last thing that's been on my mind is sitting in front of my computer! (So, I've been sitting in front of... the Xbox. O.o)
Wow. XFree86 is -not- a linux thing. It's a totally platform independant windowing system which came into existance awhile back due to the high costs of commercial X-Windowing systems. If you understand X at all - you also know it has nothing to do with friendliness or unfriendliness of a desktop - but that's neither here nor there... The new version of XFree, simply put, is -sweet-. Yes, it's still lacking in many things - even some of the XFree devs have said so -
Have you looked at e107? www.e107.org
Help? Yes, first - turn off your bloody caps lock. It's a quick way to get everyone to ignore you and think "Good riddance." Second, learn the vaguest principles of the proper use of punctuation - especially ellipsis. See the above reason for the reason why. Now, more help. Implying that "Microsoft has their hand in something" because something in the world isn't necessarily 100% free makes people want to merely do the same as above. It's a childish, and quite frankly, stu
Thoughts on OE versus Outlook XP? Well, I use Outlook XP on my notebook (For the calendar and the like) - but the biggest differences I've noticed so far are this: MESSAGE RULES: In Outlook Express, they always worked flawlessly, 100% of the time - no matter how simple or convoluted my message rules where. In Outlook XP - they only automatically run whenever they feel like it, it seems. I can't find any rhyme or reason as to why sometimes they run when I have incoming mai
