imagination example: some people read a scifi and go "you know that would be possible except..." and then they try to figure it out. other people read a scifi an go "alien space mutants! cool!" You know, I think that may be a big part of it. I also love sci fi, and computers are one of the m
oops. double post.
WC was like 'the other woman' and disliked with a passion, Veery interesting. My wife calls my computer my 'girlfriend' or "the other woman". I also have two friends whose wives say the same thing about their computers. O.K., so are there any ladies out there who have this other man problem? <img

Hey all. O.K., I've been here on WC for about 3 years more or less, and I absolutely love customizing my rig. I've got a buddy who is also very much into computers, and after I downloaded the DX theme 'LCARS NCC1.00A' by alpha-omega, I thought I'd introduce him to the world of WC. Good idea, right? Share the wealth and all that. Well guess what? After showing him the DX theme, my favorite WB (Alien Technology by DavidK), and the rest of the OD Suit
O.K., by show of hands, who's ever gotten in trouble with a significant other, their kids, or maybe (shudder) an employer because of this addiction? One morning the wife went into coniptions(?) because the previous night at 11pm she said, "don't be up too late." I SAID "I won't." 3 hours later I finally crawled into bed. <img src="http://images.stardoc
I agree with you Lord Shitzu, without ever having heard the sound quality on any iRiver player, I am convinced that is the brand I wanna get. I was interested in 3 brands, iRiver, SanDisc, and Creative MuVo. I got on Google and just did a little comparison shopping for prices, features, usability, etc., and between that and the reviews for the various players iRiver came out head and shoulders above the rest. One of the features that seems to
Hey, check it out. I found this program called JHymn which converts m4p's to wavs and then from wavs to mp3's. Go ahead and give it a try here --> Link if you're interested. I know it works with iTunes 4.8 but I don't know if it'll work with ver. 4.9 yet. Hope you like it. I agree burning is a good way to backup and protect your music, especially when you've spent maybe a few hundred bucks on iTu
Does it count if you work with people in their 20's?
Hello! I've been unable to get online for a few days, so I'm just reading the newest responses. So here goes. Look at it this way: Burning a CD is protecting all the $$ you're spending on songs. If your hdd crashed and you lost all your files, you'd be upset right? This is the 'backup'
You are 100% correct on that Meowy, m4a and m4p are Apple or iTunes file types, but they work only on iPods. The thing is that I would prefer to purchase an mp3 player without having to pay Apple's price. $249 for a 4GB iPod Mini, when Creative has a 20GB player for the same price? I don't need to have the latest, greatest player. I went with iTunes because I like the ease with which I can purchase music, the price, and the playlists (which I am now
You can burn the tracks (as audio cd's) and then rip them as MP3's--that'll work with any mp3 player. Otherwise, you are pretty much stuck with Apple products. The services that use WMA formats work on a wider range of devices. Yeah, I'm just beginning to find this out. I read somewhere that the audio
Hello all! I'm in a bit of a quandary here and hoping that you can provide a bit of advice. I've used iTunes to download 80 or so tracks into mp3 format and not AAC, in the hope that I would be able to play my music with one of the SanDisc, Creative, or iRiver players. However, when I tried to play the "mp3" files in Winamp I had to download an m4p plugin. Will I have the same kind of problem when I purchase an mp3 player, or am I forced to
I wave been visiting WC for about four years and--no offense--but I have no idea of what is the purpose of the Screen Shots gallery. If it's to show how an individual has set up their desktop why don't they list the names of the components and how is this different from the monthly screen shot that are posted in the forum? Also, what is it that people are downloading from screen shots??? A Screen Shots No0b
From #6 "I would love to use it more if I wouln't have to completely personalyse each and every theme. It takes hours to do so and since I love having a desktop that changes according to my mood the seasons and the current politics, customizing each and every theme becomes really tedious." Maybe aufisch hit on it, because I can use 2 or 3 different WB skins in an average week. I guess the problems more with me than something with DX.
From a thread I was reading yesturday there are some here who would like to see a few more changes to DX, but is there anyone here who likes it enough to use it as their desktop on a day-in-day-out basis? I've tried and I always seem to revert back to windows standard (skinned by WB, IP, widgets et al of course). There seems to be something missing but I can't put my finger on what it is that's lacking. I really would like to be able to use it as my
Sorry Tarkus. Actually credit and congrats, go to cyber villan.
O.k., here's one that provides a good source of info on your rig. Belarc Advisor It examines your computer and can tell you among other things what version of windows, what type of drives and/or drivers (video, audio, etc.), what software licenses you have, bios and board versions and lots of other stuff. Very handy when you're trying to find out what's installed on a friends compu
Tarkus, I really like the Everest Home Edition! Way slick diagnostic tool and it covers a lot! Great suggestion. Thanks!
In a recent thread concerning some people's lack of computer security and viral infection, there were several free proggies mentioned, such as AVG & Zone Alarm to mention two. Thus I thought, why not set up a sort of software exchange where posters can inform others about cool, free, CLEAN (no adware-spyware) programs that will enhance the usability, security, or just plain coolness of your computer? All you have to do is list t
Don't take this the wrong way, because it's a nice proggie, but doesn't 'Right Click' permit you to do the same thing?
Ok, so we've all got to get up out of bed in the morning and go earn a living, but do you love the work you do? Why even Brad has to go to work, or that spiffy Jag he just bought goes back to the dealership, and that would be sad for those of us who live vicariously[?] through him. But I digress. Do you love the work you do, if not what would you like to be doing? And try to be
I tend to agree with the majority here, Vader would beat the snot outta Spidey. And I LIKE Spiderman, but lets face it, Vader would win. BTW, if you're interested in other good X vs. Y battles check out The Comic Book Universe Battles page. I hadn't thought about this page for a long time, until I came across this thread. Enjoy!

Weaksid, Butch123 If you like that you might want to check out the User Interface software called Meedio , that can be used with an HTPC setup. It's pretty cool also. I'm sure that a DesktopX interface could be built to do the same thing, but I don't know how to do scripting. Anyways. Enjoy.
I actually stumbled across this site while looking for info on setting up my home theater surround sound system--btw I found this place while looking for wallpapers. Ain't the net great!?! Anyway, you know those multimedia rigs that Microsoft, HP, and other companies are selling for $2000 and up? turns out they're pretty easy to build. AND you
