The featured screenshot got mentioned in the admin discussion board today too... funny, I didn't see it as sexual at all, more 'medical' if anything.

If you get rude comments email one of the admins (or all of the admins), they can do something about it. Our addresses can be found under "about" in the "options" section on the left. Some of the names listed aren't active so it might be best to send it to the ones you recognize from the message board.

kona, I'd recommend you show it to your local police, or the state cops. They'd probably like to send someone over to interview this guy... and it'd be better for you to know if the guy lives in another country or something. yes China, that's better I'd rather see you than Jerry though...

A few years ago a freind of mine who worked for a gas wholesaler told me to fill up all my cars cause prices were gonna go up in about a week. He said they were warned that there would be a huge price jump but don't tell anyone... A week later prices jumped about 20 cents a gallon right after an "accident" caused a gas refinery in Los Angeles to blow up. He said yep, that was it, and that plant wasn't even part of the supply chain, it was old and they needed to replace it

Wow that's a drag. My brother lives in Phoenix, I didn't realize it was that bad... I guess he can't get enough gas to drive to a phone Funny but we just had the same excuse for a price jump here in Oregon (Portland at least). Our price went up 17 cents today because a pipeline failed in Anacordis WA. The local supermarket gas deal here is Fred Meyer which was $1.59 for regular and today it was $

doh! just read your original post all the way through and I see you already know about WindowsFX and WB... I doubt that the inactive state has a transparency setting, it's probably a coincidence that it looks like it's under the focus window.

There used to be transparent explorer backgrounds in Windowblinds but that's not supported anymore. You can use a utility like WindowsFX which is part of Object Desktop or you can do it with Windowblinds Alpha adjustment in Skin Studio. The easiest way is download one of my skins, Alien Technology, it has a plugin that lets you set the individual window's transparency. Be aware that transparency can slow your machine down if overused.

kona - everyone is right, you should report it to his ISP and it wouldn't hurt to mention it to your local police too. Maybe they have a geek on the force that would love to track this guy down. and meanwhile, also like people said, don't worry. There's not much you could do to stop a determined killer hiding in the shadows with a high powered rifle...

I watch so little TV I can't think of any commercials. If I ever have the TV on and a commercial break happens I hit the mute button so fast I'm spared even a note of jingle. Do they still do jingles? I do remember one ad campaign that I despised. It was a Honda campaign that ran in California with different ads for Northern or Southern Californians. It was so insulting that when I happened to meet

RFID - it's a new technology that is being pushed as a boon to manufacturing, distribution and marketing. But it has a dark side. The technology is a tiny chip that's included in products, including clothing. The desire is to have it in everything. It has a unique serial number which can be tracked from the manufacturer, through the retail process to eventually being identified with the purchaser. The privacy fear is both the irritation of targeted marketing (like in Minority Report

a blade and hot water... I switched to an Atra about ten years ago because I couldn't find single-edge blades anywhere except hardware stores. I won't buy Gillette anymore because of their pushing the RFID retail systems so I buy generic refills.

You could try this: Creative Element Power Tools I'm not sure if would do that but it does a lot of cool stuff. I got it for a couple features but I waited too long after installing it and it timed out before I went
