oh, and:

Zero likes Hentai games, nya nya ^__^

Oh, and:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v200/aboot/naamloos.jpg

My desktop on my mum's computer. Hence it's in Dutch.

oh! Zero's got Vista! Me too!

1) Zero's desktop seems very much XP to me, with a calendar applet installed
2) Vista isn't even out yet
3) Vista will most likely suck anyway (18 GB for an OS is just retarded)
4) It won't get decent before they release at least one service pack for it, so for now you're better off with XP

you want the screenshot for my Vista?

(that is the point of this thread...)

Yeah Id be willing to bet thats XP, with Rainlendar installed.
I think I'll post my screenie sometimeround the end of novemeber.

Tip: If you want a dock without the resourcehog dock apps...put all the shortcuts of the programs/files you want into a dock, and upon each reboot drag it to a corner of your screen.

(VERY usefull IMHO)

Hmm...This seems to be the appropiate thread to wonder, what exactly is considered HD? I always considered 1600x XXXX = high res.... but now that I think about it im not sure.

Mine right now is 1920x1200.

HD and high resolution aren't the same thing. Just using a high resolution doesn't mean you're using HD-TV resolution.

I like Angelics desktop.

So... what anime is she from? :lol:

Kimi ga Nozomu Eien and Akane Maniax, though I prefer the earlier to the latter by far.

Akane Maniax was horrible.

Wow... sleek anime...

what is it with men and cars -.- ....... I mean really

What's with you and always nagging people about what they like? -.- I mean really.

If you don't have anything useful to say, don't say it. You're always complaining when people like something you don't like or when people don't like something you do like. Live with it that not everyone has the same interests as you do, will make your life much easier.

I do like Noir7's layout it's very pretty, unfortunately I do not know how to capture a screen shot with my laptop so I can't post my rather funny background but it's alrigh I suppose.

Press Prt SCr. Open paint, go to edit>paste. Go to File Save as (put name) and make sure the file is set to jpeg or jpg (the tab under where you type the file's name) then upload it to somewhere like www.photobucket.com or www.imageshack.us

Still, minimalistic rocks...altho I can never keep mine thatway.

Yup. iBookG4.

I chose it to be in black so it resembles L from Death Note. If it didn't, then I would've gone with a lighter shade of gray.

Nice and organized...I dont know how you people do that O_o

Easy. Just throw all your exe/icons into a folder. That's for windows.

Being a linux guy, Icons arn't usually used. It's easier to remember the uniq-name for the program (firefox, comix, kwrite, k3b, ect) and type it in a run box, called by pressing alt+f2.

yeah thats what I have (my pseudo dock) but I set firefox to download stuff to my desktop for example...so its handy, then I always forget to clean it up...same with my bookmarks. Infact only times I ever cleaned it up abit are to post screenshots :(

*messy*

I have a download folder =p I only download stuff to my desktop when I know I'll delete it after I use them (installers for instance)

Can i just ask...how do you do the PrintScreen thingy on a Mac?! Cause I really can't find the button.....XD

Screen Capture

One way to take screen shots is to invoke Mac OS X's built-in screen capture capability by pressing the following keyboard shortcuts:

* Command-Shift-3: Immediately takes a picture of the entire screen.
* Command-Shift-4: Changes the cursor into crosshairs. Drag the crosshairs over a section of the screen, then release the mouse button to capture the shaded area.

By default, screen shots captured in this fashion are saved as PNG image files on the Finder's desktop, sequentially named Picture 1, Picture 2, etc. To copy the image to the Clipboard instead, hold down the Control key when you press the appropriate keyboard shortcut.

Those are the basic methods of capturing screen shots, but you can get a little fancy when necessary. Suppose you want to take a picture of just one window, only the menu bar, a particular menu, or some other distinct screen element? After all, extraneous items in the background will distract your audience's attention if you're trying to focus on only one particular thing. You could use Command-Shift-3 to snap the entire screen and then manually edit the resulting image file, or you could use Command-Shift-4 and try to meticulously select only the portion of the screen you want. Better yet is to press Command-Shift-4, then press the spacebar. This changes the cursor from crosshairs to a camera. As you move the camera cursor over screen objects, they are highlighted. When the item you want is highlighted, click it and the captured image will contain that precise item with no unsightly extra pixels around the edges.

Are you ready for the trick I promised to show you? OK, here goes. When your victim leaves his or her Mac unattended, press Command-Shift-3 to take a picture of the entire screen in its current state (ideally there will be a bunch of windows open with buttons displayed). Open Desktop & Screen Saver preferences, and make the Picture 1 screen shot the new desktop file. Deselect the "Change picture" check box so that it never picks another image, then close Desktop & Screen Saver preferences. Sneak away and wait for the sounds of befuddlement when your victim starts wondering aloud why the onscreen windows can't be closed, buttons don't react when clicked, and icons can't be dragged. Of course none of these screen elements function properly because they exist only as part of the image file decorating the desktop. After you've had your fun, revert Desktop & Screen Saver preferences to their previous settings.

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h255/porschegtiii/TopoftheDesk.jpg

Omg, I love serious cat.

how in the world do you post it!

Go to the very bottom of your desktop. (The corner) Click and hold and drag it all over your desktop til everything is highlighted. Then, press Alt+Print Screen on your keyboard, open paint, press Ctrl+V, and that's it.

^^

Press Prt SCr. Open paint, go to edit>paste. Go to File Save as (put name) and make sure the file is set to jpeg or jpg (the tab under where you type the file's name) then upload it to somewhere like www.photobucket.com or www.imageshack.us

What anime is that?

EroGuro Visual Nove: Saya no Uta.

I wouldn't recommend it if you haven't played very many Visual novels before. It's pretty graphic and suggestive...

From the game :
Note these are just background images. Slightly on the heavy gore side.

*Cries in corner*

Reminds me of Doom 3

Doom 3 meets dating sim XD

so its a dating sim? where can I access it?

Not a real DS. More like a read, read, read, get three choices, and then read your choice ending. A single click of human interaction over 12 hours of gameplay.It was my mistake calling it a dating sim. It is a Visual novel. And they do cost money. Round about 40 USD without import shipping (usually doubles the price).

And I'm going to repeat that this should not be your first Visual Novel. Go with something more mainstream like Planetarian, Shuffle!, Tsukihime, Kanon, or Fate/Stay Night | Fate/Hollow Ataraxia. Note: most listed---more accurately all---are Japanese region games, you'll have to go through a long process to get it running smoothly by modifying your computer settings. Even then you have to find either a translation patch or an inline translator if you cannot read Japanese script.

It you're still interested in playing the game (which you shouldn't be), it's made by nitroplus, and can be found at Jlist, last I checked,

and I am ... :topic:

Why does Mies still have Windows? He plays games? :mellow:

You can only go so far with emulation (as in file extension issues/problems), and sometimes I don't wanna go through the hassle to WINE a program onto my Linux Box. So I just boot up the laptop and call it good.

You said it best a month back: Windows may not be the best, but it is convenient.

M... your desktop dissapoints me. It is so... basic. x_x

Is it too organized for Jaso?

Actually I prefer clean desktops than the grungy wallpapers elsewhere. Those kinds of images makes it difficult to work with.

You have too many icons on your (windows) desktop.

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/SolarBoyDjango27613/Desktop1.png

That's been my background for ages. Still loving it too. >_>
Dragons & Wyverns is my friend's forum.
I was watching some anime on youtube at the time of the screenshot.

Why are you advertising forums? That is the only of few rules here and you break it!!!

How did he advertise? He didn't mention a URL so it isn't advertising. He merely mentioned Dragons & Wyverns because it was on his desktop

Also, it's private to only my school pals, and nobody can join unless verified by my friend. The security's really tight on it, so either way, it's impossible for outsiders to join..... literally. >_>

Why are you advertising forums? That is the only of few rules here and you break it!!!

Not advertising. I used to mention Writing Forums all the time, but if you don't URL link it (like Crystal said), it's not advertising.

I agree, it's not advertising. Case closed *hammer*

"Owie!"

I didn't notice the Icon on his desktop; I thought it was unrelated advertising...

*sowwy*

wow... the advertising rule really is strict here.:think:

On a totally unrealated note, I'd probably switch to Mac OS if they'd at least PUT A GOD DAMN RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON.


But good thing we have Windows Vista, which is pretty much a ripoff of Mac OS.

I got the best of both worlds

unless you want a laptop....thats a real retarded statement, and if you want a lappy use external mouse...or hold ctrl..I thought it would be annoying...but its become second nature for me.

Yeah, at first I couldn't figure out how to right-click. Now I always try to use the "Ctrl+click" on the school computers..XD
@ Zero, I like it how the icons are all at the bottom, so it doesn't cover the wallpaper ^_^

I bet you've never even used Vista? Stop talking rubbish about it just to sound cool. The only people who talk rubbish about Windows are people who know shit about computers, but heard that Windows is bad a few years ago and thus repeat the statement because they think bashing MS makes them look cool. Windows WAS shit, up till ME. 2000 and XP are pretty solid products, and so is Vista. I was sceptical about Vista, then I worked with it and I was forced to swallow my words. It's a pretty damn solid piece of work. So stop moaning about Windows being bad, try upgrading from your petty ME machine first.

this endless lament about windows seems annoying to me, too.. i use windows and it kinda works well, no security oder system problems. i'm satisfied with that!

Realistically, it wasn't windows that was bad, but IE 6.x, it's inter/intra-net security, and rights management. If those three are fixed, you'll have a pretty darn good OS with impressive ease of use.

IE 6 is fixed with an outside program, or just install IE 7; networking is fixed by a firewall, spyware, and virus scanners; And file permissions... It exists on XP, but the average user can't set it up. I think Vista corrected this, but I've only used Vista long enough to understand how things are placed (my job only has one in office, and it's currently getting configuration scripts being written for it).


As for macs... Last mac I touched was the Apple ][. My jobs going to teach me more about them soon.

Then why do I use Linux primarily? It's practically build for Computer Science students right out of the box for reasons too long to list. Not to mention windows users have forgotten the power of "running" applications (I know the console still exists in windows, but it sucks) out of a console window. Also, no one knows linux, therefore when someone tries to do something on your computer and all they get is a terminal to work around, they just walk away. Viruses are almost nonexistent, spanning 40 or so et exista. Even if a virus got on the system, it can't effect anything because all OS files are under lock and key.

I like the *nix/Win/Mac OS debate :)

I think X was saying vista was a bitch because of ripping off OSX O_o...thats how I read it.

Windows: not as bad as people say, I got like 2 BSODs in my life, sometimes stuff didnt work, but then again I never bothered to find out why back then so those were probably user errors..

Gaming is fun and supported, always a plus. Win isnt half bad, in fact win was perfect for me, the only reason I switched to OSX was out of curiosity...

OSX: been nice, if it could game I would probably replace windows with it for a couple of years (note I haven't used vista so I'm comparing it to XP) just for the heck of it.

*nix: actually had Ubuntu running for about a week and half , booted into it a couple times, mainly for email work and stuff, just to check it out, it was nice, I didn't really get the whole terminal/apt get thing but that was probably because I didn't try.

All in all, anyone who uses computer for email, IM, and music would NOT notice the difference between the OSes...they are all as easy to use once properly configured. Just goes back to taste and specific programs/things you want to do with your computer.

My oldest bro has Vista on his pc.

and yes Luis is right I was only saying that about vista because how they are somewhat similar.

Oh you use Vista, me too sometimes...

Still stuck with XP ... <_<

and stick with it.

Theres nothing you want that only runs with Vista yet. Its also still buggy.

It also eats a lot of memory.

Actually Vista runs more smoothly than XP does, but, never having properly used it, I'm sure you wouldn't know.

Games are slower on Vista, I won't deny that, but the desktop is definitely faster.

Also, new wallpaper:

Oh, it is smooth, I'm not questioning that, but the suggested amount of memory for Vista is higher then those of say os x or xp. So it does get jittery if you try to use it on just a regular old pc that was meant for xp.

Actualy I think this depens greatly on how you want vista to look like, all the pretty effects and stuff WILL have an effect on your experience, GPU/proc will run hotter, there will be less ram available, intensive tasks will get you throttling quicker.

Haters call Vista XPv2, XP was pretty good, so I would take that as a compliment. :D

No, it's Seras Victoria from Hellsing. =p

@RD: Vista uses about 400 - 450 MB of memory, XP uses about 250 - 300 (all based on clean installs of course). Windows 98 didn't even come near that, so I don't see your problem.

PC's with 512 MB of ram are standard, PC's with 1 GB of memory are becoming more common by the day. In the time of XP 128 MB was normal, on which XP would barely run. Now 512 is normal, which will run Vista better than XP ran on 128 MB. So I really don't see your problem. Stop bashing Vista for going along with the time and growing with the systems of today. XP also didn't run on the average designed-for-Win98 PC. You're just looking for reasons to bash Vista just because it's MS, and that's just sad.

And you mention OSX, but I don't see your point in doing that. OSX is not a PC OS, so it's not an option unless you want to spend too much money buying new hardware. Hell, OSX isn't even a real Apple product, it's just a version of BSD Unix with a GUI. Also, OSX only works on a very small amount of hardware-setups. Windows has to be much more versatile. Of course it can't be optimized as much.

Seriously, bashing Windows to be cool is so nineties.

Edit: Oh yeah, and mac users are generally stupid idiots who know shit about computers. They think they're so great because they have Mac, and they hide behind their imaginary wall of safety. When the day comes a heavy virus will hit their systems they'll be crying and running around crazily not knowing what to do, because they thought they'd be safe. And then I'll just point and laugh.

MacOS is just heavily overrated.

Where did that come from? It's generally considered uncool to bash FF, so no none would bash FF just to be cool. I bash FF because I think Squaresoft has completely raped the series, especially after 7 (9 was an exception).

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy FF7, but the OMG-SEPHIROTH-IS-COOL people are just fucking annoying. FF8 is rubbish, FF9 rocks cos it's oldskool, everything after that sucks again (although the sphere grid in FFX was kinda cool).

But, we're way off-topic here. Post your damn desktop :P

By the way, that comic isn't even funny. To turn against it even, when you buy OSX you pay for all of it, even functionality you will never use. With Vista, you pay for what you use. If you never use a network domain, why spend money on a version with support for that? Just get one of the home editions. Don't need Aeroglass or Media Center? Just get Home Basic. Mac OS doesn't give you a choise. Besides, you can't buy Mac OS seperately, only upgrades for your excisting Mac OS which came with your system.

Also, with ANY major linux distro you can run any type of Desktop environment, not just the Ubuntu distro. Be it Gnome, K, Xfce, Al, WinMan; heck there are even alternates to BASH!

Greetings Linux fanboy. Firefox crashing on Windows is a Firefox issue, or there is something wrong with your school computers. So don't bash Windows for it, or I'll become nasty. Seriously, bashing Windows is not funny anymore. It's been done. So stfu about it and think up something original.

Actually, a lot of desktop Linux distros are more user friendly than they used to be. My box is a Compaq Presario SR1620NX w/ 512 Meg RAM, 160 Gig of storage. I dual boot Win/ Linux because of compatability (i.e. Wine won't run everything) and have lin kerneral 2.6. The OS is Ubuntu w/ KDE, GNOME, and Xcfe. I was thinking of triple boot w/ external HD. If so, I'd try Bee or Solaris.
I'm learning C++ and thinking of writing a linux distro based on Nintendo's GUI for their DS.

Real Linux users use VMs when it comes to running multiple OSs. Far more handy that having to reboot every time you wanna get into your other OS.

But this guy is obviously not a real Linux user, but a Linux n00bie. The fact that he's using Ubuntu should tell you that. And then he wants to write his own distro. Just make your own Gnome skin, lol.

As Angelic said, Ubuntu is a noob distro (even I used it for a while, that should be proof enough) yes I know linux has gotten alot more user friendly lately, get some experience under your belt before writing anything.

hmm..I should clean up my HD and VM Ubuntu....

In defense, I don't use VMs because I find that an OS usually runs smoother when you boot from it. And I use Ubuntu because I share a computer with 4 other people, 5 of which don't know what a command line is.

...im not too bright...but
VM = virtual machine

Virtual indicates some sort of emulation...= speed drop

so...DUR?

That makes me laugh, honestly. If that's your attitude don't do anything with computers, an administrator/program creator shouldn't let himself be held back by the end user. If you really knew Linux you'd either set up another Linux distro next to your Ubuntu one or you'd set up a more advanced distro. Seriously, once set up Suse is as easy to use as Ubuntu. If you can't set it up, then you have nothing to look for in the Linux development world.

And on another note: we're getting heavily off-topic here.

I have a question Angelic: How'd you get your toolbar and stuff to be Orange and Black?

there's themes you can download from microsoft and a few other sources. I personally prefer skinning apps (e.g. windowblinds) but you can use whatever you want.

I hate skinning apps, they lower general system stability and hog resources. I prefer the built-in Luna engine of Windows XP.

well I said this on IRC, but if im not mistaken thats zune theme for windows...I do believe there was also a black zune theme.

I believe the black zune theme is unofficial.
