[pokerfan]

1. I'm a wild man

[Archae]

2. Bleah!

[qnr]

16. Looks like mine :) 'cept I don't have any icons or panels, I do everything

by a popup menu.

[alcibiades_mystery]

3. Cheers

[Archae]

4. That's pretty cool!

[alcibiades_mystery]

5. Compiz-Fusion on Ubuntu 8.04

Free as in motherfucking freedom.

:-)

[qnr]

18. Gettin' some gimp time in huh? n/t

[alcibiades_mystery]

24. Y'all know me

Still the same OG...

[crimsonblue]

6. here ya go

[qnr]

14. Nice, I like the subdued feel to it n/t

[crimsonblue]

17. i usually change backgrounds a couple times a week, but

I've kept this one up for a month or so...

[qnr]

7. .

[crimsonblue]

8. wow

i've not seen many people running that OS...

[qnr]

10. Yeah, I tend to run a lot, Bluebottle and Oberon-2, Minix, AFROS and others n/t

[crimsonblue]

12. I take it you get bored easily...

or you're just fidgety and shit...

[qnr]

13. Nah, to be honest, I don't think I've ever been bored in my life. I just enjoy experimenting n/t

[crimsonblue]

15. i can dig...

When I get bored, I install a new linux distro and play with it for a while. but i keep coming back to my OS X... she's purty.

[qnr]

19. I understand. Well, Linux is primary for me (I'm a developer for a distro) but I enjoy off-beat OSe

various Atari and Amiga OSes are regularly used at my house, for example.

[crimsonblue]

20. may I ask...

what distro? And I loves me some Amiga... I got a 5 yr old HP with it on it (along with 2 linux and a hackintosh distro)

[qnr]

22. Source Mage GNU/Linux

http://www.sourcemage.org

[alcibiades_mystery]

9. hardcore

:-)

[qnr]

11. Not a lot of eye-candy (which I don't care for), but it's both an OS and a programming

language, you can add things to the OS at will.

[RoyGBiv]

32. You changed!

:)

I always look forward to seeing yours. Reminds me there is life beyond my addiction to playing with eye-candy.

[qnr]

40. Well, I actually did a sudo cat /dev/vcs2 > screenshot since that was where I happened

to be when I originally read the thread :) but I didn't know if people would understand that ASCII text was literally a screenshot, so I took a screenshot of Oberon running in X instead

Edit: s/were/where/

[RoyGBiv]

21. Hello, Dave ...

I'm feeling a bit blue today ...

[qnr]

23. I like! n/t

[crimsonblue]

25. which data folder is you pron folder?

:P

[RoyGBiv]

26. Which?

Oh, ya know ... one hard drive gets full, add another'n. :-)

[crimsonblue]

28. that's why I have a converted dell tower

dedicated, encrypted pron tower.... j/k.. it's actually for backup and secure storage and remote access (when I travel abroad, i swap to a 'clean' HDD on my lappie, and do remote access if I need anything).

[qnr]

30. pr0n & state secrets should go on SDCards, for rapid destruction of evidence - even better, the

thinner MMC cards.

[crimsonblue]

31. I use 256 key encryption. Mounted HDDs

don't appear without a certain key command to bring up the login and then the password. I'm paranoid, to say the least.

[qnr]

33. Understandable. I've messed with the same. Actually, I have no info worth

hiding, but it has occurred to me in the past that SD cards might be appropriate if you needed something that could be rapidly destroyed, and kept hidden away somewhere. Me, I just use them for photos and on my N800.

[RoyGBiv]

38. All mine are removable ...

I have on hard drive mounted in the system itself. It's relatively small, having nothing on it but the OS, my smallish home folder, and the home folders for the other people that occasionally use the machine.

The rest are in removable trays. I think I have five or six ... lost count. :) They're all encrypted.

I don't even know why actually, other than this borderline unhealthy desire to keep anyone and everyone out of my business. I've got movies and CDs I've ripped (from stuff I own) on those drives, which I suppose the RIAA cops would like to investigate. A pox on their houses.

[bluesbassman]

27. Not too trick, just two of my favorite people doing what they enjoy.

[crimsonblue]

29. silly XPer....

tee hee.

[bluesbassman]

35. Yeah, kind of a Luddite that way.

Hope it don't crash on me now that I'll never be able to get any more support.:scared:

[qnr]

37. I thought that I'd read on BBC that they've decided that it will be supported.

I don't use Windows, so I didn't really pay a lot of attention to the article.

[crimsonblue]

39. plus, they're continuing to sell XP

Dell is, anyway. But they're charging MORE for XP than Vista, and every copy of XP goes down in accounting as a Vista sale.

[qnr]

41. Why am I not surprised. n/t

[ironflange]

34. Another Linux box

Pardus 2008

[qnr]

43. Nice, though I can't quite figure out which planet it is. Color of Jupiter,

but the scale in relation to the ring structure makes me think Neptune or Uranus, except they're blue. I guess it's Saturn, but the color looks off.

[ironflange]

49. It's Saturn

You can only see some of the thin inner rings, but the shadows of the main ones are on the planet.

My Desktop #3 shows earthrise from Apollo 8.

[qnr]

50. Yeah, the shadows made me think Saturn n/t

[mcctatas]

36. Here's mine...

I don't know how to actually import my desktop, but this is the current picture:

[qnr]

42. heheheh n/t

[bluesbassman]

44. You're raising some subversives there!

[mcctatas]

45. I'm hoping to have them on the "no fly" list by their next birthdays

:evilgrin:

The sucky thing about it is that my 12 year old has better penmanship than I do!

and just because I'm one of those annoying "aren't my kids great" moms, here's another one from sidewalk chalk day:

[bluesbassman]

47. *snort* "no fly list"! Way to go Mom!

Hey, flaunt it if you've got it! As my grannie used to say: "Every crow thinks theirs is the blackest".:rofl:

Really though, great looking kids you have there, you should be proud. :hi:

[qnr]

48. In that case, you should probably buy your daughter some shoes :) n/t

[Symarip]

46. Ubuntu and beer pong

Together at last.
