you cheat while using vim? That's so non-geeky :P
Nice Blade Runner rip, pook.

LOL :D
That is funny, you must understand that.
Someone having a folder for a downloaded rip on their desktop = mildly amusing. (Hide your pirated files before taking screenshots. ;)
I can't find the link right now, but I believe it was on a Dodge Neon forum... someone having a folder named "Shemale Pics" or something like that on their desktop = roflmao worthy. (And googling for it was useless, and will probably make people wonder about my google history. :eek: But, I didn't click anything, so... :p)

Nope, that's conky (http://conky.sourceforge.net/).Thanks for the quick reply, and I meant to ask this, but it is Linux only, isn't it?
I can post the conkyrc if you care all that much:

lol therac, this shot is apparently NYC (see the first image in this lifehacker article (http://lifehacker.com/5141191/find-images-by-exact-dimensions-make-wallpaper-search-a-breeze) from today)
Yeah, looks like maybe West 40th or so looking East -- the Empire State Building (at 34th) is to the right.

According to interfacelift it's 9th avenue (maybe there was a joke and I didn't get it).

It appears to be somewhere around 9th and 45th, facing east (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=milford+plaza&sll=40.751784,-73.977862&sspn=0.002544,0.004828&ie=UTF8&ll=40.75995,-73.990259&spn=0,359.997586&t=h&z=19&layer=c&cbll=40.759907,-73.99016&panoid=M-exnUduXnD2qvCX6U4Ffg&cbp=12,148.76134826618352,,0,-21.72743522093154).It has been shot from the building at the corner of 9th ave and 45th st, looking down 45th towards east:
Sadly, the Google vans do not yet get access to the roofs of buildings for a higher vantage point.

Lol, the Milton Plaza is straight ahead (yellow sign in middle of the original picture), and the Sheraton sign is on the left.And the building with the big W on top is the W Hotel New York. Many hotels in that pic. Google Earth has a nice feature where you can click on the building and it tells you what it is.
Was it shot from the NYT building?No, that's the tall one to the left of the Empire State building.
I think you're right! Nice detective work ;)
So basically its looking roughly in the direction of the times square area (which would be a couple of long blocks east from there, prolly right behind the buildings in the pic).
Was it shot from the NYT building? I know its right in that area somewhere. I think its taller though. (And I dont see the exterior lattice work on it).
Lol, the Milton Plaza is straight ahead (yellow sign in middle of the original picture), and the Sheraton sign is on the left. We should have read that originally, would have found the pic's location right away ;) Didnt even think to read the signs in the pic!
Note the search paramaters of my google maps link above :-)
Interestingly, that building (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=milford+plaza&sll=40.751784,-73.977862&sspn=0.002544,0.004828&ie=UTF8&t=h&layer=c&cbll=40.76,-73.990382&panoid=_4dlgADkP-BLEt49sCmGyQ&cbp=12,281.5919732559541,,0,-32.96352661453857&ll=40.759958,-73.990281&spn=0,359.997586&z=19) is itself (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_Center_Building) a kind of interesting (http://www.flickr.com/photos/33591478@N03/3218761007) place (interior (http://www.nyc-architecture.com/MID/MID131.htm)).
Oh yea, the milford plaza -- how could I forget (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwlvkUMsDgI)? :D
Hackintosh?
Well, that's actually why Windows is still my main OS...
(I hate my iBook. Although I'm using it right now, as my ThinkPad's waiting to be shipped back from getting some repairs.)
I'd post mine but it's as cluttered as my real desktop. Plus, the only interesting part is my wallpaper.
Carefully chosen to, ahem, ensure proper White Balance in my pics.Show Image(http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=2618&stc=1&d=1244773841)
I would be interested in building a Hackintosh (buying parts for maximum compatibility)...but as someone with only a passing interested in doing so, I find the information available very fragmented. I haven't been obsessed enough to actually find out what I'd need.
The sooner as Apple figures out they're better as a software company than selling slightly decommodified PCs at astronomical markups, the better.
I will buy a copy of OS X when they'll let me legitimately run it on my home-build Phenom II desktop.

Incidentally, lam47, what are you running at 3.8G? 955? 940? 920? 9950 with an entire industrial AC unit bolted to the heatsink?
It's the IBM Model M Mini production factory!!
Nah, George, I bet it's Checkpoint Charlie or somewhere else near the Berlin Wall.
Vital Desktop threw me for a moment.
Does anyone have a ViRtUal desktop program recommendation for Windows XP? On MacOS and Linux I typically run 4 desktops and switch between them. I've never seen a Windows virtual desktop program that worked smoothly for me.

I think my desktop is better.
My laptop - a Linux flavoured one... Using Arch Linux + OpenBox + Tint2 + Xcompmgron my other partition, that's me exactly, but without tint2 (tried it) and no showing icons... id be posting just a wallpaper. i wish there was such an interface for windows that is as customizable and well thought-out
If I take a picture of my big toe and use it as my desktop background, it is original art. But if I use this (http://www.wikiwak.com/image/VanGogh-starry+night+ballance1.jpg), it's a copy, and thus inferior?
Here's a new pic of my work PC with Windows 7 Professional.
I'm bumping this to say I've found a great practical joke. So my wife is NOT happy with me that the icons moved around after I installed Win7 and my son, well, he's a teenager so HE manages to piss me off sometimes.
So...
1. Take a snapshot of the desktop
2. Download a utility to save the desktop icon layout (not sure, maybe Win7 maybe has this finally!)
3. Delete all the desktop icons
4. Now use the snapshot of the original as WALLPAPER.
5. Watch the fun as they click away.
Yes, you will go to hell for this.
Not me. This guy. (http://www.andrewlipson.com/)
My desktop.
Very nice. Now let's see if we can guess what's right before Portal and after G something in sorting sequence that just happens to be blacked out in that screenshot...
