I'm shocked there was never a thread like this on geekhack (not from my searching anyway)

Everyone knows you have awesome keyboards, but is your desktop up to par ;)

this is my gentoo, i uploaded this photo a little bit ago to show someone what pink paludis looks like (of course the answer is awesome!)

Save the Sea Kittens!

It's Ubuntu 8.something.  I actually just use a blue gradient most of the time.

Oh yeah, that's KNewsTicker (running on Gnome) running a feed from Fark up there.  It's a very cool app because you can turn any RSS feed (or any assortment of them) into a news ticker.

Please tell me that's sarcastic. :p (Yes, I know the PETA campaign is real. Do I get to eat land fish?)

The background was done in MS Paint (http://bencizdim.deviantart.com/art/Audi-Allroad-in-MS-Paint-86328177), FWIW.

Oh, another Sea-Kitten hater, eh?

Yes, it's a joke.  It's just so ... perfectly ... awful, on so many levels.  Makes me wish I still worked in an office so I could inflict it on someone besides my wife.

Actually, some excellent desktop backgrounds can be found at http://mandolux.com/ (http://mandolux.com/)

Yea, dual monitors. I love winxp. Special "Zune theme" -- orange start button and charcoal taskbar (with appropriate scenic background pic that matches). I like it.

[come to think of it, when I dye my keys with RIT, I'm going to dye them charcoal with an orange escape key, to match the above :) ]

My primary monitor, in work mode, showing the tools that I tend to use a lot:

1) The terminal, showing a screened Vim session.
2) Cornerstone Subversion client which I mainly use to get pretty diffs of different versions. I use the command line svn client to do most of my interactions with the repository.
3) Firebug. Can't live without this one.

Secondary monitor is pretty boring. I've got the Ext JS API docs open there, and a terminal window tailing the apache error log for the site I'm working on.

I love Blade Runner. I watch it a couple of times of year. I usually rent it and now that I use Netflix its easy to get it delivered. The rip is redundant but its nice to have a local copy.

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)

I didn't look at it like that, but I assure you, I do not have any shemale porn on my computer. Not that I have anything against shemale porn, its just not my thing. I will hide my stolen content in the future. Its not like I don't already own it, I just didn't have the final cut....

I didn't realize that when I posted. I cleaned it up. Feel bad for the guy with the shemale folder.. you could never live that down : )
Thankfully the folder pointing to my goatse collection wasn't on my desktop, now that would be embarrassing.

I cant tell you how many clients were "outed" in front of me while I was fixing their computers :D  Sometimes one has to assume the role of confessor if one gets into tech support in a big way.

Sadly, the Google vans do not yet get access to the roofs of buildings for a higher vantage point.
It has been shot from the building at the corner of 9th ave and  45th st, looking down 45th towards east:

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!

No, that's the tall one to the left of the Empire State building.

I actually really liked the last iBook that i had (last gen 12").  The main reason I made the jump to a Macbook (at the time) was that I really wanted to run multiple VM's (so, I needed an Intel-based Mac).  These days, I'm a sucker for the latest/greatest...so I cycle through Mac hardware rather quickly.  (although, I'm going to try to stick with my unibody macbook for a while...only thing that would make me jump right now is a 13.3" Mac laptop capable of >4GB of ram)

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.

Meh. Apple has not ever been a software company, and will never be a software company while the Apple Spirit(tm) remains alive at that company. Apple make software exclusively and explicitly to sell more hardware, and when the software (OS) sales started damaging the Apple hardware sales, Apple withdrew the 3rd party licenses.

To wit: Apple didn't make iTunes for Windows until iPod production exceeded Macintosh user iPod demand. Once that market was saturated, then they made a Windows iTunes, to sell more iPods.

You'll be waiting a long time if you're waiting for Apple to sell MacOS licenses to non-Apple hardware.

By the way, if you want a good OSx86 box on the cheap just pick up an Atom board by Intel. They cost around $80 but are 100% compatible without any hacks except for getting the video card to change to resolutions other than 1024x768. But you can always add a cheap PCI video card if you don't feel like figuring it out.


As for the desktop, I had to decrease the jpg quality so photobucket would allow the upload (full quality makes it >5MB).

I agree with this 100% have been saying it for years.
Its my 940 running at 3.8 (thanks BigwopHH)
Runs very stable and at the moment has a Scythe Mugen 2 on it.

Your second choice is close, where do you want me to send your mini? ha ha.  It is near Brandenburg gate where Kennedy made his speech.  I also have a shot of Checkpoint Charlie.  If you look close at the little shinny spot in the one window you can see a reflection from the snipers rifle.  I had a hard time getting the guards picture as they would duck behind the tower when I raised my camera.  So I just popped the top off my Nikon and let it hang by my waist and looked in the top of it, sure faked them out.

I didn't run into any issues running the Virtual Desktop PowerToy from MS.  Its definately no-frills.

At one point I tried Yod'm 3D as well.  It adds a bunch of visual effects.  It did the standard spinning cube virtual desktop in Win 2k, XP and Vista.  Older versions were free.  I don't think there is a current free version with virtual desktop in it.

Here's my desktop, nice and clean:

(http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=4793&stc=1&d=1253995304)

I hide all desktop items and don't keep anything in particular on my taskbar.  I use the vista startbar search to launch all my programs, keeps things much more organized looking and more space for awesome backgrounds like fractals and the like.  I also use global hotkeys as much as possible for hiding and showing, play/pause for winamp and stuff like that.  The gadget keeps track of cpu and ram usage as well as cpu temps, I keep it on top of all windows.  I hide everything in the notification area except for winamp.  

I like it clean as you can tell lol.

I've also found it to be faster to do it this way, things are more fluid for me.

I also use a program called dexpot for multiple desktops similar to linux.

too bad the current state of affairs with ati and composting though
free ati drivers = no 3d
proprietary ati drivers = compositing with awful performance with xcompmgr
compiz is too much crap for me and requires so much stuff

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?


I'd go for the toe picture. Honestly, that Van Gogh looks like it was painted by an eight-year-old.

Here's my Van Gogh's Big Toe desktop:

It's definitely snappier and takes less time to boot.  I don't really care if it's smaller or not.  It was certainly worth the upgrade from XP (and Vista at home).  I haven't had a single issue since installing it last week.  It's been fantastic.

Oldest trick in the book... XP used to have an option to hide icons... not sure if it is around in Vista/W7

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...

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.

I did that to myself by mistake on my phone after taking some screenshots. It is hilarious.

They're just people's names.  I'll display my name freely, but I won't of other people's.

Ahh, it's been a while, I just keep it clean and simple, easy to work with = good in my book (making things simpler or more complex for aesthetic purposes just slows me down, so why bother :P)

This has just been running debian testing for awhile (btw, quod libet is AWESOME, chrome too, and of course running zen is the only option :P)
