My current background, because I think it is fucking cool. Does anyone here know these books, besides me?

This was my background for most of the Summer and early this term:

My desktop is a photo I took while waiting for my plane to take off.

I don't think so...and what is the problem precisely? Post a screencap...

Yes. I got Winamp3, and hated it... Too slow. I uninstalled it, then installed Winamp 2.8, and now I'm happy

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2002-12-05 10:24pm

Shit, I'm just looking to downgrade from 2.81 to 2.80.

Not much of a change....what's the big deal between the two?

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2002-12-05 11:17pm

I explain a bit earlier in this thread, since I don't want to try to explain it again.

Oh, OK.

BTW, I like that Qubeley picture!

Any solution to this?

PS: no one has guessed what's different about my desktop compared to most posted here so far.

Did you enable Winamp Agent?

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2002-12-06 12:08am

I can't find an Agent option anywhere.

Post by **Dalton** » 2002-12-06 12:52am

There is no agent option. You are presented with it during install; you can try taking it out of MSCONFIG, or turning it off by right-clicking on the systray icon.

phongn · Post by **phongn** » 2002-12-06 08:44am

Ahh, he probably disabled it when he upgraded. Run the install routine again and enable Winamp Agent this time!

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2002-12-06 12:47pm

Fixed it.

Phongn was right: I disabled Agent during the install because I forgot what it was.

Everything's fine now, thanks.

Why? Because it's a good OS? Or is there actually anything else than it's an MS product?

Actually its ridden with spyware, is W2k with bloat and bugs. For example there is a bug that when you click a specially constructed link, your computer gets nuked. Get Win2k instead.

Or get linux

Ya if you can FIND a fucking Win2K Disk! I'll have a billion tons of Hen's Teeth, a dozen Flowing Black Silk Sashes (EverQuest}, a dozen Manastones (EverQuest again), and *5* Holy Grails before I ever find a Win2K Disk! I've been camping my friend Joey's house for 4 MONTHS trying to get one. If you find one, hold onto it like Gold and get a CD Burner (don't forget the extra CDs)!

Well, then don't use IE and it's myriad security flaws. And get your machine regularly patched to boot (I've never had security problems or crash errors with XP). As for spyware, it's not riddled with it unless you consider WPA spyware.

Very nice. Where'd you get that pic?

Post by **AdmiralKanos** » 2002-12-07 03:40am

Starwars.com, in the Community section. Looks like Lucasfilm decided to make some high-res renders for the fans, because these are vastly more detailed and sharp than anything you see in the movie.

Post by **Sea Skimmer** » 2002-12-07 03:44am

They did. Though it was also just for publicity. A couple more of the transports, gunships and clones are out there as well. Plus there's a bunch of smaller images, which also don't show in the movie.
