Not after the last 2 movies, no :D.

Seriosuly, the whole Matrix theme has been horribly overdone.

Mike

I guess that would be a personal preference.. ;)

Kinda like saying, the whole Grey Trans Am has been over done.... LOL!!

I tend not to comment too much on what is horrible or not on others preferences...I guess I could come in here and start telling others what I think they should or should not have on Their Desktops LOL!!...I do enjoy the humor of some Critique's though, it seems to adjust the focus of the mindset, as it were..

But I do hear ya Mike, for some the Matrix has run it's course I guess :)

Cheers Mike ;)

Lets keep this on topic.

Well....I kinda thought discussing desktops was the topic here...

I have also noticed while browsing here (For Quite Awhile Now), that there seems to be some childish notion that if the Desktop of choice of some certain member doesn't seem to fit the choice of another member, the terms Ugly,Dumb.....Etc,Etc,,, happen to be a common used phrase to describe how someone else feels about this persons Personal Preference... ??

Now correct me if I'm not seeing the logic of someone trying to say that because one members preferences don't parallel

their own preferences that it's Ugly,or Stupid Looking, or Dumb..?? LOL!!

I guess if that's the case here, I'd have to say there's alot to be desired in many of the desktops..

You'll have to excuse me, I'm not real big on Ignorance...Never have been..I guess I was just trying to understand the smaller minds, so I know what to look forward to....

I'll try to keep it on topic in the future.... Thanks Knight ;)

:blink:

no really... when something looks ugly, is just that, ugly. Nothing personal. There are no personal feelings about that.

Well....My feelings are very hard to hurt... LOL Trust Me!!

I just think that there's maybe a better way of saying something or maybe Not Saying Something, is quite often a good thang ;)

If you don't happen to agree with a personal preference of someone elses, maybe calling it Ugly isn't the best way of saying it.. LOL!!

This is just an example:...If that's you in the picture (Avatar)... I think that lil piece of scruff you've got camped under your lower lip looks like crap, maybe the cat had an accident on your face...??

Now that's just an example, which I do not mean at all..But I might have been a little less ignorant and said nothing to you, because it's really none of my business...Why??.... It's not my face ;)

There's always a non ignorant way there Trust ;)

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.
    • Turbo Pascal was my first real programming experience more than 30 years ago at university. I mostly taught myself from the included examples and help documentation, because the university only taught the basic syntax and philosophy of Pascal, without going deeply into Turbo Pascal’s advanced features. I still remember when I discovered that I could embed assembly language directly into Pascal code, call BIOS functions, manipulate screen memory, use mouse interrupts, and control peripherals from my programs. That opened huge doors for me. Programming back then felt really fun, direct, and close to the machine. What I loved about Pascal was its readability and the almost instant compile time. Turbo Pascal was an amazing environment, but unfortunately Turbo Pascal for Windows 3 did not feel like it fully carried that legacy forward. Later, Delphi got things back on the right track after the messy transition to TP for Windows. Sadly, Delphi suffered from years of uncertainty as it moved from Borland to CodeGear and then to Embarcadero. That instability made many developers lose confidence in it, even though Delphi itself remained a powerful and productive tool. I still work with Delphi from time to time, but I definitely miss the old days of Turbo Pascal.
    • I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
