WB: OS X Tiger

Rainmeter: HUD.Vision

Desktop Icons: iVista Reflective Icons for IconPackager

Can't remember the details about the RocketDock icons, but they're cool!

Wall: Twisted Stripe 4 from DA by welshdragon, modded with a mini-collage of my beautiful geek girlfriend, Jennifer, using Desktop TakeOver.

he has more icons than the default 2 so it's just a matter of trying to get it right...a lot of times.

I didn't understand your post... I was asking how he shortened the distance between the last quicklaunch icon and the first app, without having the 2 white arrows that windows places...

Right click taskbar then click unlock, left click on the ribbed dots next to quick launch, drag to desired point, then right click taskbar and hit lock taskbar.

Yeah, thanks for replying... i know that, but my question is another... look at this image:

Explanations about the numbers:

Number 1 - The image I want to apply in my SO

Number 2 - My SO, aligned to show that in my SO the distance is larger than his

Number 3 - My SO, after unlocking the taskbar

Number 4 - My SO, after moving only 1 pixel to the left

The 2 head of arrows appears, and I can't reproduce the small size in #1

Please let me know I you guys didn't understand my explanations... english isn't my native language :(

Windows xp obviously

The wallpaper is on DA, called colorpicker or something like that

The media player is just windows media player with a theme that I messed round with till I got what I wanted.

The browser is the shiny new Web2.0 browser from google: Google Chrome - The first browser sporting a full-featured porno surfin' mode! So far it's pretty good. Hopefully they come up with add-ons like firefox has.

The clock and stuff is just google desktop, coz well, I liked the desktop search thingy, and I haven't noticed any performance drops yet.

credit goes to Long Zheng (istartedsomething) who created and shared on his site his hilarious 'I'm a Mac, and we're the PCs' picture. I simply enhanced it and made it 1920x1200 friendly.

PS I own a PowerBook as well, but thought the message was quite cute (and it doesnt demean Macintosh in anyway.)

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Danielx64 · Posted

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
