  1. If the applications dictate me to, I'll happily switch to Win7. I really need a new toy to play with, since I've pretty much tinkered with the "tweaks" for XP.
  2. IMO, the Earth will surely meet its doomsday, but not certainly 2012. Perhaps a few billion years more, when the Sun turns into a red giant. Dunno the chances of Earth in a collision course with a small celestial object.
  3. May he join with the rest of the greats who rocked the music world like Presley. May he and the rest of the gang rock the music world in heaven.
  4. Ahhh.... nostalgia... Back in the days in Philippines, computers have been a bit of luxury. Typewriters were selling like pancakes. When Windows 95 arrived, the number of computer owners boomed. Computer parts shops popped like grass. As time went on, more and more became computer literate. Internet cafe's sprung up. Dial-up was more expensive than a DSL today. For US$2, one can surf the net for an hour. Maybe for you guys, $2 is nothing. When converted to Philippine Pesos, that means a lot to us. Still, more and more started to use dial-up. As technology progressed, DSL lines were born under our feet. You can get a 256kbps ADSL connection for US$40. Thankfully, as time went by, the speed increased further. And so, I'm here in this forum, typing about the horrifying days of (our)technology being outrun by snails.... and is still going on today.
  5. Well, at least someone has got to burst that annoying Mac security bubble and wake them to reality.
  6. If you want that way, you have to edit the font settings of the MSSTYLES file of the Visual Style you prefer. I just use ResEdit for that.
  7. Disabling explorer.exe at startup would mean disabling the GUI of Windows at start.
  8. Just changed the wallpaper...
  9. Currently running: none Never had malware problems in the past with my old computer. I'm just savoring my moments with the new computer with only XP + router's firewall and Common Sense?.

    May Desktops

    Still looks the same, though it's a completely new system unit. Don't want to be included in the poll BTW.

    BitTorrent

    uTorrent is a BitTorrent client that uses the BitTorrent protocol to upload/download stuff.

    BitTorrent

    I do use BitTorrent for downloading HQ animes, for linux distros, and game installers (if they use torrent). BitTorrent protocol can be easily tracked, no wonder some ISPs can throttle the torrent bandwidth if they see their subscriber/s using the BitTorrent protocol. Your IP is shown in the peers you are downloading to, or uploading to. Like rridgely said, BitTorrent relies on the ratio of seeders vs peers.
  13. Congratulations dude! Care to introduce your wife and the kids (in the future) in the forums?

    Source code?

    Too much English in one sentence. Brain hurts... *BSOD*.
  15. @Icedrake Before Windows officially released the Win7 RC download link from their site, people have been relying on torrent sites to get the leaked RC. Perhaps malware authors try to lure people who were not informed of the official download link from Microsoft. Anyway though, I'll try it when I finally upgrade this aging computer. (AGP anyone?)
  16. I have XP Pro SP3 in desktop, XP Pro SP2 in Compaq Presario Laptop, and Vista SP1 in Dell Inspiron Laptop.
  17. Realplayer Basic and Quicktime can be replaced with K-Lite Mega Codec Pack+QTLite. Also, update your JRE.
  18. Minefield is the codename for Firefox 3.6, previously Firefox 3.2.

    hello all

    Hell0 vitamin0s! Welcome to the forum. BTW, your name reminds me of cereals, and I'm getting hungry.
  20. Install it if you need it. If not, just leave it.
  21. It would be better if you have ACTUALLY tested it before giving judgment, else you'll just be bashed by most people who had USED it.
  22. Well, I'm a bit surprised that only a few recognizes it. Perhaps it would be better that way. PS Are the winds in the beach of your countries cold? I can't imagine going out of the water only to be blasted by the wind.
  23. Going black this time. Then again I don't want to be included in the April Desktops Poll.
  24. For the theme though, it's SevenVG RC Theme by Vishal-Gupta with a few edits of my own. Well about the two's, it's all about VirtualBox. I was messin' around with seamless mode out of boredom. About the memory, it's a different side of the story.
  25. Messin' around again... *Please don't include me in the March Desktops Poll. I just don't feel being part of the competition.
