I agree, lots of cool wallpapers there. Here are my two desktops, the first is my Win 2003 and the second is my SUSE Linux (remote desktop). My SUSE Linux's wallpaper i actually got from deviantart, very cool.

Damn, I still have my Windows background that you first get.

I should change it to something else. Maybe something like...

"Get off the computer you bum!"

MK, nice picture. It has good color contrast to it.

dumbadum, that’s a good big, clean picture.

motai, that’s a good one. Nicely composed, though a little boring.

Anttech, you have good taste. I love that abstract. Did you get it from fotocommunity?

deviant art, Its a technics 1210.. might mean something to you if you like DJing :-). I have two of those babies sitting next to me ;-)

Just promise me never to mix that horrible european techno music. (or any techno for that matter).
 
  • #48
Actually I mix amoung other things Detriot Techno, the birthplace of Techno :-)

BUT before u go NNNNOOOOO... Its a very soulful music.. If u ever have the chance listen to it, especially Derek May Transmat stuff.. Electronic with soul :-)

I'll pass on techno....LOL It went out of style about the mid 90's for a reason. I'll give you some leeway, lounge is OK... like for example, theivery corporation.
 
  • #50
theivery corporation... Ahh you have taste!

Yes I like them a lot.. You should check out Rythm and Sound if you like them.. And wait for it, they are techno :-) what's called minimal dub-techno, a cross between Jamican Dub and electro.. I love it..

You are right sort of techno didnt go out style, but the modern stuff is crap.. I love all the old school late 80's early 90's acid stuff :-) saying that tho there is still some good stuff coming out of detriot and F-communications...

(Im listening to laurent Garnier right now :-) )

Just curious. This is my new wall paper. I got tired of my old one. I just bought a new Maxtor external hard drive that holds 100 gigs. I have two computers in my house networked, so I took ALL the files from both computers and put it on the external drive and made that drive on the network as well. That means I just cut down the files on my computers by 4 gigs wee! Now they run a little better. Here's what’s in my wall paper on my one computer:

Nice bike, a little bit short for my lanky legs though. Nothing beats the sound of a pissed off growling harley. The knockoff, honda rebel, is a piece of junk. The handel bars hit my knees when I try to turn the thing, seriously. Its made for 4 foot tall japanese.

This is my friends bike, it rides nice. Real crotch rocket. He toped it out, probably 140~160 mph, not sure what the upper limit is. Hes asian, so the bikes is *almost* too short for me too, its been lowered. Only complaint is that its carburated and not fuel injection, so you have to let it warm up in the cold.

Why would it be to short, because there are no forward controls? It's a fullsize Harley, a Honda rebel doesn't even compare in size. My dad is pretty tall and has had simililar Harley's he just puts some highway pegs on them so he can stretch out when he wants to.
A sat on a crotch rocket the other day and I don't know how people can riden them, they seem so uncomfortable. Maybe they feel better once you actually start to ride them.
