    nevermind, i'm dumb, that's a linux thing.

    It's a fucking awesome linux thing. Of course, like most early alpha software for Linux, if you don't have it set up right it will fail spectacularly (early versions a year or two ago combined with old ATI proprietary drivers caused my laptop to crash roughly once per hour, for example, but it's much more stable now.)

    Benjamin Franklin used foil covered window glass to create a capacitor. He then attempted to kill a turkey with the stored charge. Instead, he knocked himself out. Franklin later wrote, "I tried to kill a turkey but nearly succeeded in killing a goose."

    Here's mine.

    Actually, this is my REAL desktop (spoiled for possible NSFWness):

    Both images have lost color detail cause I had to stick'em in PNG-8. PNG-24 bumped them over the 1 MB mark.

    Hi,

    I recently bought a 20" widescreen monitor (samsung 206BW). It's max resolution is 1680x1050. It looks really crisp and sharp, but stuff is pretty damn tiny. Using Office software, and surfing the net with Firefox is difficult. Is there a way to get my work and surfing to appear at a decent size while maintaining the max resolution the monitor is capable of?

    Games and stuff look great in the max resolution, by the way.

    I'm pretty sure you can change the text size in Firefox under View, Increase Text Size (Just keep doing it until it's big enough (that's what she said)).

    Sorry, I should have sad that. I did try that but not all text on a site will adjust. So parts of the site look fine and others look tiny.

    I also went through the XP desktop customization options, they made the desktop a bit more manageable. I may have to sit and mess with it again.

    JPEG at high quality levels would probably be smaller than and look better than PNG-8. Nice desktops though.
