and just what exactly is wrong with Tellytubbies? we used to go and sit in the server room for 1/2hr and turn the phones off when Tellytubbies was on. We used to have wagers on which Tellytubbies stomach would tune into the telly signal.

eeew nothing just my three year old grand babys fav,i thought by now you would have out grown them,but when i can wrestle some of them away from the grand kids i now know who i can send them to,along with some sponge bob square pants,that should put you one up on the boys at the office,ahh.... you wouldn't want the stuffed telly tubbys to would you :o

I was wondering about the personalities of our great community characters.

Show me a picture of your desktop here in the forums.
You can send me pictures of your girlfriend by email :o
Form your own opinion of someone just by seeing what they don't mind looking at all the time, although if you're like me you change the background quite often.

Oh and if you have no clue as to how to get a screenshot of your desktop, use the Prt Scr key on your keyboard.
The Prt Scr or SysRq key is a throwback from the old dos days. It use to send the print screen command to the printer, these days it sends it to the clipboard.

There really is a use for that Prt Scrn key in the upper right corner of your keyboard.
You know, the key you push and nothing seems to happen. Well something is happening. Each time you press that key, it captures the screen that is on your desktop and puts it on your clipboard. You can then edit and minipulate that image to suit your needs. This is a great technique to use when trying to get a photo or graphic from a website.

Working With Captured Screenshots
Now that you have pressed the notorious Prt Scrn key, open the free Paint program located in the Accessories section of your Start menu. Go to Edit and select Paste. You will notice that the screenshot you took is now pasted into the Paint application. You can now crop out the area you want by selecting the dashed-box tool in the menu. Highlight the area you want, then go to Edit and Cut. You can now go to the menu and select New. It will ask if you want to save the original. Just say no and a blank workspace will appear again. Go back to Edit and Paste again. Now, only the cropped area appears. You can save this as a jpeg file, or whatever format you need.

My favorite way to capture screenshots is to use the free program IrfanView http://www.irfanview.net/
It has a built in Capture/Screenshot under the Options in the menu bar - or minimize the program and press C.
Or you can do it this way.
Press the Prt Scr key and then start IrfanView.
Press the Ctlr key and the v key at the same time, that will paste (put or insert) what's on your screen and just like magic it will appear. Now click on image in the menu bar and you can adjust it any way you want, resize, sharpen, flip, rotate, and a bunch of other things.
Then save it and put it on an image hosting site like
Image Shackhttp://imageshack.us/
Photobucket http://photobucket.com/
imagehosting.com http://www.imagehosting.com/
And then put it here so we can see it.

* Or you can have Lancers Reactor host your picture, this is the finalday method.
This works when you're posting a new topic or adding a reply to a post.
Right under where it says, Upload attachment, click on browse, that will bring up a small file upload screen, find your picture file on your computer and click on it, now click on open in the file upload screen, that will upload your picture to the Lancers Reactor server, now go back to your post and click on, add the file.
Don't click on Place inline - that will attach your picture or file to your post.
Now your picture will show up in your post, it will be on Lancers Reactor server.

We could swap some cool backgrounds this way...

Here's my current desktop. As you can see I like to have a weather report handy and monitor processor and memory usage, I don't think much of Icons though.

Where did you get that ("current") wallpaper image.... please???

It is really COOOLLL!!!

They got me in a holding pattern at San Francisco International. I'm a Microsoft Flight Simulator fan as well as a Freelancer. I might as well park my Eagle on the Golden Gate Bridge!

FSX? Someone should convert the FL ship models to it :mrgreen:

You know, they have kits that will enable you to build or transform other craft from other games into FSX or its venerable predecessor, FS9 (FS2004). I just might make an investment in that for such a purpose.

I can see it now, an Anubis with skid-wheel tricycle gear. It's possible. Oh, BTW. The center pod is interchangeable on the Eagle. Big shoutout to Eugene Heyart for creating an awesome replication of that sci-fi classic ship.

A current one for me.

Ooooooohh!

Well, here's mine

IRC is so lonely now..

Had to scale attached image down due to stupid image dimension restrictions

after seeing all these desktops mine is outdated,had a decent looking @ 1 time but it got wiped out when i got laptop fixed and back up files b4 fixing it,least nothing i would care to keep such as pics of ex wife,too bad she wasnt on hard drive,it would have been much cheaper than divorce :lol:

Here's my desktop, nothin' special, don't ask why I don't have a background, cause I'm not telling (let's just say I have a problem with my comp):

- Shadow Viper

AzzA is using Linux, thats why

regards

Nice screen (even though the OS is Vista).

thanks the picture's my artwork(done with photoshop) I use that comp for photoshop, Internet and almost everything else because photoshop uses lots of ram
the other computer I have does not have internet acess but it is exclusivly for freelancer and it is an XP(the other computer can't even read the disc for freelancer(too many scratches))

L.A. at night... ahhhh memories

marvel at the subtlety of my filing system.....

@trentsfish..where did you get that pic..reminds me of home

You can find pics like that on Google . But, he could've took it himself.

true,if he did take it himself,he would have to be in the hollywood hills area to get a shot like that
