  1. Where did you get the middle bottom picture in the Longhorn Wallpapers folder? Everything looks pretty nice, although I'm not much of a dark theme person myself.
  2. Nice desktop. What is that sidebar/where can I get it? Also, how do you get your wallpaper to change every hour? Thanks.
  3. Build 5048 looks pretty ugly. Build 4078 looked pretty good IMO. The only thing about this build that I like is the transparent tops of some windows. Tryin' to look like Mac OS X eh? Maybe if the law of syllogism applies here. Longhorn = Trying to get a good GUI Good GUI = Mac OS X Therefore Longhorn almost equals Mac OS X
  4. Ehh?? How do you get that whole 2 taskbar thing to work ? @H2S-DARK: Nothing is showing up
  5. Unfortunately, I can't see too much in a difference in graphics except for the relfections on the helmets. I have 2001-2003 but I guess I stopped seeing too much of a difference between the releases. Still a really good series though
  6. roflmaozedong. Reminds me of Army's sig
  7. It's been a while but here's mine for now. 1280x1024 Used a lot of Konfabulator widgets, Rainlendar, Rainmeter, and Objectdock @dragonet': Nice speakers. Is that a subwoofer on top of that CD rack? @maverick777: Where did you get that Konfab clone skin for Rainlendar? Preview attached
  8. Yeah, but we're using 1,000 for simplicity of calculations.
  9. The reason it is hard to control and the reason why you skid easily is becasue that's what happens in real life. GT4 prides itself on being one of the most realistic driving simulations there are, and that's what it is. It's a driving simulation, and a driving game, but not necessarily a racing game. Although I'm a huge fan of GT4, the AI still sucks, and the computer's just don't act/react like real racers do in real life. I don't find it hard, actualyl one of my complaints about GT4 is that it's too easy. NFSU2 is awesome in that the racing aspect of visible customisation is available, and I think a greater sense of speed is given, especially with the motion blurs and various effects. I also appreciate the emphasis on gear shifts. However, that sense of speed is exagerated, as GT4 would more accurately relfect the performance and physics of the cars.
  10. I've used my SanDisk Cruzer mini with GT4 and it works fine. From what I've read, most USB keys should work, although there are a few exceptions.
  11. Desktop 1: 10gb + 40gb + 80gb Desktop 2: 40gb Laptop: 20gb Old Laptop: 2gb Random Laptop hd just sitting around: At least 20mb USB key: 256mb Flash: 256mb Sony memeory sticks: 128mb + 128mb + 64mb + 5mb
  12. I've raced (and won) all the 24 hour races. SiMoNsAyS finger must have slipped, cuz his math was basically right (it takes a minimum of around 8 hours to do a 24 hour race because you can speed it up 3 times). However, you can only speed it up if you're letting the CPU race. Even then, as soon as your CPU makes a pit stop, the speed goes back down to 1x, so you could sit there for 8 hours resetting the speed while watching a movie or you could just let it run for a little less than 24 hours (so yes, when you're racing 1x, the race time is realtime). Unfortunately, you can't save during a race (that wouldn't be too realistic), but you can save in between races in a race series. Having all 700+ cars in arcade mode is possible, but I haven't figured out how to actually use some of them (for example, when I try to pick my 1hp, 3 wheeled, 1886 patent motor wagen, it says that its a special car and cant be used in battle mode [it maxes out around 10mph]). There are a couple cars that can only be used in certain places (like 1 player practice) and are only for show. As for PS2s blowing up, I've left mine on playing GT4 for 169 hours straight and It still seems fine to me.
  13. Broken link (happens to me all the time with deviantart)
  14. I still can't get my S liscense. I hate the fact that off-road and on-road tests are both put into the general liscense tests; I can't drive offroad. I honestly can't say if the new generation GTs are something less than the older GTs, because I've never played GT1 and only a demo for GT2. However, GT3 and 4 are two of my favorite games. I don't really mind a loss of a sense of speed as long as it's realistic. GT4 is supposed to be a "driving simulator," and if one desires speed, one is probably better off with NFS or Burnout. Actually, in terms of a challenge, the "traditional" racing path (where you use your own car) was increadibly easy. I just transferred my 100,000 credits from GT3, bought a nice Skyline, and I've never had to buy a new "main" car; I just kept winning cars and the prizes piled up, and some of those prizes were pretty sweet.
  15. I have GT4 and I think it's great. The roads are pixelated, but if you're doing what you're supposed to be doing, the scenery should be flying past you and you wouldn't notice
  16. Actually, I think they should use the computer case to race down the street and use a car to hack into the CIA... haha
  17. From what I've read and seen, almost anything (even an Ipod) will work. A few people said their SanDisk Cruzer Mini didn't work, but mine works fine .
  18. This is awesome. My friend once showed me an adult movie in green ASCII. Really strange... I dunno where he got it from, though.
  19. And now USB keys are the media of choice to save photos from Gran Turismo 4 photo mode (plain jpegs). Pretty neat, I think.
  20. Folding at home? Sounds kind of familiar. This kind of reminds me of......... [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_ironing"]EXTREME IRONING!!!!![/url]
  21. Aluminum Alloy by ~kol I have been using this theme for many months now (I haven't found a theme that I like better recently) @pit: Yeah, I say "blah" way too much, I can't stop
