I don't know if there is already a thread about this, but I thought it would be neat to see what everyone's desktop looks like. I was going to limit this topic to NEC console related images, but it would be cool to keep it open. ^^
Here's mine at the moment. I'm using the Space Fantasy Zone wallpaper from Sunteam_Paul's PCE Bible. 8)

Hmm. Maybe it's time to clean the ol' desktop? What do you think.....

haha. Yeah, oddly enough my work computer was a mess of files like that. I just can't have my home computer in a state like that. hehe
I'm having trouble resizing my images in photoshop. I don't know what the issue is. I resize them, publish them to photobucket, and it comes out the same size every time here. :-k
Nice photo btw though. :mrgreen: I used to have Aaron's SGX photo up on my desktop.
Edit: I always forget to change to 72 resolution. That took care of the problem. #-o

That photo rotates randomly with the SuperGrafx and the TurboExpress every time I reboot my computer.

Very nice. 8)

I see those torrents you're trying to obscure! [-X

Let's see if I can guess all of your apps, from left to right in the Dock:
Yeah, I really don't care for the look of 10.5. I actually prefer 10.2. Luckily since my Radeon 9800 powered Mac Mini doesn't support Quartz Extreme I don't have to deal with the cheesy transparent menus. I think they later came up with an check box for that, but at first it wasn't possible to turn off.
Corrected list:
-Finder
-Firefox (this not running because I prefer Safari. The opposite is true under Windows. I'm a picky mofo)
-Safari
-Mail
-iTunes
-Pages (Apple's word processor)
-Photoshop
-Audio Hijack
-Skype
-iWeb
-iPhoto
-GarbageBand
-Reason
-Recycle
-Stickies
-iCal
-Handbrake
-MAME
-TGEmu (works fine with HuCards)
-Transmit
-Toast
-MacJanitor
-System Preferences
-Tomato Torrent
-Quicktime (why this is in my dock is beyond me, I've since deleted it.)
-TwitterPod
-VLC
-Time Machine
-iChat
-iPSP (a PSP tool thing, not an emu)
-Grab (was messing with options)

I'm still living in the ancient past with OS 10.4. Before that I was using 10.2.8. When I finally got 10.4, they released 10.5 like the next month. I think I'll hold out to 10.6.

I'm pretty sure 10.6 will be Intel only.

That's fine, I have a 2Ghz Core 2 Duo.

Just as long as they give us the option for a normal Dock and non-transparent windows, etc. I really don't need the graphic candy that Apple builds their OS around. Option are always a good thing! That way everyone can be pleased.
Nat, my Mac is better than yours. I think that means you probably owe a free cheeseburger or something.

I got sucked into the graphic candy. I love transparent windows and all those goodies. However, if it came down to me running the original XP skin or the classic look, I'd go with the classic. XP looks like teh shit - Windows for kids.
-
You can make XP look like Windows 2000. That's what I did because I am teh 1337.

Where's your toolbar? You keep it hidden?
I have a deep love for dense, futuristic cityscapes. Maybe it comes from growing up in south Louisiana with all the petrochemical plants that looks like tiny metropolises at night. It's funny you mention Blade Runner, though. I've often hoped, since first seeing it back in the early 90s, that I live long enough to experience a future like that. I know it's dystopian, but it's just so visually appealing! Not to mention the pervasiveness of technology of all sorts. I can just imagine walking into a tiny retro electronics shop - with hanging, naked lightbulbs and chiptunes playing over the speakers - in some dark, rainy alley in a future megalopolis in 2050 and finding and old TurboDuo there.
I dunno, though... to me this picture looks friendly and inviting. Maybe it looks different because I shrunk it. I can provide the original full-size if anyone is interested.
Yeah, I always "Auto-hide the toolbar." I kinda assumed most people did that (who wants an ugly bar at the bottom that reduces your viewing space?) until I learned from real-world experience that I was in the minority. :shock:

I decided to give my pc a mac look. :mrgreen:

Time to resurrect this thread!
My current desktop, created on Friday night whilst driving up to Boston:
(http://junk.tg-16.com/images/esteban_desktop_2.jpg)
Note to Roy, Zeta and Sunteam_Paul: THANK YOU!
Roy, you inspired this work of--ahem--art.
Zeta, I'm totally loving the Naid remixes! Absolutely wonderful. I can't get sick of them.
Paul, I was listening to Wibble #8 on the way up to Boston.
My old desktop, circa an old screenshot dated 09.04.08:

Nice esteban, I guess that means it got there safely. It appears you haven't open it yet. Break the seal! :D
I am actually going to break the seal at a party with my brothers. We have never played/seen any of the "Make your own music video" products in real life, so this will be quite the treat.
What's sad is that, back in the day, when these titles were advertised for Sega-CD on television, I thought they revealed how incredibly amazing the Sega-CD platform was going to be. I still loved my Turbo, but I thought the Turbo was *clearly* underpowered compared to Sega's beast.
Anyway, we're having a Kris Kross party.

Tatsujin: I love the moderno minimalismo aesthetic of your desktop. :) One question: what do you do when you forget to wear your sunglasses whilst computing?
Woody: I had a poster like that when I was a kid. I thought it was the koolest thing. 1984 reborn as desktop--makes me want to find some old DIO felt posters that I used to have and make them into desktop designs. No joke :)

10 points awarded to sunteam_paul for identifying the Necromancer 2 (mobile) Wallpaper (http://www.hudson.co.jp/mobile/ykeitai/iapp/genre/rp_necro2.html), descendant of PCE's own Necromancer (HuCard) (http://magweasel.com/2009/05/23/i-love-the-pc-engine-jaseiken-necromance/).

As for Alien Crush... nope. :)
Hint: Look at my original hint. Update: No, it's not Splatterhouse. See? I am checking to see if sunteam will notice this comment. :)
-
Splatterhouse.

Thanks guys. The hucard icons are used with TGemu, the crappy mac PC Engine emulator. Most game run ok, some don't have sound, and some don't run at all. I think Richard Bannister quit working on it a few years ago.
-
90 points for figuring out the next wallpaper I've made for you guys. YES, it is PCE-related.
I see some files labeled 'Jason Bateman', therefor you're next wallpaper will be Super Mario Bros. related.

Makes me laugh every time I read it. I can just hear him say it. :lol:

Joe, there a bunch of wonderful shots that I would love to use on my desktop.
The Genesis (first one) is fantastic.
As is the TG-CD close-up (volume control). Brilliant.
For some reason, I really like the Dreamcast (with the ports)--I think the lighting is one of the things I really love in that shot.
I'll stop there, but you have some really nice shots. You gotta share!

Sounds good. Yeah, I have absolutely no complaints with Windows 7. It looks great, but it runs really smooth and has some nifty little features. There are also a lot of adjustments you can make to the skins/icons/mouse pointer that really give your desktop that personal touch. You'll like it. :)
Nice Linux skin, Woody! 8) The clay-like icons are very neat.

Nothing crazy. Just Ubuntu 11.10 with Gnome Shell installed. I just changed the wallpaper and icon pack. Oh, and the little cpu/memory monitor in the bottom left is an extension from http://extensions.gnome.org (http://extensions.gnome.org/)

That Gnome shell shit is pretty great. I should setup my Linux computer again. I Put it behind the tron cabinet (laptop), since I wasnt using it really.

There's no other window manager out there that handles multiple workspaces as well, IMO. I always have a ton of windows open at work, so it's invaluable.
To the curious I'd recommend:
http://ubuntu-gs-remix.sourceforge.net/p/home/
It's basically Ubuntu with the Gnome Shell and more of the stock Gnome apps pre-installed. As well as the awesome Ubuntu Software Center, UbuntuOne, etc.

I had the books one for yeeeears. Also I never actually got ida pro to work. I was trying to disassemble the street fighter 2 arcade roms with ida pro to make a romhack but I never got the program to work right. I managed to hack the crud out of the game using just pure hex editing instead. I have a lot of icons of unused software I need to clean up when I feel like it.

Oh, I was talking about my desktop, that there is "nothing going on here" but I remarked that I noticed Drakon had installed "IDA Pro Free", which is literally the greatest x86 disassembly software I have ever encountered and the reason I succeeded in all of my PC patches for Falcom Ys games, etc. That software was a game-changer (once you learn how to use it, that is, but even then to fully master it would take a lifetime), just like Neill Corlett essentially told me it would be when he recommended it while I was hacking Ys I Complete way back in '01... Heh, still remember stuff from my glory days of wasted youth! ;)

Why am I still not seeing either Nazi symbols or white power iconography in Xray's photo? I see an Iron Cross, which is an icon from 13th century Prussia, and some odd flag with a symbol I don't recognize but certainly has nothing to do with Nazis or white power. So... am I missing something here? White power is usually represented by a raised fist or a circled equilateral cross, and Nazis are usually represented by a rotated swastika... neither of which are in that picture. I just don't like the jet... more boobs can fit in its space. :lol:
-
i think the gripe was the insignia on the jet, as its a German jet

OH, ok... now I see it... you really have to look for it though, which means that someone was really scrutinizing... you can barely see it unless you're actually looking intently for something to throw at someone.
However, that flag isn't a Nazi symbol. That lightning bolt icon has been used more times than the Iron Cross has.
As for the SA sign... someone needs to actually read the auction description:
"This is NOT an original Nazi/Third Reich era artifact, nor is it made to promote/endorse any ideology. Will not ship to Europe, or anywhere else that bans Nazi/Hitler related items."
The evidence points not to a Nazi sympathizer but to a right-wing conservative with the typical interest in war history. At worst, you could say that he's a racist... or maybe he just hates Obama like all other right-wingers.
-
I can't speak for others, but i will try to clarify what i think is the issue. The jet, a me-262 is popular amongst vintage aircraft enthusiasts. by itself it means nothing, including the symbol on the wings. Reproduction me-262's are made till this day for all to fly, and are usually made with historically accurate insignia. the iron cross is still used today by the german military and by itself is not a symbolism of nazi germany. The flag is the problem. It was pointed out to me that it is the mark of a neonazi group. I did some research, and while you wont' find that exact flag, you will find many very similair, using a combination of the same symbols. The lightning bolt in the center is most likely in reference to the nazi ss. The black swirl behind it is a variation of a reverse swatzika. The overall color scheme and shape are common themes in such flags. Neonazi's will also generally grab onto other symbols otherwise benign as part of the propoganda. If you add that to the fact that xray has been linked with racist forums in another thread, and it paints the picture. He has stated himself that he will make anything you want, including the nazi ss signs he has already made, just to make a dollar.
He may or may not be racist, but by his own admission he has no problem making racist material for money. That in itself appears to have alot to do with what is turning people away. My strongest beef with xray is his treatment of bernie, and the comments he made to the professor about his kids. Regardless of how xray feels about the professor or anyone else for that matter, there are things you just don't say.
-
I'm not thrilled about how he talked to Bernie either. Bernie's one of the friendliest, most respected people around these parts. He's also one of the only people on this forum you'd never wanna meet in a dark alley.
-

Out of limitless possibilities for historical icons and military vehicles, why does everything on his desktop fall into line with typical neo-nazi ideology? As for the ebay sale, you might have a point if that SA sign was buried in hundreds of other listings and unrelated designs, but he's not selling any other historical symbols, just that SA sign. And of course he's going to have some BS disclaimer so his listing isn't removed.
Like I said before, only an idiot would reproduce and distribute the symbols of mass murders. Even if Xray doesn't buy into the ideology (highly doubtful), he has to realize that there are legions of white power groups that do and they feed on these products. He also has to realize that thinking people hate this shit. Offensive material shouldn't be censored, but that doesn't mean we should tolerate it or imagine that Xray is a reasonable person. Holocaust deniers continue to spread their lies every day as Americans are brainwashed that their are "two sides" to every issue.
Yes, war buffs are going to have an interest in war history and they're going to collect stuff, but they're going to keep their Nazi paraphernalia under wraps, not wave it around to the exclusion of everything else. They're going to pick a different cool-looking jet to put on their desktop. I happen to have a few old coins with swastikas from one of my Grandpa's because he flew a B-17 over Germany, but I keep them in a box with all of my other weird coins, I don't put them on my frickin' desktop, sell facsimiles on ebay, or bring them up in casual conversion.
-
Not everything there falls in line with neonazi ideology, and it may just be that that's the only one he has for sale right now. Could simply be an inconvenient coincidence.
I'm not defending the guy, I'm just not willing to jump on the drama bandwagon. Circumstantial evidence doesn't tend to hold up in the court of law, only in the "court of popular opinion". This chain reaction to one fruitcake is typical forum war crap that belongs at places like neo-geo.com, not here.
And of course there are two sides to every issue. That's not brainwashing, it's f*cking reality. Remember, history is written by the victor... what does the other side have to say? And holocaust deniers are just f*cking stupid, but then again, so are Creationists, Scientologists, the majority of Republicans, most libertarians, and all bleeding heart liberals and Tea Party supporters.

Sure, maybe the guy with the SA flag and the nazi jet and the iron cross and the SS lightening bolt and the lone SA sign listed on ebay and the unusually vehement hatred of feminine black celebrities and the homophobic slurs misrepresented himself. It's not like we're going to sentence the guy. I'm willing to entertain the 0.00001% chance that I'm wrong, but so far he's done nothing to dispel any judgements. All he's said is something like "I make other signs too," and "actually, I've haven't really studied the Nazi platform. I know they murdered 6,000,000 people for economic gain and corporate profit, but...I don't know, maybe they had some good ideas. I need to do more research."

I think we're saying the same thing here. The media puts extremist, stupid, minority groups like the ones you cite on equal footing with legitimate reasoning because of their dogmatic obedience to always present "two sides":
* "Here's an author who wrote a new book about the holocaust, now let's give equal time to this denier we found in a shack in Michigan."
* "Some called them robber barons; others called them industrial statesmen - you decide!"
* "98% of scientists believe in climate change, now let's hear from the 2% who don't."
etc.
Not that these viewpoints shouldn't be allowed to speak, but journalists should have no obligation to present lies as credible arguments.

Rover, he states that in his auction details to bypass the fact that selling Nazi relates items on ebay is prohibited no matter what country you are selling them in. He is trying to use a loophole to keep the auction from being kicked. The Red SS flag/banner on his desktop is a Neo Nazi related item (Neo Nazis idolize the SS and SA both). All those little Neo Nazi splinter groups make their own banners and crap, so you wont find that flag in any historical compilation. We have a couple of splinter groups here in Arkansas in a couple of small hick cities that use this kind of crap to display their "white power pride", slapping it on the back of their truck windows and shit.
To be honest this is not the kind of stuff you can even begin to rationalize or make excuses for, even by playing devils advocate. There is far better shit to idolize then the things he chose, for obvious reasons. The items he has chosen represent something specifically, racial hate, and admiration aimed towards a dark point in Germany's history, specifically the Nazi regime. They don't represent or mean anything else at all. There is no way around it. To try to state otherwise is a insult to every person that died at the hands of Nazi controlled Germany, and every person that fought against the SS and the SA.

Hrm... good points. And that explains why I can't find that symbol amongst the established symbols of the Nazi party. You really do expect that kind of bullshit from the South though... and I know, it's where I'm originally from.

No excuses, rationales, or advocacies for fictional demons here... just trying to look at this all from a logical point of view based on the evidence rather than appealing to emotion. But if we're gonna go the route of being insulting to the people who died at the hands of the Nazis, then it would also be fine to say that modern-day Christians are an insult to those people who died in the Crusades... there's tons of such historical parallels you can draw there. To even begin to accept the majority of ideals involving Nazi Germany is just plain stupid in the modern age, but there are all kinds of similar ideologies that are rooted in bloodshed, intolerance, xenocide, etc. that are all alive and well today but are championed by millions. To single out one and ignore the rest is intellectually dishonest. Again, I'm in no way defending Xray, but this has gotten out of hand for the wrong reasons. If you're going to hate the guy, do it because of how he acts, not because of what he believes in.

I don't hate the guy, even though he is a dick face. He hasn't actually done anything to invoke "hatred", maybe scorn would be a better description. Disapprove of however, yes, I clearly disapprove of the guy, for obvious reasons, and what he believes in is a valid enough reason to do so. The fact that he doesn't even have the guts to own up to it in public when he gets called out on it, even more so.
And in general, I myself don't knowingly do any kind of business with that type of person, but its about freedom of choice, people can deal with whomever they want. Just considering everything about the guy, buyer beware. If dealing with the guy I'd be more inclined to only have any packages coming from him go to a po box instead of my personal address due to his volatile nature.
Also, the skin head Neo Nazi thing, its actually more prominent in the north east and also the west coast then it is in the south. Here its one of those things where you'd only see these guys once in a blue moon unless you go out of your way to notice them, because that crap is pretty discouraged around here. They don't go around doing white power marches or shouting racial slurs or anything. They just keep it on the down low because they are the extreme minority.
Rover, I'd also like to point out, I am not a religious person, but I don't find religion in general as offensive, unless it is used as a tool to do so, as in the case with cults or groups like the Westboro Baptist Church, who go out of their way to spread hate. I can easily admit both positive and negative things have come from religion, however I cant even begin to fathom what positive things can be taken from the beliefs of the Nazi SS and SA and their racial purity doctrine. There is nothing positive to idolize or identify with in Hitler or his hate propaganda machine, and you are going to be hard pressed to find a single Neo Nazi that doesn't feel there is some armageddon race war coming, who would have no problems with a modern day "cleansing" as it were.
Until then, both them and even the Klan have no problems biding their time, making due with what they feel they have currently. Most all of their beliefs revolve around racial purity and hate of other races. Don't be fooled into thinking otherwise. The few "on the fence" types in their groups may try to spin it some other way so they don't look so bad, but they are the select few who would have no real influence in their groups, both Neo-Nazi wise and in the Klan, and who usually eventually go full gear in it themselves, or who drop out when they realize their heart is not in it.

agreed 100%
his treatment of some here has been over the line, but fault him for his actions not his beliefs.
i have friends of different races, religions, beliefs.
some were raised on racial hatred, some weren't.
but my Muslim friend married a Hindu, and has no issues with Jews.
i know a doctor from the south, KKK knighted who is friends with his black neighbors.
my point is his beliefs will be based on his upbringing, but to prejudge him on that in itself prejudiced.

Also, the Nazi regime really is a unique case where everyone should be on the same page. Unlike the Turks and the Israelis and the U.S. and the Church and other perpetrators of genocide who continue to coverup their crimes and manufacture propaganda, the Germans came clean on their f*ck up. The leaders were tried and executed, the citizens swallowed their lumps, and everyone managed to acknowledge and learn something from the tragedy (other than the hundred or so corporations who profited and got off Scott free). We're also very fortunate that the Nazi's meticulously documented all of their crimes and the numbers they killed, although they did it for the self-aggrandizing reasons at the time. So, unlike other genocides surrounded by the murk of time or propaganda, Nazi sympathizers should f*cking know better.

I'm not saying you in particular, just "you" in the general sense.

They should... but they don't. And neither do all the others... such as the Church.
Following any ideology blindly is always a bad thing. Whether or not Xray does this is beyond me, though it seems like he might. Still, pages upon pages are being dedicated to this, and that's rather sad. I think we should all just get back to playing teh turbob. :D

It doesn't work like that, and you are going to find that many who no longer wish to do business with Xray would feel you are opting to remove evidence in favor of Xray. I do think however enough has been said in normal threads. The rest could be moved to FS. Honestly I was surprised to see the topic being brought back up in this thread considering all the others that exist covering it.

can we move the rants to a fighting street thread and restore some respect to this thread

Well, I think it goes without saying that I am unlikely to do any further business with the guy. I bought one of the signs before all this went down, but I have no regrets... I like it, it's pretty cool. However, I don't do business with people who espouse any kind of hate concepts, which is why I also don't do business with people involved in the KKK or have ties to extremist groups like PETA.

F#ck extremists.

OH, ok... now I see it... you really have to look for it though, which means that someone was really scrutinizing... you can barely see it unless you're actually looking intently for something to throw at someone.
However Professor managed to identify the swastikas, he did and it led to other discoveries about the guy. There were plenty of reasons to look for throwing something at the guy after he dropped pedophilia charges against people here.
However, that flag isn't a Nazi symbol. That lightning bolt icon has been used more times than the Iron Cross has.
That's the weakest of the evidence because I couldn't match it to anything, I'll admit, but much more damning evidence exists now. The center part seems to be a bolt like the SS insignia uses, but I'm not sure.
As for the SA sign... someone needs to actually read the auction description:
"This is NOT an original Nazi/Third Reich era artifact, nor is it made to promote/endorse any ideology. Will not ship to Europe, or anywhere else that bans Nazi/Hitler related items."
I certainly did read it and interpreted it as nothing more than a way to insult one's intelligence given what it actually is.
The evidence points not to a Nazi sympathizer but to a right-wing conservative with the typical interest in war history. At worst, you could say that he's a racist... or maybe he just hates Obama like all other right-wingers.
More evidence was later discovered on the site chimpout.com, a site dedicated to portraying blacks as subhuman monsters and his photobucket account was matched up to an account there that referred to blacks as "grease-loving chimps..." Along with the chimp racism animated GIF of Michelle Obama also found on the same site, I think the evidence is in that this guy is a racist, hate-mongering lunatic with some kind of affection for Nazi-era symbolism to go to the trouble, to go as far as making lighted signs and selling them on eBay... I don't shoot from the hip and make wild-eyed accusations unless they can be backed up well enough and I think that's the case here.
And holocaust deniers are just f*cking stupid, but then again, so are Creationists, Scientologists, the majority of Republicans, most libertarians, and all bleeding heart liberals and Tea Party supporters.
Eh, funny, exactly what I think about the majority of democrats and Occupy Wall Street criminals.

If you're on a Windows machine, you can hit the Print Screen button to copy your desktop to the clipboard. Then you need to open up an image manipulation program, such as Paint, and paste the clipboard into a new file. With Paint all you do is hit Ctrl-V once you've started the application. Then just save it as a .jpg or .png and you're good to go.
I don't know how it's done on a Mac. :)

Yeah, it probably does belong to some sort of splinter group.
I certainly did read it and interpreted it as nothing more than a way to insult one's intelligence given what it actually is.
I interpreted it as it was written without attaching any kind of personal prejudice to it.

It's not my desktop, but here's a screenhot of my Screen Saver:

The screensaver plays 6 random NES games (via info recorded from some emulator). Every time it starts up, there are different games being played. It's pretty sweet. I really wish there was a TG16 version of this screen saver. I'd play games via emulator just to add gameplay data to it. :)
Sorry for the huge dimensions. I forgot to resize it before uploading. :P

someone needs to make one for the turbo and quick. thats really slick.
-
I interpreted it as it was written without attaching any kind of personal prejudice to it.
Then you're implying I or others interpreted it with personal prejudice and not intellectual honesty? Let's look at it then:
"This is NOT an original Nazi/Third Reich era artifact, nor is it made to promote/endorse any ideology. Will not ship to Europe, or anywhere else that bans Nazi/Hitler related items."
The first part is irrelevant, it's a new sign that he builds in his garage, so yeah, duh, it's not an artifact... But, the 2nd part, to claim that it doesn't promote/endorse any ideology is intellectually dishonest. It objectively endorses the symbolism of the Nazi SA, not even the later SS, but the SA which were the thugs that helped bring Hitler to power and who he later had to turn on and purge using the SS... These types of BS disclaimers are pretty typical and understandable, but BS is BS.
I could be an atheist that sells beautifully-made Christian crosses on eBay and so, personally, I don't endorse the beliefs of Christianity, but I certainly objectively do because I know that there are Christians out there that I'm marketing the product to and I wanna profit off of them... I'm objectively an enabler. Now, I don't mean to morally equate the SA symbol to a cross, but you get the idea...
So, point is, he objectively endorses Nazi-era symbolism and he knows that there are people out there that wanna buy it, so he's willing to profit off of them... How about if he was making KKK hoods/clothing and selling that on eBay, but says, well, hey, I don't endorse/agree with the KKK, I just supply their clothing and hell if they can pay, their money is good as far as I'm concerned ?? Same deal. Would you accept a bullshit disclaimer at face value then?
We can believe his claims about his personal views, but he has shown himself time and time again to be intellectually dishonest, less than credible... And then you take the discovery of him participating in a forum like chimpout.com, a site just of pure hate for black people, his general a$$hole attitude here ever since he arrived, and you can make pretty sound conclusions about the guy. One of the few things he has told the truth about is "never backing down," that much is for sure... He's still as defiant, unapologetic and shameless as ever and trying to cast all the evidence brought before him as the result of nothing more than "drama-queen-ism" and other annoying things like simplifying or miscasting the outrage down to, "Oh, you guys don't like that I have all white chicks on my desktop??" He further insults people's intelligence with that shit...
At this point, I think this sounds about right.
Ah good, we agree there.
Eh, funny, exactly what I think about the majority of democrats and Occupy Wall Street criminals.
The majority of Democrats are f*cking stupid, they just don't wear it on their sleeves like Republicans do.
We'll have to agree to disagree. The thing is, nobody used this a$$hole to beat up groups on the forum other than racists. I judged him as an individual racist/extremist lunatic. I didn't try to attack republicans, libertarians or other political philosophies over this by trying to tie him to them... if you claim you didn't judge his disclaimer with any kind of personal prejudice, you certainly brought it for your later attack: majority of republicans = f*cking stupid. Also, republicans can hate Obama like they hated Clinton who they tried to impeach and it not have nothing to do with race/skin color - I'm tired of the race-card getting played by default. We had 8 years of Bush=Hitler hate, and the fact is, you can't run the country without pissing just about half of it off since presidential elections get won by 50% + 1-3 points, etc...
As a Reagan-republican myself, I made sure to beat this guy down even while others wanted to dismiss the criticism as "drama-queen-ism" as I said. He was offensive on many levels. At first, I wondered if I should get involved at all, I knew it'd pit me against other forum members that really wanted to buy signs from the guy, but Professor broke the dam to where it was blatantly revealed that this guy really was someone that should not get ANYBODY'S money given his background and that warranted a certain level of "activism" like gougers receive or swiss-type guys, etc. I'm sorry that offends people, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. I consider Bernie and Arkhan friends, and the pedophilia charges really pissed me off and the lack of justice afterwards, so that was my motivator really. At the end of the day, Xray's pride and extremism is what led to this, had he actually taken the "high road" and stopped mouthing off, Professor, myself and others would've lost interest and turned our attention towards the usual stuff around here.

You know, so I have one place that is "mine"...

For the past six+ months all of this stuff had been hidden behind a wall of crates and plastic bins. Basically, I had been using my living room as a storage room.
As always, I am recycling some old gear that my wife is no longer using...her old monitors, harddrives, and speakers = new to me.

What was I doing on 12.07.2014?

This is where I've been working when not on the couch. Currently my laptop is my daily driver so I use the desktop for reference/tunes/videos while working on laptop docked to my favorite mouse and keyboard, and my best (but too glossy to use as a main) monitor during the day.
I want to change the layout a bit, but this is as good as it gets for now,

Classy Jibbs :P But no second monitor while video editing? Your show is too professional to pull that off on a single screen - I refuse to believe this is the truth !!

What kind of receiver is that? That's a really cool idea to use one of those older ones for your computer. My computer speakers are currently godawful garbage.

I can't make out the brand name, but it better not be Realistic. Ha!
If that is a 70's Marantz on his desk I'll punch him, because I still remember the moment I surreptitiously relocated my dad's receiver from his bedroom and and hooked it up to the TV/VCR/video games in the living room...where it remained for a decade.
The lack of ventilation on the top of that receiver does have me concerned, though.

Damn, I guess I have carpet-bombed the forums.

STATUS: My desk is a mess, but I am trying to figure out if I can keep a monitor + console permanently on my desk at all times. I don't think I have enough room (even if I ditch my lamp), so I bought a metal shelf that I can install under my desk (to hold a console). My wife doesn't want my desk to be ugly... neither do I, so... I might have to get creative. :)

I have one of the 9" Sony PVM's set up in a tiny space in my office. It really is nice that it takes up less space than my printer, even. :D
-
I am wondering myself how to set up something like that near my desk. A dream of mine has been this walk-in a/v closet type deal behind all the entertainment stuff so you can mount a tv/monitor in the wall between but easily hide and easily get to the connections to swap things around. We're still trying to figure out what to do with our basement area so maybe I can make that happen one day. Can you buy racks for those pvms? That might be a good intermediate plan.

I have several PVM's, and picked up a few handmade racks (made from angle iron on wheels) from the guy that sold them to me. He used them for Video production and had to take them all over heck to different movie shoots, etc. So he had custom racks built to hold two and 4 respectively for transport to various productions. They had carpeted levels and velcro tape to hold the PVM's in place, solid construction and air-filled tires.
I don't have any photos right now because everything is in storage, but I can measure the dimensions the next time head there and can send you a photo of the setup in case you want to build one for yourself.
