Desktop.. Everyone has one of these!

[Dazzyls 576]

The winner of the desktop containing most shortcuts is... ...I think my desktop:

 

and than I ask myself: "Am I a game freak?"

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

I think it would freak me out to see SC4 as my desktop background.  "OH MY GOD DID I LEAVE IT OPEN" or something would be my first thought upon opening my laptop.  It's kind of an appealing idea, though.

 

Dodge Viper for early summer, although the return of the rainy season has made me want to switch back to the Grand Cherokee or one of the Wranglers in the rain I have.

lol, I will never think that.

 

A Dodge... Why everyone loves American cars? Swedish and Italian cars are better!

1. Koeningsegg (Sweden)
2. Pagani (Italy)
3. Audi (Germany)
4. BMW (Germany)
5. McClaren (England)

(The best cars in the world)

 

EDIT: I forgot Chevrolet Corvette (USA)

I'm not allowed to like American cars?  Even though I'm American?    What about Japanese cars?  They don't make great cars here?  Where I live?  And here I was thinking that they made many different cars to suit many different people.  I'll repeat that to myself every night before I go to sleep: "Swedish cars and Italian cars are better," ctrl+c, ctrl+v.

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

Well, over the years I've had a large number of cars (one or two at a time).  I think the best one was our last Odyssey Van made by Honda.  Held us with teen-aged kids, groceries, dogs, and yachting supplies all at the same time.

[Superbacon 380]

My '98 Accord has gotten me everywhere I need to be since I started driving. I love Honda. And I intend to buy a new Accord of what ever year it is when my '98 can no longer go another mile. I'm inherently pessimistic about most American cars for their shorter longevity and average fuel mileage which hasn't changed much in the last 10 - 15 years. Not to mention all the huge SUVs and trucks we make.

 

Anyway, my current desktop! Not sure what city this is, but it's cool.

Ubuntu 13.04 (GNU/Linux 3.8.0-25-generic x86_64)

 

[Dazzyls 576]

Is that Windows XP? Lol, I didn't know Greek computers had Greek text on it near the Windows button! The Dutch XP says windows, not ramen. Lol

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

Actually, I think its Windows 7, but choosing a language for Windows usually results in all defaults changing to that language.  I switched to Chinese once by accident, and if I hadn't know what I'd done, I'd have had to reload my machine.

Manila

That's technically not Manila, though that city is within Metro Manila.

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

@Geometry:  Why are you running the Apache server?  Or are you just kidding?

[Haljackey 17,398]

Finally cleaned my desktop lol

 

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

My dream Subaru.  well, no, I can't say that.  When this thing gets an AWD, turbo, STi version, oh yes.  It's got four seats, too, makes a good family car.  Gotta think of the kids, right?

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

Yes, but you need the space set up for four western adults and not for four Japanese adults.  Some Japanese cars remind me of the seats on Air Canada.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

*half Western.  My wife is Japanese, so we might just be okay here.  For a while, at least!

[Alejandro24 575]

I've reinstalled WinXP to the desktop computer. The result is a new life for an old machine, and it's becuase it works fine and I would not like to loose that computer.

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

Well, you could back it out to something like Ubuntu 7.04.  Worked fine on my old Windows XP box.

[MandelSoft 2,775]

I do have some brony fan-art as desktop backgrounds. Some of these look pretty bad-ass:
 

(I love darker stories and art! Remember, MLP:FIM is actually a light-hearted kids animation series...) 

 

Also, this is clearly not the standard Windows 8 UI...
 

 
Best,
Maarten

[Dazzyls 576]

Wow, Maarten. You're really a roadgeek! Is that last picture the Prins Claus Plein, den Haag (the Hague)?

[timmie 988]

Aha, the only 4-level stack interchange of the Benelux!

Actually probably I'm going to install Linux Mint 15 MATE or maybe KDE. But I have the problem that the computer doesn't start with the USB anymore.

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

Strange.  Consider getting your BIOS updated or fixed.

[Mary Maurine Mayo 984]

Right now I have Windows 7 starter so i can't change my back grounds. but normally I put on a LOTR back ground.

Great movies they are. For those who don't understand what LOTR means: Lord Of The Rings. I had pictures of part 2 on my desktop, but it bored me fast. I think I'm going to use Olympus has Fallen posters as my background. I know it's not a very good story, but there's action in it! (actually, I am too young to see OHF, because kijkwijzer (Dutch sort of PEGI) says I have to be 16 or older if I want to watch that movie, but I'm only 13 )

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

I tend to use personal photographs rather than something published by others.

With the key Impr Pant|PetSis. In Windows It will copy a picture of your desktop, and then paste it into a photo edition program, like Paint or Microsoft Office Picture Manager. In Linux just press the key and the system will ask you to save it. Then upload it to a picture server, like ImageShack, Imgur, Tynipic, etc... even Facebook and Twitpic can work as that.

 

An update of my WinXP desktop.

Windows 8 without a start button... Try Pokki Start for once. That will make Windows 8 a whole lot more bearable...
