This wallpaper captures the urban essence that proliferated the art of Ghost in the Shell in every incarnation of the series. Phill does an amazing job of capturing a moment of surrealism.

While there are a few, stray building angles and shadows, you find that your eye forgives the minor details and instead focuses on the overall scene that is larger than life, with lights trailing off into infinity.

Ah, I see. So after approving is possible to change to even a not listed resolution.

The first was a 4:3 wallpaper. The low res widescreen version has been added later.

Kath: That means that the first was 1440x900?

^hatesyou 28 minutes ago
The 1280x800 version has been uploaded by the user as a first revision. Might pay to get your facts straight before complaining.

We should go up with resolutions not down. Btw AP resizes 1440x900 automatic to 1280x800.

Im glad, because 1280x800 fits my laptop screen :3

Hmmm, AP makes such a big fuss about resolutions, but I see again a 1280x800 being accepted. Not even listed.

I saw this on another forum and it works great. Gives your firefox a browseing boost. Heres what to do:<b>Everything you should type is of course things you should type in without the quotes. I just use them to separate what you should type and what not to type.Also, this will only work in Firefox. Do not attempt this in IE seeing as IE does not have any of these functions.Also, if you are on dialup,it is possible that this will not speed your surfing up a lot. It might help you a bit, but not very much.1) Surf to "about:config". Type that in your location Bar.2) You will see a new place to type named "Filter". Here you should type in"network.http"3) The list of stuff will have shortened significantly. Look for the rows named"network.http.pipelining" and "network.http.proxy.pipelining". Doubleclick on these so that their value changes from "false" to "true".4) In this list, you will also find a row named "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", doubleclick on this and type in "30" in the popup box and click ok.5) After you have done this, rightclick on some empty space in this list and choose "new -> Integer". In the first box that pops up, type"nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and hit ok. You will then be presented with yet another box, in this you type "0" and hit ok.6) Restart firefox.You have now enabled a feature called "HTTP Pipelining" which in essence should do something like downloading the page your viewing in several parts at once instead of just one part. The speedup comes from that if the server is slow, you can download many parts at once, adding the speed of those together instead of having to wait for the entire page to load through the slow connection.This will not speed your internet connection up if you're on dialup, sorry. This thing helps you utilize more of your bandwidth, it does not create additional bandwidth for you. Also, if the servers you're surfing to are already fast, they will not become much faster.The second thing this does is eliminate the delay that firefox has in rendering your webpage. Firefox has a built-in delay of approximately one second in which it waits for the webserver to download the page before it starts drawing it out on the screen. This "nglayout" thing you did eliminates that delay and tells firefox to begin drawing the page for you immediatly.</b>

Haha, I know what pipelining is...For me, it doesn't seem like a huge speedup...

I did a bunch of stuff to firefox awhile back when I was on dial-up to make it faster.<a href='http://users.tns.net/~skingery/firefox/Home_Page.html' target='_blank'>http://users.tns.net/~skingery/firefox/Home_Page.html</a> is a very helpful site. Implemented just about everything listed there.

Thank you so much! After switching from IE to Mozilla, the browser seems speedy for a while, but it's been slowing down lately. With this method, it brought it up to speed again! =D
