__THISRES__101665.jpg "Relaxation by °Tens 1 day 1 hour ago")
^nat
As an animation, Bakemonogatari has a simple, clean art style. But the guest illustrations for the series are anything but simple! So, it's great to see that °Tens took on a more complex illustration and made it his own with vector gradients so fine at points it more resembles painting that vectoring. Do have a look at this beautiful wallpaper!

Hi there Mysticmom2 :). I didn't know that you said hi when had I posted my previous comment, sorry ;). Sakiera. I guess it's really harder than it looks huh(?). Well, take a little break from the wallpaper for now. Unless it's for a contest.

Any background can cause me to pull my hair out, but this one is kind of scenic
IE vs. Firefox vs. Opera
1 year 9 months ago
"Personally, I use Firefox, but I'd openly advocate for IE 7 also. The main deciding factors for myself would be Firefox's tabbed format, addons (AdBlock!), themes, Live Bookmarks management, and overall customizability, all of which are superior to IE7, not to mention the point I'm just used to it after using it since probably version 0.8.Also, before I forget, I've tried using Opera over the years and while it does seem to have a better GUI than Firefox in respects to responding to user interaction, there's always been something off about it that makes me avoid it, something I can't describe exactly."

Vista Vs. XP
1 year 9 months ago
"It's amazing how much hatred there is out there for Vista and just how much power it has over the mass market. While XP may have had the same intro with gamers hating the transition and some stores probably advising people don't transition early into it, the OS is still rather good and will improve with maturity. Personally, I can vouch for the maturity part by-in-large, Creative not really having complete drivers and services for their devices until probably 6 months after the release, making the early experience a step below XP.Personally, I've been using Vista for day to day use since I got my hands on RC2 and was part of some of the public testing that pre-dated the release date. For the most part, the OS has been rather good even on my ancient P4 2.4GHz single-core, non-HT CPU with 1.5 GB of ram and an updated GeForce 7600GS. It's true, the thing needs power, but most of the decent PCs and laptops in stores now have enough power and were truly built to run it, making the experience rather perfect. Still, it's the small things that make the difference, like starting programs with a simple few letters in the start menu, or having the bread crumbs in the explorer, or the new soundboard that allows per-application settings, it all makes the experience that much better. While early kinks existed, like the data transfer rates (scary!), many of the technologies included make the experience amazing, like SuperFetch pre-loading applications, a simple front end to see your PC's rated performance, the sidebar, Windows Media Center, feeling true control with User Access Control, and countless other things. Continuing on UAC, it honestly is nice to have at times, reminding you what you're doing and that it might be kind of important and intrusive to your system, not to mention allowing you a moment to think whether you really want to do one action or not.
In my own opinion, I honestly can't go back to XP for a number of reasons, so many of the different Vista features being a norm in the back of my mind and the change of going back just not work my time. The new OS is here, and SP1 will probably build quite a bit off of it, making it probably one of the greatest versions once you get the masses converting and learning how much simpler some tasks become, and how much secure they will become."
