  1. Wow, I didn't even think this was still floating around. Anyone happen to know where Asch ran off too? What do you think of the Kindle HDX? My nephews have the original kindle and it seemed like a pretty decent little machine for the amount of power it came with. I still haven't bought one yet myself, I always find a way to talk myself out of buying one at the last minute.
  2. Is this just in SteamOS or Steam on Linux itself?
  3. Does 8.1 allow you to print photo's and other stuff without having to dig into the charmbar. What my mother has right know opens all pictures into a fullscreen view regardless of where you opened it from. Since it's in fullscreen mode you have no toolbar or shortcuts to easily print.
  4. VMware is kind of like the emulators you'd use to play Nintendo games on your PC. Instead of emulating a Nintendo it emulates a PC so you can run an OS inside another OS. The VMware image is basically an image made from an OS already running inside VMware. It's designed to drop right into VMware so you don't have to worry about going through the install process yourself. If you're looking for a way to get Kali onto a thumbdrive, take a look at UNetbootin. It's designed to make the process fairly easy.
  5. In the U.S.A. all new episodes should appear on AMC, it's the shows home network.
  6. Sorry about that, I deleted the pictures I had up before because it showed the older colors. I added a new one that should give an idea of what I'm talking about. Again, my css knowledge is very outdated, so any advice to make it better would be appreciated.
  7. I would expect better performance from megui than what I'm seeing in that wmp shot. It has to be wmp's fault, because that one is awful. The vlc one is actually on par for what I'd expect from it. That aside, your problem is still most likely aliasing. It will make your lines look all jagged and broken up. It's probably left over from the deinterlacing process. You should be able to find a fairly simple anti-aliasing filter for avisynth, there are many to choose from. I would honestly take a look at AnimeIVTC or QTGMC. They are scripts you can run in avisynth to do your deinterlacing/detelecining that will also handle cleaning up the crud it sometime leaves behind. Both will require a little more work on your part, but they are my preferred method of dealing with non-progressive material. You may also want to check out AvsPmod, it will probable be easier learning avisynth and it's custom filters with it. I'd keep megui around to tell you if the video needs to be deinterlaced or detelecined, but than move everything to AvsPmod. Doom9, the forum johnflower mentioned, will be a huge help in finding the filters you'll need and teaching you how to use them.
  8. Then you and I have a different definition of personalize. To me, personalizing would be changing the color scheme, location of the taskbar, or anything else that doesn't involve installing something. It also shouldn't use anymore system resources than the default system would. What you and every other win 8 user are doing is modification. You're changing the way the system operates in a way that causes it to do more work than it would in it's default settings. Win 8.1 and this newer update would of never happened if everyone just did what you and people like you are telling them to do. Microsoft doesn't care about making the best OS possible, they just want to sell the most licenses. It's up to us, the consumer, to ensure they continue to improve the OS in both performance and usability. I'm not trying to start yet another argument, but the install this and edit that is getting old. It doesn't get us to where we all want to be, which is win 8 performance with win 7 usability. As for ubuntu, I would just install a distro that doesn't come with unity for the same reasons I listed above.
  9. I believe the problem you're having is a combination of aliasing, and using handbrake to clean non-progressive video. Handbrake is, IMPO, the wrong tool for non-progressive video. It lacks the fine tuning you can achieve from a more advanced filter you would find in avisynth. Avisynth will also offer a host of other filters to combat aliasing, rainbows, mosquito noise, and other crud you would rather not preserve. Handbrake should really only be used when you have progressive video that just needs to be compressed.
  10. I updated the Style above to the newer colors I'm using. I'm sure it still has some bugs hidden in there somewhere, but it should be usable. It should also now work on firefox, but the script above needs editing, details above. Edit: the style above is set to use the font Comfortaa which can be found here.
  11. The customer shouldn't have to fix the companies products. That's what free enterprise is built on. The idea that if you don't like it, don't buy it. This is what fans of Win 8 never seem to understand. It's not metro we're upset about, it's the fact that Microsoft different listen to everyone who's been complaining about metro since the developers preview. The debate should be fairly moot soon, because they're changing it yet again. This time it seems like they are finally listening.
  12. February Desktop - Mechanized Loli!!! Have to add netbook later, I'm reinstalling now
  13. Main Desktop - last screenshot of the year.
  14. Project Meteorite I've never tried this, but the author says it can fix mkv files. Sorry I can't be of more help, but I don't really download anime anymore.
  15. poe dreamer firedogx @poe what is the font you used in your sig?
  16. Well, I think it's a very ruff beta at this point. Geared more towards developers than end users. I believe things will start to get interesting when Portal 2 finishing being ported. That's the one I'm really waiting for. I imagine the 500 gb is more for the massive size of games today than anything involving the actual OS. They could probably save a decent amount of space on the OS if they ditched gnome3. A bloated desktop like that really isn't necessary for something that's going to boot straight into Big Picture Mode. The only thing I'm worried about is the controller. I'm not sure how much I'll like the dual trackpad it's sporting.
  17. Valve has released a beta of their upcoming SteamOS, and it seems to be based on debian stable/wheezy. According to the site, it will overwrite the entire hdd of the computer you install it on. This means dual booting is out of the question at least for now. It doesn't look like I'll get a chance to try this one anytime soon. I lack a spare pc to test it on, so I'll have to wait awhile. I am, however, liking the progress off the Steam Linux Client. This console may be the only one I bother with this gen.
  18. December Netbook Desktop - Playing with lmde cinnamon, not bad but a bit bloated. Main desktop has not changed
  19. This episode left me both sad and disappointed. Sad because of what went down, and disappointed because I had to wait all season for something that was still meh. I really hope it picks up in Feb, because I hate being disappointed by such a good show.
  20. Encase this is really a question and not a 15er. I use these: GoodFon , Alpha Coders , deviantART Google.com is another suggestion. and welcome to the forum
  21. This version hasn't made it into the debian repos yet, so I'll have to wait to hate it. You can try installing a scrollbar extension, I use a modified version of this. I just changed the colors to something that matches the themes I use and narrowed the thumb a bit more. You can find the modified version of my extension at the bottom of my user style linked form here, or here. The extension I linked to isn't the only one for scrollbars either, but it's the only one that I have experience with. Below is an image of what mine looks like. Regarding the arrows, I don't really miss them because my mouse has really smooth scrolling.
  22. This season has been an incredible disappointment. There's no fun in watching the same guy walk away with the win every time. The only plus side has been that Hamilton apparently made the right call for jumping ship last season. I really wasn't expecting him to be this competitive.
  23. I haven't really been all that impressed with this season so far. Not really sure why that is, but I hope it's just because the show is building up for something really awesome later this season.
  24. November Desktop - I basically just added a dock.
