Fuck you both. Two columns isn't cluttered at all. You have no idea the horrors I've seen on my past room mates' desktops.
6's for you both. Satanic fuckers.

Asshole.
Oh...i can imagine. i've seen the entire screen from left to right slammed full of icons. i say it was cluttered because you have some installation executables still laying around. Clean that shit up.
And change your shell while you at it.

Look at both of my screenshots. They are both Windows XP but i've discarded the old clunky Explorer shell that is "recommended" by Microsoft. In the first one i use UTBox shell with the Resource pack. Adds alot of backgrounds and icon sets. In the second i used LiteStep.
Simply put the shell is the GUI front-end.

This is my Windows desktop. It's fairly steampunk right now.
Tekajo: Yay Linux! What distro do you use? I'm a fan of Kubuntu Ibex. It works very well and KDE4 looks awesome.
I will check out UTbox too. Does it work well? I've been looking for a simple freeware shell that I like. I've tried a bunch of different ones (including litestep, which I wasn't a fan of, and Talisman 2 and Aston, but I got irritated at them) and have ended up just adding on to explorer with things like RocketDock and Styler/Windowblinds.

Yeah. I feel it inspires me every time I see it.
Someone sacrificed himself to the highest extent for his beliefs and yet despite my beliefs I'm enjoying leisure time in front of a screen rather than doing something better with my time.
Recently when I see it I feel the urge to practice the saxophone more.
Ironically, I don't actually see my desktop background that often because msn messenger is almost always open.

He accomplished absolutely nothing.
Such symbolic tripe is unbecoming of an atheistic anarchist.

Everything is semiotics, Mr. Fitlh. (or ETS, which one sounds better?)

What an obtuse statement.
A guy burning is a guy burning. How others perceive it is delusion, not symbolism, not a beginning of change in the collective consciousness. It's suicide as public shock treatment, a desperate plea for attention and the ultimate in cowardice.
And yes. If spelling 'Filth' is completely beyond your grasp then you can call me EtS.

I don't agree that it's 'ultimate cowardice'. How could it?
But as for it being the beginning of change in the collective consciousness, it certainly isn't. But it was a wake up call of my individual perception. The passion itself can be understood by anyone.

He gave up on life and made a scene about it. He said "I would rather burn than go on with the hard hard struggle of life". What would you call it? Strength in the face of adversity? To succumb to death instead of evolve? To thin yourself out from the herd? To die instead of persist? That's inspiring to you, a strong minded atheistic anarchist?

He said "I can better serve my cause through my death than through life"
What would I call it? Sacrifice.
That's inspiring to me, a strong minded atheistic anarchist. That you think it would be otherwise baffles me.

And he was right. He brought all of the wrongs he was protesting to a screeching halt.

Pretty dull, I know.
@ LaBelleDameSansMerci: What exactly did you use to make your desktop look so cool? Is it something you can only do with Linux? I have windows XP and it sucks, but I'm not really sure how to get Linux.
