Seriously?

This is a PC gaming forum. Except for evilgrins and leo, who can't afford - 10 year old PCs, everyone here is browsing this at + 1920x1080, and it looks like those two dudes don't really care about off-topic...

Not all of us use browsers at full screen either. :)

Also, the screenshot tag just forces a width and height on the image, doesn't make the file size any smaller.

I installed Windows 8 Pro today.
Congrats! Did you try selecting two images as backgrounds? That way you'll get different wallpaper on each display.

Not all of us have two 19x12 displays (I simply don't have space for two on my desk), and I don't always use bigger screen for browsing. On 1366x768 (btw, a standard resolution for most 2-3 year old notebooks) lots of pics in original resolution will tear the layout. Using screenshot tag just makes sure this doesn't happen. Or should I start linking wallpapers in BMP reasoning that because I happen to have good connection and this is a gaming forum everyone else is the same?

Most are multilayered 'Photomanipulations' the exception being the second which was all photoshop and my wacom. They are arranged chronologically by most recent to oldest. Hence the resolution changes.

That's some clean glassware.
thank you sir.
that's how we do it over in Colorado nowadays. I don't really smoke weed anymore. I inhale vapor clouds. almost exclusively into concentrates and no butane either, no torch, no flame, no combustion. all electricity. it's so clean you could recycle the bong water for days and it doesn't smell like anything or turn color. not to mention the fact that it's simply vaporizing. if you enjoy getting high there's literally no healthier way to do it.

the glass is here:

the rig is here:

and this isn't my own video, but this is identical to the setup that I'm actually using:

here's some more detail on my own gear.

Nice glass man. I am going sober today because I'm broke ... :(

My preferred method of smoking is a ryobi heatgun, a glass bowl designed to fit it, and a bong. Bong vapor rips. I used to do oils and extracts, but this thing makes extraction unnecessary since the vaporization itself is an extraction, and you can pack the bowl w/ 1-2grams if you wanted to.

It was sarcasm.

So, Win8 really is total BS, glad I never "up"graded and saved myself from that train wreck.
Anyone here still using that garbage?

With Classic Shell, Windows 8 works just like Windows 7. I've been using 8 for a few months and it works just fine, if not faster than 7. Haters gonna hate... on Windows 8.
