Re: Big and Bloated.

The US site doesn't display correctly here. Plus, I'm pretty sure that there isn't any thing smart about anything currently in the US.

oh we're getting there wink These gas prices are just going crazy. I've already traded in my 318 truck for a little 2.4L (4 cyl) toyota tacoma. I don't care how sissy I look when I'm getting 27 mpg compared to 11!

Re: Big and Bloated.

I read that that some of the new hydrogen cars will be completely modular. You can actually take the body off the base of the car and put a new body on it.

I know it's my fault for sticking in a rather dubious car analogy, but come guys, this isn't Off-Topic you know! smile

Re: Big and Bloated.

I was just looking at my X background and realized how much bloat I've added to fluxbox trying to get a bump-mapped, shaded, hi-res globe to spin as my background. Ahh... eyecand!

Re: Big and Bloated.

man ibertus, that sounds awesome. I wish I could see a screenshot of that.

I'll add my opinion by saying that as long as it doesn't 'look' or 'handle' in a bloated way, I'm really not too concerned about the actual size.
