a few people who have come over recently have wondered why my windows is styled like mac osx. (actually they've said, staring, "do you have a mac?") the reason is: visual styles. chi wanted links:
studio twentyeight, where a click on 'visual styles' tells about the patch you need

there's also a lot of stuff if you surf around at deviantart.
in other news, last night i installed nero and after burning one disc, it stopped recognising that there was a blank cd in the drive. either we've got a giant spool with a lot of bad blanks with just a few good ones on top, or nero is on the bad crack and should be ritually burnt.possibly by tim gunn. or daniel v.

The Microsoft Word thesaurus is really an anti-thesaurus, the exact opposite of Roget's. As writer Mark Goldblatt revealed in a New York Times column last year, Microsoft has sanitized all entries it deems potentially offensive, including words to describe people who aren't exactly Einstein. "Idiot," for instance, is gone completely. Want a synonym for "dummy"? Try mannequin. How about "fool"? The only substitute is the verb "to trick."
