Your Desk - A Picture

I use paint for *everything*
Its the best program (along with notepad) that microsoft EVER wrote. It never crashes, it never does anything you dont want to do. and it saves as .png or .jpg
all you have to do is instead of save, use the save as button and then save as type .PNG or .JPG

works like a charm [/QUOTE]Wait. You like NOTEPAD? Wow. It's got to be about the most hopeless text editor in existance. Even Vi and MSDOS edit are better. Realy. They atleast have line numbering... (although Vim trumps the both of them).
As for Paint - ok, sure, it can save to JPG if you remember to tell it to. Which most people don't. Other programs atleast force you to Export or Save As if you want a browser to be able to understand it... (the exception being Fireworks, which saves by default to uncompressed PNG, which is almost as evil as uncompressed bitmaps).

Yeah, it saves to png, but it doesnt export by default to png, and it is not evil, just because you dont like it.
NOTEPAD is not supposed to be the next Microsoft word, it is supposed to be a free easy stock-standard basic text editor, and thats what it does, just because its not open source doesnt mean you have to find everything wrong with it.

come on guys, can't we all just get along? you both have different views. leave it at that, do not turn this into a thread that no one wants to post in and Bahamut you're welcome, I actually prefer Jasc paintshop pro, but I am out of time on the trial again..so I have to either buy it, or wait for the next version to come out [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img] oh and btw, before you start getting upset about that, I plan to buy it as soon as I can get the money for it

Hivetyrant, it should be, "He scans you when you're sleeping" and not "your" sleeping. He scans me when my sleeping what does what?

I didn't say Fireworks is evil, I said uncompressed PNG is evil. Compressed PNG, on the other hand, is the best thing since vector graphics.

Ofcourse it isn't meant to me the next MS Word, and we can't compare them. Unless you want to compare pasionfruits to cucumbers, that is. It could do with a bit of a revamp, though. Line numbering would be good, so would (basic) syntax highlighting. Those are useful for the type of people who would use a text editor alot: web developers, programmers, etc.

just because its not open source doesnt mean you have to find everything wrong with it.

I don't dislike it because it's not open source. I dislike it because it's crap, pure and simple. But I'm going to stop now, unless this is taken to another thread... we've managed to derail this one from a posting photos to debating text editors, and I think that's far enough.

Anyone know why I can't post my picture at imageshack?

[Arledrian]

LOL, my desk area sucks, but I guess the idea is that it's a totally live and impromptu shot. Anyway, you gotta love the goodness of Ritz crackers combined with the sweet nostalgia of a game like Civ III.

[Megabot]

Edit: If you cant host your picture Callum i can do it for you only mail it to me! [img]smile.gif[/img]

LOL, I didn't think of it like that. I guess it does look kind of risque. It's a good thing I took the jar of hand cream out of the pic. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

"That yellow liquid" is Gatorade - water of the Gods. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I don't play many games at all really. All I do on the computer is listen to music, post sometimes, talk on AIM and play the occasional strategy/RPG game. Sometimes I have to write a paper, too. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
