You suck at censoring.

Censorship of the human body is ridiculous

My desktop is messy and boring. I have about 100-200 icons on a plain black surface (goes up and down constantly, like a digital tide), with a lonely taskbar at the bottom of my 1600 / 1200 flatpanel. I hate wasting time navigating, I hate wasting CPU on drawing stuff I'm only going to ooh and ahh at once, and I'm mouse-oriented, so I just put it all where I need it.

I've tried pretty backgrounds, and they just get in the way- if you're going to do that, why not just not have any icons at all? That seems completely pointless to me, since zipping around my desktop is a lot faster than navigating a menu or remembering which recursive directory I put everything in...

I'm just weird like that, I guess. It's the same reasoning behind why I generally refuse to use "chat" programs- in the time it takes to "chat" about something, I could have 4 much-more-useful phone conversations, or write one really nice, formal email, or one-and-a-half decent Forum entries (er, "walls of text", for you non-readers). It annoys me to no end that people intentionally waste their time like that, and worse yet, want me to join them. Next, they'll be asking me to "text" with teeny buttons on my cell phone, which is even more retarded

I (and Satirik I guess) like your desktop philosophy :)

Looks like mine too except the background is the default windows blue here because I cba to change it and there are a bit less icons on it (mostly since I put downloads in a separate folder, they used to be on the desktop too )

Vistas searchbox is a godsend

I used to have my icons in a different order but some dude that's bewildered about my desktop thought it would be funny to put them all in a folder so messed up the (more or less chronological) "order" they were in. Since I filled up I just delete 2-3 icons I think look unimportant to put more.

What the hell?

I have a total count of 0 desktop icons (since I don't see my desktop anyway)

Covering your desktop in icons makes your computer a heck of a lot slower.

Auswaschbar, have you been reading CodingHorrors?

Here's my laptop desktop:

My desktop.
I like icons...but I'm also can't stand to have them all over the place.

Especially relics of old downloads...

Oh my...

Those are WAY too many icons.

Love this cat

Nice wallpaper AF

*edit*lol broke the forum

FULL RESOLUTION DO NOT WANT

*yawn* I have more stuff than that, just don't wanna clutter my desktop with 'em...

yays, another "post ur desktops!" thread!

ooo where can I get that background quanto? Is it part of a set/collection?
