Pardon?

NEVER.

I was asking what the hell I could be lying about, exactly.

Oh and here's the version for people who remember cd\, I call it...

Old School.

Everything. Like, obv.

O EYE C. You're just throwing out non-sequiturs! Vavrek used to do that. Confused the hell out of me every time.

Ostrich.

Ostrich is a good one.

I often dislike it when people apply so-called "random humour" too liberally, which is why I find it difficult to maintain a conversation with OiNutter when he's in a silly mood (which is very often). But today, I was feeling a little like trying some myself. It's not bad.

"Pixel raping"? That sounds bad. What's the deal with the blow-up? Are you just really really high right now?

Smithereens, eliminating desktop icons is only the beginning of the way to peace.

no smoking of weed during weekdays

i meant the colors @ black/white picture
allot of software/sites builders are using this 'raping' (adding red/blue) to enhance the contrast.

Oh right. Well yeah, I think since 2000 the prompt has been anti-aliased. MS's version is called Clear Type, which I DO have enabled. I like it! Technically anti-aliasing is doing the exact opposite of enhancing the contrast, but yes it does make the text seem to pop. The Old Schoolers neither need nor get any such enhancements with raster fonts, but I lived with that for long enough, thank you.
