how do I get the "this copy of windows is not genuine" thingy to go away?

If only the solution for some problems weren't self-evident.

LOL

What's that I see in your taskbar? Is that a uTorrent icon? Damn filthy pirate.

How else would I download my Linux distros & purchased Humble Bundle games?

Seriously, I quit pirating stuff in my 20's.

Just messin' with you, Jaysyn.

Yeah, same here. For the most part, I use free/open source software wherever possible, and payware when it's not.

About the only thing I torrent is TV shows.

I see two copies of Fallout 3, there. You, sir, are doin' it RIGHT.

It's a trick, I used the cardboard sleeve from Fallout 3 to keep the DLC cases together.

I took this screen about a week ago intending to post here, but Photobucket was being annoying and I gave up. ("When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled, oh brave Sir Robin!")

Oh brave Sir Robin.
He was not at all afraid
To be killed in nasty ways.
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin.

He was not in the least bit scared
To be mashed into a pulp.
Or to have his eyes gouged out,
And his elbows broken.
To have his kneecaps split
And his body burned away,
And his limbs all hacked and mangled
Brave Sir Robin.

His head smashed in
And his heart cut out
And his liver removed
And his bowls unplugged
And his nostrils raped
And his bottom burnt off
And his pen--

I sort my application shortcuts into broad categories, from left to right it's:

---

• Frequently accessed directories
  • My Computer
    
  • My Documents
    
  • UDK data directory
    
  • Fallout 3 data directory
    
    
• 3D Art
  • Blender 2.49b
    
  • Blender 2.63a (there's a reason I have two Blenders installed, but it would blow your mind.)
    
  • Sculptris
    
  • It's not pictured, but I recently added an FBX converter here... Yeah, don't get too excited now.
    
    
• Gaming / Game SDKs
  • Katawa Shoujo (been playing this a lot lately)
    
  • Fallout 3 (I don't play it, but I've been meaning to release the mod I was working on... at some point)
    
  • GECK
    
  • Nifskope
    
  • UDK
    
  • Unreal Frontend
    
  • Snes9x
    
  • ePSXe
    
    
• Music / Audio
  • Free Sound Recorder
    
  • Audacity (I use this and the above for simple stuff)
    
  • Cubase AI4
    
  • FL Studio
    
  • Guitar Pro 5 (I actually use this for scoring. Unlike in Sibelius [which I also have but rarely use] you can write and play back string bends, harmonics, dives, etc. which makes it more useful for me. And it can do almost everything other scoring software does anyway. Although, I occasionally get cascading error messages in French...)
    
  • iTunes. Yeah, I fucking use it. Sue me.
    
    
• Video recording / editing / playback
  • Fraps
    
  • CamStudio Recorder
    
  • Corel VideoStudio
    
  • VLC (the only format I haven't been able to play on this is MIDI and I don't open them in media players anyway, so it's all good.)
    
    
• FTP / torrent / browsers / IM clients
  • FileZilla
    
  • uTorrent (god, I hate that new icon. It looks like a sign you would see in a subway in Europe. Or at least what I imagine a sign in a subway in Europe would look like. Probably Sweden. Bastards.)
    
  • Firefox (no idea why this is on my quick launch thingy. I don't really use it. I have all the major browsers installed for testing but it seems [seems] to be that rendering between browsers [even IE] is more uniform that it once was. But I could be way off about that; I only design stuff for myself when I need it and am no expert.)
    
  • Chrome
    
  • Skype (only started using it recently because I composer I'm working with does, but a lot of people seem to use it so I don't grudge it. I do wish it could be integrated into Pidgin though.)
    
  • Pidgin
    
    
• Image editing
  • Photoshop CS3 (very lonely here. I've considered getting Illustrator, but I do vector work in Photoshop fine for now...)
    
    
• Word processing / coding / other stuff with words (actually, I do word processing on Google Docs, but if I did it locally this is where the icon would be. This is useless information. You're slowly dying and yet you choose to read this.)
  • Edraw (makes flowcharts, mind maps and stuff like that)
    
  • Notepad++ (I don't know what I did before this. Seriously, I have amnesia.
    
    ...
    
    Get out of my bungalow!)
    
    

Don't know why I wrote that list. I guess I just don't want to die and have something horrible happen like someone wonder what this or that icon meant. That'd be tragic.

I try not to make my wallpapers too bright, because my eyes are very sensitive and while, at night, blinds them. Lol

I'm testing out having different wallpapers for each desktop space.
