Sound's pretty interesting, although I have an iPod, I'd have to say Microsoft pretty much owns Apple with most products. Considering Mac's are sold much less than Windows OS'es ;P

If you don't like halo you either, A: dont have a mind, or B: live underground. I can't believe such a topic even exists lol

I think they do it so they dont get raped or murdered guys could defend themselves, you don't see ugly girls or buff ones going in the bathroom with anyone else, do yah?

I love remembering dreams, in my dreams I live in empires where i alone am god, and control everything, i dream of beautiful women, being rich as bill gates and all kinds of things of the sort, but i only remember dreams about once a week. -.-" but yeah i'd totally buy that *BLEEP*!

There could very well be two universes as in the views of the popular anime fullmetal alchemist. I believe this to be true because why else would god put us on this universe, if there were no afterlife or something of the sort?

There's definately a life after death, or alternate lives, or universes. For example Full-Metal Alchemist, before I watched that show I feared death. I now wonder about it. Full-Metal Alchemist's alternate universe. Also the gate theory, I love it. It's so well thought out and whatnot, there being a big **bottom** door that leads to either hell or another opposite universe. If there is such a thing, then we 'live' forever, that being said, live without fear of death, because we all want to know what its like really, in a way. And you can't forget the fact that dejavu occurs. When I experience dejavu it feals as if I've expierienced everything that's happening before, sometimes I get flashbacks, of certain things, other times I get flashback of entire days. Not to forget heaven or hell, or if there's even a reason we go ether way.

No offense mate, but your forum signatures really aren't anything special in my opinion. And making a signature really doesn't take much time or knowledge of Photoshop. It's just something to do to make yourself look fancy. I personally make signatures as well, but all of mine are very different, and hard to duplicate. Yours could have been done in 5 minutes. Your renders aren't blended, your colors don't match and you pick HORRIBLE renders, get some nice renders from gamerenders or something. For example, the FullMetal Alchemist signature, the render is just sitting there, and it's totally pixelated, go over it with the blur tool, put some better color over it that actually matches Ed, then get back to me. I'm not trying to be mean, just inform you.

I advise you not to Install it if you plan on UnInstalling it. When trying to do this in an earlier version of the program, it *BLEEP*ed up my registry, command prompt, and my system shell. I ended up having to do a total reinstallation of windows XP to rid of it.

yeah longhorn is actually vista, for some reason they changed the name then delayed it around a year or so lmao, thats microsoft for you.

I hope you are in your senses, I install windows and check my ram indicator! daMN.. I was wondering where did my 160 mb go. So windows XP does take a *BLEEP* load of resources. And it is a general rule that as operating system progress, they do take increased amount of resources. But they also give that much of stability, reliability, performance etc. in return. Don't believe me, Start off with DOS to Windows XP and see for yourself.

Yeah no *BLEEP*. We're not all dumbasses! If you don't know THAT about computers, you shouldn't have one

I'm not trying to sound illegal or anything but hackers can quite easily bypass Microsoft's Genuine Software Validation and Piracy programs and softwares. I've heard a few clicks and types with the registry or something can get you a pirated, newly updated Operating System. Also I think that Bill Gates edition is total bullsh*t. But get it from your friend if you wanna try it, if he hacks you, tell us about it here and I will do my best to help you. If it works, post it here. lol

I've seen a few warez sites with Windows Vista downloads, I didn't download them because I hear torrents are illegal and trace able, so I advise people not to use them if they don't wanna get fine'd and sue'd. XP

Great share, I love this version of the MSOFFICE Series, but i was dissapointed that the graphical user interface wasn't skinable. Anyone else find that annoying? >.<

Very nice catch, I use D21 as well, now i gotta go change it, thanks for posting this! Otherwise i might've been exploited

great tutorial, when i saw it i was kind of skeptical, but then i actually read it and it was pretty good, i might link to it on my own forums!

very usefull, I think I'll try using this instead of invisionfree, invisonfree isn't cusomizable enough lol

great tutorial mate, could have used this a while back when I used the vista transformation pack then wanted to uninstall, totally screwed up my shell and I had to do a total hard drive reformat >.<

register at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and get 10$ total and 0.5$ by each person that u refer to this site to register. You can create new accounts by changing ur IP and then in 10 minutes u got 10$ cash on ur e-gold account....lol. Thats it.

Great **bottom** post man, I use that process too, it makes me around 10 dollars in 5 minutes though and I just go ahead and spend it on online games. Gotta love E-Gold.

This is more than likely the single most useful software on the face of the planet, great share mate

photoshop for all my digital graphics and thats that ^_~ i also use Macromedia Dreamworks and am very happy with the results it gives me. " love creating new thingsin photoshop. Everytime you go into that program and fool aorund, you always get something new. I love it!" I know exactly what you mean man, everytime you make something it's different!

good share, i have a PHP script just like this saved to my hard drive somewhere, if i find it i'll upload it to megaupload so that everyone can use it

you can use paypal with google? :?

i personally love my iPod Video, but you do NEED conversion software to get vids on there that arent from iTunes sadly

Ok this is my first tutorial like this. Here goes:

With AMC's Forum Signature Tutorial you can make uber cool sigs!

 

Matierals Needed:

1) Photoshop.

 

2) Half a brain. That's right half a brain, if you have a whole brain, then go to a neurologist right this minute.

 

3) Some descent custom brushes. You can get these brushes from http://www.deviantart.com/

 

Now, let us begin.

 

Create a new document 350px x 150px with a white background.

 

Fill the white background with black.

 

Use a few custom brushes (abstract fractal and grunge are my fav.) on a new layer. With the foreground color set to white, and a 50% brush opacity. Tip: Try switching between black and white and adding multiple layers to get an even better result. I got this as a result:

 

Now its time to add some color, go to Layer, New Adjustment Layer, Color Balance, then move the arrows up and down til u find a color you like I used the following combination in the midtones section +100 +18 -72.

I ended up with the following:

 

Now its time to add a render to you sig. Pick out a render you like from a render site (here's mine):

and then copy and paste the part of the render you want to add to your sig using the rectangular selection tool.

 

Next, you'll want to select some kind of selection tool, then right click (while your new render layer is selected) on a part of your render and then click free transform. Constrain your render to fit your sig to your liking. I got the following:

 

Now we blend the render into the sig. The way I go about this is by getting out a custom abstract or grunge brush and start brushing the edges and whatnot of the render layer. I ended up with this:

 

Now that you have a nice clean render and background, try putting the render layer under the color adjustment layer (sometimes it looks better, sometimes it doesnt)

 

Add some text with a font of your choice, I used "Mael" at 18 pt, and got this result:

 

Now comes a very important part of adding text. Blending options. If you don't know how to get to blending options, simply right click your layer and go to blending options. Play with these options till you get something that you think blends with your sig. I used the following on default (Except for stroke which I set to 1px, and I changed the colors around a little.):

Now, finally you are done. If you wish to add multicolor or a pixel-stretch background, how to blend renders in other ways or more tutorials visit my forum or keep looking on Des's cause I'm getting very active. Look for more soon!
