----------------------------------- templest Sun Jun 06, 2004 5:02 pm Contest: Gues that OS! ----------------------------------- I know this would be better in the "Contest" forum, but, that one seems to be a little... err, empty. More people will see it here. 8) I have a set of screenshots. You are to guess the Operating System, but don't think I made it easy. The winner gets 100 Bits. :shock: :wink: Is it a [b]real[b] mac with some foolies to make you think it's windows? Is it linux w/ KDE tweaked out to look like a Mac showing a Windows partition to make you think it's Windows? Is it windows disguised as a Mac? Is it GNOME doing the same thing as above? Is it Enlightenment doing the same? Is it PearPC running fullscreen? ect... It's up to you to decide, but NAME THAT OS! http://members.rogers.com/xiplst/screenshots.rar ----------------------------------- jonos Sun Jun 06, 2004 5:32 pm ----------------------------------- It is PearPC in fullscreen. ----------------------------------- templest Sun Jun 06, 2004 5:37 pm ----------------------------------- I wont say if you're right or wrong. On Friday, I'll award the first person to get it right the hundred bits, and anyone thereafter to get it right, 5 complementary bits. ----------------------------------- Blade Mon Jun 07, 2004 6:37 am ----------------------------------- yeah... pearPC (mac OSX) in fullscreen. but windows xp is the OS... ----------------------------------- templest Wed Jun 09, 2004 9:57 am ----------------------------------- C'mon kids, two entries? It doesn't take long to guess, even if you don't look at the pics, just randomly guess. :wink: It's a hundred bits. :P ----------------------------------- Catalyst Wed Jun 09, 2004 12:20 pm ----------------------------------- real mac ----------------------------------- Dan Wed Jun 09, 2004 1:19 pm ----------------------------------- I am going to guse it is a mac emulator of some kind or somting used to view the monotr of another comp. Now as to what OS it realy is i whould have to guse winXP b/c 1. if it is a real mac this post was real dum and 2. i dont know of any linux mac emulators althougth there probly are some. As it is almost imposable to tell, b/c u could take a SS from any comp and then make it fullscreen on a diff OS and take another SS. ----------------------------------- templest Wed Jun 09, 2004 3:05 pm ----------------------------------- I am going to guse it is a mac emulator of some kind or somting used to view the monotr of another comp.

Even Mac OS X. :P BTW: There are no screenshots inside screenshots in here. What you're seeing is the actual OS, whatever that may be. ----------------------------------- Dan Wed Jun 09, 2004 3:36 pm ----------------------------------- PearPC is portable to all operating systems.

What you're seeing is the actual OS, whatever that may be. while tecnoly PearPC (from what i understand it is) is a SS of the other comp, just one that updates fast so u can see what is going on :roll: ----------------------------------- templest Wed Jun 09, 2004 5:58 pm ----------------------------------- wtf are you smokin'? PearPC is an emulator. It emulates a PowerPC architecture on your x86 machine. You actually do install OS X on a Virtual hard drive you create on the computer. :? ----------------------------------- jonos Wed Jun 09, 2004 6:11 pm ----------------------------------- Templest ownz you Hacker Dan 8) . ----------------------------------- Amailer Wed Jun 09, 2004 8:31 pm ----------------------------------- Hmm well it's not a mac.. i can see that but what other OS can it be? windows? it sure looks like a windows except with the explore taskbar removed and replaced with another .. mac ish one.. so im saying windows ----------------------------------- Catalyst Wed Jun 09, 2004 10:21 pm ----------------------------------- it must be a mac (or emulator) b/c of firefox http://kmgerich.com/pinstripe/about.html ----------------------------------- Paul Wed Jun 09, 2004 10:33 pm ----------------------------------- has anyone noticed its really hard to highlight a specific section of that website? ----------------------------------- Amailer Wed Jun 09, 2004 10:46 pm ----------------------------------- what about winamp? ----------------------------------- Catalyst Wed Jun 09, 2004 10:53 pm ----------------------------------- a: thats why i thought it was pearpc, but that seemed too easy and someone already said it pb: try using mozilla, ie sucks :D ----------------------------------- templest Thu Jun 10, 2004 2:39 pm ----------------------------------- Contest closes at 6:00PM Eatern Times, coincidentally London, Ontario time! :D. Make sure to make your vote! ----------------------------------- Amailer Thu Jun 10, 2004 5:11 pm ----------------------------------- Im still going with windows :? those other's just don't seem common... hehe for me atleast :roll: ----------------------------------- Dan Thu Jun 10, 2004 11:05 pm ----------------------------------- wtf are you smokin'?

ROFL, i though it was somting eletes. One of the progames that shows you a SS of another comp on your netwrok, sory my bad. (I forget the name of the progame i was thking about was close to that. Soming like SharePC i think) ----------------------------------- Martin Thu Jun 10, 2004 11:12 pm ----------------------------------- Windows XP I'd say. Not linux, because a linux user would have to be drunk to use winAMP over xmms. No idea about this PearPC crap, it's easy enough to make winxp look like osx. ----------------------------------- Martin Thu Jun 10, 2004 11:14 pm ----------------------------------- It gives itself away. This is definately Windows XP, running WindowBlinds and DesktopX. Program Files. Paint. That retarded warped window effect. I bet he had to reboot between each screenshot too :P ----------------------------------- templest Fri Jun 11, 2004 8:49 am ----------------------------------- how do you know that's not just an XMMS theme? :shock: :P ----------------------------------- Amailer Fri Jun 11, 2004 10:19 am ----------------------------------- maybe because you won't have it hehe and all your posts (looking back) have either been about win xp or mac os x (a comp which you just brought) hmm the res.. gatta check that out brb come to think of it.. im going with what Catalyst said http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/userpics/12468/hee.png http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/userpics/12468/nicey.PNG I never knew mac comps had the username written on the top right conner (of the taskbar or w/e) odd. ----------------------------------- templest Fri Jun 11, 2004 5:22 pm ----------------------------------- I never knew mac comps had the username written on the top right conner (of the taskbar or w/e) odd. It's there for fast user switiching... like in windows XP. If you click it, there's a list of all the userrs for PC and you hit the one you want to change to, type the password. And the desktop becomes one face of the cube and it turns 90º sideways to change to other desktop, pretty neat. ;) ----------------------------------- Amailer Fri Jun 11, 2004 10:46 pm ----------------------------------- oh the new mac, ya.. i got an old mac here.. :S ----------------------------------- templest Sat Jun 12, 2004 9:48 am ----------------------------------- darkness get the bits for being the only one that actually got it. :D Amalier get's 50 bonus bits for being the first one to hint at the fact that it could have been a themed copy of Windows XP. And no, My computer can run all that plus a few more apps and not have to reboot, and still be usable. ;) This is a guide I found to do all the mods. Pretty neat stuff, thought it would be fun. I fooled some of you, and by some I mean most :D EDIT: I know some more people said it was Windows, but you had to sort of know what I was doing too, not just say: "It was Windows because I think that's what you use the most". :? You still get your complimentary 5 bits. :) Except for Dan, he can just hack the server config files. :P ----------------------------------- Paul Sat Jun 12, 2004 9:58 am ----------------------------------- Why would u give darkness or amailer bits lol, as soon as they post anything, their bits go back to 1000 ----------------------------------- templest Sat Jun 12, 2004 10:14 am ----------------------------------- :shock: Well... I'm owned. ----------------------------------- Martin Sat Jun 12, 2004 1:42 pm ----------------------------------- Hah. I didn't know that those were yours. Kudos on modding it, it looks good. Here are your bits back :P
