I somehow missed reading the middle paragraph of your post and thought you were talking about the windows desktop. Anyhow, the programs are still neat and it seems like you do have some time on your hands, so check it out.
There is a program that gives you a 3D desktop in windows. It's called "3DTop" and you can get it here:

There is also a 3D program to view websites with, allowing you to have walls of browsers in a VR room, called Buzz3d and you can find that here:

I'd make these into links but since I can't use the [url] [/url] deal and make it work, and since the people who run slashdot don't seem to find it necessary to have any help on the subject of message formatting, or even a damned button to do it for you, I guess you'll just have to copy and paste.
The first shareware release of the game, and it specifically reads "You're a space marine, one of Earth's toughest...". Not that anyone will ever actually read this now.
A firewall like Zone Alarm or Tiny Personal Firewall will easily block the ads and render the cydoor stuff useless. Then you can still delete the AdCache folder. I noticed that registry entries will continue to return if you delete them, but then I also noticed that you can change their values to whatever you want and they will stay that way (I set alot of values to 90210:P). Basically, all you need to do is have 3 rules present: 1) Block all TCP out from any port to any address on port 80, 2) allow TCP out from any port to any adress on port 1214, and 3) allow TCP in on port 1214 from any address. I've noticed that some people seem to use ports other than 1214 (1033 is one I've seen - is this a Grokster option?), so you may wish to modify the 2nd one as you see fit, but port 1214 covers 99% of everyone I've seen. With this method, I have a nice blank spot in the bottom left hand corner of my Kazaa window! Note that if you run Kazaa with your firewall disabled, the adcache folder reappears almost instantly, so remember to keep that firewall up.
According to Tom's, increased CPU speed doesn't equal better RDRAM performance at all, and RDRAM does NOT provide more bandwidth than SDRAM (PC-133 SDRAM at that).
"There is no harmony between religion and science. When science was a child, religion sought to strangle it in the cradle. Now that science has attained its youth, and superstition is in its dotage, the trembling, palsied wreck says to the athlete: 'Let us be friends.' It reminds me of the bargain the cock wished to make with the horse: 'Lut us agree not to step on each other's feet.'"
