I'd post mine, but I do not have a way to copy it to windows. Do you know any linux software that will let me copy a file to an ntfs partition? I am on suse.

damn... I am too lazy to ftp it to my host, and i am not about to run apache!

I just describe it. I have this battle ship with the cannons turned firing in one direction and there is a whole butt load of fire and smoke.

I think you _can_, but it's experimental and will likely kill your partition.

upload it to http://www.wolfness.com/upload

I'll upload mine whenever I boot into Linux again, which probably won't be for a few days since everytime I go to get on I end up wanting to game or etc. :(

Yes, that's Gaim.

And here's info on writing ntfs with Linux:
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/

Although I was told that I was wrong that ntfs corrupts a Windows drive, but I figure the guy who told me that doesnt' know what he's talking about :)

Captive NTFS (http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/) will let you do that safely, assuming you're on x86 and have a copy of NTFS.sys somewhere (i.e. a Windows install).

Nope.  On Win32 I've had it crash and lock up a couple times, but never any display issues.  Let's blame Windows and You, instead of Gaim :)

Holy crap... that is extreme. I have my aim buddy icon, and my sig. I do not go as far as the desktop. I had an a10 thunderbolt as my windows wall paper. I like military things because they look cool.

The coolest thing about the a10 thunderbolt is most definately the gun (http://www.military-page.de/waffen/mk/gau8/bild_gau8_02.jpg).

You should see the ac130 specter gunship then. That thing can have howitzers and miniguns. I have seen videos of its rounds raining down on enemy forces.
