NGC 5128 is a type E0 peculiar elliptical galaxy that lies some 13 million light-years away in the constellation Centaurus. One of the most luminous and massive galaxies known, it is a strong radio and X-ray source and is one of the most studied objects in the southern sky. The dark, dusty band spanning the galaxy's disk is thought to be the remains of a spiral galaxy NGC 5128 absorbed in the past few billion years. The core of NGC 5128 is the smallest extragalactic radio source known — only 10 light-days across — and probably contains a supermassive black hole with a mass of about 100 million Suns. European Southern Observatory, ESA.

A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

"The captain claimed our people violated a 4,000 year old treaty forbidding us to develop hyperspace technology. Extermination of our planet was the consequence. The subject did not survive interrogation."

"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."- General Sir Charles Napier

Tch, I remember when all those firefox sigs annoyed the shit out of me. I use the browser to be sure, but it seemed like a fad.
I didn't see this though. Anywho, I stumbled upon that by googling 1920x1200 for images one day, like I did today, but I found it neither my old 1920x1200 desktop. [which was a water-paint smudge of a city and a bridge at night]
So I put forward instead my favorite HW2 screenshot adopted to desktop instead. HW2 doesn't have good support for widescreen resolutions, this pick comes out well even at 1920x1200.
Actually, found the old desktop.
Funny pic thrown in for shits and giggles.

Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things... their number is negligible and they are stupid. --Dwight D. Eisenhower

Haven't installed much on this guy and most of the stuff are in the quick launch section.
I should start reading the Horus Heresy series soon...
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."
