Oh, fuck off. That was one joke. Pesh had much more than one joke.

I might pin that up in my cube at work.
One of these days my desk is going to collapse in the middle and all its weight will come down on my knee and tear my new fake ACL. It could be tomorrow. This is my concern.
Yay debian! Finally no windoze! (still have to run MATLAB through vmware, though )
But MATLAB for Linux is totally for rizzle! (I mean, unless it's just a matter that you have a valid license for Windows and not Linux, which is understandable. I never bothered getting MATLAB... octave, with the help of gnuplot, made nicer looking graphs)

I agree with OmnipotentEntity though, that would be a cool picture to have
Yes. It is Kazu Kibuishi's "Passing Ships". Something to note, there is a link to XKCD on Kazu's website, Boltcity.com. The picture is part of a larger collection. I think it's some sort of book or gallery or something he and some other artists did recently called "Flight".

There's actually three Flight books, and I the fourth is in pre-order. If you're at all interested in comics you should pick one of them up. I have the first and third, and they're both sublime.
They're anthologies of comics from artists who got their start on the internet. People like Vera Brosgol and Kazu Kibuishi and Derek Kirk Kim and Kean Soo. If you've never heard of any of them, thats because they're all criminally underappreciated, and also they don't usually update their online comics nearly enough.
But the Flight books... oh, god. The colors are exactly like in that picture. They leap off the page and beat you about the head with raw awesome. Go now! Buy one!

Ya, if I had a Linux license, all would be right in the world. I prefer octave as well, but I am sort of taking a MATLAB class, so I don't think it would turn out so well if I turned in octave code.
Until three minutes ago my desktop was the 90's flowchart (should that apostrophe be there?), but now it's Framling's fabulous NASA Hubble images, although they don't fit properly. Beautiful pictures, though.
There are loads of cool images here that I want to use!

It's the XMing icon too, which is what I use with putty for sshing into the server where I do all of my computer science stuff. Because I really don't like to be in the lab.
You should. It's a cute picture.
Yes. That's why I'm embarrassed. I feel too cutesy. You don't see the bf with this as his background pic.

Also, what window decs are you using? Is that CrystalGL? (I tried that one. It didn't play nice with the transparency-patched konsole; i.e. complete xorg lockups)
I'm not sure if I posted this already, but here's my wallpaper (and quite often my desktop, considering that my only panel is set to autohide). I've used numerous desktop wallpapers, but I've never found any quite as satisfactory as this one.
This one, however, comes pretty close, and I use it on workspace #2:

There's some pretty good Flickr groups for desktops. I found a search engine for them, but it seems to have gone offline since I last used to find my robot friend.

Not to nitpick, but thats from Hackers. The Gibson is the giant 3D super amazing computer machine that the bored high school kids can completely take control of.

My somewhat cluttered desktop. I like to have things easily accessible (I like to have all of my windows down most of the time so that I don't get distracted as easily). I dislike it when I see "utorrent" on desktops. It should be µtorrent, hence microtorrent. Eh, just a small thing really.
Edit: In case you're wondering why StarCraft says "Mount First," that's because my CD drive doesn't actually open at all, so I downloaded SC and use PowerISO to make it seem like a program is in the CD drive ("mount" it on the drive, I know some of you know this) so I'm able to play still The message is a reminder for me to mount it.
I like to keep my dektop icon-free as much as possible and i have a handy pop-up menu for all my games.
