I've been looking for some good screensavers, but I've not had much luck so far.
Here are some of my favorites
[note: malware'd links removed by mod - jxh]
any others would be greatly appreciated!

Hmm, It's probably a bad idea to try to get people to download trojan horses... Scan all executables you download people, these two are malware.

"probably"??

It's "probably" a bad idea to rape and kill your own daughter, then.

The 'probably' was giving him the benefit of the doubt he didn't know they were Trojans. If he did, then obviously stronger action should be taken.

The chances are most likely zero. And being asked, it's 100% sure he would say he didn't know.

We're really into daughter raping lately, aren't we?

Does anybody even use screensavers anymore? I thought they managed to fix the burn-in problem a couple years ago.

They're a relic of an older technology, but they're still used. Mostly they're nice to look at.

No idea, I turn my monitor off whenever I leave the room/house. Guess I don't see the point in screensavers when I can just do that, at least from a functional standpoint.

CRT's are prone to burn-in (older ones much moreso than newer ones), LCD's are not. So if you have a flat panel monitor you don't need a screensaver. The one thing you need worry about an LCD is the fluorescent back-light burning out, which is why you should turn it off when you leave.

We use screensavers at work to automatically lock after a certain amount of time. At home, I don't use screensavers and just turn off the monitor like jxh2154.

Well you're right that most people don't have to worry about burn-in for LCDs. But something very similar to burn-in can happen to LCDs, but is pretty hard to attain.
