    It's code. My guess would be a linux kernel source code.

    When you see Linus Torvalds credited in the C style comments:
    /**linux/init/main.c**Copyright(C)1991,1992LinusTorvalds**
    you bet it is the kernel code :D

    Found it with Stumbleupon by 'stumbling' my interests (linux) via the Firefox extension. You find things doing that that you would just never see otherwise. Use it and contribute! A great time waster LOL

    I worked with it for a while and concluded that it was simply not going to work as a wallpaper. :(

    I scaled it down, but it was much higher than wide...

    Haha, that's hilarious, I found it with StumbleUpon too, during the all of 5 minutes that I had it installed. The extension made Firefox lag like hell, so I got rid of it.

    Interesting....I'm using that extension with Flock in Mint KDE, have it set to show up in the status bar at the bottom sans much of the crappola (cleaner) and I really don't know it's there performance wise.

    It might have something to do with the 20 something other extensions I have installed :D

    In any case, I didn't find StumbleUpon all that useful. The sites it redirected me to weren't very good and it seemed like a lot of work ranking sites and all that.
