Guys, I'm curious about your opinion on http://www.stereopsis.com/flux/
Download and install it when using only indoor lights (i.e. pitch black outside) and give it a click on the 'timeline screen' to cycle through a 24 hour preview. I found the difference quite stunning (and a lot easier on the eyes).

Sort of a lighter, softer, gentler colour now. You're right, it is nicer on the eyes.

I've used that before :yep: You really notice the difference when you disable it for an hour and it goes back to normal brightness :headfire:

I've been using it for a while now. :smile: Makes my screens a lot more pleasant to look at, but I have to remember to disable it if I'm doing any Photoshop work. :p:

Somehow, 1.5GB of RAM is a reasonable amount to consume when transferring 100MB of ebooks via itunes :colonhash:
I don't even understand how that's possible.
Worth noting that it didn't even finish - it just threw up an error message and died after consuming all physical memory on my laptop.

I hate iTunes. Horrible program. I never sync the iPhone to it unless it's absolutely necessary. :rant:
:ditto:

iTunes makes my blood boil. I made the biggest mistake of my life when I checked the 'Manually Manage Music and Video' box. Now, it suddenly decided that it would uncheck the 'Manually manage...' box, I can't add any content to my iPhone without erasing all content on it first. :colonhash:

Those two names in the same sentence makes me a mite uneasy.

If it hasn't improved in 4 years (compare post dates), perhaps one should look into alternative distros :mmm:

Well, sometimes people come back and just want a new start. Some people make a new account, even though if they kept their account they would be tsr elite.

Bringing a 17" laptop to university is a pain. Too big and bulky. Recently, I've found myself eyeing up those 13" white MacBooks people have, their lack of noise when typing, screen size and their portability. Jealous. :ashamed:

At least you have a functioning machine of your own!! I'm having to use a University supplied machine that I can't do anything to :frown:

That said, a TouchSmart laptop for a couple of things should be coming through DSA, and my current laptop is being given one last chance before I scrap it and get a desktop, because if it works and lasts a little it means I can get a better deal on the Sandy Bridge rig that'll replace it.

Never buy from pcspecialist.co.uk. Aftercare is appalling, and build quality is useless

but if you want a highly priced 13" you could get a thinkpad, which would double up as a snow sledge/offensive weapon/hammer/coffee strainer and you can take it with you into space should you ever happen to become an astronaut.

although I've only got a little netbook/netvertable and my desktop atm, my sister is borrowing my laptop (its a bit on the heavy/large side so I never really took it anywhere, however it is far nicer to program on than my netbook, 1024x600 is inhumane).

I've got a good little laptop along with my desktop.

My laptop is a 15.6" HP G61. Technically it is my wifes, but I use it enough. It was fairly cheap and does remarkably well for itself, given that it was only £400. it manages to run sims 3 without issue and that's on intergrated graphics.

My desktop is a custom build which is now around 3 and a half years old, but is still ticking over well enough.

You are nothing to me now... :sigh:

X-series Thinkpad. Surely?
