hey guys...my mom decided to buy me a laptop for a graduation & birthday gift!! i'll post the specs later with pixs, but does anyone know how to increase the contrast on windows vista?
You can try to assign a color profile to the graphics card. Other then that. I don't think there is any other way of changing the contrast natively on windows vista.

Well, today we did basically nothing academic at school whatsoever:

First period is study skills everyday.
Math: Apparently everyone passed the HSPA testing so he gave us a free period.
Physics: Watched a MSNBC movie on rollercoasters.
English: It was just a reading day.
History: We were supposed to have a test today but it was pushed to Monday because of some religious holiday today so we watched a documentary about the '70s.
Spanish: Watched another movie.
I don't have Phys Ed on Fridays so that was just a study hall.
13th period is study skills everyday.

Overall, it was pointless to go to school today.

“This year's hurricane season is different because after June 12th you will not be able to use rabbit ears for your regular TV or portable analog TV in the event you lose your cable or satellite service. How will you get the life saving information you will need during a storm?”

Tell me, why are they doing this DTV switch again? To me it sounds like a big scam to stimulate the economy. I mean, I am all for stimulating the economy, but putting peoples lives in danger? How low can the idiots in Washington go?

Well, One of my cats decided to sleep on my keyboard, and the Windows VIsta beeping noise went off non-stop until just a couple minutes ago, and woke me up early  :angry:
