Dinner during the Super Bowel? Have you no faith? You know, you have to eat Super Bowel endorsed food with the pre-requisite amount of HFCS, Trans-Fats, and high sodium foods.
You all have to root for the Packers so that the economy is strong

If the Steelers win, our economy will grow less than if the Packers win.Quote:
When I was in school during an Economics lesson, I distinctly remember the professor talking about something called the Super Bowl effect. Basically, it goes like this. If a team from the AFC wins the Super Bowl, the national economy will do bad. If a team from the NFC wins the Super Bowl, the national economy will do great. He said there wasn't much proof either way, but in for many of the years of the Super Bowl being played, it was more or less true.
You all have to root for my Packers
Yep, and yer gonna need some super bowels to handle it all! ;)Quote:

Feeling good Billy Ray :-)
EXCELLENT! I was wondering if you would catch that!!
Great movie. TURN THOSE MACHINES BACK ON!
The economy is saved, the Packers have won.
Oh yeah, baby! *high fives Swampy*
I simply love the look of this new black dress, it's easy on the eyes ...... matches my black and white avatar quite well! Thanks Alex
Looks good.
Silent Country is back in black!
Glad you like it. For those that want the white you can still select the default choice in styles and it will go back to white for you :-)Quote:

Me too. The white text on black thing really doesn't work for these eyes. Nice there's an option!Quote:

Actually the white text on black eyes is a very nice reprieve for these eyes. Too much brightness tends to give me a headache. Thanks for this option!
And, like 'they' say, it uses less energy to paint a black screen.
That's only true of the whatchamacallit old screens. The digital flats now actual use an itty-bit More when they're black. It's enough to make a difference on a laptop battery.Quote:

I don't really have a problem with the white on black except for the jarring contrast when switching to another web site from here. Going from one to the other makes my eyes hurt. It's one of those things where if every site did it there would be no problem. As it is...
I still find it difficult to believe the extent to which I have taken professional sports out of my life. I didn't even know who was playing in the Stupid Bowl. There was a time when sports was the oxygen that I breathed. I guess we can change.
Black text on white backgrounds generally are thought to increase legibility in the text. This is a hold over from printing.
White text on black backgrounds are thought to cause ghosting for some people around the text. White is more likely to halo that black even if the contrast ratio is the same.
i try to look for light type on dark gray backgrounds. Instead of full white on full black.
While legibility may be slightly reduced (that's debatable), i know that the decrease in the screen brightness causes less eye strain for me. ESPECIALLY in a dimly lit room.
But in either case, I always try to have at least one of each to accommodate everyone.
