    I call bullshit!
    A lot of places have to go through the same rigmarole you mention but don't have sky high prices.
    Take a restaurant for example. You don't seem meals costing 20,000 dollars do you?

    bah I remember a time when their were no fences around the airport and your parents would park the car on the side of the road and the pilot would wave you to come over so he could show you around the plane while passengers were boarding!

  9. Re:Visual Studio on Ask Slashdot: Best Tools For Dealing With Glare Sensitivity? · · Score: 0

    The problem is not the editor but the window frame and controls, They are still very bright.
    Office has selectable themes but even with a 'dark theme' they are not high contrast compared to a standard high contrast desktop.

  10. Re:LED Screens on Ask Slashdot: Best Tools For Dealing With Glare Sensitivity? · · Score: 0

    Yea everyone that sees my desktop says "what in the world are those colors?" or "what OS are you using?"
    I honestly can't see how people use a white BG. It feels like someone is shining a flashlight in your face.

  11. Re:OS? on Ask Slashdot: Best Tools For Dealing With Glare Sensitivity? · · Score: 0

    Mostly WIN7 and XP. I made a tool that switches between my high contrast colors and a default color scheme so I can read some text that is black on black. But for a lot of apps there is just no winning. It makes me want to bust out a disassembler and alter the colors manually. I figured people out there would have done that for some of the more mainstream apps.

  12. Re:Needs more clarification on Ask Slashdot: Best Tools For Dealing With Glare Sensitivity? · · Score: 0

    With a predominately white background it literally feels like someone is shining a flashlight in my face. I made a tool for windows to switch between my high contrast desktop (green text, black BG and blue controls) and a 'normal' color scheme on the fly when I need to read something. I might give these glasses a try, looks like they could help. I knew a guy at an old job that put a hood over his monitor so he could see it better. A lot of older LCD monitors just dont display well with overhead fluorescent light.

    thats exactly right. I hear that for a lot its simply too expensive to get a divorce haha. I think for most people finding someone to meet those needs are pretty much impossible. Some might have it but its chances are like the lottery. men and womens needs are at opposite ends of the spectrum typically.

    And to add , they probably only restored enuf vision to where all he could see was bright and dark. Probably the equivalent of someone shining a flashlight in your face all day. If it was restored to perfect vision then he would be impressed.
