...when I was a boy scout I learned that red light is the least damaging to your night vision. Perhaps a red text on black background scheme may work well for you (reducing the intensity of the light coming from your screen and limiting it to the least damaging colors), YMMV. Also low ambient light like the torch style (upward facing) lamps that illuminate a room more from diffusion should work good. I use a little program for my MacBook Pro called Nocturne that helps with the color changing and is quite handy and can be personalized quite easily.
...all you need to do is figure out which file is your cached video and give it the FLV extension. I do this already with my favorite videos, using Perian codec suite and Quicktime to convert from Flash Video (FLV). What's the big whoop?
Its not that interesting dating someone who believes the same things you do, it gets old fast.
Astrology is not what you read in the paper either. What you read about in the papers and magazines is limited, for the most part, to sun-sign astrology (I like to think of it as bubblegum astrology). There are eight more planets plus other interesting astronomical features that help to differentiate every single person (yes even identical twins) from everyone else. There is a lot of math behind the scenes. I programmed my TI-85 calculator to determine Placidus house cusps over 12 years ago based on where and when a person was born. It involved calculus and factored in the distortion of the sky due to differences in the shape of the atmosphere at different places on Earth.
I have enjoyed astrology in my life as a hobby, and never "believed" in it as a science or a religion. Just like knowing a bit about someone's past can help you gain perspective on who they have become today, I feel astrology can serve as a useful barometer on personality. Since so many factors contribute to each person's astrological makeup, there's no way, I believe, you can pigeonhole people based on this information; or for that matter predict their actions. People who do are no different than those who say all techies are pale-skinned geeks with pot-bellies and receding hairlines.
