If you prick us do we not bleed? If you tickle us do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us shall we not revenge?
William Shakespeare

There are minds so impatient of inferiority that their gratitude is a species of revenge, and they return benefits, not because recompense is a pleasure, but because obligation is a pain.
Samuel Johnson

Revenge is an act of passion; vengeance of justice. Injuries are revenged; crimes are avenged.
Samuel Johnson

What I do, I do not because your actions have endeared you to me, nor because your actions have enraged me. What I do, I do because I hold to the concept of retribution. I act because you have earned it thus, and not for any petty emotions.

Our desire to care, nurture or love only enhances our propensity to harm.

So what does that mean? We shouldn't care?

In some cases, yes.

DEATH be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not so,
For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee, 5
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee doe goe,
Rest of their bones, and soules deliverie.
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poyson, warre, and sicknesse dwell, 10
And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well,
And better then thy stroake; why swell'st thou then;
One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.



John Donne

Vista Projector Problems - insprion640m

Vista has multiple issues with projectors, for some it cant display anything at all, in others it displays distorted colors.

I searched online to find a fix-it, but was unable to find anything useful. Many suggested updating video drivers etc.. which that really does nothing for this problem. So i decided to try and fix it myself. The following details how to fix minor distortions..

Alot of Dell's vista models have a tendency of reseting the resolution after hibernating/sleeping which screws up icon arrangement. Not a major problem, however it is related to the reason why projectors get screwed up with vista.

When a projector or secondary monitor is plugged in with a dell notebook, it resets resolution and color quality. The easy solution is just to right click>graphic properties>display settings> and adjust the color quality & resolution. For projectors: 32bits for color & a resolution of 1024x768 seems to look the best. Assuming you don't replug ur secondary display devices too often, this shouldn't proove too taxing.
