At the moment, I only have my alarm clock with large green numbers. I absolutely love it.

Soon enough, I'll have my TV and laptop at least set up in there too, and my laptop only has white/dull blue-ish lights on it so that's not much of a problem. And I think my TV has either a red or blue LED in it.

Probably if I ever get my own place, all of that will stay out of my room except my alarm, maybe TV, and netbook.

I guess it will show my age, but when I was a kid blue LEDs didn't even exist. There were only red, green and orange (red+green) LEDs available.

Blue LEDS only started to be mass produced in the mid-90s, which is after the Virtual Boy was released (there was no way to have a full-color display using LEDs at the time).

While many of you kids have seen blue ones since like forever, it was a novelty thing for older folks, and that's in part why companies started to use them everywhere (because it felt new and futuristic).

Blue LEDs are indeed an order of magnitude brighter than the red and green ones and I agree that they can be annoying!

Yeah, it's weird to think that the blue LED is a fairly recent invention.

Even today, red/orange/green digital signs are still extremely common...

Yeah, I'm used to there only being red and green ones. In fact all my equipment except for the Wii uses red and green ones.

I guess I just like to perpetuate my preference for older styled stuff, since there were plenty of blue-LED things but they all turned me off.

It's kind of a weird thing for me, but I guess a certain type or wavelength of blue LEDs look very weird to me when I look at them. They look very blurry even though the rest of my vision is clear. Luckily none of the blue LEDs I have in my room do that, so I'm guessing that it's a different kind of light technology altogether doing that.

But yeah if they put that blurry crap on any more signs and stuff I am going to start breaking kneecaps.

Well, blue is the color that human eyes are the least sensitive to...

The odd thing is blue is my favorite color, but blue LEDs suck as far as I'm concerned.

I don't particularly dislike the blue LEDs.

Although they are incredibly bright (one device I own has a lot of blue LEDs that really brightens up the whole room when connected), I don't have a problem with them even while sleeping.

I do kinda wish that they weren't so bright sometimes.

My new Printer has some of those hideous blue LEDs on it, but luckily it turns off real easily.

It also doesn't support Windows XP x64, for absolutely no reason.

Does it think all x64 OSes are Vista or 7 maybe? That happens a lot, forgetting all about XP x64 ;P

Sadly, it's worse than that. See, I can make those run by faking out what OS it's on. This is an installer that very specifically detects Windows XP x64 and goes "No way."

Hm, what happens if you press the A, B, and C buttons all at once?

Compatibility mode doesn't work at all? Try installing in an XP 32-bit VM and then copying over to 64-bit if that'll work for whatever program

I'm pretty sure 32-bit printer drivers won't work on 64-bit Windows.

Have you tried ripping apart the installer using 7-zip?

Ah, it's a driver and not a software program... in that case, if there's no 64-bit driver for XP x64, would one for Vista or 7 work?

Didn't Vista change the Windows driver model?

Vista completely changed it. Vista/Win7 drivers WILL NOT work for Xp.

Yeah. XP x64 drivers exist in a bizarre netherworld, where they use the old driver model but it's 64-bit.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
