[ubuntu-uk] Blue tint on screen?

[Tyler J. Wagner]

Sounds like the red signal is bad. You'll get the same effect if you bend that 
pin on a VGA cable.

"In a society in which there is no law, and in theory no compulsion,
the only arbiter of behaviour is public opinion. But public opinion,
because of the tremendous urge to conformity in gregarious animals, is
less tolerant than any system of law. When human beings are governed
by 'thou shalt not', the individual can practise a certain amount of
eccentricity: when they are supposedly governed by 'love' or 'reason',
he is under continuous pressure to make him behave and think in exactly
the same way as everyone else."
