Της Πουτανιάς το Ζάρι?

Κάποιος να μου εξηγήσει τι διάολο σημαίνει αυτή η έκφραση!
Κάποιος? Κανένας?

Copy - Paste Blues

Another collegue of mine alerted me to another interesting quirk concerning the windows clipboard: the way text is copied into it, is dependant on the current language setting.

Let me explain:
If you ever tried copy-pasting greek text into Microsoft Word and came out as gibberish, there is a solution. Just switch to greek (usually left alt+ left shift) and try copy-pasting again. Greek will appear correctly this time...

Control+C in System Dialogs

After nearly 10 years of using windows, a collegue of mine introduced me to a little secret knowledge that I couldn't believe I had passed by...
When a system dialog pops up (the ones with a message and an ok/cancel button)
you can press Control+C and copy their FULL contents (title, message and button text) to the clipboard as text... go figure...
This one is gonna save me a lot of time...

Eurotrip

I never thought I'd be writting about a teen movie, but this one was really funny. Great cameo appearances by Matt Damon, Vinnie Jones, Lucy Lawless and others. Great soundtrack with Scotty Doesn't Know and Morning Train being the most catchy...
Check it out...

5Nov@Figaro - Revisited

I just posted an updated version of the Figaro thread. This one contains all 143 messages from November first to November sixth. You can download it here.

InGrDirect (tm) 0.7

Here's an early version of a little utility that directly queries In.Gr's online translation service and shows the results in an internet explorer window.

Muchos Gracias to Mr. Fotinakis for a wonderful suggestion for a utility.

This is just an early test version, so forgive the limited functionality.
I'm open to suggestions, though.

Google Desktop Search Plus

A note of interest about GDS: it automaticaly indexes .c and .h files. I guess the boys at google code in c and wanted to use their own tool to find content within their source... but what about us Delphi Devs?

Can the engine be modified for .pas and .dfm files? after all, they are just text...
Still waiting for an answer from google on this one. Meanwhile, you can try this (www.trivex.net) unofficial patch for GDS that allows the user to add all text extensions he wants (xml, vb, js, java, inc, pas, dfm, the works).

It works amazingly well.

(for those of you who haven't tried Google Desktop Search yet, download the official version here)

www.symbols.com

Quite accidentally, I discovered this site: www.symbols.com
It's an online encyclopedia of signs and symbols used in all of history of mankind. Quite an amazing collection, cross referenced and with analytical articles about each one...
You could try this one for starters...
