They developed a special font which is good readable and reduces ink up to 20%. It is established by small wholes in it. So if you still in the digital time need to print something you know which font to pick now;-) Here you will find more information about it:

I saw on TV a couple of tips today which I want to share with you guys:

1. Get a drink
Fastest method to get a drink is to position yourself somewhere close in front of the bar keeper or where he taps the drinks. Usually screaming or waving your money in a bad position does not help.

2. Cleanest Toilet
If there are three toilets it is scientific proven that most people will choose the toilet in the middle and they think that the first toilet is the dirtiest. But this is not the case. The first toilet is usually the one you should head for;-)

3. Police Control
If the police asked you if you had a drink (alcoholic of course) you should always answer with no. Should you answer with yes they are obligated to do an alcohol test. The good thing is that even if you have lied about it, it is not punishable. At least this counts for the law in Germany/Switzerland.

4. Remove a Stamp
 Steal the stuff from your girlfriend which she uses to remove her nail color. (Acetone)

After a lot of trying I finally got a Techno set together. My mixing style is still not perfect but I still hope you enjoy the music. To download the set right click with the mouse on the tape and choose “Save target as…”. Have fun!

I just installed xampp on my computer today and was not able to start apache. Usually this is the case when port 80 is already used. So how can I find out which process is the suspect?

Netstat will give you a complete list with which process is using which port. So just look up which one is using port 80 and remember the PID.

Replace “1056” with your pid number of course. In my case I found that the criminal was skype.

To remove skype listening on port 80 do following steps:

1. Go to Tools\Options\Advanced\Connections
2. Remove tick  “use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections“
3. Restart Skype

The folder auto-detection in Windows Vista drove me crazy. I like to have the details view for all folders as my default setting.

Important: Before you make any changes in the registry create a System Restore Point.

The following changes in the registry will fix the problem:

FixFolderViewVista.reg

Important: use two “-” before set!

You need two commands to accomplish that.

I spend hours try to find out why I have a lowid in emule. I set port forwarding in my router. Opened the ports in my firewall etc. but I still got a lowid. I scanned with an online portscanner my ports and it told me that it is opened. So what’s the problem?

It wasn’t my settings problem. It’s because there are a lot fake servers in emule and they want to get all the traffic trsough their server. So they don’t allow high ids. After fixing my server list I finally got a high id again;-)

Thanks to this post:
