yes both would be much better than removing/filtering them:)

I broke the CTRL key on my brand new laptop, damnit. : / No more coding till it's repaired.

there are 2 CTRL keys?

It's barely possible to work code fluently with the left CTRL key. Possible, but very annoying.

I always use the left Ctrl:p

uhm yes, i mean the right one. :p

Plug-in a keyboard to your laptop?

And RB can't you say in MySql

forexample: BrandGFX = Replace(txtBrandGFX, "²", "2")

no, because it's already a f****d up character sequence in the db, something i can't even copy & paste here. : ) I'll figure out sth for the future, but currently it's not a high priority bug because it only causes problems with the X800GTO2, and i found a workaround for that card.


I could plug in another keyb, but the fact remains i will have to return my laptop and miss it for a few days / weeks (fingers crossed).

Dell laptop?

Say that your crtl key is broken. They will come with a new one at your door within a few days. They just want to see if it's really broken. And if you act like a stupid they will replace it for you :D.

I didn't take the full-option warranty, sadly.


Question from a hardware n00b: high end ATI cards have memory running at +- 500mhz, high end NVIDIA videocards at +-1000mhz.

Is ATI advertising real memory speed, while nvidia is doubling it because ddr is twice as effective, or does nvidia really use faster memory? It's frigging annoying for the hwbot.
