Alt Gr
just wanting to share: i just found out that holding Alt Gr and then scrolling will adjust the size of this (any) site. pro tip: start surfing with a 1 year old on your lap, since they will mash all kinds of buttons on your keyboard while you're scrolling and you'll end up a tiny bit wiser.

Re: Alt Gr
What's Gr? At least on American keyboards (the most important kind), hodling down control and scrolling your mousewheel will resize text. I presume we're talking about the same thing.
Some other stuff....
Ctrl-F4 will close a tab in a browser (Firefox, I'm sure it's the same for the other ones) Ctrl-tab will switch to the next tab... ctrl-shift-tab the previous Windows key + r will bring up the run menu Windows key + e will bring up a windows explorer window ctrl + shift + escape will bring up the task manager alt-tab will switch between applications (hopefully everyone knows this one)
in Windows 7: windows key-tab will also switch between apps, but with a much cooler interface (hold down the windows key) windows key + left arrow will put your current window on the left half of the screen windows key + right arrow will put it on the right windows key + up arrow will maximize it those three are equivalent to dragging your window there
that's probably enough for now. This kinda stuff makes me significantly more efficient at my job. :p

Re: Alt Gr
weird. Does that one behave differently than the other alt? On our keyboards, that's just another alt key, just like you have shift and control keys on both sides.

Re: Alt Gr

Re: Alt Gr
Not really. In my language I don't know any original words beginning with a W C Z or Ž. We have ö,ü,õ and ä. ö sound like the part right after b in birthday. ü sounds like the part after s in syringe. ä sounds like the beginning of @. Don't know any words at the moment that would give a good example how õ sounds.
This is how our alphabet looks like. No cyrillic or shit like that.

Re: Alt Gr
Yea, that's really not so bizarre. It's still recognizably roman. It's when you start getting into characters like Arabic, Russian or Chinese or something that I get intimidated.

Re: Alt Gr
Some funny words in my language:
Jää'äärne - next to the edge of the ice. I inserted a ' where when spoken the person would make a very tiny pause, well its not exactly a pause but rather a change in intonation. Kuulilennuteetunneliluuk - reads exactly the same from front to back and back to front again. The sentence itself makes no sense though, it would mean something along the line of 'the hatch of the bullet flightpath tunnel'

Re: Alt Gr
Hehehe. Czech has the (semi-nonsense) sentence "strc prst skrz krk" which doesn't feature any vowels http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Str%C4%8D_prst_skrz_krk
