If you can include it on your weblogs and such in plaintext form, it would be great! If you are using reCAPTCHA, you have to use nohide BBtag. And no, it’s not a real “office” mail, it’s just used for spam filter testing.

Thanks!

this bug will soon celebrate it’s 3rd birthday. it’s marked as confirmed, high importance, and reported upstream (debian). are we going to do something about it, or are we just waiting for debian to resolve this?

(Emphasis added for extra lulz)

Weird!

Recipe:

3 tbsp cream cheese (”A la kajmak” or similar)
3 tbsp yogurt
4 leaves of fresh basil
2 cloves of garlic
salt

Put the cream cheese and yogurt in a cup, cut basil and garlic into very small pieces and add them to the mixture. Stir well. Add salt to taste and spread over some nice wholemeal bread.

Enjoy!

Kako ispraviti? Lako.

1. Prekopirati sa regularnog XP-a (možda bi i w2k poslužio?) fajlove kbdycc.dll i kbdycl.dll iz C:\WINDOWS\system32 foldera
2. Uneti u registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layouts\0000081a]
“Layout Text”=”Serbian (Latin)”
“Layout Display Name”=”@%SystemRoot%\\system32\\input.dll,-5038″
“Layout File”=”KBDYCL.DLL”

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layouts\00000c1a]
“Layout Text”=”Serbian (Cyrillic)”
“Layout Display Name”=”@%SystemRoot%\\system32\\input.dll,-5057″
“Layout File”=”KBDYCC.DLL”

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\Locale]
“0000081a”=”2″
“00000c1a”=”5″
