Read Lifehacker! - Or “copy error messages text to the clipboard”

I highly recommend the no less than amazing site Lifehacker. It contains vast amounts of useful tips, in all shapes and sizes, and carries a name both beautiful and beautifully accurate. A (small) example:

We’ve all gotten error messages in Windows, and we generally all take the same approach to getting to the bottom of the error: by searching the contents of the message in Google. The annoying part of this process has always been that you can’t select and copy text in the error message box, so you have to try manually typing out the error message. But the ChuckOp’s eXPeriences blog points out there’s another, much simpler solution.

Apparently since Windows 2000, you’ve been able to copy the entire error message to your clipboard by hitting the universal copy shortcut, Ctrl-C (who knew?!). That means the whole process of hunting down obscure error messages—especially those containing cryptic error codes—just got a whole lot easier. Thanks Matthew!

“A kludge (or, alternatively, kluge) is a clumsy or inelegant solution to a problem or difficulty. In engineering, a kludge is a workaround, typically using unrelated parts cobbled together. Especially in computer programs, a kludge is often used to fix an unanticipated problem in an earlier kludge; this is essentially a kind of cruft.” - Wikipedia

Jeg har lært hviske-læder-sprog. Det er mit nye yndlingssprog - det er så ærligt. Jeg er også ved at lære stille-sprog, men det er lidt sværere. Jeg er træt af at fiske. Det er totalt sjovere at hviske. Men der er regler…
