Since a few weeks Silverlight drives me crazy. It crashes Google’s Chrome bigtime.
I was searching for disabling it, but no success. Still searching…
Meanwhile I found some “about:” pages for Chrome.
The nicest one is “about:internets”. Yes… It made of tubes 😀
Update: I found a solution. Add/Remove Programs -> Microsoft Silverlight -> Uninstall. Sayonara!
We wanted today the the RichEdit box where the license and the readme is displayed is a little bit wider.
The only hack we found was to play low-level with Inno Setup’s WizardForm controls.
It is a little bit messy, but at least it works. The idea is to resize the parent of the TRichEditViewer relative to the width of the entire form and just for the License and Readme screens.
Here is the code you need to paste in the [Code] area of Inno Setup script.
If you have better idea let me know.

I was trying today to search a tool or something that calculates the shortest distance between two points on Earth.
My first thought was to google for it (as usual), but since there was some noise a while ago about Wolfram|Alpha I jump there for a search.
I’ve typed in:Â shortest path between two points on a sphere
and I got “Wolfram|Alpha isn’t sure what to do with your input.” and Wolfram|Alpha sent me to the mathematical model of the Sphere.
Then I googled the same phrase
First hit sends me to a Mathematica applet (a product of Wolfram). So, google knows much more about Wolfram that Wolfram itself.
The second link was an interactive web based Google Map, very easy to use wich gave me the exact response I’ve searched.
I know that Wolfram|Alpha is not a search engine and is maybe in Alpha state, but if it fails giving me responses on basic geometry questions then what the hell it is?
Hype?!

Since a year or so, in Karlsruhe we have a service from Deutsche Bahn. You can get a ride with a bike if you call a number. When you finish, you need to let it somewhere in a corner of a street so, other can take it. A few days ago I saw this bike in Durlach (Karlsruhe). Was trown over a bridge by some idiots. Now it rests under the water.
Here is a comparision for “microsoft sucks” on both Bing and Google.
Bing.com 1st item:
“First of all, the title “Microsoft Sucks!” is not an intelligent comment” from www.tech-archive.net
Google.com 1st item:
“why does microsoft suck?” from microsoftsucks.org
I’ve been adding to the Talking Pixels application a real-time motion detection algorithm.
You add an area, you set the motion sensor sensibility and then you assign a script. Here are some examples with basic midi commands.
