I like the term "uber-hacker". I think I'll have business cards printed up with that on it... Tongue

German is so funny, its like an Englishman got drunk very badly and created a new language, it sounds so like English, or maybe it was a drunk German and English sounds like German Wink

I took German and French at school.

Um die ecke is "around the corner" AFAIK

Uber is under isn't it?....under-hacker?

it's über, not uber (ALT-129, for those of us with strange keybords). means over, above or things similar to that, depending on context.

Does it still work in Windows?

Keep alt down and type the numbers sequentially. If you go to windows and charmap, you can see all the characters you have access to. (click on the char to see it's alt-number)

It's an old dos trick. (we used to make directories that were ALT-255 since it would produce a blank character... and very few people knew how to access them from the prompt)

You know, I remember that old dos trick!

But I can't get the alt thing to work in windows.

yeah, I have this w2k box at home (where I am right now, and it works), and it works. Though I have to test all number from about 120 to 140 because I don't remember them when I need them...

Oh right, the handlers live in the bios don't they? Angelic

It's going to be a mess with certain companies pushing their foreign character domain names. Imagine trying to tell someone how to email you :p

I can't do this either, with my speakers on pressing any keys with alt held down gives that pong sound.

You have to use the number keys on the keypad, not the ones above your letters.

There's a bit of a delay...

Ah, fun with ASCII!!! I remember running a BBS back in the day, and creating menus in ASCII and ANSI... Now, that was fun.
