DVI Pin 14 is shorter than others

I've been wondering about this and wanting to check this out. Wiki clearly clarified this for me.

Note also that on the male DVI connector, pin 14 (+5 volts) is shorter than the other pins. This is intended to ensure that this is the last contact to mate when inserting a plug.

Make keyboard on PC behave like Mac

PC keyboard has Alt key next to Space key while on Mac you have Command key next to it. On Mac you would do Command+Space to change language and Command+C, Command+V for Copy and Paste respectively. The easy and clean way to make PC keyboard having this behaviour is by using the free AutoHotKey tool. With the tool installed, you would create an .ahk file and run it to map the key combinations according to the content in the file. In my case, this is what I put in .ahk file !c::Send, ^c !v::Send, ^v !space UP::Send #{Space} Return !c is Alt+C which I will send ^c or Ctrl+C. The # is Windows key

Cannot Run eFilmLt.exe from CD

Found the solutions from this blog  http://blog.echothis.com/2009/04/02/reading-ct-scans-with-efilmltexe-on-vista/ Reading CT scans with eFilmLT.exe on Vista A bit off-topic but I thought I’d share. A friend of mine had this CT scan on CD and was having trouble reading it on his PC (sometimes it worked, sometimes not). And simply copying it to his hard disk enabled it unreadable. So I offered to debug why, and lo and behold, a quick Google search shows that lots of other people have reported similar problems (e.g., see  here ). It seems that this proprietary reader (eFilmLT.exe), made by Merge Software, looks for a valid binary “DICOMDIR” file that points to the metadata for the particular scan images on the CD (e.g., the patient name, date taken, image filenames, etc.). Why this isn’t a human-readable format like XML, I have no idea. Anyway, if you have a set of images that you can’t read: copy them to your hard disk download the attached zipfile, which contains al...
