Visual Studio 2010 regexp replace decimal delimiter

I had to replace decimal delimiter using Visual Studio 2010’s regular expression built-in mechanism – i.e. “ctrl+h” or ‘find and replace’ option.

The idea was to replace tags in XML:
<value>17,1</value>

with:
<value>17.1</value>

I ended up using “tagged expressions” or “back references” in regexp which IS supported by VS built-in regex. To enter a back reference you simply use \1 (for the first back reference) and tag references by surrounding them with {} braces.

Find what:
\<value\>{-*}{[0-9]+},{[0-9]+}\</value\>

Replace with:
\<value\>\1\2.\3\</value\>

Possible minus sign is the first back reference, digits before coma are the second reference and digits after coma are the third reference.

With Android 4.0 the option to mount you phone memory and external SD card as drives in Windows just disappeared.

Fortunately on a rooted Android ICS phone you can still do that by installing this application:

Android 4.0.3 XXLPQ Screen timeout bug

I had an issue with my Android ICS 4.0.3 XXLPQ ROM.
The problem was that the screen did NOT turn itself off after a defined period of time so when
I received an sms or a call the screen remained lit till the time I actually came and turn it off manually.
It was annoying and drained the battery.

I turned out that it was a kernel problem. Updating the kernel to speedmod-kernel-s2 worked like a charm
and resolved my issue. It's supposed to be faster than the stock kernel but what I really cared about was
screen backlight timeout bug.
