Make Windows use a realtime clock

First off: Markus Kuhn's classic rant about windows storing the time in local time instead of UTC and why it's dangerous and downright moronic.

Solution:
Create a DWord called RealTimeIsUniversal under

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation

and set it to 1.
Beware that there are issues which Markus Kuhn details and that you should be aware of.

mswin.vim and ctrl-v

I started using vim under windows and the remapping of some keys, most importantly ctrl-v doing pasting instead of vertical selection had me going up the wall.

If you, like me, think the default is moronic, do
:e $MYVIMRC
and comment out the line that reads
source $VIMRUNTIME/mswin.vim

Viele Teile der von mir eigentlich geschätzten Süddeutschen Zeitung sind regelmässig davon bedroht der Feuilletonisierung anheim zu fallen. Das schönste Beispiel jüngster Zeit, die Wochenendbeilage darüber wie förderlich oder schädlich Computer für die kindliche Entwicklung wohl sind. Dies fördert dann Stilblüten wie diese zu Tage:

"Es gibt die Angst, dass das Kind dank des Computer ein sozialer Krüppel wird; welcher Mensch wünscht sich schon, dass sein Kind mal Programmierer wird?"

Da fehlen mir doch die Worte.

Multiple \label error

Package amsmath Error: Multiple \label's: label 'important' will be lost

It took me over an hour because there were a couple of valid causes to this problem and i had a few hunches that were all completely off. This error was caused by an incredible amount of tiredness on my part and the fact that I, in my stupidity, added a label to a ...
tada... align* environment. If you ever have this problem, think about if your environment actually has a tag you can reference!
