Initial idea was just to store things I had trouble with and found a solution. So I don’t have to use Google or any other search engine.

I have to say I am also quite surprised that the PHPList Hack is since years the most popular one I have wrote. Seems like the system is used widely but not as open as expected.

Also one of my favorite posts is the one about SLES 10 sucks. Especially the comments section is fun.

Lets see what the next years will bring.

I found a solution here.

Goto the file ModuleInstall/PackageManager/PackageManager.php and edit line 668.

change:

$target_manifest = remove_file_extension( $upgrade_content ) . '-manifest.php';

to:

$target_manifest = UploadFile::realpath(remove_file_extension( $upgrade_content ) . '-manifest.php');


There is a simple solution for that. Just add the following line to the bash / shell you want to do the copy from.

shopt -s dotglob

This sets kind of a “global / all files”.

I have submitted four apps within the last three months and in general there was a waiting time of one week.
Honestly this is a hard time for a developer. In some cases (2 out of 4) Apple decided not to approve the app and rejected it.

I wonder how long this takes for the Google Android market.

After three months and two more versions of Lion there is still no solution. The guy from Apple never called back and never replied to my email.

I see this problem on all Macs running Lion in my company. So this is not my machine.

Apple support was one of the best in the industry for many years. Today it is just like the rest of the support hotlines. It takes hours to explain and it gets never solved.

Thanks! I liked Snow Leopard better because it actually worked!
Do I have to move back to a PC? After all these years?

Android Version 1.0 was bound to a Gmail account. Means you had to have a Gmail account to get your contacts and mails. There was no POP3 or IMAP client pre-installed and I would doubt there was one on day one. You had to save everything in the cloud. Not optional, you had to!

People are often say that the platform that Apple provides is under total control of Apple. That is true and it is not always good, but on the other side, it gives you the safety that an app is not doing anything dodgy with your contacts, SMS application or anything else. This has been seen within the Android eco system quite a lot within the last months.

Here are a few examples:

And to bring it down to the point – if you want to run stuff that is not in the iTunes store on your iPhone just UNLOCK the damn thing!

Back to the release cycle

To be honest they pretty fast release new versions, which is from one view very impressive, but if you read this really good article at “the understatement” you will pretty soon realize that this is Androids biggest problem!
Apple always at least supported their hardware from the OS perspective at least for 3 years. Means a phone that is 3 years old (iPhone 3GS) is able to run iOS 5, which is while I am writing this, the current OS version of Apple.

If you look at the graph you will see that basically every Android phone sold is already out dated the moment you buy it.

I think this pretty much nails it down!

Buying a phone that is already out dated and rebuying a new one, just because the OS is not providing the latest features or having support for at least 3 years!

His release not for 0.2 can he found here.

Thank you Linus for starting with Linux and thank you to everyone who participated in creating a free and super stable operating system within the last 20 years. Awesome job and keep doing what you are doing!

Happy birthday Linux!

It is basically buying display inventory based on algorithms and target user thru that. All is happening in real time and every agency has to send a bid.

There is now an open standard for this called Open RTB.
