Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
When I drop down the list in Play, I get three devices, one named by me. When I look in Device Manager, which I've never been in before (nor granted location permission until now), it shows me four devices, one named.
I'm assuming that after my devices got associated to that email address the name was propagated to both applications, but I certainly didn't set the name there.
There are "modbooks" out there that remove the mac keyboard and replace the screen with a touchscreen. I have no idea how well they work. Presumalby you add a blu-ray keyboard if yo wish.
What is a blu ray keyboard?
Maybe meant Bluetooth?
blue whale?
Bluetooth. Sorry don't use then so don't necessarily remember the name.
Note: I do not have a device name option in Settings/About
When I go to Settings in the Play store, I see a list of my devices and "Edit" buttons next to each one. When I click the Edit button, the names become editable.
Anyone know Ruby? I'm learning it for work, and I can't get a "Hello World" program to work.
My program is:
puts “Hello, Tom!”
And I get this when I run it:
hello.rb:1: syntax error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting keyword_do or '{' or '('
puts “Hello, Tom!”
I'm using the Ruby that came installed in my new Macbook Pro. Perhaps a version or setup issue? The Ruby version is:
ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27 revision 41674) [universal.x86_64-darwin13]
I read that the program file must be ANSI encoded. I'm using TextEdit. I've tried saving the file as Unicode (UTF-8) and Western (Mac OS Roman). Maybe neither of these are ANSI encoded?Maybe I need a better text editor?
eta: Pretty sure it's an encoding issue--maybe TextEdit can't save a text file as ANSI encoded?
eta²: Never mind. I changed the code to singe-quotes and it worked. (The example in my book had double-quotes.)
The quotes in your original quoted example are smartquotes. They probably need to be straight.
Ahh, good catch!
I typed them as straight quotes, but I originally had TextEdit set to default to rich text, so TextEdit must have helpfully "corrected" the quotes for me.
Anyway, I just downloaded TextMate so now I have a decent text editor for programming.
