What is a blu ray keyboard?
I got stupid. The money was too good.

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!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Our wings are not tired.
Maybe meant Bluetooth?

Bluetooth. Sorry don't use then so don't necessarily remember the name.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
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.

Sublime Text Editor. Was it amych who recommended it here? Anyway, so nice I paid for it, and so nice I'm happy I paid for the per user license (I can install it on as many of my PC and Mac devices as I want). My tough stuff evaluation is that the web dev/Javascript guys up there live inside it. I only scratch the surface.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Anyway, so nice I paid for it
Yep. The demo version doesn't have any functional limits and never runs out, but I eventually got to the point where I really wanted to buy it. It's lovely to feel that way about a tool.
