WHY? WHY ? WHY ? WHY?!!!!!! just to sum it up... TRANSFORMERS IS THE WORST MOVIE EVER MADE IN THE HISTORY OF CINEMA. IF ANOTHER MOVIE IS EVER MADE THAT IS WORSE,.. THAT IS THE SIGN OF THE END OF THE WORLD AND WE SHOULD WELCOME IT JUST SO WE WON'T BE SUBJECT TO A SEQUEL. just tried to watch this movie again, first time i saw it, i was really stoned and a little drunk. thought maybe i was too faded to comprehend what i was watching. my feeling at the end of the movie the first time was, what the fuck did i just watch? why were the lead characters anywhere they were throughout the movie? what was anybody trying to do?why were the robots so hard to watch? how much money was spent on this “movie”? i have always said that harlem nights was the worst movie i’ve ever seen,.. until i watched this piece of dung. like i said, tried to watch it sober, made it 1 hour before i just couldn’t take it anymore. the only reason i made it that far, was for megan fox, unbelievably attractive. i see on the net that there is going to be another movie.

Instread, I resolved the issue by #include-ing the moc-generated file (input: Abc.h; output: moc_Abc.cpp) in the implementation file (moc_Abc.cpp). Not sure if this is obvious, but I didn't see it in the primary Trolltech Qt tutorial example I have been reading. Thanks for the entry.

When you go to deploy your app, localhost:3000 won't work anymore for contacting the Gmail API. You'd need to register your Web Application with Google (this is outlined in the Atlantic Domain Solutions guide). As part of this you are asked to enter a Target URL path prefix (ie. the next parameter used in AuthSub). You should set this to be the path to the above controller action. So, for example, if your web app is lives at http://www.mycoolwebsite.net then the value for the Target URL path prefix should be http://www.mycoolwebsite.net/imported_contacts/authorise Pay particular attention to not forget the 'www' bit if that will be in your URLs!

If you are receviing a “Voice line detected, Trying again ” pop the sim into another phone, and deactivate the PIN request (or add AT+CPIN=NNNN where N=a number in your pin) this had me baffled for a while.

Needless to say o2 BB Support dismissed me the moment I mentioned linux. I have this running on Fedora now.

I've been talking to good folks on the kde-bindings mailing list which handles the Ruby bindings and the problem seems to that an issue arose with the some of the bindings which means that this tutorial will now not work. Basically, I think a regression error crept into the codebase which caused this problem. It should be fixed in the next desktop release - KDE 4.1.1. Just a quick update.
