I want must have won’t buy one don’t know what do to. Apple strictened the contracts so now you can’t buy and activate the iPhone yourself, but have to buy and activate it in the shop of an official reseller near you. But I want one, I hate my Windows Mobile piece of crap and I must sync with the office’s Exchange server - so there’s not really an alternative. Or I’ll keep my iPod touch, pay that ten bucks for the software update to 2.0 and sync my contacts and calendars that way. Did I mention that I hate my Windows Mobile piece of shit crap?

Apple, I know you don’t consider advices of some Austrian kid, but wouldn’t you make a whole lot more money if you’d sell the iPhone to anyone? Forget those exclusive contracts, they’re so 1990 and give us what we want. iPhone, 16GB, for 200 bucks a piece without the hassle. Maniac said something utterly true about the iPhone:

By the way, iPhones will be sold with exclusive contracts only, it’s dead to me now.

Besides: the apps rock!

And paired your device with that very remote? Then you need to

a) look more closely to find that remote, or

b) take another Apple remote, aim it at your MacBook, Apple TV or whatever and press Menu + Rewind, until you see the icon with the broken chain, this will unpair the lost remote.

To pair that other remote press Menu + Forward, until you see the icon with the intact chain. This information saved me a lot of time and trouble with Sandra, who wasn’t able to watch “The Closer” with the Apple TV

I use the WP-OnlineCounter plugin and widget created by Jan Grewe. And ever since I’ve upgraded to Wordpress 2.5 when opening the “Design” tab and then navigating to “Widgets” I get the following error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_user_ipaddress() (previously declared in /var/www/web169/html/wp-content/plugins/wp-onlinecounter.php:94) in /var/www/web169/html/wp-content/plugins/wp-onlinecounter.php on line 93

I found a quick and dirty workaround for that issue:

1. Open wp-onlinecounter.php in your plugins folder
2. Find the following line of code
   function get_user_ipaddress() {
3. Add the following before
   if(!function_exists(get_useripaddress()) {
4. Close the if-statement right after the closing brackets of get_useripadress()

Should look like this:

if(!function_exists(get_user_ipaddress)) {
function get_user_ipaddress() {
if(empty($_SERVER["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"])) {
$ip_address = $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];
}else{
$ip_address = $_SERVER["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"];
}
if(strpos($ip_address, ‘,’) !== false) {
$ip_address = explode(’,', $ip_address);
$ip_address = $ip_address[0];
}
return $ip_address;
}
}

Dust. Suck it. The Dyson DC20 does it. It is a masterpiece of engineering. If Beethoven didn’t compose music but had been building vacuum cleaners all his life, he would have invented the root cyclone technology for sure. Thank you Mr. Dyson your products do suck!
