Comment on JSONP in Rails 3 by jävi

I had problems because Rails 3 ajax request (with Jquery) were expecting a JSONP response, making the browser to throw an error if normal JSON was received. This solved my problem.

Thanks for sharing the line.

Well, it’s been a long time since I wrote this post. I’m sure a bunch has changed.

Comment on Linux (Kubuntu) vs Windows XP vs OS X by Andrew

I smell mac fanboyism, and I’m writing this from a Mac.

Windows is not old and crusty, most of OSX that isn’t stolen from FOSS (Linux) or Windows is older and crustier. (HFS, PostScript based rendering, Finder, neXTstep).

99% of Mac apps will not install correctly if you just drag to applications, you have to use an installer.

When my Mac Pro mouse broke, i managed to buy 4 laser mice that all wouldn’t work with my Mac, I ended up dropping $60 on a Razer just because I knew it would work. You really dont emphasize that, ‘if its supported’ line enough.

Finally you forget to mention customizability. Windows is infinitely tweakable, you can scale Win7 down to a Win98 lookalike that will eat any other OS for breakfast when it comes to speed, and you probably can with linux, although I daresay it’ll take a lot more skill to. With mac this is impossible, not only do you get hugely memory hogging but pretty visuals, you dont get the option to turn them off! This is perhaps my biggest gripe about my OS.

I’m having the same problem. I get errors with the ‘dummy’ incoming server.

Used this method on my new iphone 4 and it works (thanks!) but get errors everytime I open mail that the mail server h (the alias mail server) “Cannot Get Mail.” Of course it’s not because its not a valid server. As noted before from other iphone 4 users, you can remove the one letter later.

Any suggestions from anyone as to how to stop the errors? It’s better than not having the alias’ but kind of annoying.

@Ed

Hmm, maybe try putting the actual server there?

@ Kevin it won’t let me delete the character. There is a grey “Required.” Unlike Chey it does give me an error each time I click mail. Suggestions?

Thanks!

This worked great. Thank you for the well written instructions. One caveat…on the iPhone 4 I couldn’t delete the single characters I put in the incoming mail option, but it doesn’t show any errors or issues so no big deal.
