I recently ran into a submodules issue when trying to deploy a git repo via capistrano. Now have some understanding of git submodules. Defunkt makes it even easier to understand and use submodules with this little write up:

still can’t update Flash

Adobe Updater knows about the CS3 update that adds AIR support to my purchased copy of CS3, but alas, it fails on installing the update. Highly annoying considering how many times the Updater pops up.

Worst. Bug. Ever. | Ed Burnette’s Dev Connection | ZDNet.com

It turns out the bug in Android I wrote about yesterday was worse than we thought. When the phone booted it started up a command shell as root and sent every keystroke you ever typed on the keyboard from then on to that shell. Thus every word you typed, in addition to going to the foreground application would be silently and invisibly interpreted as a command and executed with superuser privileges. Wow

Funny story behind finding this:
I was in the middle of a text conversation with my girl when she asked why I hadn’t responded. I had just rebooted my phone and the first thing I typed was a response to her text which simply stated “Reboot” – which, to my surprise, rebooted my phone.
When I first read this I didn’t believe it. Then I read it again, and again, and finally tried it for myself. It’s true. Don’t believe me? Save anything you’re working on this will reboot your phone, open the keyboard tray on your G1, ignore anything you see on the screen, and type these 8 keystrokes: -r-e-b-o-o-t-. Poof, your phone will reboot. This only works on a real phone, not in the emulator, and only with firmware version 1.0 TC4-RC29 and earlier.
