then this may as well be the case that you are not connected to the power-outlet and running on battery and have not the the needed flag.

If you try -batteryallowed (this means: hdiutil compact my-sparse-image-can-also-be-encrypted.dmg -batteryallowed), then you might be more lucky and it may work. Did for me.

If you don’t see it in the AppStore, the only place where it is available on the internet (legally) right now, don’t be upset and click this link (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/os-x-lion/id444303913?mt=12) which will take you to Apple’s official page. Then proceed from there – it will then, after a click on the 29,99 (or whatever it costs in your local currency), open in the AppStore, where you can continue with the buying process and then start downloading.

I am doing it right now – some 3 GB to go.

Google+ invites received – first wave of 8 x 30 invites send to my friendly commenters
Celebrating 380+ comments*
More than 160+ people have received their Google+ invite from this site
The first wave has rolled in, so the the spreading has begun

If nothing has come through, be sure to check your Spam/Junk Folder (my Google+ invite was in the Junk folder, just saying…)

Let’s just pretend Google Buzz was not a complete fail a couple of months ago and that privacy was a huge issue -
Google has made a strong comeback with its new service “Google+” (Google Plus), which it announced just today. Google Plus aims, without a doubt, at eating into Facebook’s social network shares. With its (Google’s) usual system of “beta invites only” it is, as usual, creating a lot of anticipation for their new service. I remember when Google released Google Wave and Google buzz – same thing – everyone wanted to get invites, but barely anyone had them. Then, after some time, everyone had invites and it was not hard at all to get hold of an invite.

Checkout a demo of Goolge+ here at http://www.google.com/+/demo/

Please do not put your email address in the comment field, as this will expose it to spammers, I can simply take your contact details from within WordPress – more secure and convenient.

P.S. now my fingers hurt – copy & pasting 265++ email addresses, confirming, closing tabs… weee
*half are my replies, but still a lot for less than 24 hours, rght?

Have received an invite, but nothing is working?
Does your screen look similar to this ?
–> Google has run out of capacity for today, but your invite was sent successfully, try tomorrow, you may then be able to access Google+ without a problem. The hard part, securing an invite, is already done.

Jump to comment field to request an invite – please don’t put your email in the comment field – we don’t want people to spam you, right?

Update: 19th July All is working just fine. You may continue to request invites.

By now you have researched on Google how to get this mission and you have launched the mission “Media Blitz” and directed the Odin to the bottom right map corner and destroyed the building (looks like science building from Starcraft 1). Then you have picked up the documents and it reads “Secret found” – however, some 20 minutes later you have finished the map and it turns out that you cannot access the secret mission! What gives? Apparently when you have completed the campaign already the secret mission does not show. Here is how to fix this situation: as I have just done it and provide you with the screenshots, you can be assured that it DID work. If it does not work for you, then it either something went wrong or you are loading the wrong savegame/mixed something up.

This how-to is for Mac (OS X, Snow Leopard, 10.6) only, but I am quite sure something similar exists for Windows (PC):

1. Go to the folder /Users/MAC USERNAME/Documents/Blizzard/StarCraft%20II/Accounts/RANDOM NUMBER/ANOTHER RANDOM NUMBER/Saves/Unsaved/

2. Scroll down until you find one of the media blitz save games.

3. Copy it

4. Go to /Users/MAC USERNAME/Documents/Blizzard/StarCraft%20II/Accounts/RANDOM NUMBER/ANOTHER RANDOM NUMBER/Saves/Campaign/

5. Paste the file

6. Open SC2

7. Load the save file you just copied over from the CAMPAIGN tab, nothing else – make a mental note of the time (so you dont end up opening the wrong file).

8. Play the level “Media Blitz” again to get the secret documents.

9. Finish the mission, click on “continue”

10. Back on the “bridge” click the Starmap

11. Play the secret mission.

“user is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.”

I received this message when conducting operations in Terminal such as installing things from command-line or changing entries in /etc/hosts/

Regardless of my username/password combo having Administrator rights I continued to receive this note.

Just recently I fixed this “is not in sudoers file” problem by going through these steps:

1) Logout of your current account
2) Login as root
2a) Obviously you need to be able to “switch/change users”, if you don’t have this option, either go here or conduct these steps:
- Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and click Accounts.
- If some settings are dimmed, click the lock icon and type an administrator name and password.
- Click Login Options.
- Select “Enable fast user switching.”
3) Being logged in as root (you will need to recall your root password! – if you cannot or don’t have one, Google how to setup a root password) you open Terminal
4) In Terminal you enter
echo ‘the-user-name-that-is-giving-you-the-trouble ALL=(ALL) ALL’ >> /etc/sudoers
* obviously you will want to replace the-user-name… bit with your own username.
for instance, to give you an example:
echo ‘mike ALL=(ALL) ALL’ >> /etc/sudoers

Now you can quit and relogin as your regular user (e.g. mike) and run any sudo operation using your regular user name and password combo.

anyway, all of these cases on the official case site are in uppercase, making it a freaking nightmare to read. Has anyone ever come up with a lowercase solution? Of course there is always wikipedia, but that doesnt cover all details…

In unrelated news: happy xmas everyone the next few days!
