Pronunciation of "route"

Occasionally, I often heard two different versions for the pronunciation of "route"("root" vs "rowt"), mostly from computer networking context. It got me to google which one is "correct".

Firstly, "root" +1 from Hong Kong Yahoo dictionary...

Then, it appears a typical pronunciation difference between British and American...

While some people suggest that there is a little historical factor... one more party French... hmm...

Interesting responses:
"I say root. Personally, I cringe when I hear someone pronounce it rowt."
"I say root. I hate when people say rowt. They all must die."

Conclusion: 

iphone Personal Hotspot suddenly disappeared and I fixed it accidentally

Suddenly Gone

I had been using the Personal Hotspot on my iPhone since day one. But just now, the Personal Hotspot was gone ! disappeared ! missing !


I suspected that it was some changes on firmware update ... but the version stayed the same. version 6.1.2

I tried the following:
- Switch it off and on again
- "Settings" > "General" > "Reset" > "Reset Network Settings"

didn't work.

Fix

then at last I found the settings in 
- "Settings" > "General" > "Cellular" > "Personal Hotspot"
after I switched it on, the "Settings" > "Personal Hotspot" appeared again.

WEIRD!

hotcocoa/mappings/appkit/box.rb:3:in `block': uninitialized constant CGRectZero (NameError)

Where does this error coming from?

So... after playing with RubyMotion, I start picking up MacRuby !
my goal was to build up some desktop utility apps and interactive desktop application taking various of gesture capturing input devices.

First, I tried out the hello world in XCode and it works fine. Then I tried writing Macruby apps without XCode. After I install macruby on rvm and run the Macruby apps generated by hotcoca, I saw this error:

hotcocoa/mappings/appkit/box.rb:3:in `block': uninitialized constant CGRectZero (NameError)

Troubleshooting in irb ?

Spent quite a lot of time checking documentation and setup instructions. When I tested the missing dependencies in irb, I found out that only those related to Cocoa UI are missing. So I load the cocoa framework explicitly and it works:

framework 'CocoaGraphic'
CRRectZero

Solve that in hotcocoa project

inside my application.rb, I load the framework explicitly before loading the hotcocoa gem:

begin
  # for OSX 10.8
  framework 'CoreGraphics'
rescue
end
framework 'Cocoa'

require 'rubygems' # disable this for a deployed application
require 'hotcocoa'
