that's almost like child's play(code is not tested, but it looks like that.. and i'm pretty sure it's sitting there quite a while)..

if you were to compare this with an agnostic framework with drop-in, you have to set everything. with rails, you just gonna say "oh, this isn't default so i have to explicitly set this".. or "oh, this is no longer default so i have to set this".. it's just a convention.. if you want to use rails in an unconventional way, by all means do it, you just have to know more about its internals if you intend to do this -- this makes sense when you think about it(you don't want to be hacking hard on a piece of software you don't really understand, you're going to want to know what you're doing so that you have a good idea when some unexpected problem arises).
>Part of the problem is the leadership. They take the stance, "you bastards are doing it wrong" if you want to do things a little different.
if you did that and decided there's really nothing out there that can solve your problem, they you can just implement it however you want, rails is very configurable, but really, you're just limited to what ruby can do..
>So saying dissenters are slow to learn, stubborn or haven't been writing tests really doesn't do anyone a service and doesn't make anything clearer, sorry.

if we're talking about the murder of thousands of innocent people, investigating about this thing matters all the more.. just because it's not likely, doesn't mean it's impossible.. 'proofs are lacking on both sides' isn't conclusive to rule out that possibility..
i think you sign up at freshbooks, let freshbooks know that mixergy referred you and you will get a cake.. maybe by dropping a note after signup or some coupon code field or something like that..
if you do a derivative work from a gpl'ed piece, you are forced to gpl it. so if the mac osx links against gpl'ed code, they are doing derivative work, and therefore must gpl it.
