PayPal does have APIs for doing what you want - pre-authorization and partial (or multiple) capture at a later point. It's not as easy as having a virtual terminal (I don't recall them having that option from my reading of the docs a while ago), but there is a way to do it with PayPal (as it is with any good CC processor).
Re:Q: Can you mix PHP and RoR?

You don't need RoR to get the AJAX functionality, it's just a little more baked-in that way. Packages like prototype.js, SAJAX, etc. make it pretty easy to add nice interactivity to a web app developed in many languages.
It's not all about the resume, though the resume is very important. It's also about the cover letter. I just posted an ad today for a position, and while wading through resumes I've come to cherish the well-written cover letter.
Some tips:
Let me know you read the ad: reference the content of the ad.
Tell me how you fit the bill: Choose one experience, one skill, or one attribute that meets the at least one of the requirements listed in the ad.
Express (sincere) interest in the job: try to make it feel like you didn't just respond to this ad because you're desperate for any kind of interview.
Don't send your cover letter as an attachment! It should be your email body. Really. I won't read an attached cover letter.
Make it easy on the hiring person, and you'll improve your chances on having your resume actually read -- and that is what will get you the interview.
Well, we just ripped out our (not so old) PBX in favor of the Shoreline VoIP solution and we love it. No more calling in the vendor to move a phone, calling in the vendor to change workgroups, no more calling in the vendor to... you get it. Now, we take care of everything with a web based admin tool, handle our own hunt groups, moves and adds, etc. Plus, the shoreline system offers soft phones which let you use a usb-headset and their call manager software so you can have an extension on your computer -- or laptop. Just today I worked from home with VPN and a soft phone and had my office extension at my house. Yes, it's pricy, but it rocks!
I doubt you'll find much hard research to support your position, but you'll no doubt find a lot of anecdotal evidence. It seems pretty clear to me that the simpler it is to enter and track bugs, the more use a bug database will get, and I've seen that happen a number of times, especially with less technical users who simply aren't inclined to become masters of a bug tracking package. This is why I wrote my own free substitute for bugzilla (shameless plug). This is certainly one software category that hasn't produce a globally ideal solution yet.
Indeed, webdav is an excellent way to go, especially for the users on windows boxen. Just add the dav site as a web folder, and off you go. For permissions management, check out mod_auth_mysql for apache. This makes it really to add and remove users for an auth realm.
Head on over the QA site to find out what it means. I'd suggest if you don't have much experience with the whole apache/php routine that you stick with apache 1.3.x and php 4.1.2
I recently graduated from a Information Systems track which was located in the business department. We had a number of development projects, and a fair portion of them required working in groups. In fact, that was the number one complaint about our coursework -- not enough solo projects. Anyway, each member of the project was required to thoroughly document the work not only done by themselves but also done by every other member of the group. It was a pretty effective way of keeping people honest. That, and in many projects there were status updates during the project that required the same level of reporting, so the instructors found out early on in projects who wasn't performing.
Well, either I'm wrong or Katz is, so I'll opt for Katz.:) I think of myself as a computer geek, but not as a computer nerd. Computer geeks have the same technical knowledge/expertise/love/whatever as computer nerds do, but unlike the nerds, geeks actually have a life, too.

FamilyAnywhere was recently released for this very thing.

Well, take a look at shoreline's shoregear. It can use plain ol' analog phones along with IP phones.
