Exactly. I think the most relevant comment is: "It's the most beautiful PHP I've ever written, all wonderfully MVC and DRY, and and I owe it all to Rails." How much more clear can he be that trying Rails was a *positive* thing for his site, and his skills as a developer?
Don't worry ElleyKitten, you're not the one who's coming off as emotional or abusive here. You also refrain from making personal attacks. The difference in humanity in this discussion is clear.
Is it possible to mod someone higher than 5? This comment is the most fair comment on Google in China that I've seen yet on Slashdot. (Which means, I agree with it the most.)
...a fight between Robot Lawyer and Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer. I think the best part of the war would be found in their rivaling corporate sponsors. Big Giant Bean, you've met your match!
Where I can find a copy of the email and attachment for this trojan? For some reason my level of spam has dropped through the floor recently, and I would love to take a look at this thing and start picking it apart. Any help is much appreciated.
Were SaGa Frontier 2 and Wild Arms 2, for the PSX.
SaGa Frontier 2 is the epitomy of the video game as art, with hand painted watercolor graphics, Hamauzu's awesome piano-driven-but-not-solo soundtrack, the story spanning 3 generations...
Wild Arms 2 had Liz and Ard....enough said. The game was just so much fun in so many ways, musically, characters, dungeons....just has this perfect atmosphere.

I should make a note of Terranigma, as well, the best SNES RPG ever made, never brought to America, but brought to Europe! What's up with that?!
The claims of stealing $2000 and other crimes are exaggerated. The story reported at CNet:
According to the attorney general's office, Boudreau began to install key-logging software around April 2002 and used intercepted information to add money to a stored-value card used in the campus dining and bookstore system. Boudreau is not, however, accused of misusing credit card numbers or profiting from selling any private information he allegedly gleaned.
A person at Boston College with knowledge of the situation said the attorney general's office exaggerated Boudreau's accomplishments in its press release, in an attempt to tout this prosecution as a high-visibility test case. "I feel bad for this kid," the person said. "He's not the appropriate test case. He's feeling bad. He has all these issues. He's been depressed."
Not that I feel bad for him for being depressed or anything, but he's being viewed as a real criminal who stole from hundreds where all he really did was mess around on a computer.
I'm reasonably sure they could learn the skills for it in an hour or two of use. No matter what your mindset, there's nothing *difficult* about computers and their setups, even if it's not natural at the start.
I actually started to agree with your sentiment, but then you started to get really ridiculous.
"Did you know many people have difficulty distinguishing between left and right?"
"You mean if I want this computer to do something I have to open a "program"? Why? Why can't it just do what I want it to do?"
You can't design your interfaces to be awesome for people who can't tell the difference between left and right. Or for people who can't conceive as computers as anything but an extension of their will.
Sometimes people just have to learn new things. For MOST people, these things are easy to learn.

Reading this was just awesome. Excellent story, and what an excellent gift for your family.
That's *exactly* what I was thinking, underwhelm. Very craft. Although don't dismiss the table tennis simulator out of hand; I heard it's really good.
I'll stop making CMS systems when you stop using ATM machines and always forgetting your PIN number!
Shadow of the Colossus came out of Sony, so remember that at least one division of Sony has still got some good in it.

Geez...I go to WPI (sophomore), and I didn't realize that happened so often. Know any names?

Sorry for poor paragraph formatting. That was my first post here. (Though I've read here for a while.)
