I'm on it right now, would have been done last night but having trouble with rails 3.0 and gem paths. But its not true it wont have any functionality, it does what it claims to do, which isn't much, but its something. Putting auto_hash

I think I'll allow this statement. He mentioned he's a "developer", and from his point of view, (and mine), the field of practical programming knowledge is pretty limited. So he could roll up to a Barnes and Noble, pick up most any book

Believe me, I understand what these one way hashing algorithms are, but you have to cut me a little slack for not knowing the exact proper terminology, since this is not my field. I know its not some magical "security function", actually I

Where have I claimed to have done any crypography at all??? auto_hash is just a plugin that wraps a call to ruby's Digest library in a convenient rails plugin, the entire "crypto" part are these two lines: salt = ActiveSupport::SecureRa

I really have no idea why you are saying "there is absolutely no reason to roll your own password hashing scheme" Its a plugin that automates salting and hashing and then an acessor to compare against that. Are we actually calling somethi

You sure are reading a lot into what I said, and coming off as pretty arrogant trying to correct me. So because I haven't yet offered other hashing algorithm options yet, since this plugin is about a week old and nobody has used it, and nob

I don't really understand your phrasing, "auto_hash is an inferior password hash", its a rails plugin that uses SHA2 (256). If you mean "auto_hash" uses an inferior password hash, could somebody please point me to some info on why it shoul

Python is named after Monty Python, and you see occasional Monty Python jokes, but I think people that use Perl have a sense of humor about it because they aren't religious about Perl, they know its fugly and awkward, but at the same time t

Maybe they should check, or already have, if small doses of lithium make citizens more compliant and less critical of authority, especially with increasing the dosage of lithium in the water :)

I was working on something like this a little while ago. I also saw all the competition (sites similar to a site that shows similar sites :) I wasn't smart enough to do what you did, I was thinking of somehow building the directory by hand

I have never read a privacy policy, EVER. Am I missing something good? If they violate their own privacy policy do I have legal recourse? And is it even possible to write a privacy policy without loopholes?

That's just one step away from the same problem. You use them in a mock up... you succeed with a mock up... then you are stuck with building out that mock up of images that need an attribution, or you have to find substitutes.

I know exactly how you feel. A few more thoughts. I wish I knew how much "design" was the threshold for users to accept the site as "professional", basically what I could get away with. I think I get tripped up because I don't like those 2
