On the other hand, I imagine a fair number of Rails developers will take advantage of the Javascript framework agnosticism and switch out Prototype+Scriptaculous for jQuery. (One could do so already without too much hassle, of course, but

I see nothing wrong with allowing my kids to use social networking sites once I feel confident they're mature enough to accept the responsibility for managing their own privacy (and, in fact, my older child does already, although only on si

Which of my views do you disagree with? Prior to yesterday, GMail was an entirely appropriate way for a child to communicate with family and school friends, as far as I can tell. Now it's far too easy for that child to inadvertently revea
