Ubuntu/Debian does not ship with Ruby 1.9.1. They ship with Ruby 1.9.3 under the name of "ruby-1.9.1" because they are ABI compatible.

One of my favorite hacks: DreamHost sold 1 year of domain + hosting for $60, and you could use coupons to get it down to $10. Then you could cancel everything and use the "redeemed" $60 to buy a domain for six years.

I'm sure Authlogic/Devise leaks information about itself in other places than just the session data (e.g. query params, routes). Besides, this only adds security through obscurity and doesn't actually make it any more secure.

If they pushed for people upgrading to 0.8 then everyone not upgrading would have their own blockchain. By getting more than 50% of the users to use 0.7, the rest of the 0.8 clients will discover that everyone else uses the 0.7 chain and

I think it sorely needs a framework on top that handles and generates the nginx.conf. There's quite a bit "hacking" to get every piece to work with each other (e.g. to talk to a database in Lua it needs to be configured in nginx.conf). But
