   I am curious about the implications of Rails migrations here. It seems that migrations give you a pretty good level of softness in your data models when you need it. Of course, I think a lot of Rails apps do end up with much of their logic

    Hate to sound cynical, but I have to ask: why would technology like this be made accessible to the average person? What would be the economic payoff? Seems to me that this will be a technology for elitists, first and foremost. Or you would

    I'd let them do the snippity-snip in exchange for living to 150. Seriously, I want to see what happens, and I'm not interested in kids. Would rather adopt one if that bug ever bites, but I doubt it will.

    Heh, so this has piqued my interest. I have absolutely no experience in online investing/day trading, although I'm pretty sure a lot of you are veterans. Any books you'd recommend to a programmer with day trading aspirations?

    And their support and sponsorship page is down. This is the crap I'm talking about. It has to be easy, it has to be well executed, it has to inspire confidence. Fail, fail, and fail. I wouldn't entrust my $$$ to this group at this point.
