I want to remember the selection on that page, so when the user comes back, the number of images displayed are what they selected last time around.

Our Rails app is using Restful Authentication for user/session management and it seems that logging in to the same account from multiple computers kills the session on the other computers, thus killing the "Remember me" feature. So say I'm at home and log in to the app (and check "Remember me"). Then I go to the office and log in (and a...
Rails AuthenticityToken automatically protects POST/PUT/DELETE requests from CSRF attacks. But I have another use case in mind. I am showing a video on my site that I don't want to be embeddable on other sites. How this works is that my flash player sends a request for a signed URL from my CDN that expires in a few seconds. Up until ...

The application will accept payments from users with paypal's Payments Standard. All of this money will be stored temporarily in the company's paypal account, and then redirected to some of the users involved in the transaction via their paypal accounts (we'd also keep a cut of this money). Would this implementation require a banking lic...

Just upgraded Rails to 2.3.5 to get the lovely looking rails_xss plugin but I've noticed one big issue with it. Any content_for blocks are escaped when yielded. I've tried hacking it around by doing the either of following but they do not work: <% @content_for_foo.html_safe! -%> <%= yield raw :foo %> ...

But my caching servers do have hundreds of gigs of free disk memory that is unutilized, as do my app...
