similar to: Re: Who owns the web application after it code''s distributed

Let''s say I''m building a "to-do" list application using Ruby on Rails. I decide to sell it to a customer, and distribute the source code files to him. Can I then restrict the user from distrubting the files by creating a license that prohibits distribution? That is, is it possible to create a "single-user" license? Or, am I limited to distributing the

Using File.size(myfile) I can get the size of the uploaded file in _bytes_. Does anybody know of a function to convert bytes into a more human readable format? If I had a wish list for a "file_size_in_words()" function, it would do this: 10752 bytes becomes "10.5 Kilobytes". 2213814 bytes becomes "2.1 Megabytes". 238 bytes becomes "Less Than 1 Kilobyte".

Hi Everyone, This is a small release that fixes a little bug, some of the documentation, and adds the new RedirectHandler code and a @redirect@ call for the mongrel.conf files. It''s fresh so don''t rely on it. Everyone should upgrade with the usual *gem update* command (which tells you it''s "Upgrading...") and tell me how it works. This release fixes: * The

I see that the RubyOnRails.com site has migrated to Mongrel with Apache as a front-end proxy. Is that now the/a recommended setup for Rails apps? We''re still using FCGI but I''m always interested to learn more about other folk''s successful deployment choices. Across all of our sites we''re pumping out about 300k pages per day so anything that saves memory or has

...and what permissions should they have. I am thinking of /var/run/dovecot and the index directory. What ownership, group and permissions should they be? Are there any other files/dirs created for dovecot alone (not the mail folders and INBOXes); if so, how should they be owned and permed? I had thought they were to be owned by dovecot, but it turns out that they should not -- ====

I am trying to debug a wine crash I am having when using GDI rendering for Starcraft BNet (Bug 5253). This bug does not happen in OpenGL mode, but my purpose is to understand the source of the bug and not to workaround it. (Bug link: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5253) The crash is in some unrolled memcpy loop that writes to screen memory, and as the bug description says, crashes after

Hello there! I'm trying to get sound from applications running from other users bug the one who owns the current GNOME sessions. Typically, my default user is "A" and he's running the GNOME session, logged in graphically. From this session, I open terminals, su to other users (B or C, non-root) and run mplayer or firefox. No sound for these. Adding those users to the

Chris is right. I would add that it sounds like you are already getting nonsense responses. However,

I''m doing some testing and want to start WEBrick as a daemon on my RHEL 4 server. How can I start this to run as a daemon from the command line so that I can close my ssh session and leave WEBrick running? Thanks, David

In the event that a lawyer is consulted, I would suggest finding one with real experience in open source law. In my experience, even most intellectual property or software attorneys have little to no experience with open source law, and I've heard the most dreadful and incorrect utterances from them on the topic of open source licenses. Duncan is correct that parts of R may be

Hi, I have this route that let me build custom url for users like /thisismyname, and it works fine. But when I look at the log there is something I don''t like... When I hit /gregory this is what is happenning: 1. Going to public_profile#public # Good 2. hitting /assets and trying to find a user with asset token # Not good I thought my constraints would avoid this but it

Hi. I''m a fairly new mongrel user and have a scenario that I wanted to run by you all, see if anyone''s synapses connect -- mine def. aren''t! I''m running a fairly simple rails app through a mongrel cluster (2 mongrels). This site is consistently sloooow -- memory on the server is regularly paging (and shouldn''t be). ssh-ing in and running top shows

Hi All, I''m working on building an app that can log and edit phone call information. I''ve got the creating and editing parting working great, and I''ve started an attempt to add searching. I can''t seem to figure out how to get an [:id] parameter from a form and passed between two controller methods. Right now I have a web page with a single text field in it

Hello, Have you guys noticed that conditional validation with validates_associated does not work well when you are creating a new record? Consider this gist: https://gist.github.com/aflag/4780225 The Lawyer class has validates_associated on address conditioned on whether the Lawyer data comes from a known source or not. So, if lawyer.source equals to some string, then lawyer.address must

We generally get our voicemails emailed to us from asterisk, but some people's messages are extraordinarily loud or quiet. I don't suppose there is any feature to even out the volume level is there?
