I am wondering if it would be possible (and safe) to develop online banking or other security-related applications with Ruby on Rails, instead of using J2EE frameworks or .NET?

Hi all, I want my users to be able to view RSS feeds of their choice on my site. But i''d like to be able to check the files they are submitting as feeds are actually XML before attempting to parse and display them.

So, I''m working on a search engine of sorts that restricts results to your local area. I can successfully return all entries within 15 miles of a particular point, and I can successfully return all entries that match a search query, but I''m having trouble combining the two together and doing pagination on them.
