Yeah, but it's like a -volume warning- on a video. You didn't know you needed it until it's too late.
Actually, .... ah nevermind.

So are you going to start shouting fart jokes at us next. Infantile, truly infantile!
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Agreed.
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger.
English doesn't borrow from other languages.
English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

Actually I find fart jokes quite funny...

At the risk of sounding pedantic.
The joke asks about why the red light is constantly red - then it goes on to explain that it is because it has to change in front of everyone.
So how can something that changes also have a constant state?
Just asking...

Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane. I remember hearing that one back in them thar 70s. Another one I like from the era was "Help the police, beat yourself up." 
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

I've unexpectedly had a Ruby project drop onto my lap. Since I've never done anything with it before I'm looking for something that could help me get my feet wet. Ide One[^] supports Ruby, so I should be able to do basic makeee-learnee coding without having to install anything first; but could use a good tutorial to cover the important features of the language and it's idioms so I don't start learning it the wrong way.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Despite its name, that appears to be a lot more of a language reference than a tutorial. What I'm looking for is more a set of sample programs with explanations of why they're written the way they are. (From peanut gallery comments I've seen elsewhere, The Ruby Way(tm) is often different than the naive approach that someone coming from a member of the C family would choose.)

I have this book[^], and it is a very good reference.
On a side note, I also have this book[^] and this book[^], both about Rails.

I believe Marc Clifton is the resident RoR guru, doing a quick search here he's done a couple of related articles and if I remember correctly you might look back on some of his early lounge posts I believe he gave a slew of information pertaining to the subject.

Rubykoans is a great place to start. It's test first learning so you'll fall right in line with the rest of the community's expectations.

I am currently re-installing Cygwin x64 as a recent crash made it go FUBAR (the crash was caused by VirtualBox. No real surprise there, eh?) I also will be updating a number of packages, such as Git (1.7.9 -> 1.8.4.1), Bash (4.1.something -> 4.2), and so on.
How many people here use Cygwin? How many knew there is now a x64 version? How many have no clue what I am talking about? How many don't care?
