    Someone's un-rant
    http://www.zedshaw.com/rants/rails_is_a_ghetto.html

    That page used to be a huge intemperate rant about various members of the US Ruby development community and their alleged idiocy. Among the complaints was the theme that people started regarding it as a religion, or a cult of personality, and behaving accordingly with dissenters.

    Now he's taken it down and replaced it with a comment that perhaps young men are too eager to listen to the toughest-sounding man, even in a geeky field, and that in order to avoid fuelling it more he's binned his own rant. I find that very impressively wise.

Dubious SIM card devices. Missile launchers. USB thermometers (actually useful!). Portable handheld shredders. Giant stress buttons. Coke-proof half-keyboards for gamers. You could spend hours just boggling at their catalog...
