Falsehoods programmers believe about prices

1. You can store a price in a floating point variable.
2. All currencies are subdivided in 1/100th units (like US dollar/cents, euro/eurocents etc.).
3. All currencies are subdivided in decimal units (like dinar/fils)
4. All currencies currently in circulation are subdivided in decimal units. (to exclude shillings, pennies) (counter-example: MGA)
5. All currencies are subdivided. (counter-examples: KRW, COP, JPY... Or subdivisions can be deprecated.)
6. Prices can't have more precision than the smaller sub-unit of the currency. (e.g. gas prices)
7. For any currency you can have a price of 1. (ZWL)
8. Every country has its own currency. (EUR is the best example, but also Franc CFA, etc.)

Patched ruby 1.9.3-p194 for 30% faster rails boot

What is?

This script installs a patched version of ruby 1.9.3-p194 with patches for boot-time performance improvements (#66 and #68), and runtime performance improvements (#83 and #84). It also includes the new backported GC from ruby-trunk.

Huge thanks to funny-falcon for the performance patches.

    Python helper class that can send emails using Amazon SES and boto.
    The biggest feature of this class is that encodings are handled properly.
    It can send both text and html emails.
    This implementation is using Python's standard library (which opens up for a lot more options).
