In August 2007 a hacker found a way to expose the PHP source code on facebook.com. He retrieved two files and then emailed them to me, and I wrote about the issue:

http://techcrunch.com/2007/08/11/facebook-source-code-leaked/

It became a big deal:

http://www.techmeme.com/070812/p1#a070812p1

The two files are index.php (the homepage) and search.php (the search page)

# A queue that you can pass to IO.select.
#
# NOT THREAD SAFE: Only one thread should write; only one thread should read.
#
# Purpose:
#   Allow easy integration of data-producing threads into event loops.  The
#   queue will be readable from select's perspective as long as there are
#   objects in the queue.

# Implementation:

        and must be closed by the caller under all circumstances), or

# This is Neocities' Rainbows! config file. We are using this in production to run all our web apps.
# It works really well for us and has been heavily load tested, so I wanted to share it with the community.

# In my opinion, this is the best way to deploy a ruby web application. Unlike EventMachine based solutions,
# it uses real ruby threads, which allows it to take advantage of the internal non-blocking IO pattern 
# in MRI.
#
# Contrary to popular belief, MRI doesn't block execution to wait on IO when you are using threads, even
# with the GIL. The requests are done concurrently for anything that is based on the IO class. This 
# includes things like Net::HTTP and even `system commands`. Grep the MRI Ruby source code for
