Is there any technique to prevent spam post before active record saves its record.
I was just thinking of putting before_filter, in which it judges if the registered keyword is included in parameters past,and it forces to redirect.
Is it normal way? or it slows down the system teribbly as the spam keywords get more?

I'd use a service like Akismet through one of these gems:

Level by level quiz game:
I would like to have the user progress be saved and return to the appropriate level & step when clicked. Does it make sense to use a state machine as the user advances levels? A multi step form? Just javascript?
I am a bit confused as to whether I should just be digging into the state_machine gem or whether I should pursue a different path. I truly appreciate any help.

I build an app in RoR which is on heroku. And I want to send a fax every time an order is taking place. What will be the best option for me?
Thanks
You could use InterFAX or eFaxCorporate. I don't think any of these APIs come pre-integrated with Heroku though. The use of InterFAX from a Ruby environment is documented on this book.

Could any one please tell me a good gem for Messaging System with attachments feature to send messages with in the application.
Thanks in advance.
In cases like this it is useful to look at the excellent RubyToolbox for projects in that space.

They list a number of messaging systems where users within an application can send each other messages

What is the best solution to scrape many prices from many different websites?
Is it possible to scrape prices realtime? If yes how?
I don't know if it is still being maintained, but I've found scRUBYt to be very useful when it comes to scraping. http://scrubyt.rubyforge.org
