The system automatically detected the attack, learned about its characteristics, and then propagated rules that protected the site under attack as well as all the other sites that are part of the CloudFlare community — all without human intervention.

Just save yourself some expense by downloading gem and typing "gem install rails --include-dependencies" then "rails ." Yes, if the Buzzware can do it... so can you!
