		<title>Let&#8217;s talk about your password model</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First off, let me just say that I am by no means an expert cryptographer; there are all sorts of wonderful, terrible things about hashes and block ciphers that I just don&#8217;t understand (I&#8217;d like to believe that it&#8217;s because I&#8217;ve not been exposed to them, whoever&#8217;s fault that is, and that if given a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pour Some Syntactic Sugar On Me: &#8216;Unless&#8217; Keyword</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s face it, syntactic sugar can be a very attractive feature for a language (I consider Perl to be an extremely powerful language composed almost entirely of syntactic sugar), and I think it&#8217;s about time we all started demanding the &#8220;Unless&#8221; Keyword as a counterpart to the &#8220;If&#8221; Keyword.  Let me give you a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Arrays of Objects and __get: Friends Forever</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In PHP, an object is always passed around as a reference, which allows one to deal with objects in a very transparent manner, since the only way to deal with a by-value copy instead of the real deal is to explicitly use the clone operator.  Recently, I came upon a situation in which it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Did You Know?  Class Visibility in PHP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While it remains an imperative-style language, since version 5 PHP&#8217;s object model has gotten significantly more sophisticated.  While in PHP 4 objects were little more than arrays with functions, the newer versions have most of the trimmings of modern OOP.  Among those, probably considered a basic triviality at best, is member visibility.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Net Neutrality &#8211; A Plea</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, McCain introduced a bill for consideration which would effectively block the FCC&#8217;s attempts at creating so-called &#8220;Network Neutrality&#8221; rules which ISPs and Telcos would be required to follow.  Now, setting aside for a moment the fact that McCain has received more than double as much money as the next-highest senator to be bankrolled by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blankets &#8211; Nature&#8217;s Simple Truths</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just as a quick FYI, it has come to my attention that all programming languages suck.  Prolog, PL/1, Perl, C, C++, ASM, Haskell, PHP, Python, Ruby, Tcl, Java, Delphi, COBOL, FORTRAN, Pascal, Visual Basic, ASP.NET, Ocaml, C# and so on&#8230; all worthless.  This comes as a huge relief.
According to further reading I&#8217;ve done, [...]]]></description>

		<title>XML Is Like Violence&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;if it hasn&#8217;t solved your problem yet, you&#8217;re not using enough.  Curiously, I always thought of that little quip as a subtle indictment of the problems with XML, but it seems to almost be a rallying cry for proponents of the standard (I refuse to recognize XML as a &#8220;language&#8221;).  And when I say [...]]]></description>

		<title>Javascript Abuse #2,463,981: Centering Content</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another quick rant/post about the wonderful world of abusing javascript.  Consider the following code:

function moveScreen&#40;&#41; &#123;
    var myWidth = 0,
    myHeight = 0;
    if &#40;typeof&#40;window.innerWidth&#41; == 'number'&#41; &#123;
        //Non-IE
        myWidth = [...]]]></description>

		<title>Programming Nuances, PHP and JavaScript</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two little snippets, some simple things that seem to be forgotten when writing code.  First, a general example using PHP; have you ever found yourself writing a loop that looks something like this?

$i = 0;
while &#40;$row = mysql_fetch_assoc&#40;$result&#41; &#123;
	// ...
	// maybe something about $i % 2 to determine even-from-odd rows
	++$i;
&#125;

If so, remember this: you are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nerdisms: Destroying America</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Hey there kids!  Put your walk-mans down and listen up!  Let&#8217;s &#8220;rap&#8221; for a second about nerds.  Nerds, the social stragglers that make your stuff go just so you won&#8217;t beat them.  Nerds, the&#8230; Actually, I&#8217;m sick of this already.  I was browsing Graphjam today, and I ran across this:
