		<title>Jobs versus good government.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I actually want to write about Obama&#8217;s attempt at student load reform, but before I do I want to mention an excellent article at truthout discussing Beck, Coulter, and Limbaugh.  The author (one Davidson Loehr) gives a brief review of Julius Streicher, who would seem to be the closest thing to a real life [...]]]></description>

		<title>The info wars:  Disney</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently listened to an old Alex Jones &#8211; Noam Chomsky interview.  I absolutely detest Alex Jones, who&#8217;s essentially the Rush Limbaugh of the tinfoil hat crowd.  What I find reprehensible in his pseudo-journalism is the net effect of it, which is to discredit and marginalize legitimate points of concern in the political spectrum, for [...]]]></description>

		<title>America&#8217;s lack of conservatives</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My mother and aunt Herta called me last night.  I forget how we got to it, but I was explaining to Herta how low taxes are here in Switzerland, and how much more the Swiss government provides with that money than the American government manages to provide despite a much higher tax rate.

		<title>Fedora 12: Configuring it like I like it.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, Fedora 12 is out.  I use Fedora, because their target audience is people who would be inclined to, and be able to, contribute to free software.  This means the target audience is more savy than the target audience for, for example, Ubuntu.  I&#8217;m tired of OS&#8217;s aiming at the least common [...]]]></description>

		<title>Java Gripes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I, for my sins, am now programming in Java.  By now I have a lot of experience programming with a pretty large number of programming languages.  Java, C++, C, Basic, Visual Basic, SQL, Python, Perl, php, Matlab, etc.
While I have to admit to having a prejudice against Java as YAPL (Yet Another Proprietary [...]]]></description>

		<title>Atheism and the holidays</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, Switzerland just passed an anti-minaret initiative, which forbids the construction of new minarets in Switzerland.  It was a very dissappointing result.  Preliminary polls indicated that only 36 percent of Swiss favored such a law, which leads  me to believe that the racist, fear-mongering, irrational and emotion-based ad campaign was successful.  Members of the EU [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The skype client for linux is 32 bit.  So to run it on a 64 bit Linux installation you have to install 32 bit libraries.  In a quick aside, I gotta say:  Skype devs, 64 bit tech has been around for years&#8230; what the hell is taking you gyum search , the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gecko&#8217;s Guide to GIT</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve convinced my work colleagues over at Gecko-Research to start using Git.  I&#8217;m a git neophyte myself, but now I&#8217;m in the position of setting up our Git repository, and teaching my colleagues how to use it. I&#8217;ve written up a little guide to using Git, aimed as a reference for myself and my colleagues.   [...]]]></description>

		<title>An open letter to Antonio Maria Costa</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Antonia Maria Costa, the UN &#8220;Drug Czar&#8221;, has written a letter to the guardian asking &#8220;How many lives would have ben lost if we didn&#8217;t have controls on drugs&#8221;.  It riled me up enough that I had to shoot off a response:
One has to wonder if Mr. Costa believes the nonsense he is promulgating, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Exit strategies for the war on drugs, part1:  Framing the discussion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am gradually of the opinion that drug-policy reform is now a sure thing, and the discussion will need to shift to alternative policies.  This is the first in a multi-part series, in which I prattle on about what comes next after the war on drugs.  This post attempts to formulate a useful basis for [...]]]></description>
