From Wikipedia ‘in the news’: “It is agreed that the Taliban will release the remaining South Korean hostages in return for South Korea withdrawing its 200 non-combat troops within the year and suspending missionary work in Afghanistan.” So the Taliban takes a bunch of Christian South-Koreans as hostages, then uses them to bargain a deal with South Korea which dictates...

$_SESSION['completed'] = false; ... $x = $_SESSION['completed']; $x = 'complete'; if(!$x) $x = 'incomplete'; echo $x; I was just trying to test some session data so I decided to use a very simple temporary variable. I spent about 20 minutes trying to figure out why the printout was “complete”. I need to be more careful about how I name my temporary variables from now on.

I just want to say that my little “Tumblr community” is dominated by males. I have ~12 male friends and only 1 female friend… considering there are more women than men in the world, and blogging is no stranger to women, where are they? Is Tumblr male-dominated? Does anyone know of any good females on Tumblr that I can add to my list of friends?

War on the Bill of Rights
John Whitehead: Is there a war on the Bill of Rights? Are our freedoms in jeopardy? For example, people are being labeled enemy combatants and jailed. They’re not allowed to see a lawyer. President Bush has pushed stealth legislation through Congress, which gives him the power to declare martial law for basically any reason. The President of the United States has bypassed the FISA court and allowed the National Security Agency to spy on domestic phone calls made by American citizens. The President advocated the Patriot Act. As a result of which, for example, FBI agents are showing up at people’s doors to investigate them and are intimidating them because they have anti-Bush posters. The FBI has gone to libraries demanding the names and records of people to find out what books they’re reading. There is a shroud of secrecy around the White House. People who work for the President, such as Alberto Gonzales, are called before Congress and refuse to answer questions. It seems to me that our Constitution is being undermined. What’s going on?
Bruce Fein: There certainly is a war on the Bill of Rights. It is more intense and successful, in a grim way, than the war against terrorism. And it is largely there because the President and members of Congress have artificially inflated the danger of international terrorism. I’m not suggesting that it isn’t a genuine danger, but it’s not World War II. It’s not the 3-million-man Red Army. It’s not 10,000 nuclear warheads that could destroy millions overnight. And by this artificial inflation, President Bush has sought to justify these extraordinary measures that depart from our most fundamental checks and balances and protections against government abuses—all of which have been hallmark protections since our country’s inception. Some of these rights, such as the privilege of habeas corpus, are simply the right to ask a clerk to decide whether a detainee is being held lawfully. This goes back eight centuries to the Magna Charta of 1215. But we’re abandoning these fundamental principles in order to create an atmosphere of fear and intimidation, which increases government power.

“When affixed to the roof of your car, you’ll be known around town as the guy with enough bucks to buy a sunroof. The public will never know your sunroof is actually a giant black sticker with a frame around it. Yes, you can fool them all, but the question is whether your integrity and standing in the community is worth $25 plus $6 shipping and handling.” Thanks for the heads up...
