		<description><![CDATA[A friend of mine lives on Bonieta Harrold Drive. I live on a Windsor Hill Drive. Both of us have a problem in common, which is that poorly designed software is incapable of accepting the length of our street address. For me, American Express refuses to accept more than &#8220;WINDSOR HILL D&#8221;, which still arrives [...]]]></description>

We double and triple check everything, because want to make sure the submission works. We verify our email address, our date of birth, and even maybe retype our password, just to make sure they&#8217;re both [...]]]></description>

Zend Server is not available for the Mac, but Zend Server CE is, so I decided to give it a try. There are many good things in this product. Among them, is the ability to easily [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a developer I&#8217;m often torn between the concept of &#8220;it works&#8221; and the concept of &#8220;it&#8217;s right.&#8221; This is no less true than in the following example&#8230; There&#8217;s great debate amongst the PHP community about when exiting PHP and printing strict HTML is permissible; this example clearly works (you can test it), but is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It would be hard to talk about usability without the ubiquitous iPod coming to mind. Apple likes the slogan &#8220;it just works,&#8221; and they spend a lot of time, energy and money painting anything by Microsoft as for business, too technical, and difficult to work with. I&#8217;m certainly no Apple fanboy, and though I use [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the least discussed features of Subversion is the post-commit hook, or really any of the built-in hooks that Subversion offers. These hooks are executed at a variety of different times, and the one I&#8217;m focusing on is the one that is executed just after you commit changes to the repository.
