Das eez kaput! Sometime around 2002 I spaced the entire database table that mapped individual entries to categories. Such is life. What follows is a random sampling of entries that were associated with the category. Over time, the entries will be updated and then it will be even more confusing. Wander around, though, it's still a fun way to find stuff.
I have no idea what that last sentence is supposed to mean in the context of the one that came before it unless it's just the Times slagging MSNBC. I include it only for the sake of thoroughness.Even as American officials were preparing to install an interim government in Iraq, the hoisting of the American flag over the statue's face was a brief but powerful reminder that unlike the Soviet empire, Iraq's regime did not implode from within. A closer historical analogy could have been the photograph of a Red Army soldier raising the Soviet flag over a bombed-out Reichstag in 1945.
That iconic picture by the Russian photographer Yevgeny Khaldei was carefully planned and posed. In Baghdad, the Stars and Stripes were hurriedly pulled down and replaced with a pre-gulf-war Iraqi flag, tucked into a chain around the statue's neck like a large dinner napkin. As one commentator on MSNBC said, "It looks like cooler geopolitical heads have prevailed."
...I realized that without sound, TV war coverage is a hopeless exercise in confusion. Smoke-drenched shots of indecipherable landscapes, jerky digital video and talking heads: it all screams Contemporary Art Museum exhibit.
How, I ask myself, does one describe this outside the language of a military report, the definition of the colour, the decibels of the explosions? When the cruise missiles came in it sounded as if someone was ripping to pieces huge curtains of silk in the sky and the blast waves became a kind of frightening counterpoint to the flames.

What does that mean, exactly? I'm not fluent in file permissions; is this considered bad security juju or what?
It means that the directories/files are world writable. In a web context it means that the magic web-server user (usually "http" or "www") has permissions to write all that stuff in a www/blog form to disk (read : index.html)
It also means that any other user on the same server can affect said files. Since most installs of Apache explicitly disallow HTTP "PUT" (read:write) statements, there is some illusory protection from random people all over the Internet, proper, writing to the unprotected directory.
On the other hand, if your webhost offers shell access it would be pretty easy for a bad person, with a login, to snoop out[1] one or more [ insert insecure weblog application here ] directories. From there, they could do something like install a PHP upload form and, bang, your weblog has turned into an instant warez node[2]. Or it may suddenly be "protected" by an .htaccess file you didn't write. That kind of thing.
...
[Y]ou can solve most of these problems if your webhost filters cgi-scripts through a "cgiwrapper" that suids to user 'you'. Since you have write permissions on your own directories, you don't have to extend the privilege to the web-server or anyone else. I haven't done a survey, but I suspect that any ISP/webhost worth it's salt uses a wrapper, which makes install docs that say "0777" all the more frustrating.
[1] Due to the nature and history of Unix systems, many of the auditing tools are readily available and you can find out a whole lot despite the best efforts of security-minded sysadmins...
[2] This is probably unlikely, since PHP is usually built with limits on file uploads but you get the idea.

This document uses CSS kung-fu and a small amount of JavaScript for rendering its contents. Efforts have been made to separate the form from the content so if you are viewing this in a text-based browser it shouldn't be an issue.
On the other hand it may look funny if you are viewing it in a browser with incomplete CSS and/or JavaScript implementations. Internet Explorer 6 comes to mind.
It's not that I don't love you. However, my time is limited and I no longer feel very good about spending it working around any one browser's inconsistencies with little, or no, confidence that they will ever be fixed or otherwise made more inconsistent at some later date.
On the other hand, if something is down-right unreadable please let me know and I will endeavour to fix it.

This page may not validate. It's not that I don't care, it's just that I'm not aware of it yet. Part of the reason that I rewrote the entire back-end for managing this site is that the old stuff made it too easy for these kinds of mistakes to slip through the cracks.
