Via LGF, National Review Online: Hebrew U Survivor.
You must not say "killed," these people who peacefully had lunch in the cafeteria were assassinated. And the aim of the Palestinian terrorist who put the bomb there was to murder as many human beings as possible. They were systematically targeted for death, not killed as if in an accident. The seven people murdered here were targeted because they were Jews, and found themselves on the soil of Israel. That was their crime, that was why they were assassinated.
I see history repeated. It is again considered a crime to be a Jew, just as it was during the thirties and forties. Nobody gives a damn. Just as in the thirties and forties, the rest of the world stands by while Jews are assassinated every day. The difference is, thank God, that today we have a state. But we are refused the right to defend ourselves against our enemies, which is a more perverse way to forbid our existence. By finding reasons to justify the assassins, some people in Europe encourage them to shed more Jewish blood.
Palestinians were offered an independent state in the frame of the Oslo agreement, but they rejected it, and started a terrorist war against Israel, proving they had no interest in coexistence. Besides, what kind of freedom is it when it is acquired at the expense of innocent bodies? Is there anything that can justify the deliberate murdering of as many people as possible? In the name of this freedom Palestinians are assassinating people whose only crime is going to a supermarket, or to a restaurant, or to a dance hall, or to a family celebration. This is not freedom, it is barbarity. The terrorists' intention is to make hell out of this place. They even burn the trees in our country, do you know that? What crimes have the trees committed?
The wars of religion are the most dangerous, because the moment one is ready to kill in order to impose his religion on the others, no dialogue is possible. The Jewish people have more than 3,000 years of history on this land, long before these assassins claimed it. Yet, no Jew ever imposed his religion on the others, it was always the opposite. Since the creation of the state of Israel, Muslims, and Christians can go to their sacred places. But Jews cannot go to the sacred places that are in the Palestinian Authority and come back alive, that's the difference.
Today, Israelis who are constantly victims of terrorist attacks are presented as executioners through the demonic propaganda of the Arab world and the help of Europe. At least the Americans can understand, because of the catastrophe of September 11th. All those Americans who lost friends and family know how we feel, how we feel every day, because every day Jews are assassinated. I was just in France, and I looked in the windows of the bookstores and saw horrible books, books saying that September 11th never happened, that it was all a lie invented by the Americans. Can you imagine how pernicious the terrorists' propaganda can be?
It is only the beginning. The political conflict in Israel is only used as a pretext. The truth is that the aim of fundamentalist Islam is to dominate the world, in every place, no matter who is the population. Look at the conflicts in the world, in the Philippines, in Pakistan, in Iraq, in Algeria, fanatic Muslims are every time involved. Muslim Fundamentalism represents a danger for the whole of humanity, wherever there is democracy and freedom. It does not concern Israel only. The sooner the world understands it, the sooner we will be able to vanquish these forces of evil. And I have no doubt we will triumph because the forces of life are stronger than those of death.
Oops, I just quoted almost the whole thing. Well... it's a worthwhile read.
Via PHP Everywhere today, stuff on Nanoweb, a web server written in PHP ("Why did I do it ? I found the idea of using a language mostly aimed at web scripting to write a web server was quite funny. That's all, really ..."), and more practically, a presentation on the Smarty template engine.
More evidence for how "everything goes" without God, and there's nothing to say otherwise. And this too, via Madville.com. Don't click on that link if you don't want to see a boob, or turn your images off or something.
Via webgraphics, a few details on what's new in XHTML2. More at diveintomark. You can make everything a link? Cool (I think)! At least we won't have to wrap images in <a href=""></a> anymore. Whatever, we won't be using it for years anyway 
Check out A Users Guide to URL Rewriting with the Apache Webserver.
The Apache module mod_rewrite is a killer one, i.e. it is a really sophisticated module which provides a powerful way to do URL manipulations. With it you can nearly do all types of URL manipulations you ever dreamed about. The price you have to pay is to accept complexity, because mod_rewrite's major drawback is that it is not easy to understand and use for the beginner. And even Apache experts sometimes discover new aspects where mod_rewrite can help.
In other words: With mod_rewrite you either shoot yourself in the foot the first time and never use it again or love it for the rest of your life because of its power. This paper tries to give you a few initial success events to avoid the first case by presenting already invented solutions to you.
I just realized a new benefit to my new caching scheme is that Mozilla doesn't jump to the top of the page anymore whenever I go back or forward.
If I were to disbelieve the Bible, possibly the reason I would disbelieve it above all others is that Jesus fasted for 40 days. I haven't eaten for one and I feel like I'm going to die -- maybe not that awful, but I feel pretty bad.
Later: my god I feel horrible.
