		<description><![CDATA[So I pretty much live in screen permanently these days, and there are a gazillion awesome introductions out there to screen that describe the amazing advantages of screen.

		<description><![CDATA[So as host, ping, nslookup, dig etc don&#8217;t use the same resolver path as the rest of the OS, we used to always use lookupd for this.
It&#8217;s not exactly the most obvious solution in the world, but since lookupd, netinfod and memberd were all rolled into DirectoryService in 10.5, we now use dscacheutil to do [...]]]></description>

Exhibit A:

2007-11-21 13:12:04.288 defaults[97501:10b]
Domain com.apple.loginwindow.plist does not exist
/ $ defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow
(snip actual working output)
Exhibit B:

/Library/Preferences $ defaults read ./com.apple.loginwindow.plist
2007-11-21 13:13:24.327 defaults[97540:10b]

		<description><![CDATA[So last night I experienced my first earthquake ever&#8230;.
Considering it was a 5.6 and quite close to our house, I&#8217;m a little disappointed now that it wasn&#8217;t more dramatic&#8230; nothing even fell off the shelves. Just several huge thumps that felt like something dropped from a great height into the backyard.
Not to give any impression [...]]]></description>
