		<description><![CDATA[SHALL WILL SHOULD MUST MAY

You see these terms in software requirements documents all the time.  There is even an RFC that defines them.  Unfortunately, RFC 9119 is poor practical advice.

		<description><![CDATA[ Tools, Tools (Ad Nausium) [sic.]

&#8220;There are problems with the many-tools-hacked-together approach that adds an odd balance to it.&#8221;

I thought this ad was cute when I first saw it.  However, the second time it popped up on my web browser I realized something wasn&#8217;t quite right.

Dice is a website for job postings.  They ran this ad on SourceForge looking for Java programmers who are on the market.  The thing is, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I added some tips for using Cygwin to the Cygwin entry at Wikibooks.  I&#8217;m going to repeat them here for my own reference and the benefit of other Cygwin users.
