Unless you have genetalia in your head, they are putting the lead shield in the correct place. The areas of the body that are sensitive to the type of radiation emitted by xray equipment are reproductive organs, digestive organs, and blood producing organs in descending order. The lead shield that they give you covers just those parts of your body.
People are suggesting things above that are a bit too expensive. You are going to be doing things that do not require much overhead, so go with the smallest, cheapest VPS you can find that is hosted by a reasonable hosting provider. As long as everything you are doing is legal, I suggest the following from personal experience:
NQHost costs $6.95 per month. Virpus costs $4 per month, or $36 per year.
The difference is that you can install NQHost instances yourself, but Virpus does the installation for you. You get root on your server in both cases.
You shouldn't think of Naval Intelligence being only devoted to things involving ships and the sea. They are an intelligence service first. In fact, it was Navy research that led to the Tor network.
It is known fact that technology can be so much of a distraction that positive learning benefits can be far outweighed by the negatives of it being a distraction.
When "the industry" is in decline, do they mean the publishing/distribution houses are in decline? Or, are artists who have no middle-men and use digital downloads to bring their music straight from the musician to the listener also losing money or in a state of decline? If it is the former then FANTASTIC!
Doesn't look good. Is the problem that Flash is a moving target? Or is it difficult to reverse engineer features? I would imagine that getting the DRM right in Lightspark would be impossible, no?
Actually, I've found that it is not the plugin's problem here, it is the browser's plugin crash handling that is to blame. I can say that for as many versions back as I can remember since I started using Chrome, a plugin crash has never ever crashed the browser. It crashes the tab that is using the plugin, but you just close that tab and try again.
What browser are you using that crashes from a plugin crash?
I've often wondered how accurate of a fingerprint your selection of friends on a social network is. The reason I find this important is that I, like many people wish that I hadn't used my real name on any of my social networks. If I had been smart, I would have made an alias to at least make it slightly more difficult for the social network to pinpoint my real world identity.
But the damage is basically done, and this leads me to the reason I asked the question: knowing I can create a fake account through Tor, how many of my friends can I re-friend before the social network invisibly links my old and new account behind the scenes?
What I'm getting at here is if it is distributed with Chrome, can't we just download Chrome, and if Firefox implemented the API just use the Chrome plugin with Firefox? Basically reversing the way it is now. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the current Flash plugin a Firefox plugin that works through Chrome's implementation of Firefox's plugin API?
How does google implement the API? It seems to me like google-chrome is a single binary. The Adobe Flash Player would be distributed as part of the binary. How is this actually a plugin if you can't "unplug" it so-to-speak and have the Flash plugin as a discreet file?
I've included Swfdec, but as I understand it, this is for flash apps that you have created and know work with swfdec. It is not for random content from unknown sources. A use case for this is a kiosk where you control the content and the display.
Now, are the other two, Gnash and Lightspark, ready for primetime, i.e. can they replace Flash Player any time soon?
Personally, the last time I used either one was a few months ago when I toyed with the idea of trying to make my workstation fully open source. I found that many youtube videos made the plugin crash for both Gnash and Lightspark.
Since there is content right now that is made for Adobe's Flash Player, I feel that the way forward should be to stop creating new content for Flash. Let it die, and only create new content in HTML5. As for the existing content, the alternatives like the ones listed above need to be able to play need to be able to play it with no problems. I would even have no problem if there was new content developed with the alternative in mind rather than close source Flash Player.
One thing I would love for someone to explain is why are projects so worried about so-called churn in their repositories? To be honest, I would agree that documentation is something that is sorely needed. And when it isn't missing is typically a bit of a mess. But if you go and submit patches for documentation, devs tend to start whining about making too many changes and "repository churn". Personally, I would have though that the point of using a repository in the first place is so that you can have a developer commit their attempt at documentation then have others who are better at things like technical writing or even writing period come along behind and clean up what is there. Too many times I hear devs saying that docs only should have significant improvements and major error corrections. That going over a doc with a fine tooth comb and correcting all grammar, spelling, punctuation, and style mistakes will wake some mythical churn beast inside the repository that will eat everyone's code. The idea of keeping whitespace changes separate from content changes is clear, but that is only so that the translation teams can know what patches and changes they can safely ignore.
Laptops are not that expensive. If you're interested in doing something personal on a laptop go buy one and take it with you. Don't use company property for anything personal. If you have trouble with this, then you probably have problems with ethics in other areas of your work as well. Where do you draw the line?
Perhaps this is the sort of application that will finally push more people to use PGP. On of the main problems with PGP now is that so few people use it. Outside of my work, and the occasional other tech geek, nobody I know uses PGP. And they all should. Everyone should use PGP. It's like being the only person in the world with a fax machine. I hope that this is the type of application that finally pushes PGP over the hump into mainstream use.
I'm not particularly defending hypertext literature as a genre, but I think that your characterization of it is still colored by your being used to the methods of linear storytelling that a book's author uses. You mention merging "paths," and this implies a line from point A to point D with stops at points in between the two; that the content of one of those stops has to be "the next thing" after the one you just came from across a hyperlink. Why can't the two stops be unrelated to each other in a chronological, stepwise way. A passage could describe the look of a character's face and mention a scar on the person's nose. The word scar could be a hyperlink to a passage that jumps back to that character's childhood to the day that she got that scar. Or the connection could be more obscure, requiring the reader to think harder about what the connection is between two passages.
But on the other hand, perhaps the genre is dead because no good authors chose to use it as a medium, only crappy authors picked it up. Or as the article mentions, the genre's works of Shakespeare may be sitting on some person's hard drive waiting to be discovered in the future, they are simply hidden for the moment.
I've never drank coffee on a regular basis. I've drank maybe under 100 cups of coffee total in my entire life. I've never had a problem with drowsiness or alertness. I get a good amount of sleep at night and decent exercise. This is all you need.
Make sure that none of your service providers and organizations that you interact with send you paper based communication in the first place. Then use the round file for everything else. Why are you keeping these records anyway?
Yes, I would agree, and I would go a step further and generalize this into "News." It is not news in the sense of the evening news (even though these days, I learn what is going on in the world faster through my friends online presences than through any classic news source ever). I was reading facebook posts and making facebook posts literally while my house was shaking during the Virginia earthquake last year. I had news radio on, and the delay was about 5 minutes before something was said on there. In fact, there was a wikipedia entry for the earthquake moments after it happened.
Someone who listens to news radio all day wouldn't be called an addict, they would be called well informed. Therefore, someone who checks their internet based communications is the same. It's just more personal news rather than public news.

Well, Here's an example: Newgrounds.com. Flash games out the wazoo. In direct answer to your questions: Flash can run Orgasm Girl better than an app.

Is there something stopping Firefox from implementing the PPAPI? Perhaps this could become a new standard API for browsers across the board?
This move was not unexpected. We've been hearing things to this extent for a bit now.
This leaves a few questions. First of which is:
Are the open source alternatives ready for prime time? Correct me if I'm wrong but here is the list of the major alternatives:
I've included Swfdec, but as I understand it, this is for flash apps that you have created and know work with swfdec. It is not for random content from unknown sources. A use case for this is a kiosk where you control the content and the display.
Now, are the other two, Gnash and Lightspark, ready for primetime, i.e. can they replace Flash Player any time soon?

I know most of you are new here, and new to teh intertubes. But this is really old news. This decline began in September 1993.
You're new to the intertubes, huh? Lynx has been as unsafe as any browser from time to time.

I would say that DC is civilized.
