This is an other point for those who want to run this in a *nix environment... Since the applet runs at the same priority as Firefox, it get's a little skippy when Firefox does, well, just about anything... If you want to listen without the skipping, you could do this:
sudo -H nice --adjustment=-19 firefox
and use that instance of firefox only for Pandora... this should prevent most or, hopefilly, all skipping.
Okay, so I didn't read TFWikpediaA, but I've used Nessus lots, and never had it create a DoS or system crash... as you configure it it makes it quite clear that certain tests can cause these problems and you have to be extremely explicit in your configuration of a pen-test to enable those modules... It's important that they be there so that you can setup a sandbox and really try to knock the lights out of your servers, but if someone runs these same modules on a production box with vulnerabilities they kindof deserve what they get, no?
Actually, I decided to read TFWA before posting anyway, and it clearly states:
Some of Nessus's vulnerability tests can cause vulnerable services or operating systems to crash. The user is provided with the option to disable these "unsafe tests."
So there you have it... it'd be a bad idea, imho, to remove said modules, because they are valuable to some people in some circumstances, and if you're simply not paying attention and enable them carelessly maybe you'll learn from your mistake when your network goes up in smoke!
Yep, we use firefox and no matter how often I tell my wife she can type into the location bar either "www.favoritesite.com" or even just "favoritesite" she always goes to Google (and usually puts in www.favoritesite.com to get a link to, of course, www.favoritesite.com)
She's quite bright, but once traied to use a search engine, she doesn't seem willing to try to learn a new way...
And on the home-gaming front there was Vectrex!
(Oh wait, that was pretty-much a failure, wasn't it? Although if I could have afforded one I'd have gotten it.)
If I didn't think it was extremely hypocritical to complain about posts that have nothing to add except yelling "Dupe!" I might say something about how annoying they are.
Oh, did I say that out-loud? Damn!
(Hey, at least you did your footwork and gave a link to prior article, instead of just bitching and moaning though!)
Something I want to know, is have astro-physicists tried to account for all of the photons zinging around the universe? If they behave as both wave and particle, then do they have mass? If they have mass, are they quantified in the calculations of the mass of the universe?
Wouldn't it be ironic if the "dark matter" were actually light?
Well then, that nervous person, and any others that missed said flight will be thanking their lucky stars that they missed an opportunity to be a victim of a terrorist, I suppose, even if they did become a victim of some beurocrat's stupidity.....

And just how do we know that the 360 won't be plagued with the "dirty disk" issues of the Xbox Beta(tm)? I've sent mine back to the factory for refurbishing, and just recently had it "cleaned" by a game store down the street, but even so it has always complained about perfectly clean game disks and DVDs...
(And I haven't been able to find out.. will the 360 support VCD?)
I'll get one if I can play play my old Xbox games and DVDs without the continuous "dirty disk" problems though.

I can't say about the news feed subscription, but when it comes to the Google search they've implemented something that they refer to (oddly enough) as "stemming" which if you enter *either* cell or cells the engine actually searches for *both*
Perhaps you are intentionally being glib in your reply, but it still leaves the impression that you are missing the point, or rather two very big points (and since you were modded "insightful" I'll assume that even if you *were* being intentionally glib there are those who've read your post and agree with your remarks as if they were relevant) --
1) China is developing at a rapid pace -- if things continue on the present course they'll be the worlds biggest eco-disaster no matter what scale you measure by... probably in as little as a generation or two.
2) If everyone in the States multiplied until there were more than a billion citizens, and if the lifestyles remained as they are now, then the States would be an even bigger eco-disaster than China might ever hope to be.
The bottom line, is this is an interesting development from the China, and hopefully it's a move of substance more than a political show.
Even if you're too cheap to buy PGP (like me, for example) you can still run it on MSWindows under Cygwin. If you have a 2k or 4k encryption key it's not likely that anyone will be able to hack your private files:)

When I worked for GTEI about half of us in production sysadmin had our own cubicoffices -- they were itsy-bitsy, but it was still far better than prairie-dog land.... I managed to get one because I was willing to take the one that had a structural pillar in the middle of it.
(Meanwhile the SitePatrol(tm) admins were in cubicles in a moderately high-traffic area.)
Actually, wouldn't that be a minimum of 6 hops? Each router needs to guess the best next-hop, and that really opens the door to an inadvertent looping function in the protocol - how could we address this?

From my point of view, as a non-college-educated brute, the phrase:
Hopefully, he left on Tuesday -- does indeed seem to indicate that he was in a hopeful state upon his departure, whereas, if you want to imply that the hope is with the speaker, a small change in the punctuation helps to make the point:
Hopefully he left on Tuesday.
In version 1.0 the comma implies the adverb is directed toward the subject, whereas the lack of comma in version 2.0b implies the adverb is directed at the speaker.
I want to highlight the sometimes subtle bias in science reporting presuming all-new == much-better.

It's hard to say, because you're non-specific, but I will assume that the $100.00/hour is going to the agency that placed said contractors. In that event, the absolute max you might expect them to be taking home would be $50.00/hour, but it's probably closer to $30.00
I did some contract work where the client was paying $350.00/hour for my services, but I didn't get any bonus or any other special gratitude -- I just kept getting my $80,000.00/year salary and the "pleasure" of working for a week without sleep because I had to do my site work on the graveyard shift and had to spend all of my daytimes in meetings, both with the client and with the firm that placed me there.
That's the catch -- you can be your own boss and half your income goes to taxes and insurance, or you can work for an agency and they take half your income to pay for taxes and insurance (plus a little skim, of course) and then you *do* have a boss telling you when/where you're going to be working each week.
So, do you have the aptitude and drive to be your own sales team and accountant? or do you want to pay someone else to do it for you?

According to an article here at /. if you don't have a home theatre you get mono audio (oh boy!) and they still haven't incorporated VCD support....
I'm also still waiting to see if this new system has the trouble of disk-read errors that plague the Xbox beta(tm)....

Interesting numbers, but what are you paying annually for health insurance, dental, and vision? (And what vicinity do you live in?)
It's hard to say, because you're non-specific, but I will assume that the $100.00/hour is going to the agency that placed said contractors. In that event, the absolute max you might expect them to be taking home would be $50.00/hour, but it's probably closer to $30.00

That's the catch -- you can be your own boss and half your income goes to taxes and insurance, or you can work for an agency and they take half your income to pay for taxes and insurance (plus a little skim, of course) and then you *do* have a boss telling you when/where you're going to be working each week.
