Then Nessus becomes closed source - Golem.de:
The biggest change for Nessus 3, however, is the license. While Nessus has been developed and offered as open source under the GPL so far, version 3 will no longer be published under the GPL. Although the software will continue to be offered for free, even for Windows, the source code will no longer be published.
And a security scanner for which the source is not available is simply nonsense and snake oil. Because tools in the security field urgently need the peer review that is absolutely common for open source software in this area.
Pragmatic Ajax is a book (currently in beta - you can pre-order and get the betas as PDF) about Ajax and all the surrounding stuff. The Pragmatic Bookshelf books are usually quite pragmatic (aha) and pleasant to read, so it might be worth it.
If I understand Dave Winer's ramblings correctly, he has sold weblogs.com and other infrastructure to Verisign (yes, confirmation from Verisign).
Which makes weblogs.com completely dead and uninteresting to me, because everything Verisign touches turns to shit. Not to mention I don't trust the company as far as I can spit - they have their dirty fingers in too many internet topics (and are all too concerned about expanding their already absurd monopoly in some areas).
Well, today you ping via Ping-O-Matic anyway - this way pings also go out much broader, also to more sensible services. Apart from that, weblogs.com was already pretty unusable because it simply lacked the necessary performance. Which is no wonder if you choose the wrong software base for such services (nothing against Frontier, but it's simply unusable for this).
