Â If you have more than 1 Dashboard widget, you will probably have more than one dashboardclient startup when you run Dashboard.

Security? I don’t need to be secure… Do I?
Why does your Information Technology team tell you not to turn on that Web server, or leave SSH turned on when your not using it? Â Because they want you to be secure… Here’s a perfect example… Mar 30 16:14:06 68 sshd[2933]: Did not receive identification string from 96.10.82.114 Mar 30 16:21:57 68 com.apple.SecurityServer[24]: checkpw() returned […]
