Re:So many creeps in the world
That's how sociopaths like Appelbaum or Assange..
Oh, so you know them personally?
No?, so you're a qualified psychologist who has personally assessed them?
No?, so you're basing your layman's assessment on what you've been told and read?
I see...Nobody accused Snowden of being a rapist or an overall asshole. You know why? Because he didn't harass, bully or walk over people for years
No, the reason they didn't throw any accusations of a sexual nature at him was they'd be bloody superfluous as they had him on treason, which is all they needed with the average USian being so indoctrinated in the 'my country, right or wrong' mindset, hyped up with the current paranoia, and,
a bonus from their viewpoint, as Snowden is in Russia they get to dust off the old 'commie enemy'
playbook as well. -
Re:Correction
Here's a webring site that may have something useful for you http://d.webring.com/hub?ring=reboot&list Yes, it was a great show, all right. Loved it, esp. in the 3rd season. Glad to see it's coming back, and that the fans have a say.

Re:I wonder
Yahoo has innovated alot more things then Google has, and bought less companies as well.
You obviously haven't been keeping count then. Yahoo buys everything it touches.
I think the numbers speak for themselves. Note that these lists are not official and therefore there may be omissions (I can spot one thing missing off Yahoo's list already, Webring, which was later spun off/sold again.

Sounds interesting, but they need not manufactureLooks like they could license this ARM style. There's a helluva lot of cross industry licensing, enforced by the ever popular Patent System.
As an aside, I guess I'll have to stop Gaff Taping my CPU into the socket.

Apple II Emu
Emulation links:

Images:
ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/
Whole bunch of other sites:
http://e.webring.com/hub?ring=apple2
There used to be a really good one out there I used as a resource when I was trying to figure out how to move the images from my PC through the serial port to my Apple //e to write them to the Disk II. If anyone remembers what I'm talking about please link under this post (it showed a boot screen on the homepage then it redirected to their homepage).
Thanks! Hope these links help.
Oh and of course if you want to buy old stuff (as I have done) there is always eBay (They suck by the way because they used to have an Apple II section but it's gone now.) -

Re:The real reason most companies don't use it...
That about sums it up. Most corporations are not in the software business; they have IT staff, but not programming and development staff....just guys that maintain and secure the servers and networks.
Most corporations are not in the car business, still I prefer to have a choice who can fix my car. You know how expensive are even the simplest things in brand authorized car service companies, now only imagine how much more expensive would it be if you were not even allowed to fix your car anywhere else.
These guys aren't going to desk-check all the code for buffer overflows and the like, they just want to install it, configure it, and apply security patches that the software developers wrote.
That's funny, because that's exactly what I do with my Debian boxes. Well, almost. I install them, configure, and I don't apply security patches, I just run apt-get upgrade.
Don't fool yourself, you don't have to check for buffer overflows when you use Debian and you don't have to check for buffer overflows when you use Windows (well, you can't anyway, so let's just say you don't have to). The difference is when you want to customize the software.
To customize IIS you have to hire Microsoft (good luck with that). To customize Apache you can hire someone from The Apache Software Foundation, you can hire someone from Apache Support Webring, you can hire someone from Covalent Technologies, Red Hat, Thawte, Dana Point Communications, or you can hire me - as we all have the source, we all know the internal API and we all have a right to customize Apache.
You can even use one of your guys that maintain and secure the servers and networks if the customizations you need are easy enough. Remember how Apache httpd internals are deigned. The most fancy customization is usually just a simple mod_perl module.
The same is with ASP versus Perl, MS-SQL versus MySQL, MSVC++ versus GCC, et cetera. Using free software is smarter from the business standpoint than using proprietary software, it's only the transition that's difficult, once you've got into the mess of proprietary file formats, protocols and "standards".

Well if you want to get your own...There are afew companies out there that will sell you used Swiss Army Trucks. You can get your own Unimog or Steyr-Puch Pinzgauer.
Here are two links to start you own search for such a beast.
I know most of you think I'm nuts but I just would love to own this one.
