Thanks to Jon, we are now aware of the WAVE site. His article mentions that Pinkerton operates 800+ anonymous tip lines and that they are not the only ones to do so. My question is; what are the other sites? Forewarned is forearmed. If I know that there is a site for reporting XYZ then I can choose to do (or not do) XYZ OR better yet, do something (like Jon did) about altering or shutting down the site. If all the other sites were out in the open, like WAVE is now, then this same discussion could be had about them also. Pinkerton is at least a well known entity. Some of these other sites could be run by some organization with less ethics. Who knows what may happen to all the data they collect. Even bad information is power.
Damn Straight! My Bendix G15 had drum, tubes and real core. You could heat the house with the thing and when you turned it on again it would start right back up at the last instruction it was executing with out any battery backed up memory.
The alpha is little endian because it's grandfather (the PDP-11) and its father (the vax) were little endian. It has nothing to do with the X86. See www.op.net/docs/RFCs/ien-137 about the holy wars between big and little endian (back when the X86 was a gleem in the 4004 and 8008's eye's.
