And this, via a comment in your link, is a cool example of what can be done in OS X because Objective C is a late-binding dynamic language: it's a third-party fix that works by overriding a method a run time to add a check for suspicious domain names.
Unlike the default font, OS X's current Courier only contains Latin characters -- no Cyrillic, Greek, or other possible "look-alikes" that could be used to spoof a domain name. So instead of, say, a Cryillic "o" that looks exactly like a Latin "o", you'll either a blank or a box or a different font.
Perl is a very powerful language to write small tools in the UNIX philosophy.
IHBT, right?
It was intended to subvert the Unix philosophy. More specifically, it was intended to subvert that part of Unix philosophy that said that every tool should do only one thing and do that one thing well. -- Larry Wall
Not new. If you're going to have character codes for the likes of ο and о -- slashdot won't let me include the actual characters -- you've got to realize that they both look a lot like o. (I've misused this a couple of times, not for phishing, but to hide words from search engines.)
So, are people grateful that Unicode's Unified CJK has prevented thousands of similar phishing possibilities? Guess.

I might be losing my mind again, but I'm not aware of any VAX called 2100. There are little VAXlets numbered 2000 and 3100, but not 2100. There's a DECstation 2100, which is MIPS rather than VAX, and an Alpha (or AXP) 2100, which is, well, Alpha rather than VAX.
WinNT has its roots in Mica, which was DEC's project to build a successor to VMS:
Amid suspicions of intellectual property theft, DEC eventually sued Microsoft, citing that Cutler and his Mica team had actually continued the same project within Microsoft, culminating in the birth of the Windows NT OS. After Microsoft settled the case with DEC for $150 million, inside sources alleged that large quantities of NT's code (and even most of the programmer's comments) were identical to
Mica's.
Should Apple reduce its price on any shipped product within 10 calendar days of shipment, you may contact Apple Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775 to request a refund or credit of the difference between the price you were charged and the current selling price.
Orders that haven't shipped yet automatically get the current price.
The missing piece of the puzzle is the commands systemsetup and networksetup. These are the only non-GUI way to administer certain things, and they are not included in plain OS X, only Server. However they are free downloads from Apple, though in a slightly roundabout way, as detailed on Mac OS X Hints: they are inside ARDAgent.app in the Apple Remote Desktop 2.1 Client.
In ASCII, control-H is back space and control-J is line feed (which, for the young whippersnappers here, means feed the paper through to the next line, i.e. move the cursor down). A popular terminal of the time, the Lear Siegler ADM-3A, used, in addition to those, control-K to move the cursor up and control-L to move it right. The ADM-3A also labelled the H,J,K,L keys with arrows to match their control functions. Since those keys had arrows marked on them, it was not entirely unreasonable for vi to make the actions match the labels.
(Similarly, some of EMACS' oddities -- backspace brings up a help screen?!? -- make a little more sense when you understand that its authors had fancy custom keyboards and didn't concern themselves with the peons using ASCII.)
Actually, black-and-white monitors are now prohibitively expensive, due to lack of demand. This is unfortunate for two reasons. First, monochrome monitors don't suffer from colour fringing from dot beating or misconvergence. Second, if common video cards supported greyscale displays, we could have, roughly speaking, better resolution by a factor of sqrt(3) for the same price. In return for sharp 200dpi text I'd gladly leave behind cartoonish GUI "features" and even make do with greyscale pr0ns.

If the experiment is right, it is consistent with MWI; it only 'destroys' a straw-man misstatement of MWI.
Cassette tape interface, too.
Go out to get yourself in trouble.
The Prelinger Archives has two films explaining how to dial a phone: How to Use the Dial Phone from 1927, and the more modern "talkie" Dial Comes to Town.

There have been reports that Apple is moving toward resolution-independent display.

That's the DIMM slot along the top. There's no PCI slot.
I was going to buy one, but then I found out they didn't include a 20ma current loop. WTF? How do they expect me to connect my Teletype?!?
You might screw the tap in too far off the mark. (Assuming you didn't mean that new-fangled 10base2.)
(And while we're on the subject of Ethernet and standards that suck, how about that slide lock on the connector?)
Unfortunately there's no tech note for it yet.
You don't need Server to fully administer OS X without the GUI: enjoy.
