On (1): Is it possible that the code base is so poor that getting it 64-bit clean is big deal? On (3): It's a nightmare now.

No word on whether or not they've used the 64-bit update as an opportunity to address the near continuous stream of exploits that they seem to have built into their products.

I had something like this happen - except for the 'fatally' part of course. I was in a canoe race on a cold spring day in cold water. At the beginning of the race I ended up jumping into the river in waste deep water. My jeans stayed wet th

Ford didn't do this to be nice. He did it because: "we can get at least as great production in five days as we can in six" Smart man. By working them shorter hours, he could work them harder.

Correct - Yahoo and others put the IP address of the client that sent the mail in the SMTP headers. Example: Received: from [x.x.x.x] by web113916.mail.gq1.yahoo.com via HTTP; Fri, 07 May 2010 18:59:00 PDT In this test case, x.x.x.x is my c

The article describes home computing of that era quite well. 64k of RAM. Cassette vs floppy. Dot matrix vs daisy wheel. Makes me want to get the old DECmate II down from the attic & boot it up one more time.
