Do you mean that old type of memory which used ferrite rings to store data
using
3 wires to address, read and write the data. I had one of these boards when
I was
training about 10 years ago (It had long failed to work by the time I saw it
though).
It was great fun looking at it on a microscope to see the individual rings.
Bit limited on storage space though - about 1k each side of a pc-motherboard
sized
PCB.

Exactly - if for example NT sold 3x as many copies as linux then linux could
still
be used by 3x as many users as NT - 1 NT sale = 1 NT Install, 1 Linux sale
could
be anything between 1 and 200 Linux installs and that's ignoring Magazine
cover
giveaway versions and web downloads.

<sigh>
It's like no one actually listens to what I say. They're so foaming
at the mouth they pick out a few words and go on that.
I never said the links I posted were the end-all be all. It was merely
to illustrate that SSH IS NOT perfect and has flaws and there doesn't
seem to be a large effort by the SSH or OpenSSH folks to make sure
that people running SSH have the latest updates.
It is my opinion (and apparently that of other security folks) that
security software must be held to a higher standard and part of
distributing security software is ensuring that users always have
the latest updates and patches rather than just posting them
passively to a site somewhere.

True, but that there _was_ a war in Belgium in the first place was not
due to those treaties. In fact, it was a direct violation of them.

s/Holland/the Netherlands/. There is more to the Netherlands than just
Holland; calling us Holland is even worse than calling Great Britain
England. Don't do it, or I shall have to resort to calling you a Walloon
;->.

Though, mind you, the Netherlands managed to remain neutral in WWI. Of
course, as WWII showed, this was only because nobody _wanted_ to invade
us...

You wanna know the most amazing thing about core memory...
Most of it was assembled in factories specifically set up to employ
