The MIM-3 Nike Ajax was the world's first operational surface-to-air missile (SAM). Designed to intercept high-altitude aircraft, the vehicle consisted of a solid-propellant booster and a liquid-fueled upper stage. The first Nike Ajax flew at White Sands Proving Ground (now White Sands Missile Range), New Mexico in 1951 and was operational from 1954 to 1963. The more advanced Nike Hercules replaced the Ajax.

Launcher on loan from NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center, Wallops Flight Facility, Wallops Island, VA
Length 34 feet, 10 inches (10.6 meters)
Diameter 12 inches (30.5 cm)
Weight 2,455 pounds (1,114 kg)
Range 30 miles (48 km)
Speed Mach 2.3 (1,710 mph/2,760 km/h @ 50,000 ft.)
Altitude Limit 70,000 feet (21,336 meters)
Fun Fact: The lower portion of the rocket, the Nike solid fuel booster 1st stage, provided 59,000 Ibs. (262.4 kn) of thrust for just 3 seconds. This short burst of thrust pushed the one ton missile up through the sound barrier

HMS Ajax was the third of four King George V-class dreadnought battleships built for the Royal Navy in the early 1910s. After commissioning in 1913, she spent the bulk of her career assigned to the Home and Grand Fleets. Aside from participating in the failed attempt to intercept the German ships that had bombarded Scarborough, Hartlepool and Whitby in late 1914, the Battle of Jutland in May 1916 and the inconclusive Action of 19 August, her service during World War I generally consisted of routine patrols and training in the North Sea.
After the war, Ajax was assigned to the Mediterranean Fleet, where she took part in the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War in the Black Sea in 1919–1920. The ship was deployed to Turkish waters during the Chanak Crisis of September–October 1922. Ajax was placed in reserve in 1924 before being sold for scrap two years later in accordance with the terms of the Washington Naval Treaty.
According to the standard catalog of Farm Tractors, the Ajax Auto Traction Company was in business around 1912 and closing shortly after that. Some google searching came up with dates of 1909-1912, and also a picture of a No 2 tractor. No information on how many were made or if any still exist.

Odysseus:
Nie sah sie solchen. Ich beklag ihn tief
Im tiefsten Elend, ist er auch mein Feind,
Da er in solches böses Los verstrickt,
Und seh in seinem Bild mein eigenes,
Denn daß wir Sterblichen nur Bilder sind
Und leere Schatten, hab ich jetzt erkannt.
------------------------------------------------
Personne, à la vérité. J’ai pitié de ce malheureux,
bien qu’il soit mon ennemi,
parce qu’il est en proie à une destinée mauvaise,
et je songe à la mienne autant qu’à la sienne,
car nous ne sommes, nous tous qui vivons,
rien autre chose que des images et des ombres vaines.

This slide is from Danny Alan's talk on XSS. I've read about the various JavaScript remoting attacks, but it was impressive to actually watch him paste a simple script tag into an insecure form, then later (from a remote host) play back the compromised browser's session, including cookies, keys pressed (including passwords), all the HTML retrieved by the browser, and details about the browser's history.
Another disturbing thought: JavaScript can talk to the Java VM via an applet. The Java VM knows the NAT address of the host machine on the internal network. If the router password and IP are known (most users leave these set to factory defaults) then JavaScript can fill out and submit any of the Web forms that control the router. So it's theoretically possibly to compromise a router with JavaScript.
The demo of Ajax XSS attacks and exploits, had the best quote of the day, as well: "Oops! I accidentally hit the Back button and canceled my attack!"
