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

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.

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.
This is the robot that goes along with the Buck Rogers space trooper looking guys. Made by Ajax...
Kind of reminds me of C-3PO trying to get the Jawas attention on Tatooine .
But this line existed before Star Wars, strange :)

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!"
Ajax is settling in to the family like he has lived with us forever. He and I are learning sign language with a trainer once a week. He is very smart but does like to rearrange the counters. He never destroys anything...just enjoys redecorating. I adore him!

Ajax, our Jack Russell, loves carrying sticks, being photographed, and pretending to be a human being at the dinner table... He was being unusually quiet when I took this photo, normally he's running around your legs yapping at you when he's out on a walk!

This is an example of the customization possibilities present in Microsoft's oft-forgotten "Active Desktop." The center cover art is dynamic, and changes with the current song...
the backbone is a php script that checks a "covers" folder for an existing cover, and if it does not find one, attempts to pull one down from "album art exchange." The script then uses GD to resize and save the new cover.
the data for song title is provided by an AMIPS text file, making this compatible with winamp, foobar, iTunes, and many other players that support the AMIPS plugin.
The Front end is an AJAX html file that queries every 3 seconds to check for a change in album.
The last thing to note: I threw this together as a proof of concept in less than 2 hours.
