On the C64 you had to move the ROM out of the way to get to the RAM underneath. I don't remember the exact details but you could either see the RAM or the ROM and it was controllable.

If you want to get into memory expanders the C64 had at least a 512K ram expander available. I remember having one and it worked with GEOS at least.. might have been used as a form of ram drive to speed up games as well.

The drive drive was a computer in itself that you could buy ram expanders for and run programs on. Typically used for increasing load speed or duplicating copy protected disks.

You do realize the Kindle reads PDFs as well.

I have a Kindle Keyboard (Wi-Fi) and all I have to do is copy the PDF over into the documents folder via the USB cable.

He is the Chairman of the Board and was representing the company during the annual shareholders meeting.
That doesn't fit the whole he doesn't really work there anymore statement.

You hit the nail on the head. The primary reason for that is once you have someone hired it is exceedingly hard to get rid of them. You only have to be burned badly once before you only want excellent candidates instead of good enough candidates.

Yes because that couldn't be exploited at all..

What's that? The malware/trojan/root kit installed it's own root-certs and is running a proxy listening on 127.0.0.1:80 and 127.0.0.1:443?
That proxy is snarfing up all the data and shipping it off to some other server...

Just because you can't imagine how it could be abused doesn't mean it can't be abused.

No not forever.. The record so far is 14 years http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._Beatty_Chadwick

John Titor would be the person to help you out with that.
