DEC co-founder Ken Olsen dies at 84

"Olsen, a multi-millionaire in an era where there were far fewer such wealthy entrepreneurs than there are today, was known to drive a modest car around town and do his own grocery shopping. I also recall him having a surprisingly plain office for a man who was leading a technology revolution; and being gracious enough to carve out time to speak with young local reporters like me as well as the national business press.

Hack-proof and crash resistant - have you discovered the OS world's best-kept secret?

"There are clusters out there with uninterrupted service uptimes in excess of 15 years, even if individual machines have been occasionally rebooted, upgraded or replaced. That is a far cry from today's "reboot and restart" culture, where users seem willing to tolerate disruption to service - indeed, they have come to expect it. If only they were aware there is a better way. OpenVMS is one of the industry's best-kept secrets - those in the know would not consider using anything else for business-critical systems."
