He was charged with "bias intimidation", NOT a "hate crime". The judge made the distinction between the two during the sentencing. I'm surprised the judge didn't throw the book at him in regards to the witness tampering and destruction of evidence charges after that lecture.
Yeah, thats why my grandmother watches CSI: Miami and NCIS. Matlock, Murder She Wrote, and Burke's Law aren't in syndication rotation that much anymore.
Despite it being pretty old, Vundo is still alive and well, just in a slightly different variant every couple of months. I suspect it will become less common over time as people finally move to Windows 7 as most will be using the 64bit version, which Vundo can't really infect (it injects code into running system processes, which must be 32bit). Macs were targeted, and it seemed to be pretty effective (and profitable) host for malware.
Because 98% of panel production is for HDTVs these days, the smaller ones of which are..... 1366x768. Manufacturers are just taking advantage of volume production to keep costs down.
StyleTap (a PalmOS emulator) has been ported to iOS, but requires jail breaking. There are a ton of Windows Mobile 6.5 and Symbian devices out there to run StyleTap though. An android port would likely be pretty popular if they ever released one. The biggest issue with input on modern phones is the capacitive touch screen. PalmOS was designed with a stylus in mind and input precision isn't something capacitive screens do well.
CRTs can last much longer then 20 years. Still plenty of working 1970s TVs out there that have received ZERO service and repairs. 1960s TVs are a bit flaky, but a full recap usually does the trick with those. Mind you, those capacitors that are marginal/failed are over 50 years old, not 5 years old.
Those ISA equipped Socket 775 boards are very expensive, like $250-300 or so. Even then, they aren't 100% compatible, as they won't do DMA. So don't bother trying out your old Soundblaster on one because it won't work. There is also a company that makes a USB to ISA bridge adapter. They even went a step further and provided a custom build of DOSBox with support for the ISA slot.
The heater in the CRT was on all the time in "instant on" sets. If the TV had a hybrid or tube chassis, most of the heaters on the tubes would be left on too. The advent of solid state electronics killed off the whole concept. While the old tube chassis TVs took up to a minute to warm up, solid state sets only needed a few seconds for the CRT to warm up.
Upgrading from a P4 machine to a rig equipped with a AMD Socket AM2+ era CPU noticeably dropped the electric bill at the house and the old machine wasn't even a Prescott! Those P4 and Socket A era machines were real power hogs due to Intel and AMD one-upping each other in CPU speed without much regard to power use.
The speed increases and jump in any rankings can be attributed to Fios. Prior to 2007, broadband was pretty lousy in NJ. Comcast was slow crap... ever since @Home imploded back in December of 2001. I had faster service with them back in 1997 then I had from 2001 to 2007! Cablevision's Optimum Online was always the fastest in those days, basically 8/1Mbit service.
Whats the old saying? "If you can't dazzle them with your brilliance, baffle them with your BS." Worked for me through high school and college on those silly assignments. Make some crazy theory up, make sure the paper meets the checklist of requirements for the writing assignment and you get a good grade... even if they can't figure out what the heck you were talking about.
It really was the first of its kind. Yes, Osbourn had a "portable" computer, which stretched the definition heavily, but the Model 100, well it was pretty much the first laptop.
The Epson HX-20 got there first in 1981. Granted the screen wasn't as big, but the overall package is similar. It even has a built in printer and an optional micro cassette recorder for data storage. It even featured dual CPUs (one main CPU, the other handled I/O) at a whopping 0.6Mhz. The later PX-4 and PX-8 had a bigger screen and ran CP/M.
Could be worse, how about 1.6MB GCR formatted 3.5" HD floppies? Applied Engineering made such a drive for the Apple IIgs. It didn't require any controllers since it used the onboard IWM chip. Instead of the 800k DSDD disks it normally uses, the AE drive also wrote 1600k DSHD disks using GCR. Neat trick, but a nightmare for data recovery, although Tony Diaz (in the linked pictures and who provided a lot of Apple II hardware for this task) should have a few of the drives and the GS/OS driver.

It could be worse, like a DJ trampling over the vocals of a song with a voice over. Seems pretty common in Europe from what I've heard.
Those trailer breaks are likely where the commercials get inserted when the shows air on BBC America/Canada.
Then run an internal IPv4 network, nothing is stopping you from running dual stacks.

Wouldn't DigiNotar be a good example of that so called "trust"?
"Close enough for government work"
That's something Scott Thompson can actually put on his resume now.
Gotta pay those "Social Media Strategists" (Web 2.0's numero uno BS job title) you know.

I tend to agree. The Windows Phone is the best one out there right now. It's not a popularity contest for me, unlike with so many others.
No its about what, ironically, Ballmer said best "Developers!, Developers!, Developers!".... and the applications they create.

Buy a car with a manual transmission. No crank, but you can push it to start it if needed.

It would hopefully force those "social media specialists" to find a new job. What a BS job title!

Amazon currently doesn't have a NJ warehouse and doesn't charge sales tax. Thats likely to change soon and Amazon is trying to get a sales tax holiday http://www.nj.com/business/index.ssf/2012/03/if_nj_legislature_doesnt_amazo.html

I had teachers in both middle school and high school who couldn't figure out how to press play on a VCR. This was 15 years ago.
