You seem to have no understanding of the law when it comes to political fundraising. Political speech is ALWAYS the most protected because politicians make the laws.
I would certainly hope that the government would be able to prove this through other means -- like the IP logs. But if you peruse the affidavit submitted by the FBI to arrest Adrian Lamo, you begin to wonder. The affidavit is rife with references to articles written by Security Focus reporter Kevin Poulsen, and MSNBC.com's Sullivan, as their principal "evidence" of Lamo's guilt.
He's an alleged criminal. So far that claim has not been proven in court, and from the sound of it the FBI can't prove it. They're hoping the court will believe hearsay evidence coerced out of a reporter. "Yes, he told me he did it." "There, your Honor, what further proof do you need?"
If you're a journalist without integrity, then you're not a journalist, and no respectable publication will hire you. So by maintaining your integrity you're preserving your career. Get it? No? Then you're obviously not a journalist.
Looks good, but it left me with an un-answered question: Is USB one of the things it extends (along with VGA, Keyboard, etc.), or do the two units communicate over USB? They imply the latter, but they say it uses CAT5 wire. They lost me.
Not to be flip, but why not try it yourself? Surely you have a Windows PC with at least one USB port, so give it a go. From personal experience when I unplug most USB devices Windows gives a warning that I should have told it first, but Windows doesn't crash. You might also try two keyboards (one in each of two USB ports) to see if you don't need to unplug the remote keyboard to use a local one (I'm sure you can find PCs with two USB ports and use one for local, the other for remote).
As for how far you can go, I would think VGA is your limiting factor, not USB.
The judge thinks by favoring one group over another the law violates the 1st Amendment. The solution to this "problem" is simple: ban all calls by anybody.
Oh, wait, the politicians won't pass a law like that, will they?
PC-104 motherboards are expensive for what you get, because of the small numbers produced. I'm sure these VIA boards will sell for 1/3 to 1/4 the cost of a PC-104 motherboard of equivalent power.
Geeze, I still have a 5 1/4" drive, to play one game with copy protection that requires the original disk. It's also gotta be drive A:! Yeah, I know -- but it's a fun game and I have not found a "crack" that works. Not to mention all the data I have on diskette that I'm too busy to copy onto CDs.
Hell, I still have a couple of 8" floppy drives; I don't use them, but I can't bear getting rid of them. Maybe someday I'll build a funky PC with one each of every size disk... the only things holding me back are time and money.
What pressure? This isn't a government report, it's an industry report, done by a bunch of Microsoft's competitors. MS will dismiss it as sour grapes, and the government will look at the cost of switching to Macs (the only non-Windows platform available, since Dell doesn't sell anything but Windows XP) and conclude that Bill's right, this so-called expert report is just Gates-bashing at it's worst.
Remember, this is the Bush administration we're talking about. Besides, the CIA and the Army are probably telling Bush that if we promote Windows (i.e., continue to use it for all government desktops) then our enemies are more likely to adopt it as well, leaving them open to attack by us.

There was a show on some cable channel just last week where they had some experts help a couple fix up their New York place so it would look nice so they could sell it. It was half the size of our house and they were asking something like four times what our place is worth. Not to mention we live on five acres and they share their building with -- what? -- 50-100 other people? Naturally it's a different lifestyle, I'm not arguing that. It's the price for that lifestyle that gets me. I wouldn't have a car in NYC either (the garage doesn't count toward the house's square footage) but we still need room for our stuff. In NYC with half the space we have now, we'd just have bedrooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom. And all for only 3-4 times what our current house costs! Joel's fancy office isn't enough to make me interview, let alone move.

if it means we can hire from the 99.9 percentile instead of the 99 percentile, it'll be worth it.
Sorry, Joel, but it'll take much more than your fancy new office to entice that 0.9 percent to move to New York City. I mean, it's a nice place to live and I really wouldn't mind moving there, but you've gotta pay me three times what I make now just so I can afford a place half as big as where I live now. No thanks, Joel. Not even if you stop calling us idiots for supporting Open Source.

You're close. The way to fix it is to forbid people (i.e., customers) from doing business with spammers. Order viagra online and go to jail!

VIA is a company. A company is a collection of PEOPLE, not a PERSON. "The people of VIA has removed..." is wrong, thus "VIA has removed..." is wrong.
Stupid Yanks.
Workstations, really? Or servers? And if they don't advertise them, how can anyone buy them?
