I've seen ghosting on some dell lcd monitors at school when scrolling down but never what you experience "input lag". Nothing like scrolling through a text file and trying to read it while ghosting is apparent as hell.
Actually if you RTFA you'll see that they filter HTTP GET requests using packet sniffing... then they just send a reset packet effectivily killing access.
Subset of hackers...I doubt that...I've recently seen a discussion about this whole thing (I am sorry but i am unable to give you an URL) where a "hacker" a white hat, was interviewed and he discussed this (or somewhere on that topic). So I don't really know if they are necessarily a subset I believe that they are their own set of people, of course crackers and hackers have a lot of skills in common given. I guess it's all a matter of opinion as to where you stand on all of this. For one I like to think that "crackers" are people that break into server for whatever purposes and hackers are those who use the knowledge that have not for harmful purposes ( as crackers) but to help society (and by society I don't mean the ignorant fools out there who say "ohh nobody is going to hack me what are they going to see my documents and steal my MP3s" I mean the...computer society (lack of a better name right now)). That is my opinion.
Actually... hackers are people who use clever techniques to improve code (or modify it for whichever purpose. The meaning of the word is usually a good one till society today dirtied it and made it "malicious people who break into servers") and programs in general. Now crackers are not the people who remove copyright protection...although the "cracking" of the program can be referred to as hacking code or whichever variation of the expression... Cracking is breaking into servers without prior consent from the owner or administrator. So the problem is not with semantics it's with what you (or should I say what most people) think a cracker and what a hacker or such things. A good knowledge of these things is never a bad thing.

"hotmail loses customer files" - I ask you do you really want an OS coded by these people?
