What the hell are you talking about? I just searched newegg and there are no less than 30 1920x1200 monitors listed there. Sure, there aren't as many as the 1920x1080, but the premium market is smaller. Just like you won't find as many 300-399+ HP cars as you can find 200-299 HP cars.
There is no such thing as ECC RAM. The ECC (usually hamming) is performed by the memory controller. You can't just buy a stick of 72 pin DIMM and use that in any old PC. You have to have a memory controller that supports ECC. It should also be noted that this kills performance by increasing latency (decode and encode the ecc bits) and may also require read-modify-writes.
I think there is an adage that goes something like: there no such thing as bad publicity. I think both palm and apple are benefiting from this "quarrel."
Actually, Columbia University was originally located near Wall St and Broadway. It moved up to Midtown for more space, then in the early 20th century it moved to it's present location in the Upper West Side/Harlem/Morningside Heights area. I think Columbia would be the exception in your list. Another fun fact is that it that Columbia University is the second biggest land owner in New York City, behind the Catholic church.
In this case, it might actually be a good thing Civilization Revolution has been scratched. That game is responsible for sucking away many hours of the night until you realize it's time to go to work.

Is this because he really hits his opponent very hard? According to engineers from the University of Manchester, the answer is a definitive yes. They showed that he packs a mighty punch by putting sensors in his punching bag. And they measured that he hits the target with an instantaneous force of about 400 kg. Not only he hits hard, but he is fast: the researchers clocked his movements at 32 mph (more than 50 kph). Hats off to Hatton, but I wouldn't like to meet him — at least on a ring... But read more for additional details and a picture of Ricky Hatton hitting his punching bag during training."
An anonymous reader writes: After being arrested for copyright infringement in 1999 during Operation Buccaneer, Hew Raymond Griffiths (the former leader of the infamous DrinkOrDie warez group) has finally been sentenced in the US to a 51 month prison term. As Griffiths has already spent the past 3 years in an Australian jail, he will only need to serve 15 months of this sentence in a US prison. Griffiths is a British national who was living in Australia at the time of the crime, but was controversially extradited to the US to face punishment. Other members of the warez community arrested in Operation Buccaneer have received punishments ranging from a slap on the wrist to 46 month prison terms.
