Christmas Challenge: Day 24

[Chippiewill]

So today's format is a little different, there'll be multiple parts throughout the day. You earn points. First person with all correct answers to a single bit gets five points, second gets four, third gets three fourth gets two and everyone after that gets one.

Person with the most points wins 2 months of VIP and the person in second gets one month. Both will also win a massive 16 rep each.

The first part is computing Acronyms. Just tell me the full version of all the acronyms below. PM me your answers. There may be a few tricks in there, and if in doubt I mean the version which is related to the acronyms around it rather than the normal one. Also they're all technology related.. well, except one which is kinda a tangent.
