Submission + - Is Foxconn deliberatley sabotaging Linux? (ubuntuforums.org) 3

Anonymous Coward writes: "A user on the Ubuntu forums posted a thread questioning the practices of the hardware manufacturer, Foxconn. From the Thread:
"I disassembled my BIOS to have a look around, and while I won't post the results here,I'll tell you what I did find.
They have several different tables, a group for Windws XP and Vista, a group for 2000, a group for NT, Me, 95, 98, etc. that just errors out, and one for LINUX. The one for Linux points to a badly written table that does not correspond to the board's ACPI implementation."
The worst part is Foxconn's insistence that the product is ACPI compliant because their tables passed to Windows work, and that Microsoft gave the the magic WHQL certification."

What's it like being an anti-semite?

Do you wake up in the morning and blame the Evil Jews when you can't find your slippers? How about when you bang your toe? The Evil Zionist Conspiracy must have been lying in wait for just the right moment to smack you on your toe.

If you really think people in the west are focused on anything other than simply existing happily, I feel sorry for your worldview. There is no trans-national conspiracy in the West to keep the Arab down - in fact, I think you'd find that the West would gladly accept mainstream (i.e. from those not born or assimilated into a western culture) Arab culture if the largest Arab countries would stop stealing from and oppressing their people and then blaming their plight on the Evil Jews.

I can only assume that you live in the US, but perhaps you live in Ireland/the UK - in either case, this point is still valid. For the vast majority of people living in those countries, they don't care what you look like or where you are from as long as you don't act like an idiot. Although, if you really think that there's some sort of quasi-organized racist conspiracy, there is unfortunately little to nothing that anybody can do for you.

(FYI - I did a small amount of research, and the only place I could find a source for the Kissinger quote above came from either blatantly racist sites or whackjob International Banking Conspiracy idiots).

When will we finally move past this stupidity?
