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."

i have no reason for happiness
i am stading alone in my own darkness
thinking of the good days that went by(e)
i`ll remember them before i die
i`m embracing my own darkness
holding it tight like it was my happines
it takes me hours to remember that i`m holding nothing
and to realise my brain and heart are bluffing
