My cynical side says it's heading that way no matter what I say, and there's basically one reason you haven't already.

So why don't we bury the hatchet here?

Proving what?

You can type in blank fields.

Why would I masquerade as that idiot?

Surely I would rather be Chuck Norris, at least he has a fist behind his beard, not Linspire.

Essentially I was muzzled for no reason, other than some stuck up person(s) not happening to agree with me, and therefore punishing me, unduly.

This situation never would have escalated to this...

He went to Red Hat's Bugzilla and marked it "Closed: Not a bug", apparently this was a mistake on his part as he later comments in the page, I snapped on the concern that he was closing bugs without...

What is your angle anyway?

Good for you, I'm sure you will continue to be as unfair as possible.

Ubuntu Forums is censoring me again.

They’ve locked my post on Foxconn and then placed my account on moderation, they made up a bogus allegation with which to justify this.

The only reason I...

(I didn't want to hijack the other thread.)

Will this be ported back to Intrepid?

I have a Compaq laptop that could use this.

Why are you doing this?

Response to Matthew Garrett's assumption that the bad BIOS is "not a bug":

Foxconn has said they will post an official response on Monday, they sent me a DSDT table to patch the kernel with this morning, but it ended up giving me every error the original BIOS does, plus a...

Yes, I'll keep you posted.

Carl,

I used the website, and I did not appreciate any of that at all, actually I was quite horrified that a motherboard manufacturer as large as Foxconn is has just totally torpedoed Linux and...

Occom's Razor Time:

Theory: They were negligent wankers that didn't care and/or just a bug

Theory assumes many unlikely circumstances.

1. Foxconn accidentally put an entire DSDT table and a...

In his position, he has to be professional, in my position, as a customer, I have a right to go in, bang my fist on the desk, and ask "Why the hell is this not working?"

I've been in contact with...

I PM'd you, suddenly I don't feel so bad anymore.

I've fixed your BIOS, it had 8 warnings, and one error (causing it to not compile at all) caused by a typo, I left the warnings alone for now, I...

That would be even worse.

It hands Linux 0x03

It hands Windows NT 0x02

Before you read this: I have been in contact with Foxconn and they’ve told me...

It's INDUSTRY compliant, cause Microsoft said it works with Vista, and maybe XP too!

That was the part where I said "Oh snap" and went right to work making "idle treats", I wonder if Foxconn would...

Probably seeing as how Foxconn makes 8 out of every 10 PC motherboards, just relabels them as MSI and others, so you could have a Doomsday situation out there where 80% of computers could not boot...

It responds to OSI requests as every version of Windows there is (bites his hand).

It responds to their MCTH OS request as Linux, therefore the BIOS figures out Linux is Linux no matter what a...

I still say it's a SET of very HORRIBLE, yet awfully CONVENIENT "bugs", and a big company like Microsoft may have baked a few million pies filled with $100 bills for these "bugs". :popcorn:
