Turn-Key Linux Audio

Trying to get first post - that's a paddling.
Imagining beowulf clusters - that's a paddling.
Questioning the sexuality of Slashdot personalities and linux users in general - that's a paddling.
Pouring hot grits down yer pants in front of a naked and petrified Natalie Portman - oh, you better believe that's a paddling!
No audio
I can't seem to parse this sentence: "ECMC has released it is turnkey .." This makes no sense.
Wait a minute, did you mean "released its" (note: no apostrophe)? I know that grammar-correcting posts are lame, but for Pete's sake, the difference between "its" and "it's" should be well-established by the fourth grade. Do you have any idea how simultaneously funny and sad it is that we Americans are often out-spelled and "out-grammared" by people who don't even speak English as a first language?
Sorry. Mod me down, but I am honestly stunned at the atrocious spelling and grammar that I continually see on Slashdot (and all over the rest of the Internet, as well.) I thought we were supposed to be smart? When I (and I am not alone on this) see errors like this on a resume or in some other form of correspondence, I form an immediate impression of the person making these errors; namely, that the person possesses a lower-than-average intelligence. Unfair? Maybe. But if people could write correct English, it wouldn't be an issue, would it?
