Sneak Preview of VIA's next-gen mini-ITX mobo
An anonymous reader writes "VIA will preview its next-generation mini-ITX board for the consumer electronics market at next week's Computex 2004 in Taipei. The EPIA SP features a new graphics and memory controller hub (GMCH) supporting faster front-side bus (FSB), memory, and southbridge interconnect speeds. It also features a C3 processor clocked at 1.3GHz, integrated PadLock Hardware Security Suite, and MPEG-4 acceleration.
Oh, and like the current top-end MII 12000 VIA board, the whole board probably draws under 20watts running flat out."

Wow, it was just too much to type "motherboard", huh? Or is the submitter Herbert Kornfeld?
I never post normally but you guys got to know what happened so it dont happen to you guys. So you can learn from my bad luck.
I'm a semi-regular slashdot reader, and I get mod points quite a lot. Monday was a pretty normal day for me in the IT department where I've worked for 2 years now. I'd finished my work, and am about to head to lunch when I cruise by Slashdot to see what stuff that matters there is, and I see I have mod points, right?
So I set my threshold to -1, and go into a newish article, and start modding. I see a couple of stuff that ain't funny and mod that. I see a couple of funny gags about clippy so I mod them up. My boss comes in half way through, so I stop what I'm doing and turn round and talk to him. After a few moments, I can see he's looking at the screen.
Now I hadn't really paid attention to where it was pointing, and it turns out it was on one of those GNAA posts. My boss asks me straight out, what the hells that, or something. I try to explain but he's not satisfied, he reads the word nigger and gay, and he's very dubious of me. He bumps it up to his superior. The next day, I'm sitting in a confrence room speaking to 3 senior boss's trying to explain how come I was viewing a race hate crime website in my work time. I say to them it was my lunchh break which they say is ok then i try to explain Slashdot's like the wild west, at a low level you get all sorts of crazy shit. I'm sweating like mad at this point.
To cut the long short, by today Thursday, I'm out of a fucking job. My fucking boss thinks I was posting or reading that shit, and now I've got to find something else in this shitty job market. What the fuck am I going to put on my resume about my last job? I get no fucking refrence at all for 2 years work. My fucking life has been totally ruined by these crapflooding bastards.
FUCK YOU TACO YOU AIN'T DONE NOTHING TO PROTECT PWEOPLE LIKE ME FROM THEIR HATE. cause I'm a regular reader, and HELP OUT YOUR FUCKING SITE I LOOSE MY JOB?? FUCK YOU. I AINT NEVER COMING BACK HERE
If your reading this, you gnaa fucks, FUCK OFF BACK TO KURO5HIT. If your laughing to yourselfs remember that it is NOT A COMPUTER GAME. I am in the shit now because of you, and I hope in your dead hearts you will suffer for what you have done to me. I am going to find out who you are and cut you down to size...I already started so you guys are fucking dead, here me DEAD i know loads of shit and i have the skills to take you down and i will use them all WITHOUT MERCY.
Imagine a beowulf cluster of these things! Get together fifty or sixty and you might have close to a real computer!
If Mobo is short for Motherboard, I wonder if Harrison Ford calls his mom "mofo"
