Mobo for Vertically Challenged Devices
An anonymous reader writes "VIA is shipping an ultra-low profile mini-ITX mainboard suitable for flat TVs, LCD-panel computers, and other vertically challenged devices. The Epia MS uses a minimalistic I/O backplate and SODIMM memory for a slimmer form-factor, and is VIA's first mini-ITX board available with a fanless 1GHz Eden embedded processor. The board has several processor options, but they all include the PadLock Ace hardware RNG and AES encrypt/decrypt features that are now supported by the Linux and BSD kernels."
now we can install computers in the most ungodly places!
What, like in the back of a Volkswagen?
It's so nice to see that you finally quit referring to them as "midget" devices and went with the much more PC "vertically challenged" devices.
Theres plenty of room in a flat screen TV if you place the card verticly, am I missing something??
Yeup. The "al" in "vertically".
So this is a laptop mobo without the lap?
oh, you can put it sideways (as if the electrons would fall out)?
So it's a lap-side?
Am I missing something here?
I'm not a prophet or a stone-age man,
I'm just a mortal with potential of a super man.
Aren't flat-panel monitors and TVs *horizontally* challenged?
All televisions are depth challenged, no matter what their dimensions. You need only turn them on to see the problem!
A think the appeal of the iMac lies in that it is small, easy to hook up(no rats nest), and has astehtic value.
You just listed three things that are not true about Linux.
Don't become a regular here -- you will become retarded.
