    just dropped a massive deuce rocket. What we in the business call an "air breather" because it stacks up so high, it breaks the surface of the water. It's like a Hawaiian island. Aloha and mahalo!!

      I hear you bro. Moved into a new place a month ago. The toilet is one of the "green" water savers (cause water isn't a renewable resource or something). Almost everytime I drop an obama, it ends up halfway out and I have to flush a second time just to clean up the shit stains left behind. Saturday, I think it was, I dropped a massive shit. Toilet mearly flooded. And my asshole still hurts. I don't know how anyone can enjoy anal sex. (The bottom side, at least!)

    OK AMD, I understand some of your reasoning, but as an embedded designer, I cannot stress this enough:

    If you don't support Linux, I won't design your parts in.

    From the linked slick:
    "Delivers a Microsoft® Windows Vista® Premium experience,
    handling the rich Aero user interface and extremely
    demanding application workloads with ease"

    OK, I understand why you have to add that - and in and of itself, that's OK, as many of the target users will be running Windows.

    However, what I *don't* see is anything like:

    "Supports EXA, OpenGL, V4L2, and GStreamer under Linux."

    Indeed, I don't find "Linux" anywhere on the slick. Sorry, but the gear I design needs a longer lifespan for the software - including the OS - than Microsoft is able to give me (yes, I know they "promise cross our hearts and hope to die pinky swear" to support their 'embedded' OS'es for a long time, but history shows otherwise).

    So, to summarize:
    BAD AMD! WRONG OS! NO BISCUIT!
