if mobo suppliers stop selling mobos that can't easily have linux installed, that's sayonara for much of their data center sales/upgrades.
i take comfort in knowing that corporate use of linux has already reached critical mass where hardware availability for linux is assured.
oem's are handy for those that don't know much about computers of just can't be assed or can't afford to fuck around installing anything better than whatever the current windows flavor is, but the real action is in components. always has been, always will be.
when i first saw the heading i was expecting from linus something like "we should just ignore uefi... it's just not that bigger deal"
i honestly don't really know what all the fuss is about
i'll keep buying mobos from my local store or online and (assuming the have it) uefi will be disabled by default and i will assemble my new pc's as per usual
as for how it may affect anyone else... i really just don't give a fuck:)
unless you are into projects that don't require much of an operating system (such as assembly on AVR etc, probably the 28% custom/in-house figure), how many options are there apart from linux?
i remember when i was a kid being amazed at how through two small core copper wires you can make a phone work with no connection to the domestic power supply, and then on top of that they also made it so you could access high speed broadband (well, if you could call ADSL2+ high speed). it's really quite amazing what can fit down those measly two wires. they obviously watched the movie "honey i shrunk the kids" and took it to the next level. i only wish i could shrink my bills like that.
god knows what they will be able to do when we eventually (in australia anyway) get fttp. maybe when we order a pizza online they'll be able to send it through the fibre.

I don't want to type anything. I want to click, like I did before..like I've done on every operating system ever.
clicking's sooo yesterday... if you want to be like neo or trinity you have to at least learn nmap ...and kung fu

the crash of 2008 is well understood by people like peter schiff, who in the face of criticism from every direction predicted it beforehand.
those that doubt it was caused by the fed and government policies were the ones doing the criticising and now have egg on their faces.
low interest rates from the fed + government guaranteed mortgages = housing bubble
it's not rocket science

micro usb only has 5 pins, but only a few pins are used for audio/video/sync in a 19-pin hdmi connector
given that samsung has a long history in this field, it wouldn't surprise me at all if they are driving this kind of technology
companies like apple are only able to buy it
