Finally, according to this Twitter account of someone in Georgia (written in Russian), he claims that 'Russia has blocked access to Georgian websites from within Russia'"
If one of twitter's accounts is the source, it's safe to assume that the other bloggers are sockpuppets too. This whole story is unreliable. The Russian is also unsurprising, as most Linux zealots are hardcore Marxist-Leninists.
they went to great lengths to sniff for Linux, and hand it it's very own DSDT table, which was not only inappropriate for the hardware on the board, but also failed a checksum test, had multiple compiler warnings, and so on.
The assumption that the mobo manufacturer wrote the DSDT tables is a poor one. They licence a BIOS from someone else, and it comes with sample DSDT tables that probably won't work on the hardware. They then update the Windows tables to work with their board, and ignore the rest.
That scenario is entirely consistent with what was reported on the Ubuntu forums.
More likely, they simply didn't go out of their way to support Linux. When they buy a BIOS it comes with default DSDT tables that of coarse don't work on their specific board, it's very possible that they fixed the Windows tables and ignored the rest.
But of coarse, mere incompetence doesn't make for a good Two Minutes Hate. Linux zealots say they love UNIX, but they really just love to hate Microsoft.
If anyone has any doubt as to who owns the troll account, this should be enough. One of those oh shit I can't believe I posted that moments for twitter, I'm sure. But that's what happens when you have to juggle 25+ accounts.
You should be ashamed of yourself for mocking the brave men and women who heroically bring to light twitter's massive and unprecedented gaming of the Slashdot system.
The integrity of Slashdot is a matter of grave importance.
Unacceptable. That would not accomplish the Primary Objective of silencing twitter by keeping him in karma hell, thus making the world safe for proprietary software.
Anyone posting or moderating on this thread should be aware that trimmer is yet another sockpuppet of the prolific slashdot troll twitter.
twitter sockpuppets can be recognized from the shilling and the fact that 11 out of 12 post at -1 for trolling. The trolling has become especially bizarre, with twitter intentionally sowing confusion over which accounts are in fact his sock puppets.
I had hoped that twitter wouldn't use his latest account for trolling, but I was obviously wrong.
You can be sure that Micro$oft is behind this. M$ thrives on taking away your freedoms, DRM is like manna to them. Without copyright, all that DRM would be useless, and they wouldn't stand a chance against GNU/Linux.
Slashdot Mirror
Do not try and troll the twitter. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.
What truth?
There is no twitter.
Then you'll see, that it is not the twitter that is trolled, it is only yourself.
serious business
Readers and moderators should note that twitter is a confirmed twitter sockpuppet.

that's what twitter wants you to believe. In fact, Anonymous Coward is yet another one of his sockpuppets.
It's a very elaborate troll.
His reasoning:

Informative? That's pure speculation.

I forget, which one of us is twitter again?
I for one blame twitter.
This is no laughing matter. twitter is serious business.
It should be noted that trimmer (1331297) is the same person as twitter (104583). The former is part of a collection of throwaway troll accounts created to harass anyone who dares point out what twitter has been doing to Slashdot lately.

I for one blame twitter. He is single-handedly responsible for the failures of Free Software, not to mention AIDS and the Holocaust.
Unacceptable. That would not accomplish the Primary Objective of silencing twitter by keeping him in karma hell, thus making the world safe for proprietary software.
The reality of the situation is, there are only a few hundred posters on Slashdot, max. The rest are all twitter.
It's a very elaborate troll.

Also watch out for these.
hi twitter
Readers should note that Anonymous Coward is a known twitter sockpuppet.
Open sores developers who fix security bugs are a bunch of masturbating monkeys.
Who really gets paid? Bill Gates.
