    why would we make such an effort as the article suggest, of doing multiple checks and whatnot and then deliberately create false tables, to cause a very small percentage of the users of that product to have a hard time?

    just think about it, it doesnt make any sense whatsoever...

    people just love the idea of a big evil organisation trying to enslave the human race, and consipracy theories and whatnot... but isnt it pretty obvious that this is just a bug or simply badly written acpi tables?

    i dont know that much about BIOS programming, so i might be wrong...
    im on a business trip atm, but when im back in taipei ill check with the engineers to see what this is about, ok?
    im with you on this 1 saaya.. it dont seem to make any sense what so ever..

    lol the reason i dont use linux is that it sucks on 3Dmark
