Its been awhile since I've seen you post around here Moulinneuf, I'm sure everyone has missed thoughtful and insightful dialog like
"Your a **BSD** , you have no credibility at all"
"2) **You** are fast at burning someone. Other's like me just reply in kind , to your intelligence lacking insulting and unrealistic and fabricated reality that is completely unrealistic."
"3) Your a liar , traitor , coward and incompetent. "
"I apparently , also need to actually point to you and take you by your childish hands , that Opening and freeing the source code will enable BSD and other OS to be run properly and correctly on this device and the hardware it's made of."
In a single post, you managed to break rules 1-4 and rule 6 of the OSNews forum rules (http://www4.osnews.com/docs/rules). I have to admit, I do love reading your posts though, especially the wild, barely comprehensible meltdowns about BSD.

"It wasn't even that,"
Actually , what he said , was part of the factors.
"it was just a matter of time."
Your a **BSD** , you have no credibility at all , There are Hardware , drivers code and software that where made on BSD , decade ago ( more then 30 years ) but switched license by Apple and Microsoft and other's who to this day after four decade are still not available even do the vendor as stopped maintaining and supporting the hardware in question.
If time was really a realistic option , by now BSD would have an immense lead over GNU/Linux and the GPL. Not be a failure as an OS , not distributed and not sold as default.
"But some people are rather fast at burning someone"
1) ASUS is *something*. An international and global ODM and OEM computer and electronic device creator and vendor and supplier.
2) **You** are fast at burning someone. Other's like me just reply in kind , to your intelligence lacking insulting and unrealistic and fabricated reality that is completely unrealistic.
3) Your a liar , traitor , coward and incompetent.
"actually thinking."
People who actually think , don't support , make , pro actively finance , support Free Software and Open source want nothing to do with BSD and people like you.
Because when they listen to people like you NOTHING get's done properly and realistically.
Sitting on is ass for time to pass as never produced any result or anything.
I apparently , also need to actually point to you and take you by your childish hands , that Opening and freeing the source code will enable BSD and other OS to be run properly and correctly on this device and the hardware it's made of.
There are two OS that work and are shipped as default and are supported on this device :
Microsoft Windows.
GNU/Linux.
If your not part of one of the other you have nothing intelligent to say at all.
