True but at least you can actually buy a beagleboard :P There's an 8mos waiting list for Pi's where I live, only to get a broadcom firmware ridden toy. With completely open hardware you could hack a beagleboard forever. Or buy a Cubieboard

Big deal. If you can't handle it don't become a kernel maintainer. If you think this is bad go try to submit garbage code to the openbsd devs and see what they call you. If you want to be coddled work for the government or a corporation. Th
