Recently I’ve been messing with my new media center computer, trying to get it to work with XBMC and that good stuff. However, XBMC requires 3D acceleration, and radeonhd doesn’t yet support the 3D features of my graphics adapter (Radeon HD 3200). So I tried using AMD’s proprietary fglrx driver, and I can say is that blobs freaking suck! It doesn’t work at all on Fedora (My preferred distribution), and that’s over a month after the distro came out, giving AMD time to fix their damn driver.
All I have to say is to echo the release song of OpenBSD 3.9: Blob!.
Little baby Blobby was a cute little baby when we found him on the beach, there was nothin' shady you could bounce him on your knee like a ba-ba-ball and his first little word was adorable He said a blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Blah! Thin edge of the wedge? But everybody was so happy - about Blob Blob was popular at school he was helpful too He could get your motor runnin' with a drop of goo He was givin' it away never charged a dime But by the time he graduated Blob was business slime! He was a blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah He's givin' you the Evil Eye! Now everybody had it they was drivin' around They was givin' up their freedoms for convenience now Blobbin' up the freeway, water black as pitch And somehow little Blobby was a growin' rich! He was a blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah It's linkin' time! Now it was out of control n' fishy's came to depend on Blobby's Blob Blah, seemed to be no end Then his empire spread and to their surprise Blobby been a growin' to incredible size! He's a blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b Then along came a genius Doctor Puffystein And he battled the Blob who had crossed the line He was 50 feet tall - Doctor said "No fear" I got a sample of Blob I can reverse engineer! But it was too late! Blob was takin' over the world! He wants your video! Ya he wants your net! He wants your drive! He wants it all!! Somebody help us! Noooooooo! NVIDIA! Intel! Atheros! 3-Ware! VIA! ATI! Broadcom! TI! Myricom! HighPoint! Adaptec! Mylex! ICP Vortex! and IBM! Takin' over the world!
