How rude of them!

And on wikipedia's entry on the sempron, it says I don't have sse2. Or
NX. Which is weird, because there was a time when I thought dmesg told
me I had both.
Oh, well.

I guess google wants to force me to get a new motherboard, preferably,
I assume, one that is NSA backdoored.
I don't like google lately.
I suppose I shouldn't blame Acer's recalcitrance about unlocking their
ARM tablets and enabling root entirely on google, but google sure has
not particularly discouraged such antisocial behavior. Helped, rather.
And now this.
