   While I'm ranting, a special fuck you to companies that release easily hackable hardware, then lock it down in a hardware revision without changing the model number.

     lack of revision numbers on change in general is just evil.

     i remember buying a couple of hundred boxes with a very specific controller board that we had to have due to OS support. first batch worked fine. second shipment, every one failed. checked board revision versions. no change.

     turns out they did new board firmware but didn't increment version number.

     hilarity ensues.

     sigh...
