IMO, anyone using the term "Extraordinary Rendition" is collaborating in covering up a hateful crime. We are talking about kidnapping and torturing innocent people." | Feb 09 10:40 |

Don't let the other - "secure boot" - side know that you support their rediculous ideas. Sure it's harder to find such vendor. Sure it may cost you more. But what exactly do you want? incompatible hardware, doomed future for FLOSS? or maybe open future, open standards and compatible hardware? We vote with our wallets." | Feb 09 17:16 |

| schestowitz | "Not sure. Doubting it though. I use older machines with legacy BIOS :P" | Feb 09 17:19 |
| schestowitz | "UEFI is a great example of why copyleft is important. It might be free software for some people, but it was designed to take software freedom away from everyone else. All free software that is not copyleft can be used that way, so it's better to contribute to or make a copyleft version of the software you like." | Feb 09 17:19 |
| schestowitz | "Actually, from what I know UEFI isn't evil. UEFI + Secure Boot is. UEFI itself is just an attempt to create "BIOS v2.0". "Better, faster, more capable" [although it is debatable. It is bloated, and in fact - it is a mini-OS. Why would you ever want to run OS on top of other OS?]. So, basically, Secure Boot is an extension to UEFI, it uses UEFI as a platform to implement its crap." | Feb 09 17:19 |
