    Hasn't Ubuntu made GRUB a SecureBoot [h-online.com] boot loader? How isn't this sufficient?

    please see the three hour thread where the op continued to go off on a witch hunt becuase I made a simple observation, ending in I am appalling because I do not agree with his rhetoric, though I provided no argument.

    see right there is the problem, some odd reason many of you freedom fighters see it as black and white, if I am not 100% dedicated to your cause then I am appalling and hurtful to your cause

    my argument though ... is your cause so weak it cant take one simple observation without going off on a witch hunt? (which you have for hours now)

    you have offered no evidence why I should actually care, and yet shown so much of why I don't want to be associated with your kind

    good day

  8. Re:Energy efficiency on Cree Introduces 200 Lumen/Watt Production Power LEDs · · Score: 1

    you can take the exact same die, slap a different phosphorous on it and make it orange, red, green whatever

    and just FYI CRT monitors use the exact same theory, there is no light bulb, its a electron beam exciting a patch of phosphorus. CRTs can produce the exact same color temperatures as any other monitor

    so please, continue with your ignorant health FUD

    I work with LED lighting every single day, and in one instance we had an issue where a soft dome got knocked off, the spectrum is actually so near blue it looks blue, its probably safer than a blacklight you used for your posters in college

    yea but a LED putting out damn near perfect X kelvin isnt going to give you the same effect as a wideband ball of fire in gas

  13. Re:light and color quality on Cree Introduces 200 Lumen/Watt Production Power LEDs · · Score: 3, Informative

    its pretty common, if not standard issue now to put a patch of phosphorous over a UV led to generate the final visible light in these high powered LED's. so its very similar to what you can expect out of a CFL (course these things measure in cm)

    you do get advantages though, the starting UV is generated by a crystal and not an electric arch in a vacuum so its more "rich" and if its not half assed you dont get flicker

    eh phosphorus does not emit the same radiation as a hps or metal halide... its not about color its about spectrum

    posting a inflammatory rant off topic doesnt make you look any smarter. I am not defending microsoft, I just happen to notice every time FSF gets worked up there's always a required "donation".

    How you magically tie this in to being a YAY GO MS post is beyond me, and your ongoing blather about some nytimes writer is pointless in context

    or here's an idea, just dont buy them if your that worried about it

    a thousand people buy UEFI motherboards and return them you just made the company think they sold 1000 UEFI when they look at the short term numbers... later on when they look at the returns it can be spun away with "well we did a driver or firmware update, see returns are down! the product is a sucess and quality is rising"

    if you are so against this why in the hell would you give a company two +1 gold stars to sell?

    geez, you can protest, but dont start by shooting your foot!

    I see this often with FSF shenanigans, they hype something up to get the freetards all bent out of shape, and when the froth is at its peak they start hitting up the donations. Not even sure what good they actually do other than making noise and collecting money.
