    I drink coffee all day long because I have found that not only do executives not like it when we fall asleep in thier early morning meetings, they don't like it in the late afternoon meetings either... or any other meetings as far as I can tell.

  20. Re:Why on New BIOS Exploiting Rootkit Discovered · · Score: 2

    I don't think anyone is saying there is not a reason to flash a BIOS. But what is in question is whether to allow this to be done through WIndows. Yes it is more work to flash a BIOS from the setup screen, it is much more secure in the light of viruses that attack it.
