Heaven! :goodposting:

If you want the date to end on a bed,
Be sure the idea begins in her head.

And if that's just your penultimate thought,
Remember the moral beliefs you've been taught.

:smile:

(Hey, at least it rhymes.)

[QUOTE=Dubslow;419079]As a change of pace, here's a stark reminder: [URL]http://libreboot.org/faq/#intel[/URL][/QUOTE]

Initial response- :shock: (I finally read the article.) I found this mildly reassuring:
[QUOTE][URL="https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/33981.html"]Intel Boot Guard[/URL] is an ME application introduced in Q2 2013 with ME firmware version 9.0 on 4th Generation Intel Core i3/i5/i7 (Haswell) CPUs. It allows a PC OEM to generate an asymmetric cryptographic keypair, install the public key in the CPU, and prevent the CPU from executing boot firmware that isn't signed with their private key. This means that [B][I]coreboot and libreboot are impossible to port[/I][/B] to such PCs, without the OEM's private signing key.[COLOR=Navy][U] [B]Note that systems assembled from separately purchased mainboard and CPU parts are unaffected, since the vendor of the mainboard (on which the boot firmware is stored) can't possibly affect the public key stored on the CPU. [/B][/U][/COLOR][/QUOTE]
But I expect that [U]that[/U] hole in the system will be patched before too long. :help:

And here I've been dreaming of the day that I can move from AMD to Intel. :davieddy:

Haha, nice. Looks like Romania. The buildings, the posters, people's clothes, the poles decorated with advertising papers... I even played with contrast and brightness to read the plates of the cars, the name of the shop in front, and the panel on the left. Then I saw the palm trees and I gave up. Unless that country moved 20 degrees south on latitude during my ~15 years of absence, or unless mr agathon* solved the palm trees problem, that can't be Romania...

They died in 10 days or so, due to cold/humid/salty weather. What google translates as "the parent" is the name of the place where the palms were planted.

[QUOTE]Couch's defense team, which included psychologist Dr. G. Dick Miller, argued that the teen suffered from "affluenza," meaning his irresponsible behavior and lifestyle were a product of his affluent upbringing and "profoundly dysfunctional" parents.[/QUOTE]
