Re: [Staffslug] BIOS passwords

Hi Dave. My real concern was purely that we might be going way, way, way off topic. I'm just so used to getting pounced upon in other lists for OT threads. If the group wish to debate completely off topic stuff then count me in :-) Actually, was that thread so OT? I think it touched upon a social aspect of open source. Open Source software is meant to empower the individual, to allow wide spread use of software no matter how rich or poor you are or how intellectual you may be. So, perhpas some of the things in the thread (that upset me) could be likened to Microsoft's business practices of lock in and exclusivity? Hey, I've woken up ;-) what do you expect? -- ============================================== Don't take it to the tip recycle it via the Freecycle(r) Network.
