Questions for Richard Stallman.

Post your questions for Stallman here. I'll send him a link to this thread.

First question, it has been said that you do not do much programming any more, due to using your time in other ways. Do you ever miss the times when you would program for hours at a time?

While I do appericate the FUD people are spreading about it as that will prevent the situation from going out of hand (such as manufacturers not making the 'secure boot' thing optional or not allowing users to change certificates, which they do now), it seems most manufacturers allow turning off this feature and they also allow you to keep it on, but change the keys, which makes this perfectly manageable. It would be a huge problem if they didn't, and Microsoft doesn't require them to allow user-changable certs or making it optional, but it doesn't forbid it either (with current hardware is optional). I also expect the feature to be easily hackable by someone owning the hardware, but chances are manufacturers won't make their hardware in such ways as to actually require users to take such extreme measures.
