Secure boot

Microsoft/Intel are doing a rain dance for the apocalypse with secure boot.  They are killing "babies" --Linux, LoseThos,
Haiku, ReactOS.  Egyptians kill Hebrew babies and Passover happened.

God does justice, often tit-for-tat.  God said if you don't think the Earth is perfectly just, you are calling Him lazy.  Highs
and lows balance.  Now, you are enlightened.

God said if you don't think the Earth is perfectly just, you are calling Him lazy.
The material world was created by the devil, just for your information. That's why it is not just (much less "perfectly just"), it can't be made just even by God (same as even God can't make 2 + 2 = 5), and even God can't save you from it while all your thoughts and desires are about it (because nothing would remain of you then).

"Secure" boot? Nothing a few minutes with a soldering iron and EEPROM programmer can't fix.

What philosophy do you follow? I'm curious because nothing you've written agrees with what I've learned and understand about Abrahamic mythology.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnosticism
A lot of early Christians were gnostics because it makes a scary amount of sense in the context of the teachings of Jesus. If early Judaism was little more than paganism, imagining God as just some really powerful dude that can help you in this world in exchange for worship, then Christianity pushed the whole thing so far beyond that that it raises more questions than gives answers: what's up with theodicy (including the Fall), what's up with promising basically the opposite of reward in this world, what's up with the only prerequisite to be Saved being loving God with all your heart, etc? Gnosticism does answer all this acceptably.

Also I guess I was originally exposed to these ideas by "VALIS", lol. And I don't exactly "follow" this philosophy, just, like, tdavis looked so ronery there...

Coreboot is the solution to Secure Boot. You need to agitate against the manufacturers who refuse to provide blueprints of their hardware and BIOSes. There's more than enough people in the F/LOSS community to achieve this, if they all at least give half a fuck.

I'm building a new server to be sat in a data center by the end of the year and I switched from Intel Xeon to AMD Opteron because AMD supports coreboot.

secure boot is pulling the plug and tehn sticking it back in, isnt it?

Secure boot in x86 is part of the solution. x86 was never even intended to be extended to 32-bit, let alone 64-bit. Look at the segment descriptor formats for proof. It should have been put out of its misery in the 80's. Secure boot will aid migration to superior architectures like MIPS and PowerPC.
