And especially :
--
The FSF uses laptops donated by IBM over the past few years. This
was one among several ways IBM cooperated with the GNU Project.
But the cooperation is incomplete: when I asked for the
specifications necessary to make LinuxBIOS run on these laptops,
IBM refusedbciting, as the reason, the enforcement of "trusted
computing"  http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/can-you-trust.html
Treacherous computing is, itself, an attack on our freedom; it is
also, it seems, a motivation to obstruct our freedom in other ways.

--
You can also help our campaign by writing to manufacturers such as
Intel, saying they ought to cooperate with a fully free BIOS. Calm
but strong disapproval, coupled with stating an intention to take
action accordingly, is more effective than venting rage. Please
send a copy of your message to bios@gnu.org, so we can monitor the
support for this campaign. The more mail they get, the more
effect, so please do add your voice to ours.

For me BIOS, is mostly software embedded so i have to live with
that 'closed source bios' (at least on peecee's )  i think i don't
have to accept closed binary blobs at higher level ...

Now, please, can we together stop feeding that awful troll ?
