The spyware argument is ridiculous. Steam 'spies' on your system more than Origin does. Heh. I can't believe people actually believe that garbage, but whatever floats your boat.

[quote who="Tridus" reply="37" id="3188751"]EA's stock is going down because The Old Republic cost a ton of money and isn't holding a large enough subscriber base to make it back. I don't think there's a lot more to read into it then that.[/quote] According to the conference call it's still holding at about 1.3 million subscribers. Considering people are still throwing numbers like 500k about I'd think there's a lot of misinformation going around.

[quote who="AgentExeider" reply="34" id="3188414"]The reason EA's value is tanking is because it's going down to where it's actually worth.

I wouldn't trust DBS any more than I do pacemakers. Obviously they can be necessary, but enough of em screw up to make you worry. Mind you it sounds like a great idea, just a tiny bit dangerous.

[quote who="seanw3" reply="22" id="3183360"]UbraAngel makes a terribly meaningless point. We are not mad because new influences drifted the games we loved. We are mad because EA took these franchises and crapped all over them with zero quality control. Go ahead and try to play C&C4. It is two games spliced together and neither well implemented because EA cut funding to both and then merged the teams, firing a few employees just before release and the whole rest of the team after.

You simply disable the secure boot feature. Assuming the vendor is following UEFI guidelines, it's that easy. Having an option for the user to disable it will not take away MS certification.

Reply to Another Windows 8 Horror Story! in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

Good lord people! THIS WAS NOT DESIGNED BY MICROSOFT. They are using an EXISTING security chain in UEFI to do this. They are not blocking out Linux by making their OS more secure. You should be able to disable UEFI Secure Boot on any machine (depending on the OEM) to install Linux. Making MS out to be the bad guy because they're using something already available to computers is retarded.
