In the Hands of the Enemy: 9. Leverage
"And then what happened?" Tillfield demanded, twisting in the saddle to look up at the tall Ranger. "Did you kill all the orcs?"
"Only the ones standing between me and the way out," Halbarad replied, the lines of worry relaxing for a moment into a chagrined smile.
"And then Strider's brother let you keep the knife," Tillfield prompted, looking down at the polished hilt poking out of his belt.
"Yes, he did. He told me that it might come in handy if I ever needed to save him someday."
"Because Rangers always take care of each other, right?"
The Ranger's brow tightened once more, and the Wizard caught the note of bitterness in his reply. "Almost always."
"I'll bet you've killed lots of orcs."
"I have indeed, but not nearly as many as Strider's brothers have," Halbarad answered, with a wry glance in Gandalf's direction. "You know, Tillfield, Rangers do other things besides kill orcs."
"Like what?"
"Well, we keep the roads safe from bandits, we guard the borders of the Shire, we hunt, we plant a few crops, we train our horses and raise our children - "
"Do you have children?"
"I have three, and two grandchildren."
The hobbit twisted around in the saddle in astonishment. "You have grandchildren?"
Halbarad laughed. "Yes, does that surprise you?"
"You're not old enough," the hobbit declared. "Butterbur is older than you and he doesn't have any grandchildren."
Halbarad winked at Gandalf. "I must have had an early start, then."
"Does Strider have children?"
"No, he doesn't."
"Why not?" When the Ranger failed to answer, the hobbit pressed. "Doesn't he want any?"
Gandalf took pity on the Ranger and decided to intercede. "Strider is a very busy man, Dudo. He just hasn't gotten around to it yet."
"What about you, Gandalf? How many children do you have?"
The look of relieved gratitude Halbarad had been in process of directing at Gandalf dissolved into a delighted guffaw. Gandalf managed to aim a threatening glare at him before turning a kindly but firm smile on the hobbit. "My dear hobbit," he said, "I am much too old to endure this line of questioning. May I suggest another?" At the hobbit's nod, he motioned to Halbarad. "Why don't you ask Halbarad where he got that scar above his eyebrow?"
Halbarad looked daggers at him. "Why, you -"
"Well, Halbarad?" the hobbit prompted.
"Ask Gandalf," Halbarad grumbled. "He obviously thinks it's a - Gandalf!" the Ranger broke off as he caught sight of something up ahead. The wizard spurred his mount to a gallop behind the Ranger's, pulling up as Halbarad leapt down to examine something on the ground beside the road.
Halbarad knelt in the dirt, holding a leather pack. As Gandalf came up behind him, he turned his bowed head slightly. "It's his."
Gandalf knelt beside him and gently wrested the pack from Halbarad's protective grasp. Retrieving the item he sought, he unfolded it and read it.
Halbarad leaned over to peer at the letter. "What does it say?"
"Meet me at Sarn Ford," Gandalf read. "Come quickly, or all will be lost." He fingered the seal, frowned at the meticulously flowing script. "If I didn't know better, I would have sworn this is my handwriting."
Halbarad reached for the pack again and rummaged through it. "His tools are all here, his clothes - my wife made this shirt for him. Gandalf, he wouldn't have left this behind."
Gandalf straightend and and rose to his feet. "Halbarad," he said. "Let's have a look around."
"He wouldn't have left it behind," the Ranger whispered. Not if - "
Gandalf laid a hand on the Ranger's shoulder. "Halbarad," he said firmly, forcing the Ranger to meet his gaze. "Go have a look around." The Ranger swallowed and took a long breath. After a moment he got to his feet and began scouting the area.
"May I get down?" Tillfield asked.
Gandalf hurried to lift him down. "I'm sorry, Dudo."
"What happened?" the hobbit asked, looking worriedly at the frantically pacing Ranger.
"We don't know yet, Dudo."
"Campfire over here," the Ranger announced, brushing a hand against the ashes. He stood and took a few more steps before stopping abruptly. "Oh, no."
Gandalf turned. "What is it?"
Halbarad was staring at the ground. "Footprints. Really big footprints."
Gandalf loaded Tillfield onto his horse as Halbarad secured Aragorn's pack to his own mount. The Ranger jerked the packstrap tight with a yank so hard it drew a snort of protest from the horse. He glanced at the setting sun. "They loaded him up on the horse and left the road here, took this little trail. It crosses some upland and joins up with the Greenway about 25 miles east. The moon is waxing. If it stays clear tonight I'll have just enough light to follow it."
Gandalf took hold of the Ranger's shoulder. "Halbarad."
"They've got him, Gandalf!" Halbarad snapped. "He may already be dead."
"Halbarad, your kinsman was not destined to die at the hands of a Dunlending bandit."
"Do you know that, Gandalf?" Halbarad demanded. "Because I know what he's destined to be, too. I knew it the moment I first laid eyes on him. But I doubt very much that Teburic is a big respecter of Dúnedain destiny."
"You must believe, Halbarad," Gandalf said.
"Believe in what? A three thousand year old legend isn't going to stop a sharp piece of steel against his neck."
Gandalf gave his shoulder a pat. "If you don't believe the legends, then at least believe in him."
Halbarad pushed the horses' pace along the narrow trail under the thin moonlight as fast as he could without running a major risk of injury. It was too dark to track effectively from horseback, especially at this pace, and a nagging voice in his head warned him of the risk of losing the trail, but he forced it down. There was no time to lose.
They had gone five miles, maybe more, when the wolves appeared.
The horses smelled them first and snorted in rising panic. "Gandalf!" Halbarad hissed, drawing his sword even as the first set of yellow eyes appeared in the path. "Wolves!"
The Wizard raised his staff and let a burst of light fly from it to a log lying next to the path as several more sets of eyes appeared to the left and right. Halbarad craned around and saw more still on the path behind Gandalf.
The wolves backed off slightly at the sight of the flames, but now the horses were panicking. Halbarad fought for control of the horse and finally leapt down as it reared. He slapped it on the flank and advanced on the wolves, shouting and waving his sword. "Get some more flames up here!" he called back. He didn't know how Gandalf was doing this, but it was working. A flash of light obligingly ignited a downed tree a few feet from him and he broke loose a burning branch and thrust it at the wolves.
He heard the whoosh of another tree bursting into flame behind him, and saw Gandalf wielding an improvised torch in much the same manner. "Where's Tillfield?" he called.
"Up here!" came a reply from over his right shoulder, and Halbarad realized that Gandalf had managed to get the hobbit safely situated in a tree. One less thing to worry about. He thrust at an advancing wolf with his burning brand and it snapped at him as another made a lunge for his leg.
"Halbarad!" cried Gandalf. "Back up! Stay together!"
Halbarad reacted to the warning an instant too late as two wolves moved in behind him to cut him off from Gandalf. He was surrounded. Teeth tore into his leg as the tree above him exploded in a ball of flame so hot it singed his eyebrows. He felt the satisfying slide of his sword through wolf-flesh. By the time he withdrew his blade, the underbrush was crunching with the sounds of retreating paws.
Gandalf was on him as he dropped to his knees, clutching his calf. "Let me see."
"It's nothing," he grunted, looking around. "Where did the horses go?"
"They've run," the Wizard replied.
Halbarad groaned. "It'll take all night to find them, if the wolves don't get them first."
Gandalf produced a cloth from somewhere and wrapped it around his calf. Halbarad stood up and tested his weight on the leg, wincing. Spying Tillfield in the crook of a branch, staring in wide-eyed amazement at Gandalf, he managed a smile and reached up to lower the hobbit to the ground. "Come on down from there, Tillfield. I guess a tree isn't where you want to be right now."
Aragorn let the hand holding the hoofpick drop to his side and leaned gingerly against the post. It wobbled noticeably as he pressed his weight against it. He did not have much further to go and it would be free, yet the night must be nearly over, he sensed that Teburic would be back by dawn, and he could feel his strength draining from him as water from a leaky barrel. The pain from his leg, his hand, and from the beating Teburic had inflicted on him was nearly overwhelming, and now he began to feel the pounding of fever at the base of his skull again. He flipped the horse blanket back over the base of the post and closed his eyes for a moment. Just for a moment.
"Strider." He forced his eyes open to consider the small blob of grey shadow in front of him.
"Yes, Rolly."
"When do you think Teburic will come back?"
"I'm surprised he isn't back already." The most likely explanation for Teburic's extended absence was one which left a queasy feeling in his stomach.
"He's probably drinking again."
Aragorn frowned. Teburic did not strike Aragorn as the type to let the bottle get in the way of a paycheck. And in fact, throughout his several regrettably close encounters with the Dunlending's breath, alcohol was the one foul odor consistently absent. "Maybe so," he responded noncommitally.
"What happens when he comes back?"
Aragorn sighed. "He will ask me more questions." To be more accurate, not more questions, but the same ones, over and over and over again.
"He'll hurt you some more, won't he?"
"That seems likely."
"Then why don't you just tell him what he wants to know?"
"Rolly, I'm not sure I know what he wants to know." This much was true. The thief's curiosity about the Rangers' guard on the Shire could be driven by pure self-interest - perhaps Teburic suspected an unknown mine or hoard. But Gandalf? It was absurd to imagine that the Wizard's activities could have come to the attention of a Dunlending thief-lord, or anyone who would have hired him, for that matter. It made no sense.
"Who is Gandalf?" Rolly asked, as if reading his mind.
"A friend of mine."
"Why does Teburic keep asking about him?"
"I don't know." This, too, was absolute truth. Obviously the Dunlending had no inkling of Gandalf's knowledge of the whereabouts of the Ring, or his own for that matter, and barring that, no other explanation was plausible.
"Strider, why are Men so evil?"
He squinted at the lighter blur in the darkness. "Rolly, all Men are not evil." When the boy did not answer, he went on. "I am a Man, do you think that I am evil?"
"No," came the delayed but admittedly reassuring response.
"What about your father? Wasn't he a good man?"
The boy shrugged. "I don't know. The only thing I remember about him is them killing him."
Aragorn sighed. "Rolly, Men, and all thinking creatures, are given the power to choose between good and evil. Many men choose evil. But there are many who choose good, as well. In one person's life it is possible to make many choices, some of them good, and some of them ill."
"And what if you make an ill choice?" the boy asked.
Aragorn leaned against the post, silenced by the question. How could he, of all people, hope to answer it, he whose identity, purpose, and destiny had been defined for him an age ago by one Man's single moment of weakness? Even the well-intended choices of his own life had left behind a tragic trail of death and hurt and hopeless uncertainty.
"A friend of mine once told me that it is never too late to make the right choice," he said.
The boy looked up at him. "Is that true?"
"You can only do the best you can," he said after a moment.
"How do you know what the right choice is?" the boy asked.
Aragorn sighed. Gandalf would have said to listen to what your heart tells you, but this wasn't a piece of advice he was ready to endorse. He pushed off the weight of philosophical burdens in favor of immediate concerns. "Why does Teburic want to know about the Shire? About Gandalf?"
"It is what his master requires," Rolly answered after a minute.
"Who is his master?" Aragorn asked.
The boy shrugged. "I don't know. Somebody in Bree." He took the tool from Aragorn's hand and resumed digging in the soil around the post.
"Has he ever mentioned a name?" Aragorn pressed.
"You said that you were taken in by another after your father died," the boy said without looking up from his work. "You said that you hurt him."
Wishing more than ever that he hadn't brought it up in the first place, Aragorn didn't answer, but heaved a shoulder against the post, letting the pain of bruised muscles drown out the pain of that statement.
"I never meant to," he said finally.
"Why would you hurt him if he was good to you?" the boy pressed. When the Ranger failed to answer, he said, "If someone was ever good to me, if someone made me like a son, I would never fail him. Never. No matter what."
"That's what I thought, too," whispered Aragorn. He sank down next to the post as exhaustion overtook him again. "Wake me in an hour."
He was roused from sleep not by Rolly but by the snap of his neck as Teburic yanked his head up by a handful of hair. "I'm back, Strider," the thief-lord whispered, wrapping a hand the size of a dinner plate across the Ranger's forehead. "Feeling better, I hope?" Teburic said. "Can't have you dying on me. That would be such a waste."
"My offer stands," Aragorn said, as Teburic released his grasp and allowed him to sit up. In the corner of his eye, he could see Rolly cowering in the corner. "Tell me who hired you and I will pay you twice the agreed upon price."
Teburic's eyes betrayed a mere flicker of interest before he laughed. "You hardly look as if you could do that. But in any case, I honor my agreements. I'm sure that you, as a Ranger," he said with a tone of derision, "can appreciate that."
The Dunlending pulled a milking stool from the corner and perched his bulk atop it precariously. "Are you ready to tell me what I want to know? No, I suppose not," he said, smiling at the Ranger's defiant stare. "You really should, you know. I have all the time in the world. You, on the other hand, do not look as if you can take much more of this."
"Kill me and you'll learn nothing."
"Oh, Strider. I've told you already. That's so unnecessary. We have so much to work with right here." The Dunlending stood and heaved a kick into the Aragorn's injured knee. As the Ranger crumpled reflexively, he found himself pinned to the floor by the Dunlendings's knee again. He felt Teburic take hold of his right wrist and release the manacle, and then his head was forced around to face the hand Teburic held by the wrist. As he watched, Teburic drew his dagger and carefully slit the leather glove which swelling had stretched tight across his hand, revealing skin blackened up to his wrist.
The Dunlending shook his head as he held up the ruined hand before Aragorn's face. "Such a shame; I'll warrant you were an excellent swordsman."
"The Shire, Strider," Teburic prompted, maintaining his unbreakable grip on Aragorn's wrist but moving a single finger slowly and deliberately to the precise point on the top of Aragorn's hand where the knife-hilt had shattered bone. "Just tell me what I want to know, and this can end." As the Ranger watched, he began to apply pressure.
Aragorn gasped, his muscles reflexively jerking in spasm to escape the torturous touch, only to be held in place by Teburic's unshakable grip. As Aragorn closed his eyes against the agony, Teburic withdrew the pressure. "The Rangers," he said. "Why all the Rangers at the borders of the Shire?"
Aragorn tightened his jaw and forced his eyes open to see his wrist still gripped tightly, Teburic's fingertip poised an inch from his hand. Aragorn swallowed back bile. This ordeal promised to be a lengthy one. Fevered and nearly spent, Aragorn could not risk the outcome of a prolonged interrogation. He waited until Teburic once again leaned low so as to speak directly into the Ranger's ear. "Well, Strider?" the thief-lord said softly. "I'm waiting."
Aragorn waited until the Dunlending's face was inches from his own before he snapped his head upward and felt the satisfying impact of his skull against Teburic's nose. An instant later, Aragorn felt an explosion of pain from his hand and heard a scream of agony before realizing it was his own. His body fought to curl protectively around the source of the pain, only to be prevented by the restraints. Blows rained down - blows from boots and fists this time – and for a short time he thought he had succeeded.
As he lay in contorted agony, gasping with breaths that hurt almost as much as the beating, he realized it had stopped. "Nice try," the Dunlending said, when Aragorn had gained enough breath to open his eyes. "I told you, I won't kill you. But now you get to learn another rule." The Dunlending stood and went to the corner. He dragged the cowering boy to his feet and heaved a meaty hand across his face, snapping the boy's head to the side. He dragged the boy over to Aragorn and pushed him down on the ground. "Every time you make me angry, he pays. Every time I ask a question, and you don't answer, he pays."
Aragorn stared at the Dunlending. It was not as if he had not expected this. "I have nothing to tell you."
Teburic dragged the terrified boy to his feet. "That's too bad for him, isn't it? I can't kill you, but I can kill him. And if you make me kill him, we'll just get another one. Maybe a little Ranger boy, next time. Or even better - a little Ranger girl. That might be fun." He thrust a fist into Rolly's abdomen, smiling grimly as the boy doubled over and groaned in pain. "Shouldn't have changed sides, Rolly."
As Aragorn looked on, Teburic dropped the boy to the floor and heaved a boot into his ribs. "I'm waiting, Strider," he said without looking up. "You can make this stop anytime you want. Or this boy's death will be on your hands." Another boot landed, and the boy cried out. "Well, Strider? What'll it be?"

Hi: 12° Lo:7°
By Kevin Unitt Wednesday 05 December 2012 Updated: 13/12 07:59
A FATHER'S "Herculean" effort to save his children when their boat capsized in Barford ended in tragedy as he and his youngest son were drowned, an inquest has heard.
Successful antiques dealer Julian Mynott, 42, and three-year-old son Freddie were killed after their small motorised fibreglass rowing boat capsized after being swept over a three-metre high weir on the River Avon, close to their home, on May 12 this year.
Also in the boat were his six-year-old daughter Florence, who suffered a heart attack, and seven-year-old son Archie, but both have made full recoveries after being pulled from the fast-flowing swollen river thanks to the extraordinary help of neighbours.
An inquest held at Leamington Justice Centre yesterday (Wednesday) was not attended by the Mynott family but a statement on behalf of Julian's wife Emma explained her husband had much boating experience and took the safety of his children very seriously, insisting all wore a life jackets before they went out on that fateful Saturday evening. Florence and Archie could both swim but Freddie, who could not, was excited to go out on the river too and was allowed along.
At 5.30pm neighbours saw them suddenly in difficulty, the boat having capsized and the children bobbing up and down in the water. The force of the current eventually ripped their life jackets away and Freddie disappeared under the water. Julian, standing up in the water, screamed for help as he attempted to swim through the current to reach his children.
On the riverbank, neighbours attempted to throw ropes out to the children and eventually one of them – Matthew McFadden - tied himself to rope attached to a large tree and lowered himself into the water, managing to grab hold of the older two children. They lost sight of Julian soon after. His and Freddie's bodies were recovered from the river later that evening.
Coroner Sean Patrick McGovern, recording a verdict of accidental death, described the case as "terrible" and offered his condolences to the family, adding "it would have been easy for Mr Mynott to walk away from this but he chose not to – he died trying to save his children."
Mr McGovern also praised the many residents of Barford who had done their "absolute best" to save the family, singling out Mr McFadden's contribution as especially brave.
In a statement DS Colin James, Warwickshire Police's senior investigating officer, also praised the "strength of the close-knit community of Barford.
He said: "Together with Barford residents, more than 50 representatives from the police, fire, ambulance and specialist rescue teams were involved in the operation and everyone, without exception, was affected by what happened.
"We can never know exactly what happened in the boat on that early summer afternoon, but we have heard today of the Herculean efforts of a father to protect and save his children in the most challenging and overwhelming of situations."

why do you need suspension travel to tow? Most(and by most i mean all) big rigs all have large air suspension setups as opposed to coils and shocks. The bigger the load, all you gotta do is air up more, provided you have heavy duty enough bags, and you're good to go. Any way you guys try to argue it, these trucks are just as capable as a lifted truck, provided it's built to still tow, most are just for personal satisfaction

How to Select
How to Shop for Low Voltage Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor lighting is one of the most efficient ways to highlight the most attractive features of your landscape and house, hide the less appealing ones, illuminate paths and entryways and create a sense of security and warmth. Low-voltage lights are quite a popular choice for outdoor illumination since they are easy to install, adaptable, safe to use and employ little power. It is also nice to know that cables of low-voltage fixtures do not pose the danger of electric shock and you do not need a permit to install them.
The first thing you need to do is to determine the purpose served by the low voltage outdoor lighting fixture. Do you need it to illuminate a path, steps or entryway, accent a statue or trees or light a pond or fountain? Underwater fixtures need to be lightweight, compact, rugged, and resistant to high pressures, while step lights should be bright enough to illuminate the top and bottom of stairs.
The next thing to decide on is the output wattage of the device. The brightness of low-voltage outdoor lights varies from 4 to 50 watts, with common choices ranging from 18 to 24 watts. The brightness of a bulb will be rather defined by its intended use: illuminating the steps may require a brighter fixture than artfully lighting a group of trees. The choice of the transformer to step down the voltage also depends on the wattage of bulbs: to determine its size, you need to multiply the wattage by the number of bulb sockets.
Once you have made up your mind about the functional qualities of your outdoor low-voltage lighting, consider its decorative possibilities. Landscape lights come in aluminum, cast metal, brass and wood. A verde or black finish will blend well with the surrounding garden. You can also choose the finish to suit the coloring of your house. Styles may vary from minimalist to aesthetically rich. Path lights can be visible or hidden, ranging from brass lanterns to tulip-shaped units, while outdoor directional spotlights pointed to individual trees or art works may include only bulbs.
The bulbs used for low voltage outdoor lighting are typically halogen lamps with a precision reflector and compact filament, but low-voltage LED and incandescent lamps rated for 12V operation are also employed. Halogen and LED units are more efficient, but incandescent bulbs provide more traditional illumination with a warm orange cast.
After selecting the outdoor light and an appropriate transformer, you can immediately proceed to installing the system because, unlike with other outdoor projects, the low-voltage installation does not require having expertise in electrical work.

Hi: 10° Lo:6°
By Dan Santy Wednesday 09 January 2013 Updated: 10/01 09:25
ENGINEERING enthusiasts gathered to mark the 175th anniversary of an historic dinner which marked the completion of the Kilsby railway tunnel.
Dressed in Victorian costume, members of the Institution of Mechanical Engineeres were celebrating the dinner attened by the father of the railways, George Stephenson, and his son Robert in 1837 at the Dun Cow Inn in Dunchurch.
It marked the end of work on the Kilsby tunnel - the biggest challenge faced by the men building the London to Birmingham railway line in the first year of Queen Victoria's reign.
John Wood, past president of the Institution of Mechanical Enginners, attended the commemorative dinner.
He said: "George and Robert Stephenson were the two first presidents of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, and as members we were hugely excited to be able to mark this anniversary at the very same location where this dinner took place on December 23 1837.
"It was during this dinner at the Dun Cow Inn, which lasted over 12 hours, that Robert Stephenson's staff presented him with a silver soup tureen to mark the completion of the tunnel."
Even by today's standards the digging of the stretch of tunnel, nearly a mile and a half long, was a major feat of engineering - especially when the presence of quicksand in the earth nearly put a stop to the job altogether.
And adding to the problems were around 1,250 labourers who worked hard and played hard, causing frictions with villagers due to their drinking, thieving and dog and cock fighting tendencies, according to F.B. Head who documented the project.
William Whellan, who also followed the work at the time, wrote: "Difficulties of an unusual character presented themselves during the completion of this tunnel. These arose from the existence of an extensive quicksand in the line of the tunnel.
"Extra shafts were sunk, and four powerful pumping engines erected, which continued to pump from the quicksand for six months, with scarcely a day's intermission, at the rate of 1,800 gallons per minute, till at length the difficulty of tunnelling in the sand was reduced, though the operation was still one of extreme difficulty and danger."
Under pressure to solve the problem or stop altogether, Robert Stephenson persevered and eventually succeeded.
But the work, planned to cost under £100,000, ended up with a bill for £300,000 because of the problems.
The last of about 30 million bricks was placed in position June 21 1838, just over four years after the first sod was cut, and shortly after Kilsby railway tunnel was opened to commercial traffic.

I've never met a woman who was satisfied, ah, I mean with using an Epilady.
Can some users chime in?
I'm curious too how well they work. I'm assuming this thing can work for "gents" as well, as long as you're comfortable with using the term epi-lady? I'm no Robin Williams, with a back hair sweater, but I'd be interested in trying something that doesn't leave me prickly the next day.
Can anyone comment? (about how they work, not my back hair)
gschweiger wrote:So men shave, and women yank out by the root. Makes you contemplate who is tougher.

I believe Mythbusters has proven that women are tougher!
I'll chime in as someone who's given epilators a go:
The biggest problems with epilators is they never get everything. I tried to use it on various places - armpits, bikini line, legs, forearms - and even with having hair the "appropriate" length for pulling, it took one or two dozen passes over the same area to clear maybe 85% of the hair. My epilator is a good deal "stronger" than these (mine has 70 something tweezer discs) so I can only guess that either of the two listed would actually pull even less out.
I would argue it's not as painful intensity wise as waxing, but it's a persistent sting and some hair is more deeply rooted than others. So there's going to be a few surprise twinges that hurt a lot more than others.
After trying to get used to working with mine for a couple of months, I gave up and went back to shaving. I just didn't want to invest the 3 hours or so to get all the hair out only to end up shaving anyway to get the strays.
I think if you're just doing one part of your body - forearms, or pits, maybe, it may be worth it, but I would not recommend an epilator as a general solution to body hair management.
Can't speak on epilators for face hair, though.
The Epilady Legend is 4 stars at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Epilady-EP-810-33-Legend-Rechargeable-Epilator/dp/B000FEPA2O
It looks like it's the sort of thing you either love or hate and I have no idea how you can tell which camp you'll end up in before you try it.
I have an epilator and I echo the previous sentiment. Mine is a pretty nice one and it takes me about 3-4 passes over one area to get all the hair if I let it grow a little longer than recommended. The 2 or 3 times I have managed to wince my way through the whole process it did remove the hair for about 2 weeks before I got a lot of regrowth, but I'm kind of a pain wimp and I just can't take the sting and ended up shaving again.
My Mom, on the other hand, uses one and LOVES it. She apparently doesn't mind the sting and with her arthitis it is easier to do that every 3 weeks than shave every other day. It's also safer because she can do it sitting on her bed rather than in a slippery shower. So that's my 2 cents.
I've been epilating for about 7 years now and I think it's the best way to remove hair from legs, arms and armpits. I am asian though so my hair has never been super thick and is sparse in areas. I first started with my legs as that was the most hairy. I was pretty young and my pain tolerance was lower, so it stung and I didn't really like it. But now I can pull out any hair on my body and not bat an eye. Fight through the pain, it's worth it in the end. My hair is really thin now that I don't bother epilating my legs anymore. So if you're looking for a long term solution, then this could work for you. I like it alot more than shaving ESPECIALLY for the armpits because there's NO stubble after and it's completely smooth for many days after. My hair on my pits are thicker so it takes the hair out by the roots every time. I only have to do it every other week maybe. I've never been able to get ALL the hair off of my legs with an epilator though. Even if I use it for hours. That's not a huge deal to me though because it's still really smooth and people wont be up close staring at my legs.
I would not recommend epilating for someone who's looking to remove fine thin hairs though. I get bikini waxes so I thought I could handle an epilator down there. Well the pain wasn't the problem. The epilator would break the hair under the skin so that it caused many ingrown hairs. I've tried it on my upper lip a few times. It's not bad but I'm not sure if it takes the hair out by the root or just breaks it. I find it easier to just pluck those out with tweezers.
It also helps if you use it right after you shower and take proper steps to prep before you epilate.
I've used an epilady before and it did a decent job. But I prefer to use one I bought from Target. I think it's far easier to use because it has a light on it. That helps sooooooo much to see the tiny fine hairs. It's by Braun and it's the second one I've gotten. They last foreverrrrr and I've never had any problems with them. I think I've had the same one for 3 years now. I also like that it has different speed settings and it's rechargeable and portable so you're not stuck by an outlet.
this is what I have if you're curious
but I'm sure there are better ones by now.
It's a moot point now, as they're sold out, but I found epilating to be the most painful hair-removal method out there. (Methods tried: shaving, waxing, laser, depilatory creams, epilation. Hair type: coarse.) At least waxing is quick. Epilation takes the process of pulling your hairs out by the roots and makes it last much longer.

Were you here for the endless "Remington - King of Shaves" razor commentaries?
My fav was "This razor is like shaving with a plastic spoon!"
gschweiger wrote:So men shave, and women yank out by the root. Makes you contemplate who is tougher.
I suppose if you force the choice into a context of toughness. Which method do you think makes more sense?
If it is about toughness, I'm glad the ladies tend to like fingernails. I'd hate to see them yanking those out too.
Can anyone confirm that the Philips Norelco AT895/41 Aquatec Shaver actually includes the charging stand? The "What's in the box" section under specs doesn't mention the stand.

Confirmed. We're adding it to the list. Hope that helps. Now, go buy 3!

Thanks. But I think I'll buy 1. Trust me, you get enough of my money as it is.

Ever do a double take when you heard the person standing in front of you ask for the Monster Mac at McDonald's, the Frito Pie at Sonic or the Power Steak breakfast bowl at Panera Bread?
Many of these "secret" menu items first began as items concocted by restaurant employees or customers. Others are discontinued former menu items that are still available for those in the know.
Restaurants are increasingly selling off-menu items and using them as marketing tools that make customers who feel like insiders want to share the information with their friends.
But in a contradictory move, many of these companies are showcasing these secret menus on their own websites. Mama Fu's Black Market menu is one example of this. (The company's Thai Fire Curry Dish is shown here.)
The trend is being driven by restaurants, such as Panera and BurgerFi, that want to speed up the process for filling complicated orders and to cater to dietary preferences.

Ikan Panggang/Ikan Bakar Recipe (Grilled Fish with Banana Leaves)
(Updated with new photos on May 28, 2012)
A true Malay classic, ikan panggang/ikan bakar (grilled fish with banana leaves) is very popular in Malaysia. Loaded with dollops of sambal or spice paste, the fish is grilled with banana leaves over charcoal fire.
The smell of burnt banana leaves imparts the fish with a smoky flavor and the sambal infuses the fish fillet with layers upon layers of spicy taste.
Ikan Panggang/Ikan Bakar is usually served with sambal belacan with sliced shallots. I love the sambal as it adds that extra kick to this wonderful street food, found throughout Malaysia.
The key ingredient of ikan panggang/ikan bakar is the sambal. I used chilies, shallots, lemongrass, etc., and a little bit of belacan as the ingredients. For the fish, stingray wings/skate wings are ideal, but I substituted it with a sole fillet (you can also use any flat fish).
Preparation might take some time as you will need to pound the sambal with a mortar or pestle (traditionally) or you can just use a food processor. As soon as the fish is grilled and the inviting aroma of the burnt banana leaves and the fish fills the air, you will realize that the end result is well worth the effort.

The pictures are gorgeous! Although I barely understood the ingredients you mentioned. It looks so tasty and I love food that is cooked on charcoal.
Almost wish monitor enable scratch&sniff. Almost because it'll b dangerous. Dun think monitors digest well.
Salut ;-)
Wouaw, it looks great !!! I have not tested that during my journey in malaysia…too bad. But I will try to do that by myself ! Yours pictures are like always so nice !!! you're an artist ;-)
RM, it looks scrumptious. Banana leaves must be easily available near you. Can't wait for the recipe.
ok, where is that recipe already?! not sure my keyboard can cope with my salivating much longer ;) great blog btw, and tummy growling food …
Wow! Looks sooooo delicious! This is one of my favourite! A must have when I'm back in KL! Still prefer it with Stingray!
i miss the ikan panggang place behind istana negara.
btw, did u grill them inside ur house? charcoal is the way to grill! ;)
yummy yummy :p~~~~~~(u know what are ~~~~~ hor?)
after u "air-freshened" your kitchen with smell-friendly hors'doeurves, you are inviting this aroma back again! Prefer this kind of food lah, the peng kang(grilled) fish in banana leaves…MmmMmmmMmmmMmmmMmmm
(the top-right corner of 5th pix…may invite imaginative wildest thoughts that it look like something though…just like how the omelet look like brain thingy…heh heh)
Can use tilapia fillet or not? They are easily found.
I can't believe that you weren't a "natural" cook when you first got started! Well, it is clear that you are a fast learner, the fish looks wonderful.
You definitely have skills!
Wow sedapnye. For me this and hot rice will do. No need for other thing.
wow, i would never do this myself, seems like too much work. guess when its readily available in shops, there's more tendency toward laziness. looks fantastic as always.
tummythoz : Wait till you see the 'gnaw' marks on my monitor. It's a flat screen, but you r right, still hard to swallow.
Bee : *closes eyes, breathes deeply* Know what? I can almost smell it..almost.
Hi Bee, long time no see, just an out-of-topic comment, I'm terribly busy with work lately, just joined a new company, a BIG company. I've missed so many delicious posts by your good self. Lemme settle down 1st and I'll be back soon.
Sue – I love anything grilled over charcoal or BBQ…it's just the best…the burned taste and smell…mmm.
Tummythoz – I wonder if the new Windows Vista will be able to do that. :P
Claude – thanks! I hope you will try this out…I think this is one of the must-try in Malaysia. I once took some American friends to try this dish and they almost ate everything, including the banana leaves!
Dr. Ve Thru – correct, I bought a pack of frozen banana leaves for my nasi lemak dish so I used them for this dish. They are almost like fresh. Smells good!
Pip – thanks and welcome. Recipe is up. :)
Tricia Lee-Chin – exactly, a must have.
Malaygrill – yeah, I cheated with an indoor grill…shhh, don't tell. :P
Tiga – Smell-friendly food is good, but tak puas hati after eating…have to eat stinky food again…well, can't help it. What does that picture look like? Tell me tell me?
Simcooks – Sure, but I don't like Tilapia, it has that fresh water muddy taste. You should be able to get frozen sole in 99 Ranch or you can also use red snapper fillet.
PE – thanks and yes, I didn't learn everything by observing my mother and my aunt in the kitchen, it takes a lot of practices and dedication. I will write a post about how I learn cooking soon! :)
Flower – correct, and dollops of sambal belacan…best sekali!
FBB – no need to cook lah, just go out at hawker center can get oredi, what for make at home? Hehe.
Unka – First you drool, now you gnawl, perhaps you are going to jilat your LCD next…I kesian your monitor! LOL!
Chris – welcome back and congrats about the new job. Do pop in soon okay? :)
looks lovely! nice pictures.
You keep cooking like this, then no need to come back Malaysia liao. Applause! Applause!
RM, you really wan to know? Look again and think hard. :O
No wan to say lah…you will know it when you know it! ;p
Looks as tempting ( as you ). Issit ah ?
That fish looks fabulous! I'm sure that it also tastes wonderful…
Yum! Thanks for posting this… we obviously grew up eating the same type of food. Every time you post something, I get a craving and have to call my mum to make it. She's always asking where these cravings are coming from all of a sudden…
i love ikan panggang – chinese style or malay style. the sambal condiment should be nice… then the fish will be nice!
Oh gosh…..
I usually steam my banana wraps, I've never tried to put it on a barbecue… I'll try this as soon as it stops raining over here…
That ikan panggang looks gorgeous,as usual…
Precious Pea – :)
Budding Cook – Are you going to make it?
PabloPabla – Mine is still not as good as those found at home!
Tiga – aiya tell me lah…izzit something very geli? I think it looks like 1 slab of fish eggs.
Karen – cool. Can you share your mom's recipes with me? ;)
Team BSG – Not as tempting as Melting Wok I must say. :P
Rosa's Yummy Yum – I like your name. Very cute. Hehe. :)
Lucia – You're spot on. If the sambal is good, even the fish is not marinated well, it will still taste good.
Vero – I like mine grilled…steamed is good, but it won't get rid of the fishy smell sometimes. :P
aiyoyoyo..tak boleh tahan! ikan bakar satu! tambah pedas!
OK taukeh Jackson, ikan bakar satu tambah pedas, mo mun tai!
It looks soooOooo good.
Two questions:
1. Which indoor grill do you have?
2. Where do you get toasted belacan and the banana leaf?
Wie – for the toasted belacan, I just bought Malaysian belacan at Asian store, and then pan roast it. For the banana leaves, I got them from the Asian store too, in the frozen food section.
Thanks for the info….
Okay.. what does Malaysian belacan looks like the in the store? For what I know, they comes in blocks and usually wrapped with paper and maybe plastic too.
Are we talking about the same thing?
Wie – correct, good luck finding it. I do not like Vietnamese or Thai shrimp paste…they are overly pungent for my taste plus they come in this gooey wet form…Malaysian one is dried and in block and wrapped with paper and plastic.
Wie, here is the picture of Malaysian belacan
OMG! looks delicious! thanks for the tips!
I have been searching for this recipe for a friend who lived in Malaysia years ago and she loved the "curried" skate wing in banana leaf that was grilled.
When we were in Penang and KL last year I tried to find the recipe for her without success-so I know she is going to be excited to see this!
I kept finding recipes for Otak Otak which is a bit like Amok in Cambodia and Haw Mok in Thailand-but each uses a varying group of spices.
Love this type of food and I a delighted to have found your site.
Just returned from our first trip to Cambodia and my 32 or so trip to Thailand. Love learning of these cultures via cuisines. BTW I m the Thai Food Editor on Bellaonline.com-so if you ever need help on things Thai-let me know!
hanks again for potingthis recipe.
San Francisco Bay Area
Oh my. This grilled fish in banana leaves looks delicious. My family dont eat bone-in fish but with your grilled fish in banana leaves recipe, they will.
Thanks for the assam laksa recipe, i tried out, superb then recipe. thanks

Prized Possession: The Panama Canal - Wednesday, March 25th at 8pm
Across a narrow stretch of land in Central America the Panama Canal works its way through tropical rain forests rising and falling by steps through the high country of the Continental Divide. This engineering marvel is a fifty-mile long waterway linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans through the Republic of Panama. By navigating this route ships can avoid thousands of miles and weeks of travel from the long ocean voyage around South America. Since its completion by the United States over a hundred years ago vessels of every type have made the crossing in more than a million transits between the seas.
The Panama Canal became a symbol of American military strength as well as the national identity of Panama. It has been said that the canal is the reason for Panama's existence today. But the issue of who should own the canal turned into one of the most contested foreign policy debates in U.S. history. Testing both countries would be the growing pains of Panama's struggle for democracy. In the midst of widespread dispute, why did the United States, one of the most powerful nations on earth, turn over to Panama, one of the smallest and least-developed countries, the most valuable waterway in the Western Hemisphere… and how did it happen?

5/21/13 Celeb Money Troubles
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, May 21, 2013
Just last month, JENNIFER LAWRENCE topped a survey of celebrities people would most like to see in a sex tape. But things change. MILA KUNIS has pulled ahead of Jennifer, 38% to 23%. Jennifer was followed by SOFIA VERGARA with 15% . . . ANGELINA JOLIE with 13% . . . and SELENA GOMEZ with 10%.
PARIS HILTON is at the Cannes Film Festival in France . . . because, you know, when you think about the finest in world cinema, you immediately think of Paris Hilton. She showed up with her boyfriend River Viiperi on Friday, and they were swarmed by fans and photographers. Well, River must not be used to the attention, because he was OBVIOUSLY not having a good time. And when a female fan got too close to Paris, he SHOVED her. Twice.
BARBARA WALTERS' 44-year-old daughter JACQUELINE DANFORTH was arrested for DUI on Sunday near Naples, Florida. Details haven't been released.
MARY J. BLIGE already owes $900,000 in back taxes to the state of New Jersey. But that's NOTHING. Because the IRS just filed a tax lien against her for $3.4 million. They say she didn't pay ANY federal income tax in 2009, 2010 or 2011. Mary J. is also being sued for defaulting on a $2.2 million loan, and her charity is being sued for not paying back a $250,000 loan.
SINBAD has filed for bankruptcy . . . for the second time since 2009. He claims he has $11 million in debt, including $8.3 million in state and federal back taxes. Also, he "only" earns $16,000 a month, which isn't enough to keep up with his bills. Meanwhile, he only has $131,000 in assets.

Monday, May 20, 2013
It's still not official yet, but the BEYONCÉ pregnancy rumors are intensifying. E! Online is saying it has "confirmed" that she and JAY-Z are expecting again. But they're not naming their sources. Beyoncé addressed the rumors in an Instagram post, but she didn't DENY them. She also took the message down. It said, quote, "I can't stop the rumors from starting, and I can't really change people's minds who believe them. All I can do is sit back and laugh at these low life people who have nothing better to do than talk about me."
Sources say ROBERT PATTINSON and KRISTEN STEWART have broken up again . . . but they're still living together, so it's not necessarily over for good. A source says Kristen is, quote, "heartbroken" and "so sad" . . . but he adds that they're, quote, "going to stay living at Kristen's house because of the dogs . . . it's not fully over or he would have moved out."
GEORGE MICHAEL was airlifted to a hospital after a Range Rover he was a passenger in crashed Thursday night on a British freeway. Paramedics say he suffered a head injury but is "recovering well". But his rep says he only suffered "superficial cuts and bruises."
Reportedly, Lindsay Lohan is avoiding Charlie Sheen's ex-wife, Brooke Mueller at the Betty Ford Clinic. Sources say the Lindsay is avoiding Brooke because she is a drug addict. The sources say it's creeping Lindsay out that Brooke has been trying to strike up a friendship. The sources add that Brooke is extremely eager to become best friends with Lindsay while in rehab.

"Teen Mom" skank FARRAH ABRAHAM still wants you to think she didn't mean to become a porn star. But she tried to sell the used bikini from her sex tape on eBay, and she's launching a summer tour of strip joints and an expo called Exxxotic in Fort Lauderdale.
During a performance the other night, KANYE WEST lashed out at the paparazzi . . . probably because he's still upset about hitting his head on that street sign. He said, quote, "I don't want no people runnin' up on me with cameras, trying to like sell pictures and [crap] to magazines, asking me dumb ass questions, throwin' me off my focus and [crap]. Harrasin' you all mutha[effin'] day. I ain't no mutha[effin'] celebrity."
Former NASCAR driver DICK TRICKLE committed suicide at a North Carolina cemetery yesterday. He was 71. Trickle actually called the cops ahead of time and told them they would find his dead body there. He left a suicide note, but there's no word what it said.
Lindsay Lohan is gaining weight in rehab now that the doctors took her Adderall away. Sources say LiLo has gained five pounds in a week since she stopped taking the drug at the Betty Ford Clinic. --She is complaining that she can't stop eating and has no energy. Lohan says Adderall is the only thing that helps her with her ADHD but the doctors want her on a less addictive drug.
5/16/13 Angelina Getting Ovaries Removed

Thursday, May 16, 2013
ANGELINA JOLIE hasn't said what she plans to do about her increased risk of ovarian cancer . . . or when she plans to do it. But the logical next step after having her breasts removed is to give her ovaries the same treatment. And "People" magazine says she's going to do that. But they're only getting this from an unidentified "source", not Angelina herself.
One of ANGELINA JOLIE'S doctors revealed an interesting bit of information about her breast reconstruction surgery: She has parts of a DEAD PERSON in her new boobs. During the reconstruction surgery, doctors used CADAVER SKIN to, quote, "create like a sling under the implant" . . . which gives the new jubblies a more natural look.
WENDY WILLIAMS has predicted that KIM KARDASHIAN and KANYE WEST will breakup 30 seconds after their baby is born. In fact, she believes that KRIS JENNER is already helping Kim get out of the relationship. She adds, quote, "[The Kardashians] just don't really understand what it's like to give up for other people."
JULIA LOUIS-DREYFUS is one of the richest celebrities in the world, because her family is LOADED. She's worth $3 billion, which is even more than OPRAH. She's also worth more than Tyler Perry, Diddy, Bono, Madonna, Dr. Dre, Will Smith and Ryan Seacrest COMBINED.

ROD STEWART admits he took a lot of steroids in the '80s to help his voice. But he gave them up for various medical reasons . . . including the fact that they SHRUNK HIS JUNK. He says, quote, "The steroids will take down the swelling in any membrane . . . including your [package]."
BRAD PITT spoke out yesterday about ANGELINA JOLIE'S choice to undergo a double mastectomy. He said, quote, "All I want . . . is for her to have a long and healthy life, with myself and our children. This is a happy day for our family." He added, quote, "It was really important to her to share the story and that others would understand it doesn't have to be a scary thing. In fact, it can be an empowering thing, and something that makes you stronger and us stronger."
CHARLIE SHEEN'S ex-wife BROOKE MUELLER is currently in rehab, and Charlie's OTHER ex, DENISE RICHARDS, has custody of Charlie and Brooke's 4-year-old twin sons Bob and Max. Well, according to RadarOnline.com, Brooke has been to rehab 20 TIMES . . . and two of those times were when she was pregnant with Bob and Max. And both times, she was being treated for her addiction to CRYSTAL METH. A source says, quote, "It's truly amazing that she was able to hold onto custody of the boys for as long as she did. Brooke's road to getting custody back of the boys is going to be very, very long."
Some psycho got arrested after he showed up at ASHLEY TISDALE'S house. It probably didn't help that he had Tweeted her 19,000 times since November. Okay, it was actually only 18,888 times. Not surprisingly, the Tweets got pretty creepy. Like this one . . . quote, "My body is yours & even as friends I [effin'] love how I make u feel like mom maybe we both got issues cuz nobody's perfect."

As a professional security guy in my day job, I have to say that it's not a terrible idea to create a system where only signed binaries can run. This is almost too inflexible to be usable on the desktop, but on the server you can sign everything during development/integration, so that your production environment has 100% signed and pre-arranged software with no chance for a virus to even execute.
This would be called a "defense in depth" strategy: our hope is that a web server (or any type of server) would be able to stop attackers at the front door, by preventing the web server itself from being compromised. Or even if it were compromised, ASLR would prevent them from finding the address of a library and writing shell code; they'd just crash the server with a segfault on their first pointer dereference or memory read.
But the reality is that really crafty, malicious hackers doing naughty things can bypass a lot of our front line defenses. So the hope is that a fully trusted, signed system would prevent execution of arbitrary code. I'm not sure how interpreters would work in this environment, though; anyone who could execute `python' (or inject commands into python using a web form or something) would have quite a lot of power on most systems.
Basically, from the point of view of a paranoid server security guy trying to deploy a production server, trusted boot makes a certain kind of sense. But I certainly wouldn't want it on my home computer.
Everyone please remember -- this is very important -- that Microsoft is not requiring that x86 mobo/CPU manufacturers lock down their hardware with secure boot. It should be possible to disable secure boot with a simple BIOS switch on x86 hardware. So as long as you aren't running an ARM device built for Windows 8, secure boot won't be a problem for you if you can follow some simple instructions. It's nothing like rooting an Android phone; it's literally just an Enabled/Disabled switch in the BIOS, that's all.
For those who want to run Linux on an upcoming ARM device with enforced Secure Boot, we're basically going to have to break the encryption or find a security vulnerability that allows us to "root" the device. But we have plenty of experience with that from Android and iOS, so I'm sure the community will find ways to do it. This Phoronix post and Matthew's article have absolutely nothing to do with the ARM case, though; that is a whole separate subject.
From the perspective of the x86 market, though, Secure Boot is just another option... it doesn't force you to do anything, it just gives you the ability to do something that may increase the security of your box. And for people who are safeguarding millions or billions of dollars worth of data on a box, that is a material difference to them, and they want it. If you don't, you can still buy that hardware, and disable the option.
The ideal situation would be that the option is enabled by default on products where a majority of users want it, and disabled by default (or not even present) on products where a majority of users don't want it.
So that would lead to a situation like this :
Servers (especially for enterprise use): Users want it; enabled by default; compatible with Linux thanks to signed trusted system (though not custom/proprietary drivers)
x86 Desktops and x86 full-fat laptops: Users don't want it; disabled by default; compatible with Linux because it continues to work as it has with previous-gen hardware
ARM phones and tablets: Many users don't want it but carriers require it because they're assholes; enabled by default; compatible with Linux thanks to signed trusted system (though not custom/proprietary drivers)
ARM Desktops: Do they exist? If they do, I'd hope it'd be disabled by default... but if you ask Microsoft, it'd be enabled just by virtue of the architecture.
Reality is very close to the above, and the main point of contention here is actually with ARM devices that have a cellular baseband and are connected on a cellular network such as 3G or 4G. The main objection(s) that carriers have to allowing uncontrolled code to run on the devices is:
1. Regulatory compliance: they need to retain strict control of what the baseband is doing to keep from violating laws by e.g. the FCC
2. Usage restriction/management: They don't want to let you tether, or if they do, they want to limit you to 5GB tethering plan at an additional fee
3. Bloatware: makes them money if you can't remove apps; developers pay the carrier extra $$$ to have apps installed that you can't remove. You could remove them with full trust e.g. with secure boot disabled.
Bottom line: if you expect to run Linux on a Windows 8 ARM tablet or ARM ultrabook, you're probably going to be disappointed. You MAY be able to get it working with the help of Matthew Garrett's efforts towards Secure Boot with Fedora or RHEL, but it may cost you money and you will definitely be limited as to your choice of software and drivers. If you aren't looking to run Linux on such a device, you can probably disregard this entire discussion.
For me, I will buy x86 desktop and laptop hardware with secure boot, but I will heavily research the product before buying to make sure that the feature is present and functioning properly, to disable it from the BIOS. Because as Alex said, it's possible (though unlikely IMHO) that the BIOS vendor could screw it up and cause the feature to be stuck in the "enabled" position, which would make your device as heavily locked-down as an ARM device.
I think that's the real purpose of secure boot and UEFI. Not that there isn't a legitimate case for secure booting but if it prvents you from examining ALL the source code and the firmware then you don't really know who has ultimate control of your pc and data.Quote:
Barring firmware backdoors
It's like if you send an HTTP request to a remote website without SSL enabled, and a response comes back, you don't know if someone in the middle has messed with the data somehow. You can't verify that it is coming from the endpoint that you sent your request to. But if you send an HTTPS request with SSL or TLS enabled, you are practically guaranteed (barring any vulnerabilities in SSL) that no hosts sitting between you and your endpoint were able to modify the data. If they were, it would immediately fail your message digest check, and your browser would give you a big error message.
This is what secure boot does, but instead of network data, it verifies executable code on disk.
My personal commitment to fight secure boot's unnecessary restrictions on regular users is this: I will never purchase a consumer device (PC, laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc) that has Secure Boot enabled, and cannot be disabled. Those devices can sit on the shelves in the stores, and I will buy devices that let me customize the operating system how I want to.
However, if someone expresses interest in using secure boot in an enterprise context (a server, I mean), I will probably let them know that it can be a good thing, if you know what you're doing. But it does add a lot of unnecessary headache to the configuration/installation of the operating system and software, so we'd have to perform a feasibility investigation to make sure that there are no roadblocks.
maybe this is the first act for linux users in the future.
and explain to me why is a hardware jumper to set the bios flash to read only not a better solution than UEFI ?
