Can I still hit WIN+R to get a run dialog? That's kind of important to me, as 95% of the time I know what I want and don't want to search for it.

Note the "IMO" that you used there. I don't agree with your opinion, I find the alphabetically sorted list to be the preferable option.
I don't search for files or folders (OK - only rarely), I know where I put things.
The other changes I welcome - especially the ability to disable those annoying hot corners.
For some of us, security is more important than usability. doom (14564) seems to be one of these people, as am I. From your comments, you don't seem to be one.
Get off my lawn. There's a difference between a document and an application, and I damn well would prefer that difference to remain.
That's why they call the Eternal September eternal...
Stop panicking, someone reported that NoScript functions in the beta.
Just sharpen the tip of the tines so they shine. You thought rusty was scary, but rusty but recently sharpened? That gives you a whole extra level to work with.
People seem to be forgetting that javascript can break a lot of accessibility readers. Everything about HTML, CSS, etc., was about separating content from layout. Javascript shits on that entire model, as does Java, ActiveX, and most other plugins.
That's because it was a shit model. Clear, yes, simple yes, all that useful for doing stuff, not so much.
You seem to forget that HTML, CSS, etc is for webpages, not applications.
If you don't like what HTML, CSS, etc model and want your stuff to behave like an application... then write a fucking application instead!
I'm pretty sure he is bitching about Secure Boot, not UEFI itself.
It's a shim, you probably don't even have to go that far. Think grub legacy - once the stage is loaded and running, it can chainload to anything else.
So you're saying the OEMs can install the keys, but the end-users can't?
We're talking about folks installing Linux - if they could, they would have no problem installing their own keys.
what they can do is sign another piece of secret claiming to belong to you, which is highly visible and obvious.
How so? If you trust them (why bother having them sign if not?) then you would trust the replacement.
Unless you check the KSN or fingerprint every time you establish a connection to be sure it hasn't changed?
Strange, you speak as if "geeks" was a single person and not a wide reaching group of people with vastly varied tendencies.
They took that out to slay the ASCII-art trolls.
Now, instead of just drawing dicks with symbols, they write up grand stories about them instead.
It doesn't have to be proprietary - the only thing that gets you is privacy. Other than that - I'd have to agree with you!
