At least make it hard for a thief to boot up the computer and try cracking things with tools that you've helpfully provided for them, or so that it isn't going to be worth as much for them to sell because it can't be easily booted up and see that it works. My laptop has the BIOS password set, so you can't change settings. And it's set so it can only boot from the hard drive. The hard drive is encrypted, so it won't boot unless the password is given. It's not much use to an opportunistic bastard. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.8.13-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon May 13 13:36:17 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
