Thats the thing, I don't consider it useless, people like Jxself and your
community consider it useless and want it removed. Thats what started this
whole debate. I was saying i was glad it was there so i could learn about
it. Fedora was more of a pain in the ass to password grub.
Sometimes all you will need to do is turn your back on your laptop for less
then a minute, to give someone time to reboot it and change boot parameters
to assist their exploitation of you. And chances are you won't suspect
anything malicious went on.
The bios password is not useless either. Now if someone steals your
computer thats a whole nother story. And imo, full disk encryption would be
better, but even that is not 100%. Nothing is 100% but that does not mean
don't use any security at all...
