[Ubuntu-BD] Fwd: Windows 8's use of the UEFI Secure Boot

[Shabab Mustafa]

This is the problem! When we just find a tiny clue that we can bash someone,
we immediately jumped on to that without searching whether it is true or not
and start doing spicy comments without any hard piece of information. And
day by day it is increasing at a seriously disturbing rate. I think as a
community now we are mature enough to mind our kiddish behaviors.

@Ashickur,

Can you give us some more solid piece of information on this topic, please?
If you can't, my humble request to you not to reinforce any kind of rumors
based on 'heard' without 'from names'.

Thanks for your patience understanding.
