    It’s like when someone says clip instead of magazine. Everyone knows what your talking about, stop being pedantic.

      Not quite the same thing. BIOS and UEFI both refer to the firmware interface. There can only be one, they’re mutually exclusive, and getting one instead of the other will rarely matter.

      On the other hand, “clip” and “magazine” both refer to different things which have different purposes. Some firearms have clips and magazines. Sometimes the magazine is detachable, like on some SKSs, sometimes it isn’t, like on some Mausers. Sometimes a clip is required to load, like on an M1 Garand, sometimes it isn’t, like on a Mosin. If you ask for one when you mean the other, that will almost always matter because having the correct one is usually the difference between being able to reload and not.

          Found the asshole.

          How DARE someone take an interest in firearms and ammunition. What a MONSTER I must be.

          Do you accuse archers of getting off to arrows? Do you also think mechanics like to fuck wrenches? Does everyone who speaks intelligently about computers get off to graphics cards too? Fucking weirdo.

          Funny how Lemmings will smugly proclaim that X, Y, or Z doesn’t define them, then turn around and label others for liking the “wrong” things.

        if you can run a UEFI computer by putting a bios on it, I’ll accept your comment
