The mistake we made (and continue to make) with Al-Qaeda is that we did treat them like murderers. We captured them, gave them lawyers, rights, etc. They should have been and should be exterminated on the spot. Pissing on the bodies optional.
Wars seldom end through peaceful negotiations. They end because one side completely and utterly destroys the other.
It doesn't work that way. Judges don't make rules, they judge the application of existing ones. Apple can not be compelled to do something that isn't already codified into law, regardless of what the judge or enforcement want.
Like wise, the most the cops can do is enforce existing laws.
The federal congress or state congress would have to pass a law requiring back doors. And congress we control. They are elected not selected. What you need to worry about is making sure congress can't do this sort of change in a secret vote and that you will vote them out of office if they try!
Sadly, they know most people don't vote, and most of those that do just check the party checkbox they've been checking since mommy and daddy indoctrinated them into the sport of politics.
I'd be happy if those fuckers just stopped overselling their bandwidth. I pay for the bandwidth but many times I get squat because everyone else is on the neighborhood cable loop. If the sell it, they need to be able to support it 24/7. This airline approach is bullshit.
Australia has a great garbage disposal system right off their west coast. Just toss these fuckers into the sea and the Great Whites will make them disappear.
All you have to worry about is PETA getting upset over feeding toxic wastes to the sharks.
Thats about the easiest solution to your problems. Pretty much every other solution you see in this thread is going to require more maintenance than a windows machine. You can't expect a bunch of armchair admins to provide you sensible answers, 90% of the response you get here are going to be custom solutions that aren't completely thought out and require 100 times more effort than the person giving them to you realizes. You're just getting spew from a bunch of guys who think they are super clever.
The solution is to make it so you don't need to support them, and if all they do is browse the web, a Chrome Book is the answer. The down side is that they become Google's bitch, but its probably worth it for your needs.
Ha!
Most likely not.
And very nice roads to run your Mustang on. Watch out for cows though!
I did say "small".
You're delusional if you think I want a new car . You wrecked the economy, crushed the housing market, and saddled me with student loans that can never be forgiven and that will garnish my wages even after death. until last year, i didnt have a chance in hell of getting health insurance. Most of my friends work more than one job, not many of them earn a programmers salary like me and even if they did theyd be furious to find out most of it (after the universities generous cut) is going to an apartment owned by a capital investment firm that doesnt care about my broken shower. I've never met my landlord but i sure as hell know who my loan officer is. A car represents tax, title, license, maintenance, and fuel money I dont have. It represents parking tickets and accident insurance and a parking space. Not only do i lack the cash to buy this car, but chances are likely i'll never have the credit rating you did.
So you're saying, that because sales stats show young people didn't buy very many cars during the worst recession since the Depression, that young people don't want cars?
That's like saying teenage boys don't really want pussy because they can't get any. Your entire post is one bitter rationalization of how you don't really want the things you don't have money to buy.
I live downtown and I reverse-commute to the exurbs because the traffic is easier and im not as frightened of minorities as your generation was.
Nice touch tossing in the ad hominem racism attack at the end there.
I hope tomorrow is a happier day for you.
Well, $80k will get you a pretty decent small RV, which I could drive to work!
For $80k, I'll just get that...or a small house.
No mention of Penny's Tits.
Useless.
Yep.
The last thing you need is all this shit hooked up to some site on the internet. If they were smart, they would deliberately design it so it can't get to the internet. Because you know some dickhead will break in and wreak havoc and then claim they were just trying to expose weak security or some other bullshit like that.
So, in other words, a professional work environment where you work on something that is essential to the economy.
Making web pages, cool widgets, etc may be fun, but there is and always will be a need for people to maintain the systems essential to running the economy.
If you think that working on "systems which have undergone years of maintenance by probably dozens of different developers", try doing that on something written in C or and of the other Alphabet languages.
Work without a vision is slavery, Vision without work is a pipe dream, But vision with work is the hope of the world.
