If you want code that runs well on Windows, OSX, Linux, iOS, Android, and probably even Windows Phone (although never done any windows phone tbh) nothing else even comes close.

I can tell you right now that this comment made me laugh. Writing cross-platform GUI apps with Mono is incredibly painful and on OS X they look like outright dog shit.

That is NOT the point with SecureBoot. It has to be disabled right to allow booting of various imaging software and custom boot disks that lots of companies tend to use for mass installs. When the dust settles from that then it's highly doubtful whether SecureBoot will then be allowed to be turned off on new machines.

Frankly, this kind of backlash from OEMs is exactly the sort of thing SecureBoot is meant to counter, since Microsoft controls the keys to it.

But then you probably already knew that.

I work for a SaaS company. Our customers hold us strongly to the SLAs

Of course you're going to say that. The reality is very, very, very different. SLA contracts have holes you can drive a truck through in them.

If your providers aren't, then you need a different provider, better lawyers, or both.

Ahhh, yes. I need to spend money on lawyers..........

You mean the system that is processing many, many orders of magnitude more transactions that bitcoin?

The system that steals your wealth for the privilege of moving currency? Yes, that one.

So many that bitcoin as it currently exists couldn't even begin to handle them without major overhaul?

What a load of crap.

It's hilarious how its proponents have zero sense of perspective about their favourite little toy.

It's hilarious how anonymous morons profess to make statements on this they haven't got the slightest clue about.

No, and this comment displays the real problem with a lay person's view of 'money'. They believe rising prices are somehow necessary, or they represent rising 'values'. They do not.

Everything is relative. If your salary is going up that means everything else is going up as well, and what happens is that everything else goes up faster than your salary transferring your wealth to the wealthy.

Price != value.
