"Hey guys I'm too lazy to write code that's optimized for each platform! I know.. I'll make it crap on ALL platforms!"
You pussies need to start learning to write software for each and every platform. That's always better in the end.
No pain no gain, you pussy.
Right. Like i said, warrant's are only for permission - to read Lavabit's SSL private key - not development.
They didn't make him write new code. They just wanted the keys.
Again, you warrant don't cover development.
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.
You can't get a warrant like that. That's like asking for a warrant to build a bridge.
Warrants are only for permission, not development.
And I specifically banned netflix in my house because of the silverlight requirement.
Just limit the Silverlight plugin to run only on Netflix.
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.
Considering the first graphical web browser was written for the Next Operating system
So fucking what?
I'm going to assume that your stupid little rant is to make you feel better about hating Windows (wow! aren't you a rebel!) and less about anything to do with software development... of which you obviously know nothing.
Wrong assumptions + reading comprehension FAIL. Work on your personal issues and better luck next time.
we will have to wait until the next Republican President before we can bring Math and Science back to the middle east.
And out of the US!
You've been away for a while, haven't you.
Stellar rays prove fibbing never pays. Embezzlement is another matter.
