I have studied or worked on unix operating systems since 1978. I know or have met most of the primary developers.
I have not misspoken. If you think I am ignorant or an idiot, please specify exactly what I wrote indicates that and why.
If you decided that you are no longer responding to me, then reverse your decision and respond— or else suffer the verdict of your own attempted judgment of me.
I observe that you defend the government’s position sloppily but dutifully. This makes me wonder if you are a fed, or a former fed, drawing a pension.
Peace out.

How's this for a start?
"BFD. Everyone has access to the binary code, which is all you need if you are really good enough."
That's nuts. It is a colossal effort to reverse engineer a complex operating system. Your comment also shows no awareness of the need for a valid Apple signature for the software; Something that can only come from Apple.

I didn't say I wasn't responding. I said "That's enough of me answering your inanities." When you argue in good faith, I will respond in good faith.

I wish. Nope. Still actively working in the Electronics/Computer field, and not for the Feds, either.
I am not specifically defending the government's position so much as i'm acknowledging it is legally valid as I understand the law, and I also observe that Apple is trying to hyperventilate and fearmonger about what it was asked to do.
I have stated several times that I am opposed to allowing the FBI (or any agency) to have software that will allow them to crack open phones without a search warrant. I have no trouble with a court requiring Apple (if they are able) to crack open phones upon the issue of a court order that they do so.
