    So, I was trying to validate my system meets the requirements for this LearningTree International thing where you take technical courses remotely. (It's all bullshit for work, but there it is.)

    Anyway, they have this Flash plugin you have to use to validate everything. Then we get to "operating system test." Linux 64-bit "your operating system doesn't meet the minimum system requirements." Ya, okay, whatever.

    I reboot into Windows. "Browser test": "Chrome is not supported at this time."

    Like... Wat????????????

    Flash is evil.

    I've encountered lots of really bad validation scripts, always with Flash.

    I hope it dies a painful death when everyone starts deactivating it for security reasons.

    Oh, I feel your pain here... (*hug*)

    Of course not, it's way better than the minimum, and they can't stand it. They want everyone on earth to have the minimum.

    Some of these education systems are the most backwards applications on the internet. Not supporting Chrome is not a valid excuse in 2015. Same goes for linux when dealing with browser based apps.

    God, I feel your pain so much...
