I've had a question for awhile that involves some non-web-based programming (C++, Java, etc.).

How simple would it be to have a "suite" software that can do the following?

1. display PDFs in a reading window within the suite,
2. display videos in a viewing window within the suite,
3. operate an otherwise stand-alone software from within the suite
4. not allow any of the PDFs, videos, or softwares to be extracted from the suite software,
5. have a "software key" callback system in place, and
6. have the ability to have "notices" and messages sent to be displayed in it

Does anyone know how easily this would be done by your average programmer?

I'm going to guess not very simply at all.

That would be an expensive piece of software.

By "expensive," what are you thinking? $10K expensive?

Nah, websites I can do. It's software programming I don't know as much about.

Sorry man, only programming I know is engineering software/calculations like Fortran, Matlab, MathCAD, Mathmatica, VBA, etc.

Sounds interesting, but while I can do it, writing code is one of my least favorite things to do as an engineer :).

God told Ender that he was going to be kept out of heaven, but Ender apparently has a script to get around that.

He sold his soul to Google to get it, I think.

EDIT: I actually did ask him. I got no reply.
