Why I Hate the Apache Web Server

And yes, it includes a comparison to Sendmail."

...if only I had mod points, the parent would be the first anonymous post I ever modded up. :(
I've fallen off your lawn, and I can't get up.
Complaining in Comic Sans is a lot like attempting to network your home office using the standards outlined in RFC 1149. It is indeed possible, but all that you do is make people laugh their heads off in astonishment
This sig no verb.

A wonderful new dog book, one both humorous and heartwarming, has just been published. In it, author Jon Katz recounts his own very active education about dog behavior in general and working dogs in particular -- learning that occurred during this special year. Your editor, Barbara Petura, interviewed Jon recently to find out more about his experiences and thoughts about his Labradors and Border Collies, and about the world of working dogs from his perspective. He shared his views freely and directly.
Barbara: In preparing this interview, I read quite a bit about your book called Geeks: How Two Lost Boys Rode the Internet Out of Idaho which is the story of Jesse Dailey and his friend Eric Twilegar. In a sense, I saw some parallels between Jesse and your first Border Collie, Devon, as both were misfits or outcasts of a sort. Do you like writing about misfits and outcasts?
Jon: You are very perceptive. Devon is to dogs what Jesse is to teenagers..They are both Lost Boys, as I was as a kid, and I am drawn to the human and canine form. Although Devon - my wife calls him "Satan's Spawn" -- was vastly more rebellious, stubborn and difficult than Jesse. And that's saying something.
Here's a final little gem from Jonny Katz (sidenote: how can this obnoxious fuck live with himself?):
Jon: We are almost on a collision course in America. Millions of dogs, and no place for them to run freely, and a plethora of new and restrictive laws keeping them from going to places, working or getting to know people. It's disturbing how many aggressive, neurotic and unhealthy dogs I meet.
Add a CSS tag to highlight .pdf links:
a[href$="pdf"]{
background-color: red;
}
Pretty much every browser has this kind of capability.
I saw it was a PDF right away.

Why don't you take action yourself? You could associate PDFs with XPDF or other lightweight viewer. You could have firefox run a custom program of your own that converts the PDF into HTML and then opens it up. You could write a Greasemonkey script that annotates PDF links. If you're not a coder, put in a request for it on the Greasemonkey Wiki.
You're whining like a child.
