    Why dose an AC have a problem with you posting that the bank "May not be homophobic"? Let me think on this for 3.2 seconds..... Ok.

    When bold 48pt yellow text on red background flashing banners were on every website. When AOL opened the flood gates to the internet for the stupid. When spammers thought they were cool.

    You are kind of touchy today. Are you feeling well? Do you need some understanding and patience? Well...

    How about you piss off or else learn to deal with norms that existed on this site long before you stopped posting AC?

    Better?

    I am guessing that even after it has been pointed out. Your public education failed you so badly that you still did not realize that you can not spell.

  6. Re:Why does anyone use Adobe reader anymore? on Rogue PDFs Behind 80% of Exploits In Q4 '09 · · Score: 1

    Its not the point. What I am handed money for is keeping others in the company able to do their job in a safe and secure way at minimal cost to my company. That means that I have to hear some whining once in a while and keep Adobe reader off my systems. The risk is to high. If my people need to edit documents then they need something that is NOT a PDF. If they need to annotate the PDF then Foxit will do that. It will do it more securely and faster than reader will. My job is to push for best practices and deal with the bullshit that comes from it. Not to collect a paycheck and follow the path of least resistance.

    The requirements are shit. If you want to edit do not use PDF. PDF should be scaled back to what it was needed for. All these "requirements" are really just trying to use the wrong format to do what you want. When you try to make one format do everything in the world it WILL be buggy. It WILL be slow. It WILL be insecure. Its not like the users here never want a PDF to do something else for them. I just refuse to allow it into my environment.

    Primitive how. I use it all the time. I put it on all the computers in the company. It is small, fast and secure. I have never had a problem opening, reading or printing a PDF file. When doing those things it is in fact superior to Adobe reader everytime.

    So without even looking you assume that Google hires based on race. That if a company were to look only at ability when hiring that the numbers will come out perfectly even? You sir at the risk of being nailed as Flamebait. are a true fucking idiot and the reason those laws need to go away.

    We have seen equal opportunity here. Equal opportunity means that you research only the number. You do not look at why. You look at the number and regulate that. That is what equal opportunity is. It may not be what we wanted it to be but nonetheless it is what it is.

    Umm. Most people just install a client like bittorrent and then they search for something and click the link and the .tor file is associated already with their client which opens the .tor and starts the download. Maybe you like to have a more complicated setup but there are a crapload of idiots out there that can search for batman movie and start downloading via tor.
