You obviously don't work with PDFs the way they are intended to be used.
I work at a large daily newspaper, without PDFs we would have to save all files as high resolution TIFFs or EPSs. These EPSs can exceed 1 GB in file size, whereas the same file as a PDF will be around 5-10 MB.
You may not like the file format but to some industries it's a God send!
He is correct. I work for a large daily newspaper. When the Mars landing took place I worked in the department that toned all the images for the paper.
Upon opening a NASA supplied photo "from Mars" to tone it I zoomed in on the image. At the horizon line there was an obvious Photoshop created blur. To make certain I wasn't seeing things I used the blur tool and made an line jst below this line. Viola it looked identical.
Anyone who knows anything about photography will tell you that there is a focus plane. Anything between point A and point B will be in focus. It is photographically impossible for a picture to go from focus to out of focus then back into focus. It just doesn't happen, on Earth or on Mars.
Upon closer investigation the photo just looked like some place in Arizona or something. Someone had taken an piece of plywood covered it with lava rocks and such, placed the camera at a low trajectory and shot a picture with some sandstone mountains in the background. Since the end of the plywood was mile away from the mountains an simple Photoshop blur brought it all in perspective.
I have since looked in our archives to find this obvious hoax with no success. I'll try angain if I can find it I would love to share it mediocore forgery with all.
You see that's where it's military bloodline comes in. It doesn't land to let people off they are dropped in on large platforms. Like when they drop in tanks and such.
Buy an old Mac and check your E-Mail using Outlook on it. I have been running the same mac for years without a bit of virus protection. Never had a virus, never will.
Or better yet run Linux.

"Proven fact - 47% of Slashdot Loves Windows! [slashdot.org] "
Just because 47% use Window doesn't mean that they love it. That may be all they have or know how to use.
Just because a man drives a 1976 Ford Pinto it doesn't mean he LOVES the piece of shit.
No you can't patant a time machine, because the patent office won't accept it
You can't patent a perpectual motion device either. They see them as impossible feats.

Can't one thing serve two purposes?
What a crappy looking web site for a man whose about to revolutionze space travel.
All it needs is some dancing hamsters!
We can fit 50 something planes on an aircraft carrier and you think we can't figure out how to fit these planes into airports?
All you have to do it widen runways maybe.
Once landed the tips of the wing could fold up or down to make them the size of the 747.
We're only talking 12 feet on each side.

Bullshit!
How many people puruse the web looking for Jumbo Jets to buy??
Like, "We weren't sure what to get, but Boeing's web site was so nice we went with them."
Liquor?
No wonder these people won't shut up and getting their asses kicked.
I wish my movie theatre served liquor with your popcorn.
Or better yet liquor drizzled on my popcorn.
As Homer would say, "Mmmmmmmmm, Liquorcorn."
Once they get the story out Symatec's gonna unleash a wave of Mac virii they have been paying to have made.
Then they'll scream "I told you so!!!"
Oh Yeah, I went to High School in Fort Mill, SC.
Jim and Tammy Faye Baker donated millions to our school.
Guess what? They were still lying crooks.
By the way this is true too!!!
