I found the following: "Author's CV (resume)" (http://www.jafsoft.com/examples/rtf/rtf_examples. html) "A copy of the author's CV/resume must be included at the end of the"(http://www.waldenu.edu/acad-rsrcs/writing-cen ter/frmtyle.html)
from the what i've seen so far its reasonable to conclude that they probably complied with the published rules/standards and thought something like this: hmm.. 'MIT', it is prob good
thus they more likly exploited a system of trust, their mistake being that they trusted reputation, rather than the (implied) mistake of claiming they proccessed the content them selfs and thought it was good
thus decreasing the ~humor-value and significance as they directly exploited a system rather than an brain using human being
That PDF sucks. Use HTML.
well, html also has javascript; it can also track you. actually just by including a remote image in html you can be tracked, no javascript required, though i'm not sure if pdfs can use remote images about what kind of network connections can be produced to verify certificates.
though i must say that i am rather supprised that standard pdfs(adobes reader) allows for this, when i(and assume many others too) see a pdf i see a document, a standardized text file, not something with a mind of its own, it was rather nasty for adobe to sneak in something like this after previosly providing a clean and trusted standard, i guess i should have taken that animated banner as a warning to what has and will become. yes, you can use open source readers but look at all the joe averages that have been led to adobes reader by more tech savy people, joe average isn't reading slashdot and doesn't like change. and no you can't really disable javascript as it will bother about it everytime you close until you give in.
