Well, I was. Shut up.

Anyway, mr Alger refers sagely to the actions of the stupid, and while I wholeheartedly agree with his assertions I also beleive stupidity and malice are kissing cousins; let me mix this with one of Clarke’s Laws:

“Any sufficiently advanced stupidity is virtually indistinguishable from Malice”

” You should never attribute to malice what can be lain off to stupidity and incompetence”

I contend that at some level stupidity and malice are inseparable. Witness democrats.

at least that’s what the folks at Adobe must think every time I try to open one of their PDF files. because it invariably locks the computer and only using Task Mangler will shut down the offending file. Like anything “universal”, it only succeeds in making everything halfassed. Sorta like running Apple products on a PC; I think the developers deliberately fill the packages with bloat just so they can say ‘oh, you’d never have those problems on an Apple!!

I swear the folks at Adobe are just trying to bring western civilization to it’s knees.
