Plus it's funny as hell. I'm not even gonna quote it. I'm gonna let you see it for yourselves.

Here's another link for a Reader's Digest version of the story.

On Firefox a warning banner came up saying the author could not be authenticated.
A pop up came up saying it was from Adobe (not their logo) and I need to click to update
security system.  I elected to close that tab and was not allowed to unless I either X'd or
accepted the so called Adobe pop up.  I elected to ctrl-alt-del which opens the task bar
and allows one to shut down the browser with out that extra, demanded, click.  

?

ETA this post is in regards to the first link, not the Reader's Digest version.

The first link is to a pdf file from an IG report on the EPA's headquarters warehouse. Must be seen to be believed.

It's sort of like when the fire station catches on fire and they have to dispatch themselves to put out the fire at their own station.

Did they have to be called in from another office? Wait, it's fairly obvious they weren't going to abide by thir own rules, they never do.

Yeah...

And remember, we keep being told we are free...

We'll be free once the streetlights are decorated properly with libiots and the parasites they spawn...

The paranoid in me always checks links before clicking. When I saw that the link was to a PDF I chose to download it instead of opening it in a browser (opening PDF's in a browser can allow embedded code to execute before virus detection software can stop it). After D/L I did a quick scan for virus. When it came back clear I opened it and was greeted by two warnings from Adobe. Both wanted me to install some sort of helper app for verifying author certificates - ostensibly to validate that the document hadn't been altered or forged.

The document is safe to view - and interesting just like Trap suggested ;-)

Or maybe track who goes to the trouble to download and read?

You know - it's entirely possible AlanS. That's why I passed on the install. I trust Adobe only slightly more than I trust gargoyle - and I don't trust them at all.

I'm basically a cynical bastard by heart, I guess. That's why that came to mind.
