Getting good quality from that will be harder or impossible. I can get whatever quality you put in the PDF. Same as I can get whatever quality you put in a Word document.

Kinsey has decided to play devil's advocate. His repeated questioning makes no sense. Pssst, I can change your bill by simply screengrabbing it. Your feeble attempts are futile. Anyone who wants to change something will do so. That's why PDFs can be signed. Any modification is verifiable. After printing? That's a modification per se. A printed copy is invalid as proof.

You'd be hard pressed to develop anything worse than Adobe's Acrobat Reader. Just try printing something from it, you won't get anything remotely like what's on the screen. I often have to screengrab it and print it from Paintshop Pro. Huh? I never had any such problem printing from adobe reader reliably. I have, I never get the size I expect. Easier to put it into a photo editor with a screengrab, then you can fit to page etc. Pdfs are vector formats and by definition can be scaled to any size without losing resolution*. A pdf print dialogue box always has a "shrink to fit" and/or "scale to page" option. By taking a screenshot your rasterising the page and losing the benefit of the pdf. * Unless it had been saved as raster format. But that's dumb so not common these days. I think the last thing I tried to print was a calendar - I'd found a website that generates calendars for any month and year in pdf format. I wanted to print most of the page, cutting off the borders, but acrobat reader was unable to, so I just screengrabbed. I got the resolution of the monitor, which is fine. Anything should be able to print properly. PDF doesn't help here. Actually it does. That's the whole point of the format. It is completely device agnostic so it doesn't matter what you're viewing it on or printing it with it should print as the author designed it. You often see forms as word files and they never print or render properly. But what about how I want it? That's not the main use case for pdfs. It's mainly a read-only format - forms excepted. However, you can edit them in libreoffice draw or Adobe Illustrator plus others. Word allegedly reads them, but always makes a pig's ear of them. Why the hell would I want something I can't adjust before printing? I might want only the top half, enlarged to fit the page, etc. But PDFs are not designed for you to alter at will. They are designed to be printed as is, just expanded or shrinked to page. Why design something you can't use properly? Not everyone wants things exactly the same. Because that is not "use properly" :-P When I send a PDF it is print as /I/ intend, not as you intend. Because you're more important than me? You need your head examined. I want to print it as I want, not as you want. It is my document. I decide. You want to edit my document? Ask for an editable copy. I may pass it on, or I may refuse. And that's how it is, that's the purpose of PDF, no matter how angry you get. People like you don't get my business. -- "No comment" is a comment. --George Carlin |

So all those poor people paying cash are subsidizing you too?? 8-O I use it mainly for cash flow, so that I don't have to have a lot of money on hand for work materials. Besides the CC eliminating carrying lots of cash it also eliminates carrying lots of change. Big advantage IMO. People paying with cash in my area are the minority. Debit cards are different. They're unnecesary and confer no benefit other than not having to carry cash. DCs are good for people who don't trust themselves with CC debt. And a heck of a lot easier than writing checks. (Unless you pay off the CC each month cashback and other rewards are greatly diminished or eliminated.) A debit card transaction just transfers the payment from your account to the merchant. Each transaction involves a fee. I can't get away from cash completely (grandkid birthdays for example) so I do use my DC to get cash at the ATM as needed. Otherwise it just sits at home. Does that make you happy... people who use debit cards cause a price increase for the dubious conveinence of not using cash. Yep. We all subsidize DC users just as we do CC users. |

You didn't seem interested in it's contents then. And I don't see why you specifically state this one is a keeper, vs others you've kept. What's different about it? And besides, you've praised Malwarebytes many times over, when you aren't accusing them of planting malware on user machines, that is. Why do you give two ****s about what I have to say about the subject? Are you on the outs with Marcin again or something? Do you plan to use my post as ammo to attack Malwarebytes again? Dustin should have written to Marcin about this by now and offered to help them resolve the situation he has described. I did bring this to his attention when I was first hired and got to see inside the database. I knew right off the bat what a problem it was already and what a problem it was going to become if it wasn't dealt with. I did this multiple times throughout my two years with them. At one point I was told it was in the plans, but, clearly, some years later, it never came to fruition. Instead, culling was the method to keep the database size manageable. Rather than say, oh I dunno, retain/hire more people who can read/write assembler. But ****, that would rule out the leadership and most of the so called 'experts' Malwarebytes has. ****, can't be having that. No, instead, lets keep things as they are. I think I've raised this with him before but seem to recall him saying that companies ripping off ignorant customers was none of his business. That's not exactly what I wrote, but, I don't expect you to get much/anything right with all the alcohol you've consumed. Perhaps it's time for him to have a rethink about this. Perhaps it's time (long time) for you to accept the fact that Malwarebytes is all about the $$$ and not so much the customer. They are claiming to be an outright replacement for your old outdated antivirus for ****s sake, Do you really think being honest with their customer base is really a top priority now? It's not, but, hey on a good note, they are the type of people you respect; loaded with money, status, and ****ing people over to get there without losing a wink of sleep over it. Anyone stupid enough to continue using that software after Project Zeros analysis and my own comments concerning it deserves what they get. If you uninstalled your antivirus program and replaced it with Malwarebytes because that's what they claim you can do now, you're a ****ing idiot and you don't deserve to be using the machine sitting in front of you. You're a danger to yourself and others line, the best thing would be for Malwarebytes to issue another bad set of defs and go ahead and take that machine offline. Others won't have to pay for your ignorance then. I can't possibly be any clearer, David. -- What happens if you install windows 98 on a system with 2 processors? It crashes twice. |

You may want to believe that, but it's denying reality. As for your percentages, it's certainly not true around here (in Scotland where people watch their money). I know of about 15 tablets owned by friends and neighbours, and not one is Apple. I know of about 30 phones, and only 1 is Apple. I'm also in Scotland and iphones are pretty common. I get the bus to work and see a cross-section of people on their phones. I can easily believe it's 20% iphone. So 20% of people are gullible fools easily parted with their money, doesn't surprise me. So you both call bull**** and aren't surprise? It's a fashion statement, not a sensible decision. No one is denying there is an element of that, but it is where the world is. |
