@El_Heffe said:However, your proposed "solution" completely misses the point. If I understand things correctly, person A is regularly receiving files that need to be passed along to person B for some sort of important processing (importing onto a database or whatever). So you are correct, this is a workflow problem. And the answer is either (1) change the workflow so that the files are not sent to person A and are sent directly to person B instead or (2) if person A really needs those files for something, then have them sent to both person A and person B.I think that's still missing the point. Unless the cow-orker is so unbelievably stupid that they can't follow incredibly simple instructions - 'I need this done like X, not Y' - or malicious enough to ignore instructions they understand the need for, then the only possibility is that they don't understand the problem. The sole responsibility, in that case, given that the problem is not hard to understand, is with the techie who is making it incomprehensible. To my mind, the techie who can't communicate with non-techies, and the animator who can't send an email are in the same camp.
What the heck is a cow-orker?
TRWTF is that this biased, factually incorrect article, one that manages to obscure whatever grain of truth it may have, has taken so much of people's time. Trolls should worship this guy.

Given that PDF is (IIRC, I might be wrong) a simplistic format for making printing cross-platform, why hasn't anyone just made a simple reader that doesn't have any of these (largely) useless scripting and 3D features and so on? OS X's Preview comes pretty close.

It wouldn't surprise me if Steam simply uses Windows API calls or whatever to defragment their game files, and not have built something of their own. And who says the Windows defragmentation process is the best anyway? There are countless defragmentation tools out there claiming to be better (I don't have any experience with any of them, so I don't know if any of them actually are better).
I'm sure that's what they do. In fact, all live defragmenting tools have to go through the API to some extent.
Reminds me of an episode of Numbers. Oh, the hard disk was caught in an explosion? Let me just wave my magic wand of data recovery over it for a few seconds. Hey, look, the exact text we're looking for!
As the comments explain, the reduction in bytecode size can make the VM use inlining where it wouldn't have before. That seems to be the real justification.
I thought it was going to be the web-history-leaks-through-:visited bug.
According to my mom, who worked in support at Oracle when it was being developed, it's "sequel".
