Obviously he worked in the university's crytography department and that's just a little in-joke.

The last one may not be quite such a WTF, if it works in older versions of Acrobat, but other PDFs on their site might not.

TDWTF now featuring Lolcomments, as seen on ICHC.

Anyway, why only download a PDF reader? Shouldn't I install it after I have downloaded it?

About the PDF: correct me if i'm wrong, but I guess it makes perfect sense. They use a functionality of Adobe Reader 8 (filling in forms), although the document may be viewed in earliers versions, or PDF readers of other vendors.

But agreed: it still is somewhat strange ;)

Yeah, Win98 has got full second generation USB support. Win95 OSR2 doesn't have support but OSR2.1 does (although it is rather flakey).

And that's how TDWTF died. It was good while it lasted, but once the plague that is lolspeak took hold, it's grasp was inescapable, and it sucked all brain matter out of the site, not unlike a hungry swarm of zombies...only this was much more painful to watch.

I couldn't agree more. TDWTF is not the place for this lolshit. We're supposed to be adults for Christ's sake, not a bunch of kids making image macros of cats and posting them on anonymous message boards "for teh lulz!!!1!!1!". Grow the fuck up already.

Maybe your brain has been melted by the idiots above with the lolcat-speak, but... base64 isn't encryption. It's a cipher/encoding. It's only encryption if you do it a few times, as previously featured on this site.

EDIT: further note - for double the data security, apply rot13 encoding twice instead of only once.

Given that the DOR document is likely distributed both in paper format as well as online, there's nothing wrong with instructions on how to tell people to get it online.

Of course, it's not as funny then.

And as we all know, Adobe Reader is the only application that can display PDF files. I'll leave it to someone else to mention the M-word or the L-word though (or is that the G/L-word?).

And users can't view/print a PDF on another computer either.

Let me apologize in advance for adding some signal to the noise. That said the pdf one reminds of the time I was reinstalling everything on an old WinME PC...
