SICK of Adobe's "security"
http://www.securityfocus.com/brief/592
Is anyone else fed up with the horrible bloated security hole ridden Adobe Reader that comes bundled with crap? I know I am. Does anyone else use something as an alternative? How do you manage updates for their sofware?
You'd think that Adobe would have some centralized mgt server available for administrators that constantly have to deal with their crappy products. Between flash and Adobe, I'm constantly wasting bandwith downloading their updates.
Same thing for Sun's java... that was also really pisses me off.
Quitmzilla is a firefox extension that gives you stats on how long you have quit smoking, how much money you\'ve saved, how much you haven\'t smoked and recent milestones. Very helpful for people who quit smoking and used to smoke at their computers... Helps out with the urges.

Foxit is a suitable sub for Adobe Reader. I found it quite satisfactory. It'll even run off a usb stick as a portable app. There's also PDF-XChange Viewer. I was going to give that one a whirl on this 'new' box. I still rely heavily on older versions of Acrobat though, v4 and v5 specifically.

Foxit is great for PDF's, but it doesn't support Digital Editions (read: protected e-books), unfortunately - so it's not a complete replacement for Reader and/or Adobe Digital Editions.

I got rid of Adobe, and now use visagesoft's free eXPert PDF reader. It is adequate for my very limited needs for plain reading of the files.
It does not auto-update, or if it does it is not on by default.
EDIT: Sorry, that was a sloppy post, here is the link......... they do the usual pay for stuff as well.
