Rush Limbaugh - Computer Tard
"What does the on switch do?" nice.
>> ^chilaxe:
Can anyone check whether the PDF file in question is searchable or not? If it's the type of PDF that isn't searchable, then Limbaugh is making a good point (albeit clumsily), and Olberman is wrong.
Well, only if security is enabled *AND* you're too lazy to print it out (sorry, *geek is ON) - otherwise, anyone with Adobe Professional can run OCR on that sick puppy.
Even in the unlikely case of MAX security on, you could print it out, then manually scan and OCR it. That is assuming printing isn't locked down too... in which case the truly nerdy could screengrab each individual page, and then print if they REALLY needed to... though at this point, the whole file should probably be password protected before anyone can open it for the ULTRA paranoid.
I spend WAY too much time with PDFs in my day job.
I think I'l turn this comment in to a lazy blog post.
