create jobs? feel free to tell dimitry skylov that/*however you spell it, and yeah, more of a dmca issue since adobe is the basterds doing it, owell*/. so if i operate a cocain ring and creat "jobs" in the distribution stage, the consumer market, the manufacture stage, and the growing stage, thats ok?

<sarcism>
actally if i were to pay taxes on it every stage like every other production corperation, the government probably wouldn;t care, just rember to tally the %50 crack tax into the price ok?

Create jobs? Hell, MS has created entire industries. Where would Symantec and McAfee be today were it not for the need for anti-virus soft to protect the inherently insecure Winderz? Then there's Norton System Works, Norton Internet Security, Clean Sweep, Ghost -- all dedicated to but one purpose: helping the customer overcome the many, many failings and shortcomings of Winderz.

But before you get too excited about that, consider this: what could we have accomplished by now with technology had all those dollars been invested in innovative new companies instead of companies that exist only because Winderz is so utterly fucked up?
