Adobe have been #1 on my Do Not Like/Boycott Forever list ever since they had Dmitri Sklyarov imprisoned and prevented from going home to Russia for over five months for giving a presentation (at DefCon, Las Vegas) on weaknesses in Adobe's eBook encryption software. Real criminals routinely get away with serving less time than Mr. Sklyarov did, and he was never convicted of a crime. Adobe execs to this day have not apologized or offered reparations; rather, they had charges brought against Mr. Sklyarov's employer, ElcomSoft. Mr. Sklyarov was not released or allowed to return home until he agreed to testify against ElcomSoft.

Interesting, I didn't know that. Well, I guess now I have to remove all *adobe* off my system, including flash player. I have gnash installed anyway.
Symlinking to /dev/null is way I haven't thought of, I just make the directory read-only.
