Forgot your password?  Software Technology  Adobe EULA Demands
7000 Years a Day From Humankind 224  Posted by timothy from the

last time you actually read and understood the EULA before
installing a software? Never? You are not in a club of one.
Unless you are a legal eagle, it would be almost impossible to
fully understand what you are agreeing to. Consider this: The
Adobe Flash installer has a EULA that is 3500 words long. Adobe
claims that the software is downloaded eight million times a
day. If each person takes 10 minutes to read (and understand!)
the entire text, they would consume over 1,522 years in just one
day. If we put that into man-hours: an 8hr day, 240 working days
in a year, that becomes 6944 years in a day. Turn that into a
50-year working life and that's 138 lifetimes a day! The
Register deconstructs the text that we all blindly agree to by
clicking the 'I have read and understood the...' checkbox."
