If this is true why aren't we using 7zip and the like? I've found that 1>> is fucking wrong. No one uses WinRAR to compress files, unless it's a crack or warez website. In actuality, WinRAR is only used when WinRAR shouldn't be used. RAR is the better ZIP, RAR is not the better industrial-strength protection you seek when transferring 6GB files.
I don't even know where I'm going or what point I was trying to make, but compression as we know it today is a shoddy, messy, wasteful business. Compression utilities need to take some fucking initiative and create smart wizards that sense for the best compression method, then the best compression settings for that method. I blame ZIP, and I sincerely doubt I'm wrong. ZIP is slowly unbecoming the holy standard as more retards learn that they need programs other than a browser to use the internet.
If only an OSS project like 7zip had stepped up in 1998 and said "We need a new solution." Instead, corporations jumped onto shitwave and the world followed.
Oh poor computer, when will they treat you with dignity?
