I'm not sure who I should be hating right now, so I figure I'll just hate
everyone.
When Adobe released version 6.0 of the TIFF spec, they described how to
use JPEG as a compression algorithm. A few years later they realized that
there were problems with the implementation, and released a new algorithm,
deprecating the old one. My image display library (Envision) listened to
Adobe and doesn't implement the old spec. An image writing library
somewhere in the company, well, either didn't listen to Adobe or is just
over a decade old. Right now I hate both of them. And I hate Adobe, too,
just for good measure.

We don't think of ourselves as being perfectionists, really. To us it's
more about desperately trying to have it sound more or less OK.
