When one opens up the archive all the files are named that way too.  There is no explanation of what that means. Did some kid write this stuff in his basement or is this suppose to be serious? Do people think about the end user when creating this stuff or is it just a eureka moment "Lightbulb: Lets create some spaghetti!".
