Few today remember the actions of Apple in the period just before the introduction of the IBM PC until the unveiling of the Macintosh. As the '70s drew to a close, Apple was being outclassed by the performance of microcomputers based on Z-80 and Intel 8085 chips The aging Mostek 6502 couldn't keep up and the Apple II's architecture was unable to support the I/O demands that were developing. Faced with languishing inventories of Apple IIs, Apple Computer, Inc. began selling the systems to schools at prices that were widely believed to be below cost, or "dumping".
Of course, dumping is an illegal activity, but Apple was never called on the carpet for it. It is likely that this maneuver saved the company, all the while indoctrinating a generation of nascent computer users in the "Apple way". You might wish to note, at the time Microsoft provided the BASIC interpreter for the Apple II.
... people are not entirely visually oblivious to the UV spectrum; most popular laundry detergents include UV reflection enhancers that make the clothes treated with them look brighter. Hunters often employ special detergents to avoid this and its affect on game. This leads me to wonder if those who claim to have adverse reactions, such as headaches, when in proximity to power lines might not, in fact, simply be more sensitive to UV spectra, and hence, these corona events.
To add to your observations regarding the P-51, it should be noted that its primary adversary were later model Messerschmitt 109s, the superior Focke Wulf 190 never reaching the numbers of production the 109 attained. Hitler had banked all on the 109, expecting a short war decided by quantity more than quality. As a result, the 109's ageing airframe was fitted with ever larger and ever thirstier engines. By late in the war, the 109s which scrambled to meet incoming waves of Allied bombers, escorted by p-51s, had the performance to give the Mustangs a run for their money, but quickly had to go back for more fuel. When the 109 climbed back up to the fray, those same p-51s it had engaged could still be waiting.
... much of the region is suffering from drought conditions. While eastern drainages to the Colombia have a fairly robust snow pack, many to west and south of the river are suffering. This would normally suggest the Army Corps of Engineers would want to hold back more water in the reservoirs, but this news impacts such actions. In the mixed new category, storms are currently lining up to dump on the region.

An intriguing proposition, but upon reflection, I'm left to conclude that, at least in the case of certain politicians, the Divine Architect assigned that function to the cranium.
I have long held that the former Soviet Union and its satellites provide the best example of the costs extracted from a society by the most common form of corporate welfare, being allowed to pollute. Unfortunately, it is a lesson the West has largely ignored.
Well, for what it's worth, I settled on Kubuntu 12.04 some time ago. The version of Kdenlive from the repos maddeningly crashed every time on render. I got the PPA version, its now 0.9.6, and have only had a very infrequent lockup. Maybe two or three times in the last several years.
I fully agree with your comments. Perhaps Kdenlive lost some potential admirers with those earlier, unstable builds. I know it was frustrating to get the editing done, only to have the software crash every time you tried to render. Hopefully people will get the word that it is now a stable, capable and accessible alternative to costly proprietary products.

So anyway, this line of attack is not new.
But why not just call ourselves "God" and be done with it?
... feed the ghouls.

... there's a fine line between going your own way and jumping the shark.
So, are you suggesting that handicap access initiatives are actually paving the way for Dalek domination?
... Daleks really are the pinnacle of evolution.
... and you get it from Internet porn!

How is this the tech industry and not the news media? The media is devising the click bait; Evans is just piling on.
... could the ethical operation of a company be characterized as irresponsible.
Barter is the way of the future. How many goats for that Lexus?

If God had intended man to elevate, he would have given him counterweights.

Thank you for your insightful post
At least at first, expect more hand-washing than environment cleaning.

What is your platform and what is your build, (taking software; nothing personal)?
