I never used the original Wordperfect, I was only near people who were using it, but by the time I wanted to do any word processing at all I had an Amiga. And while I still had it, Workbench 2 came out, and brought scalable fonts along with it.

Of all the DTP software of any description, I align myself with PageMaker -> InDesign. I have used a number of packages and still go back to Adobe when I want to do some layout and typesetting. I go back to before they required a sub, though. My experience with it also goes back to Aldus. I've tried Quark, and yuck, they never did get the UI figured out worth half a shit compared to Adobe... or even Aldus.

And from this follows: there is a ton of ways one could fuck up performance with a shoddily implemented custom file system for a particular disk image format.

I only know a little bit about filesystems (I haven't dug into any deeply since using fsdb on SCO Unix) but even I know that. I want to know, in what particular way did Apple fuck up?

There Aren't Enough Cables To Meet Growing Electricity Demand [...] The International Energy Agency estimates that 80 million kilometers of grid infrastructure must be built between now and 2040 to meet clean energy targets

I'm failing to see the relevance of the text to the headline. As if we were going to meet clean energy targets? As if we were trying?

Allowing a customer to service their own stuff while still being responsible for the maintenance contract is a potential nightmare.

No, it is not. You write the contract so that if the customer fucks it up it's their problem, and if you have to undo things that they did when you get there, they have to pay for it.
