The first 5 minutes of the Wizard of Oz are sepiatone. I used to think it was black and white/sepia film, then I visited Kansas and realized it's just that Kansas IS sepia tone! :-)

That aside, Hjostbisters was one of my favorite movies from that time. I have even made reference to "the Twinkie" occasionally.

Intel has done some good things in the day, but they have always been far from the infallible genius of their carefully manicured public image. Even the x86 was half accident. They had something going with ARM but dumped it because not invented here. Itanic was every bit the disaster it's nickname implies.

Then the whole debacle of rigging the compiler to sandbag AMD.

we are on a technical site, supposedly. The work required to ensure that every single seat is marked 'window but not really' vs 'window' and then all of the plane schematics are adjusted according to every single airplane is insane and may not even be technically possible. You are buying tickets through a system that doesn't know the exact layout of that particular airplane, it knows the model. The layouts change because airlines replace seats and may change the number of rows and how the rows are aligned exactly against windows and doors, etc.

I am saying this is ridiculous to sue for this, because it's clearly way too complex of an issue, just like most other real life issues, they are not 'black' and 'white', 'democrats' and 'republicans', etc.

This is nonsense, what if it is not a window but a door instead, should you be suing based on a technical name? Window seat is seat adjacent to a wall, aisle seat is a seat adjacent to a corridor. Then there are middle seats. I got 'window seat' many times, where the window is not directly in my row but it is somewhat between rows, so what? It's a name.

Only having a couple compositions and you've never heard of them makes him not notable. The racist Nazi crap just means he's unlikely to become notable for his composition skills any time soon, and suggests why he's putting such a large effort into pushing his obscure compositions into the wider public's ears rather than just toning down the racism and see if the quality of the composition can do the job.
