I understand he also - while serving in a segregated military - got demoted essentially for fraternizing with black troops, and assigned to corpse duty (exhuming mass graves for soldiers bodies to send home) as punishment.
It didn't stop him. Later he'd march with MLK Jr.
A real mensch.

Didn't know a lot of his stuff, but surviving in that business for 70+ years, he obviously had a great deal of talent.

Had a question today related to Visual Studio 2013 and I remembered it was still installed on this computer (though I use 2022 these days).
So I tried to run it and it complained that my community edition licence had expired, did I want a new one? "Yes please" I reply. "Sod off" said VS. "I can't get you one".
So I google, and it happened because I stopped using it, and to get it back I'd have to update it to patch 5, and then do this, and that, yada yada yada.
I'll uninstall it. Get the space back! It takes 20 minutes to uninstall, and I'm presented with a dialog:
Setup completed!
All specified components have ben uninstalled successfully.
The computer needs to be restarted before starting the product.
Restart now
So you want to restart the computer to run the app you just removed?

That's because it updated the spyware used to track you during the uninstallation process. All hail Microsoft.

I often wonder how MS manages so many products
I had a MS Security Essentials update that kept trying to install
after it installed twice OK So I said HIDE this update that did not work
Like a NumNut I contacted MS Support we played the Update OS Game
Yes I am still running Windows 7 65 bit but MS Security is still updating
One tech that I think know what he was doing we did
sfc/scannnow
DISM.exe
chkdsk/f C:
NO Results message was 98 reparse records
Second Contact with MS Support I was told to update to Widows 10
and that updates for MS Security Essentials were not supported
Thank You Very Much I leave the room now
Still get MS Security Essentials updates
I guess it is still working Waiting on Windows 12 ?
Guess one department does not talk to other departments NO SURPRISE

Yes I know that, Pete. But I do find it odd that I can usually complete at least half of The Spectator crossword in a couple of hours, but very rarely get the CCC.

The Spectator clues are probably well written compared to our amateurish efforts

Possibly, but many of the CCC ones are very clever.
