Excellent musician.
He did music for another movie "Local Hero", recommended watch.
Very dry, very smooth, very well written.

"These mist coloured mountains" seems to refer to the Falkland islands if I'm not mistaken ...

Need to research on that, anyway, thanks for the hint.

I always understood that Knopfler wrote 'Brothers in Arms' in honour of his father, who had served in the Israeli military.
But (as is increasingly common) I may be totally mistaken,

I saw them on that tour in Connecticut, sixth row from the stage, right in the center. Awesome show.

Usually competition is what make greedy capitalist bastards care for their customers. Competition between producers is usually good for consumers.
Although, it seems this simple equation have some nuance to it.... There is a thought that has been nagging me for a while already, it seems nothing short of a huge company (i.e. near monopoly) could produce something as successful (and loved by me, at least) that the .NET Framework... (although, arguably, it was brought alive thanks to the competitive pressure from Java)
Anyway, today I got another product where competition seems somewhat detrimental to the consumer. Video streaming service! Now everyone wants to make one! Existing one have less new good movies than they used to have, and I have to pay x number of subscription to get all I want! 
This was prompted by seeing the trailer for "Luck", looks fun, only need to register to yet one more stream service (Apple TV)..

That annoys me as well - Paramount+ for example. They show one episode of Halo for free on Channel 5 (without mentioning it's just the one) then you have to pay for the streaming service to get more. No thanks!
I suspect that what'll actually happen is it'll boost piracy rather than subscriptions.

Oh so true, the wife and I have such diverse tastes that it is not possible to get streaming services to meet them, cancelled them all, then Oz blocked the torrent sites, now I vpn to the US and download.

I'm more inclined to think that .NET was born as a copy of Java, if I'm not mistaken they even had to change the name so it did not resemble "Java" too much 
(PS I'm not a Java programmer and not saying Java is better)

|
|
Well....it's exactly what I said?! 
|
|
|
|

I meant to say that .NET wasn't that innovative IMHO
