Nope. A fit person should not have any problem with another 35lb bag. We are likely talking about former military officers here. These are people that at some point in their lives had to carry someone as big as you around. Possibly they even did that on a 20 or 30 mile march.

Nevermind the fact that the relevant bag likely has wheels...

This is a perfect example of the helpless (and rigid) mentality of the Apple user.

The solution is pretty simple really...

1) Take one of those trucks that they use to load meals and snacks and sodas and fill it with manuals.

2) Drive up to the grounded plane.

3) Open the door.

4) Shove printed manuals through the door.

No. We are talking about a well understood industry standard document format. The idea that 100 million dollar planes could be grounded over not being able to open PDF documents is simply appalling regardless of what kind of excuses you want to make for it.

If it wasn't Apple code that was directly responsible here it certainly seems that their approach to design was at the heart of all of this.

Didn't you read the article? Even the do-gooders in question believe that females are motivated by different things and that he focus of an engineering department needs to be changed in order to appeal to "girls".

It's the SJWs in academia that are assuming that women are wired differently and other departments need to adapt accordingly.
