Allow me to answer (a) Doesn't matter, you can't argue with the truth*. (b) Doesn't matter, you can't argue with the truth*. (c) Doesn't matter, you can't argue with the truth*. (d) Doesn't matter, you can't argue with the truth*.
That limit is called light speed. Our population grows exponentially but the volume we will be able to populate is a light-sphere whose area grows cubically.
God I hope not. My wife works in the film industry and the minimum health and retirement coverage required by IATSE is horrible. There is little incentive to provide more coverage than is required by union contracts.
Don't forget that although unions represent employees, they are bureaucracies and a form of private governance (as are neighborhood associates) in and of themselves and suffer from the same inefficiences and institutional problems and large agency suffers from, and as a union member, you are required to abide by the union's decisions.
Typically NULL is defined as ((void *)0). In most cases it doesn't make any difference but when you have two overloaded functions differentiated by only an int/pointer parameter, it's easier to select the correct one using NULL when it is defined as a pointer type.
That being said, I believe NULL is an abomination and should be introduced into the language as a special token 'null', similar to 'true' and 'false'.
"Without government money, that isn't going to happen."
What a load of crap. Spaceflight isn't something the government needs to be involved in except perhaps to regulate externalities. It's affordable to private industry, it's being developed in a mature market economy, and the potential rewards are sufficient to drive investement without any government intervention.
It is imperative that we get an extra-terran human colony but the government is the wrong institution to do it. I will grant that government funding in the early days of the space program was crucial but it's time to let private industry take over.
Perhaps links are good for you, but the majority of users have trouble working with any sort of hierarchy. Separating content, naming, and presentation seems like a great idea to a programmer who is used to factoring things, but to a normal person this interface is very, very intuitive. It loses some functionality that you may very well not need, but don't use it if that's the case. For the majority it will work fine and have a much lower cognitive load.
Legalize Infanticide. I agree that it's a hard line to draw, but you and I both know that the child takes a year or more to even begin to act like we would consider "human". Gurgling, cooing, shitting on your shirt? Sure it looks cute, but I assert that until the creature has the capability of acting morally it isn't worthy of moral consideration.
Mammals are descended from cynodonts from therapsids (mammal-like reptiles) which descended from the synapsid reptiles, which descended from the early amniotes.
Birds are descended from theropods, one of the two groups of saurischian dinosaurs, from archosaurs, which descend from the diapsid reptiles, from amniotes. Notable theropods are the raptors, tyrannosaurus, and allosaurus, and of course, aves.
The sauropods also descended from the saurischian dinosaurs. Notable here are the thecodonts, brachisaurus, and diplodicus.
The ornithician dinosaurs descended from archosaurs as well. Notable here are ankylosaurus, stegosaurus, iguanadon, etc.
Other ancient lineages are the turtles (from anapsids, from amniotes), crocodilians (from the archosaurs), and modern reptiles and snakes (from diapsids).
Believe it or not, I don't give a shit whether you live or die. I don't want to support your life, especially if you are old and decrepit.
I mean really, go ride a fucking bike. Jog your fat ass around the block and get that cardiac muscle working. Bad genes, congenital heart defect? Sucks to be you.
In fact, if you're not one of the people I personally know and admire, I'd rather my tax dollars went toward making you dead rather than keeping you alive.

It's pretty easy.
^C = copy
^X = cut (like the editing mark)
^V = paste (insertion point)
Duh. And they are in a nice little row.
Allow me to answer
(a) Doesn't matter, you can't argue with the truth*.
(b) Doesn't matter, you can't argue with the truth*.
(c) Doesn't matter, you can't argue with the truth*.
(d) Doesn't matter, you can't argue with the truth*.
Thanks for listening.
* Unless you enjoy being wrong.
I'm a smart guy, but I'm having a little trouble parsing that first paragraph. Maybe a comma or some extra periods?
Plus you can buy alcohol.

They're not spending billions to ensure the world's oil supply. They're spending billions to ensure their kickbacks.

Shouldn't that be "In Soviet Rush, You Get High on Tom Sawyer"?
Yeah, because copy and paste is so rare compared to how often you need to violently terminate your running app.
Bloat is there because it's cheaper to buy a new PC than to buy unbloated software.

That chick is in the top 10 on stileproject.com and I wholeheartedly agree.
Don't go watch the fucking movie.

so I could catch up on my drinking on the way to and from work.
That would be "thineself". In early modern english, the pronouns were:
m l
I, me, my/mine
thou, thee, thy/thine
he-she-it, him-her-it, his-her-its
We, us, our
ye, you, your
they, them, their

Don't have options. Pick something and stick with it. If it doesn't work, change it.
Real people don't like options. Weirdos like options.
Let's just see how that premie does with no life support.
This bug was fixed some time ago. Now windows checks that the function pointer was set with SetTimer().
There are other similar attacks still extant, though.
