The problem is, I work in a language because someone pays me to do that. $BIGCO_X isn't gonna pay me to work in $NONBIGLANGUAGE. So no, Java isn't going away, and yes, that's because of my first point, which totally validates your final point:)
This is just another case of people claiming to hold beliefs they have not taken the time to understand. It's like me claiming I'm a Democrat because my Daddy said we are Democrats. I am no Christian, but, as I understand it, if there were a Christ as traditionally defined, he would not be burning another's holy book, especially one in which he plays a role as a major prophet. Utterly stupid.
OK, this and your last post -- are you a REAL person, or some kind of sad little bot trolling about? EVERYONE steals to some degree. I'd bet your purse on it, little lady.
I do not ever want to be in a position where my car takes over complete control from me. I don't even like automatic windows -- what happens next time I lock myself out and I can't just use a coat hanger to let myself back in?
Besides, I happen to be the proud owner of a Volvo S80, the least stolen car in America. There are plenty of reasons nobody wants to steal this bag of shit.
When my children's school forces them to use hand sanitizer by the gallon, and when I see other people's homes so immaculate a single mite of dust does not exist, I cringe, because I know we are no longer allowing children to build any real immunity to anything. Have asthma? Take Tae Kwon Do... the extra breathing you train yourself to do may just remove the asthma. This terribly written and short-on-details article has a real point.
I'm sorry, but my experiences with Dell, dating back now about 8 years, are nothing close to yours, and I have worked at places with thousands of computers coming from Dell. They have absolutely the worst customer service I have ever experienced, ever, from any company, though Comcast does come in a close 2nd, to be fair. I spent once 12 hours and 15 emails volleyed from CSA to CSA, no record of previous talks, having to restate everything umpteen times to get a laptop hard drive sled. I have rec'd broken machines and parts. Horrid.
I think the point here is that IBM, Intel, Xerox and the like did not start out as open source. Being involved in open source many years and many billions of dollars into running a company is not the same as starting out as open source, and leveraging that into a billion-dollar company.

Yeah, I guess you are right - using data to validate / not a testable hypothesis, over and over again, that's not *actual* science.
Fail. An Economist is, in fact, a scientist.
Greed (whether personal or financial) always has been and always will be the correct basis of ANY model

Where was god sitting when he created everything, including himself?
Where was the primeval atom sitting when it created everything, including itself?
I have asked both types of people, and they both give me the same hand-wavey answer.
hulu.com is 32% the property of NBCUniversal, which is now 100% the property of Com-crap. Sorry, pard-ner.
I fed the troll and became a troll for it ... man oh man!
there is no need to talk an enthusiastic person down like that

Look at the etymology of the word 'testimony'.

Well, we can't get to the moon anymore, less than 40 years after it last happened.

Hear, hear!
In these glorious U.S. of A., such rights exist only insofar as one's ability to defend them.
As a somewhat unrelated example on the same theme, how many poor people you know have survived five heart attacks, a la Chick Deney?
