I think most here generally support neutrality. Some argue that ISPs should be able to prioritize traffic based on type but not destination - they could give priority to latency critical, but low bandwidth, packets like VOIP at the expense of FTP; but not give priority to their own VOIP traffic above other VOIP traffic.
Big business may be corrupting the elected representatives, but the blame still lands at the feet of the voters who keep voting the same people back into office.
He said limited government, not no government. I have never heard of a libertarian who did not support a criminal justice system and police force designed to protect civilians.

A huge amount of open source software is contributed by corporations or supported by corporations. It is not likely that these corporations would support such actions. If others did it anyway, many corporations would stop supporting and contributing open source software.
Debian and Mozilla have build farms. Individuals and small companies do not. My users are not sophisticated enough to compile from source. I just provide them a Jar.
In practice, there are some shortfalls with using a JVM. OS support for launching a Jar is not always very good. Often times using java -jar is inconvenient, so I need to write shell scripts. Then I run into Windows "System Administrators" who only know how to click through wizards and have no idea what a.vbs file is, so I have to provide a Windows installer.
Then there is the pain of trying to run a Java application as a Windows service, which I . . . I just do not want to talk about.
Philosophical issues aside, are you are going to go find every person who submitted code to a project using an open source license and get them to agree?
Portability, ease of development, and succinctness mean nothing if it isn't powerful enough to do what you need to do.
What do you mean by "lack of overhead"? Are you talking about runtime resources, development environments, or the constructs of the languages themselves?

I'll be the first to say it: Correlation does not imply causation.
Only in those words. The second line of the article is:
The study's authors aren't suggesting that "hyper-texting" leads to sex, drinking or drugs, but say it's startling to see an apparent link between excessive messaging and that kind of risky behavior.
Maybe someday it will be replaced by a large number of "pages" with useful content grouped into "sites" than can reference other useful content with "links".
Many jurors go into the courtroom with the idea that their purpose is to convict criminals and make them pay, and that anybody who is a defendant must be a criminal. They think the defendants are not like themselves at all. The do not think they are peers.
I used to have issues with Firefox starting out using about 20M and slowly growing until it had everything. I got used to restarting it every four hours. Finally I systematically started disabling plugins. It turned out to be the fault of a little plugin called "It's All Text!"*. I disabled it, and now Firefox stays between 20 and 25M.
* I guess it could be the fault of interaction between two plugins. The following set leads to increasing memory:

Obvious misleading. I guess we know where BBC stands on the issue now.

Compile once, run anywhere.
If somebody writes open source Dalvik VMs for Windows and Linux, it could be promising.
If you are rich, you get away with stuff. It is the American way.

See moving Linux from GPLv2 to GPLv3.
Who is willing to trust IBM?
We will not always have OpenJDK. Oracle can make changes to the VM spec and refuse to grant patent licenses to anybody else, which would kill OpenJDK.
We do not need a language-de-franca. We need a virtual-machine-de-franca. Everybody seemed to think that the JVM was it.

You assume that (non-human) animals have sin. I know of nothing in Christian theology that indicates that they do.
That depends entirely on where you live. Some of us have 6+% state income taxes, 8+% sales taxes, and 9+% property taxes.
There are several ways to define a KG using constants or atomic weights. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilogram#Proposed_future_definitions
The trick is that you not only have to be able to define it, but measure it reliably and accurately.
If the NSA broke in and stuck a small device into an empty PCI slot in your computer, would you notice?
