It's called being a responsible adult. He could take the easy way out and get them the same things that they already have, or he could put some extra effort into it and possibly open their minds into new worlds they didn't know existed. "Happy" does not have to be synonymous with "mindless".
Isn't it interesting that Apple produced the "1984" commercial [here] all those years ago to show how different they were from the "one size fits all" model, and now they're advocating for it because it is them?
Seriously, I would be interested in seeing the taxpayer cost of this little photoshop session. And they wonder why they're being regarded as irrelevant and having their funding cut...
Berman's interpretation... made an honest effort at having a consistent, reasonably plausible universe that honored Roddenberry's vision.
Hogwash. The moment DS9 and Voyager came on the air, Berman had veered away from Roddenberry's vision. The very idea of the Maquis, while making the series more interesting, was expressly against Roddenberry's vision for a peaceful, we-all-get-along future. Berman was selling a series just the same as Abrams is selling movies. At least Abrams found a plot device that allowed him to tell an interesting story in his own way without destroying Roddenberry's vision. Berman can't say the same.
I don't think that Paul Krill has realized yet that Java is absolutely dead for new development.
...for you. While I have moved on to other languages as well for personal and outsourced projects for many of the same reasons you state, I'll have to tell the Fortune 100 company I work for that the millions of dollars per year they pour into new Java based projects doesn't actually exist...
Java has never really been a viable option on Mac OS X, and Mac OS before that.
The reason for this was never Java itself, but Apples stranglehold on the implementation and their very public "fuck you" attitude toward developers wanting a release within 2 years of the releases on other platforms.
In a rare fit, I actually read the TFA (I know, I don't know what I was thinking), and it leaves with the feeling that Paul is concentrating on the wrong argument...
He appears to be arguing that third-party vendors control Java through the development of their frameworks and tools. While most modern-day development is relegated to gluing together frameworks instead of actual programming, I think this misses the point in the same vein as when people talk about JEE being Java.
Java is a language upon which these frameworks and tools are built. For all of the good things Sun did for Java, they had a tendency to take the path of least resistance when it came to fixing existing features and adding new features to the language. If Oracle continues the trend, or does a worse job of it as many are predicting, third-party vendors will lost interest in developing these wonderful toys and will move on to other languages that are better supported.
I for one, abhor the ownership of Java by Oracle. Sun had a tenuous grasp on it through its design-by-committee approach, and I have no reason to believe that Oracle will improve on that approach given its history. Java had some wonderful ideas behind it, but I for one have been transitioning my investments over to alternate languages that have caught up and, for the most part, surpassed Java in functionality.
Well, that's my two cents and my cat agrees with me. So there.
Not to debate your desire to remain without kids, nor the instantaneous to short-term inconveniences of child rearing, but I doubt those studies can gauge the long-term satisfaction of watching your child evolve into a fully-functioning human. Many business owners don't make significantly more money or have more time than they would if they were doling out 40 hours per week for someone else. But the satisfaction of what they've accomplished makes the extra blood, sweat, and tears worth it.

Not that refusing to support a quasi-criminal organization is a good indicator, but when exactly did they start being trustworthy?
What, no "Real Genius" tags?
I was wondering if the other person who saw that movie was going to say something...

By quitting in the way she did, she created news, which invalidated her argument that nothing had happened that day...
Please please please tell me you were wearing pants while doing this... Happy place.. happy place.. happy place

Remember, today's 18 year old wasn't even alive when The Simpsons first aired.
Wow. Thanks for that depressing factoid...
...this works out to like thirty supernova every second! Shit's blowin' up like crazy!
Fantastic. It's like living in a Pinto!
Yes, because the other 49 states have a stranglehold on all of those qualities.

So what? What use is it to me that life continues when I'm gone?
You've obviously never been a parent.
