If you don't oppose government, you're not an anarchist, end of story.
Sine you're talking semantics you also need to define "government". All anarchists may be required to oppose your definition of government, but it isn't the only one. For example, my Lions Club has a government (president, vice president, council, etc.) but I don't think you'd be required to oppose it as an anarchist.
And to amplify this, there is no way a call to 911 is going to only be 30 seconds long. If you're calling 911 first and then security, you're creating a delay of minutes, not seconds.
So if they are serviced by a public road at a huge loss to the state
They're not serviced by a public road. You might have a public road (really, a dirt track with the odd and rare sign) and then 20 house each 100 miles away from that road in different directions. So you'd need to string a couple thousand miles of fiber along the "public road", and then another couple thousand miles just to get those 20 houses hooked up. Multiply that a thousand times more and there you go.
Imagine wiring up a thousand small towns where each town is so spread out you need a thousand miles of fiber just to hook them up to the main line, which itself is tens of thousands of miles long. Then you can start to see the scale.
Wouldn't we also need to include all deaths from explosives throughout the centuries when calculating the deaths from fossil fuels (i.e. gunpowder and TNT)?
Could be. Could also be that insurance companies can make a ton of money by getting people scared about unlikely risks and insure against them. That's a possibility, too.
I wouldn't really call it a derivative of C#, syntactically they're very, very different. They both run on.NET, though, but then so does VB.NET and bunch of other unrelated languages (IronPython comes to mind).
I'd say it's more like various shell languages, though I don't know them well enough to know which it's more like (cshell, BASH, kornshell?)
It's amazing how much staying power this myth has, even after Adam Smith tore it down in 1776.
What do you think happens to that $9 billion? Does it sit in a mattress somewhere? No, it's only uses are to buy things produced in the US or invest in the US economy.
Yes, things like homeopathy aren't useful, but they don't actively hurt either. So why have regulations?
It's because of the fraud involved. Bernie Madoff was clearly running a pyramid scheme, so there shouldn't be any regulations against it, right? It's okay for people selling products to straight up lie about what it is, as long as it's obvious to most people that it's a lie it's perfectly okay. Buyer beware, and all that.

You sure it's not a CO meter? It's a different thing, you know.
There will just be new "60-something workers" that replaced them.
once a country has decided that the government has the power to regulate or control something
"When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are legislators." -- P.J. O'Rourke
So do a lot of companies, Monsanto's patent on Glyphosate expired many years ago.
I don't see a reason not to do this with GMO
We do, there are plenty of foods labelled "non-GMO". We don't have an "inorganic" label, there's no reason to start using an equivalent "GMO" label.

that 30 second delay can be lethal.

allayed only the most trivial of concerns
Heating, cooling, cooking, clothing, sanitation, medicine, education... yes, only the most trivial of concerns.

the fact of the matter is that the ingredients may well have beneficial properties
Since these aren't present in the remedy, what was your point exactly?
Well, exactly. That's why it can work.
So does religious prayer. Do you support it as well?

you loose it's point.
Oh my, bad time to make two spelling errors.
Java's garbage collection was revolutionary when it was introduced into modern programming languages (I'm forgetting about BASIC here).
It was revolutionary in LISP in 1959. A tad be earlier than Java, my friend.
PowerShell (derivative of C#).

That is $9 billion leaving our economy each year.

The folks from Enron (who aren't presently in jail)
I can understand the desire for revenge, but you have to admit that Enron isn't stealing money from innocent investors anymore.

Because some of us work in IT and need to be aware of this crap to keep it off our networks.

No, I'd be dead.
I think it has something to do with advertising and fraud, not the contents.
That's because no one died thinking they could replace real medicine with monster cables.
You keep saying that, but I've yet to see a reference. Care to share?
