Actually that is an error. Because most people don't know what something means, doesn't make their assumed definition of a word correct. Its still wrong.
More over, for words where plebeians muddy the definition, context becomes extremely important. So even if you hold to the idea that anarchism, through common usage, has a more common meaning, your context of a philosophical debate holds you to the strict philosophical definition.
However, troll comments are a good thing. They offer different points of view, fight political correctness, and are even amusing at times. They are way better than the "I have no mod points, but if I did I'd mod you up" comments that add nothing to a discussion.
"I'm entitled to it because it exists" is not a valid answer and shows you put zero thought into your stance. Not only is that not even remotely sustainable, but that type of philosophical argument is why our society is in the shitter. Internet exists, so Im entitled to that as well. Cell phones exists so I'm entitled to one of those too. There are people who think that way.
Life, liberty and pursuit of happiness are our basic rights, inalienable rights. This goes well beyond just the US Constitution and into the "Age of Enlightenment" and is the work of several well known philosophers. These rights are things that no man can take away from you or deny you from having. This does not constitute tangible things and to think so is pure ignorance. These are things like speaking ones mind, writing and reading what you want, living your life your way without infringing on others free will. This, of course, is all based on egoism or social contract theory.
Even if we look at this from a utilitarianism point of view, in so much as society as a whole is better if it shares healthcare among all its citizens, you run into larger problems. This is only better for a society were everyone is contributing to society. If someone isn't contributing, they should then be removed. Why waist resources on the non-producers? This is arguably much worse than social contract theory.
And before you burst in with its better for utilitarianism if we keep everyone alive, that's an unarguable point that bypasses reality. Healthcare is a limited resource and must be distributed as such. That being the case, a utilitarian society would need to pick someone to not receive treatment, so that others can.
As for the rest of your dribble on insurance, that had nothing to do with my initial question.
How about instead of asking us to justify why healthcare isn't a basic human right, why don't you explain your reasoning behind it being a basic human right?
I'd really like to hear a justification for thinking you are entitled to healthcare. I've heard ample people throw out that claim, but none of them have ever made a compelling argument as to why it is a basic human right.
Unfortunately, that's no solution. Outright rebellion will only hasten the demise of our liberties. What would the NSA love more than a conflict at home to tighten their grip on every citizen? The phrase "home grown terrorism" will start to become prolific and the ignorant masses will gladly hand over more freedoms to stop this new threat.

C does offer the ability for explicit memory management and if thats what you want to learn I suggest picking up C. In programming the lessons are transferable and always useful when looking at another language. What you learn in C can be applied to what you do in Java.
That being said, Java does a lot of the heavy lifting in memory management, but it isn't fool proof. If its java you want to learn about, try running your jvm with less and less memory. This will make you conscious of the size of large objects and ways of getting around memory barriers. In java this really starts to apply when you are using huge data sets and repetitive tasks. Poorly written code will start to see oom and stack overflow errors. There are plenty of tools out there that will analyze memory usage of your code. I'd suggest getting some and trying to decrease your programs memory footprint without a loss in speed.
This, of course is all computer science, and has little to do with most software engineering done today. Knowing these things, though, will definitely put you leaps and bounds in front of other software engineers.
Emory University's Campus touches the CDC, so much so you can look out of some of the windows in Emory and see into the offices at the CDC. They also work together professionally. Essentially this person is being transferred to the CDC.
I worked in the restaurant point of sale industry for a few years and one thing all the business owners had in common was technology illiteracy. They have no idea how things like this can impact their business, especially when it comes to credit cards.
On the bright side, PCI compliance highly regulates credit card information security and will scrutinize any company/network/point of sale equipment that comes in contact with credit card info. They will never pass inspection with no firewall, which means that they will need to become PCI compliant or face fines.
That point alone was usually enough to convince our clients to do things the right way.
I'm glad they got Ridley Scott. While he may never fallow the book directly, he offers a new approach to the story, always in a fascinating and visual expansive way.
Different mediums require different approaches and while Philip K Dick is a giant among science fiction writing, Ridley Scott is an artist with the big screen. I am hugely excited to see what he will do with this book.
Actually Ebola can be transmitted through the air. During the initial discovery and research into the Ebola, there were two major groups involved: the CDC and USAMRIID (CDC's military counterpart).
The CDC's lead researcher of Ebola did a lot of onsite visits in Africa with patients and never contracted the virus, so the CDC's stance is that it is not an air born illness. The team from USAMRIID conducted tests on Ebola in a closed environment with an uninfected control group. The control group was in the same room as the infected group but separated by cages on either side of the room so there was no physical contact between groups. The entire control group got infected, so if you ask USAMRIID, its air born.
The result isn't surprising do to the nature of Ebola. The virus destroys all tissues including lung tissue. Any virus that is exposed to the air in the lungs has the chance of being air born.
Research in 2012 also confirmed this with cross species air born contamination in a controlled environment.

If you dont like where you work, work somewhere else (all those who think thats impossible are bad coders or wouldn't take a pay decrease to be happy at work).
If you can't find a place that suits you, start your own. I have my own company working on artificial intelligence programs. Granted, I do it in my spare time and am currently the only employee, but I am enjoying it.

As of now, we only have political options.
Lol, they meant chip size getting smaller not the human interface.
You are comparing outright fraud with medical research. Just FYI, they are not the same thing.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Turning HTC BlinkFeed on or off:

My point was on the external phone designs themselves. As for the blinkfeed and Sense software, luckily, you can disable it.
It looks more like the HTC One. In fact its almost identical, especially with the metal case.

You laugh, but those suits were sold to a shipyard after the movie. They were used just as these are. That was in the 1980s. This is old news.

Problem being is all of these thrusters (VASIMR and the one above) only work in a vacuum. Good luck flying anything in atmo with one of these.

I should note the test/control group was monkeys.
