C# is what C++ always wanted to be. It was written by people who had learned from the mistakes of C++ and Java. It's not perfect, but it's better than either of the others for the majority of desktop and server applications. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a Microsoft hater, or isn't working in that problem realm.
You might also want to have a look at the D programming language, which is a ruthlessly pragmatic alternative.
We only differ in our interpretations of just how bad that makes the situation. Seriously, life's too short - and there are too many well featured alternative platforms - to deal with that kind of insanity.
The shuttle is a low earth orbit vehicle. It's a billion-dollar-a-trip Ford van, and not a very big one at that. What, exactly, are they "exploring" up there?
If we're going to put things in orbit, put things in orbit. If we're going to explore outer space, explore outer space. The shuttle does the first badly, and the second not at all. Let it go.
There is no provision in Title 17 for abandonment. None. There is no need for the apocryphal reasonable person to decide this, because there is no ambiguity to be decided. The rights remain with the creator. You might as well argue that dead tree authors lose their rights if they agree to having remaindered copies pulped.

But don't apply to my company as a C programmer any time soon.
We should do something about that guy, and that guys like him at other places.
It's complete enough to use for major projects right now. What more do you want?
Whatever gets us up - and out - there again is fine with me. This Low Earth Orbit crap is getting really tired.
Here endeth lesson 1.

And then Microsoft did it right, with C#. Really. It's like C++ version 3, i.e. the one that finally works the way it's supposed to.
That parrot is more intelligent than most Christians!
Based on the original and detailed exploit report. No news on a patch for that, I notice.
I stand by my previous statement.
I'm sure you're very nearly angry enough to march right on down to the Army Recruitment office.
I'll start talking tough when I sign up, and not a moment before. I suggest that you do the same.
You are being somewhat selective in your civic values.
You go ahead and wait a couple of years for a more clever solution to come along. I'm quite happy with this one.
Shoot the messenger!
I don't know, I've never Kippled.
Oh, wait, you meant in America? In that case, the answer is "I don't give a fuck."

Congress has never funded NASA in order to do stuff in space. It's funded it to:
A) Beat the damn Ruskis.
B) Keep the pork barrel topped up.
You'll see Osama bin Laden in the White House before you see a substantial part of NASAs budget spent outside of the USA.

Don't worry, it was an easy mistake to make.
