That would be my assumption. So it isn't a done deal in the long term, but in the short and medium term, the Republicans won't get many, if any more chances to kill it. I'd say Obamacare, and whatever it ultimately morphs into, is now pretty much cemented into the landscape. Within a few election cycles, no one will be talking about repealing it.
The same applies to some open source projects. If you're willing to throw the resources at a project; whether that be your own patches and improvements, or financial resources, you're likely to get what you want out of project.
I've seen some of this so-called "superior" closed source code, and some of it is insanely awful, poorly documented cruft.
I saw a list of science problems for 2001. It's pretty short, as I recall, and cements 2001 as the benchmark for scientific realism in movies. As I recall, Apollo 13 was good enough to impress the astronauts who had been in that mission.
Parents do not have absolute rights over their children's treatment. I imagine every court in the industrialized world has had to deal with Jehovah's Witnesses who don't meant their child to have blood transfusions. A strong argument can similarily made for vaccines, in that the child's wellbeing overrides the parents' wishes our beliefs.
Rights are in general what a society deems then to be. "Natural rights" are in essence a fiction western civilization has largely agreed are inherent, and ought not be violated save in very specific and limited circumstances. Other societal rules also come into play; in particular enlightened self interest, wherein you agree to certain basic protections in exchange for your potential (though possibly never realized) need of them at some future date. Along with that goes the idea that such programs means desperate people don't do what desperate people throughout history have done.
In a perfect libertarian world, an insurance company should be free to kick you off if you're severely ill, and you're free you're free to crawl into a hole and die. But do it quietly so as to not disturb the Koch Brothers.
Every civilization since the dawn of time has requires taxes. Get out of your retarded fantas. Paying taxes is no more slavery than obeying speed limits is slavery.
I did the same on a VIC-20 my uncle loaned me. It was functional enough to have subroutines, variables, GOTO and simple IO. My uncle thought the whole thing was utterly idiotic, but it taught me a helluva lot about tokens, string handling, stacks, program counters and the like. It was probably the first project where I "got" programming and decided to become a programmer, way back in the early 1980s.
At least we can kick politicians out. We have no control over the fucktards in the stock market, and they probably have more influence over our economic wellbeing. What kind of sane economic system would let sociopaths and simpering morons even near the levers of economic power?
I use it where I need full exposure from APIs in Windows. What I do find is that it is gawdawful slow when compared to the old CMD.EXE batch scripts I used, even when those scripts had to use third-party tools to do clever things like determine a user's group membership. It has its place, but I find it an awful language. I'd still prefer a native bash-like shell and scripting language that exposed win64.
Yes, it's platform specific, which means, other than when I need to do some scripting, I could give a fuck about PowerScript. That's like complaining that no one is talking about bash.
It caught on because Sun put a lot of effort into making it cross platform. The first real project I used Java for was rewriting an AWK script I'd written years before that translated some bizarre mainframe file export into CSV or vanilla SQL. I wrote the the utility on my Windows machine, and thought it pretty damned nifty that I could take the.java bytecode and just run it without modification of any kind on the Linux server.
I don't code out of some desire to be a hipster. As we speak, I'm writing a Joomla component in PHP, a language I loathe (though it has improved of late), but it's the language the project requires, so here I am. In a few months, maybe I'll be coding in Java, if the project requires it. For me, the one place I have little or no desire to go is to any of the.Net languages, simply because of the lack of meaningful portability.
Microsoft could only wish.NET had the penetration Java has. Java may have its stinky bits, but at the end of the day, it's value is its ability to run on a large number of divergent platforms, from cell phones to supercomputers, running multiple operating systems and architectures.
While I learned programming in TRS-80's variant of MS-BASIC, my first "formal" (as in high school) education in programming was in Turbo Pascal, and I monkeyed around a bit in Modula and Delphi. I never did a serious project in any Pascal-like language, and knew few people that did. I simply didn't know anyone was still using Delphi.

I see no reason to insult anybody by comparing them to Microsoft.

I'm sure uucp is still around. My earliest "Internet" feed was new and mail and news feeds over UUCap. Bring back bang paths and modems!
That's because you actually saw him.

And if no policy can be found with such terms, you would die.

What a great idea. Deregulate health care! That will sure solve
That will sure solve the problem.
For some reason people want health care that won't bankrupt them. They look at what citizens of other industrialized nations get and want the same.

So letting someone starve violates no rights.is that about right?
Take a look at the people at your average Tea Party rally. There are plenty of people that bad.

There are open source Java and Objective C compilers. That strikes me as a pretty weak vendor lockin.
For something that's not a "real" language, it certainly seems to have significant penetration in the enterprise.
