Thanks for that pointer, didn't know of this. Also for anyone interested in an easy way to use the JVM for other languages, check out crudzilla.com . It is primarily for web development but has basic editor for other development work.

I think the difference is that prior to the ACA, you didn't have much of a marketplace for the self insured, so you were artificially tied to your employer for the group insurance coverage. The ACA is apparently not perfect (I, like mo

Probably not... way too many users. I think fb would take a lesson from Instagram and leave WhatsApp relatively independent. Besides, only an insane person would pay $19 billion for a company just to shut it down :)

I agree Red Hat and pretty much every other contributor's result is a net gain. The point I was making is that the overall contribution isn't free. ie the folks working on it are paid by various companies. I believe all the major

Not sure of that...I may be wrong but I believe there is a karma type process in place for instance regarding who can contribute patches...I can't imagine there is much fly-by-night contribution...except perhaps bug reporting.

The fragmented government is definitely a major issue, I believe there was an attempt to consolidate municipalities sometime back, not sure how well that went. In some places it seems every few blocks is a new municipality. I am still holdi

I believe Camden is more or less under state control so it is right to blame the state. NJ has an awful track record when it comes to how it treats its urban areas. Newark, which would be considered a crown jewel anywhere else has been left

You are right, I am not the target audience. The point is that the effort required to keep a project like Wine going could be better spent on doing other things that make the overall Linux experience much more appealing. I used Ubuntu as my
