You mean that there are scientists publishing papers out there that don't understand basic concepts of statistics? Like, the rest of the world?
I'm truly 99.9999% e+/-0.5 shocked!

Truly. There was real need for a portable, high level and safer (really) language. YMMV but I remember doing C with embedded SQL that was a pain, non-portable between platforms, compilers nor databases, debugger-less, etc. Lots of pain. The same program in Java would be a breeze. No pointers, no hand memory allocation, portable binaries, even the database drivers are portable.
There are lots of applications that are better suited for Java than C or even C++.
If you download the installer from the developers site it doesn't. Or use the tar.gz version for just uncompress in a directory with no installer at all.
Is was that in the past, but is that true today?
According to the latest benchmarks in Phoronix http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=llvm34_gcc49_compilers&num=5:
Clang 3.4 offered faster performance of compiled C/C++ code in several areas but GCC 4.9 also brings some performance improvements of its own over the current stable release. Clang still certainly outperforms GCC when it comes to compile times, but aside from that the compiler performance competition is rather mixed depending upon the particular code-base, workload, and processor.
For being a much younger project than GCC, LLVM/Clang is certainly running nicely and now building with almost all C/C++ code-bases tossed its way, and with the 3.4 release it's one step closer to having performance parity (or superiority) to the GNU Compiler Collection on modern x86 CPUs.
That's cool for Red Hat but how applies to CentOS?

It's funny in some universe and not funny in another.
Let me check... oh no...
No, no, It's a bug in Intel codecs. They are going to fix it for their next gen CPUs.
Recent Java updates, for around the past year or so, have been increasingly draconian in their security measures.
Well, considering that Oracle has been consistently bashed here in Slashdot and other sites because of the security problems with applets and client side Java I would think that is very reasonable for them to increased greatly security.
Yeah but by the standard model protons are composed of 3 quarks so you may want to use floating point for something.
Scientists are really looking for the element that would induce mutant super powers by exposition.
...which would revolutionize landfills, since they would have fewer contributions. Sheesh, do I have to explain everything here?
What do you mean? EXPLAIN! EXPLAIN!
I'm using both The Old Reader and Commafeed. Both are similar. I liked The Old Reader design a little better but Commafeed had less unplanned downtime. Commafeed is also open source so you can run your own instance if you want to.
Redhat provides a quick start for Tiny Tiny RSS in its public cloud (Openshift) for free. I didn't try nor use it but some may find it useful so you don't need to run own server.
