Quote:C++ a modern langauge?
Um........ Java is pretty much a modern language (it is quite a few years old, but it gets overhauls very often eg 1.5, 1.6). C# is also modern, Ruby is modern, I suppose PHP as well.
C++ is old. C is ancient. Basic is a relic
Very few people are using java as a main language. Java is mainly used for plug-ins and such, right? Java can't make programs, it doesn't have a compiler (in most people's definition.) It has to run on it's own virtual machine, you can't make a .app or .exe file with it. C++ isn't that old, I think it was first used extensively to create the neXtSTEP programs.
You may have a huge harddrive, but most laptops don't. I have an external, so I'm not really concerned about space either, but my built-in HD is only 40GB. The problem is that I have 2 operating systems, each only have access to 20GB.
f you play a Microsoft CD backwards you can hear demonic voices. The scary part is that if you play it forwards it installs Windows.
