Who the hell are you anyways? I haven't seen you post anywhere else lately (that I can recall) now suddenly you're... here.
Certainly not. Like C#, Java, VB or pure C, C++ is a tool. And each tool has it's use. I would not use C++ to write a client side GUI and I would not use C# to write a server tier application. C++ is a very good tool, there is virtually nothing you cannot do with it, although it might not be as easy as with other tools. In any case, you won't get far with just knowing one language. I mean you would not expect to get hired at a construction site for your "hammer skills". You are either a worker, or not. There is no "hammer" guy there. The same applies to IT. C++ is a very good start because with C++ under your belt, learning the rest will be easy. But "just" C++ won't help you much, the same way that "just" C# won't. Fast forward 20 years and "just" C-doublesharpcrossplusextrahot will not be enough. You will need JavaAndTheRestOfIndonesia(Major), too.Quote:
So, nvoigt, are you saying there is no market for C++? That it is just a toy for those who like it and it can only be justly applied on systems where a framework the likes of .Net was not created?
You will never learn something that is the end of all. I studied C++ when Java was just the hottest, best, end-to-all-problems solution. Where I work we had a 3-tier system in C++ when C# came around. The other 3-tier system was then built in C#. Each has it's advantages, each has it's drawbacks. You will need to stay on top and learn new stuff to find the best solution to a problem at hand.

Indeed. Especially in crowds. However, that has little to do with you seeking my attention. :p

Speaking of, I finally got WoW. What server are you on?
>Let's say, hypothetically, I threw a gummy bear at you. That would impress you, right?
If you could do that across the web, I'd be very impressed. ;)

Your statement was fallacious and no amount of rationalization will fix it. By the way, you're still moving too quickly from the specific to the general and trying to use it to justify your broken logic.

Well, if it goes in the mouth and gets chewed, hey, free Gummy Bear!
>I am not moving from the specific to the general too quickly.
Yes, you are. You're using the specific instance of "A license for Enterprise Linux" to justify your statement that Linux as a whole is not free. This is not the case because there are countless exceptions beyond that single case where Linux is most certainly free by just about any definition you'd care to apply. By using a single specific case, and then applying that case as proof of a broader claim where it no longer applies, you've committed a fallacy. That's pure logic. QED ;)
By the way, you've managed to get my attention, but I'm already becoming bored. I guess you should have tried one of the better methods.
Since we're playing the attention game....
*dances on unicycle juggling puppies*
>You just don't know this
That's an unwarranted assumption on your part.
>because there is no person challenging your mind
People do challenge me when I make a mistake. If you haven't seen anyone challenge me then what does that imply?
>I told you that all of the Linux flavors come with a license and a contract
And I told you that I've no interest in a philosophical debate about the myriad definitions of free.
