Google don't really need to. Now that big name phone manufacturers are producing Android phones, they're taking care of that.

a) C b) C++
C++ - There's a reason its "plusplus"

a) Windows b) Linux
Depends on what metric we use for "better". How do we define "better"?
Still, I'd say Windows though I do love me some linux.

a) Allegro b) SDL
SDL - as long as SDL_mixer,ttf,net,image can come too.

a) Chrome b) Firefox
Firefox

a) iOS b) Android
Android - F*** Apple.

a) Ubuntu b) Gentoo
c)Arch?

Dudette: But couldn't you just make C better?
Dude: ... It's C... "plus one." It's one higher than C.

It fulfills my needs better than C++ does.

I was thinking of Sony Ericsson actually. They've always produced the best phone interfaces I've ever worked with. My gf has an Xperia X10 Mini Pro, and apart from the physical problems I have with it (it's designed for people with small) hands, it's a very nice Android phone, with lots of nice SE tweaks. When I have the money, I intend to upgrade form my cheap Android phone to one of the big Xperia handsets.

You have to play Mass Effect. You Have To!

Yea I was reading about it. The idea behind the creation of D is smart. I went through the list of features (somewhat); they got rid of multiple inheritance and instead put in interfaces, Nice!

You Have To Play It! Then you'll see!

Do you really want multiple inheritance or do you just want to share code between classes? If the later then you want traits (otherwise known as mixins). Maybe C# will get them eventually. True multiple inheritance is rarely useful.

Hm? If you know what you're doing, there is no real need for multiple inheritance; as I was taught here (a.cc), by co-workers, books, and teachers.

+1

a) C b) C++
Depends. C wins for small, simple tools, C++ wins for larger projects which still cannot afford a more high-level language due to performance requirements. For everything else though, I prefer a language that takes memory management out of my hands and lets me focus on the actual problem. Of those languages, my current favourite is C#, but I expect Python to take over pretty soon.

a) Windows b) Linux
Linux for me, but I can absolutely understand why it's not for everyone. Windows is supposed to work out-of-the-box on any given (supported) system, and it usually delivers. Linux may or may not work: if you have unsupported or tricky hardware, you're in for a wild ride. And if you don't subscribe to the Unix philosophy, then the only advantage you'll draw from it is that it's free (as in beer), which isn't even its strongest selling point.

a) Allegro b) SDL
Never tried SDL, not using Allegro much anymore, so I couldn't really say.

a) Chrome b) Firefox
Chrome: snappier, better script debugger; Firefox: supports a few essential add-ons chrome doesn't have (NoScript being the most prominent one).

a) iOS b) Android
Don't know, don't care. Both use touch-screens. I hate touch-screens. Just give me a phone with keys, that works, and can be used as a GPRS/3G modem over bluetooth and USB.

a) Ubuntu b) Gentoo
Ubuntu: Bad experience, twice (two systems rendered unusable by upgrading a few packages). Gentoo: Never tried it, sounds interesting but a bit zealous, plus I've heard bad things about the package system breaking for no apparent reason.

Definitely not: There are situations where monopolies are beneficial, but:
1. this is not one of them
2. a monopoly as the most important reason to buy / use something is a purely negative thing - people get stuck with a sub-optimal, over-priced product, and there is no pressure toward innovation

1. C or C++

I'd say C++. Much easier to organise stuff when the project grows larger and larger.

2. Windows or Linux

Linux, just because I got so used to having it on my home desktop PC that I think my brain would bleed if I had to go back to Windows. That said, I do still use Windows XP in a VirtualBox almost daily. And Windows is all I have at work.

3. Allegro or SDL

Not enough information. (I've only ever used Allegro.)

4. Chrome or Firefox

Not enough information. (Never even tried Chrome.)

5. iOS or Android

Not enough information. (Don't use either. My phone is from the stone age.)

6. Ubuntu or Gentoo

Not enough information. (Never seen Gentoo and the last time I tried Ubuntu, it didn't work.)

I was just looking through Allegro 1.02's source, and found these comments in gui.c:

   ret = d_list_proc(msg,d,c);     /* wey hey! class inheritance... */
...
   return d_edit_proc(msg,d,c);     /* who needs C++ after all... */

I guess we know how Shawn would answer the first question .

Did you just bring up the Allegro 4 GUI as an attempt to make C sound better than C++?
