Speaking of Macs, Steam for Macs is available today and you can get Portal for free for any platform. :-:

If you're not nerdy enough to know what that means, it's OK, just smile and nod. :D:rolleyes:

C is actually really simple when compared to C++.

C# is a whole different beast.

After writing Java code through college and for my first job, I still believe it's a terrible language for most applications. For all the talk about automatic trash collection and memory management, it is one heck of a beast when it comes to system resources.

However, my experience with Android development has showed me there is hope.

Oh, I know C very, very, very well. A few years of it in school and a decade of it at work. I never wrote any production C++ code, but I spent a few months of downtime learning it via a book and it's all over the place.

Java was my first language I used at work after C was getting long in the tooth and I welcomed it. Then I had a project that used C# and that was an eye opener. I hated going back to Java with its ridiculous syntax.

You mean you don't enjoy writing things like this?:

Code:
public void dropTable() throws JdbcExampleException {

        Statement stmt = null;

        String dropTableSQL = "DROP TABLE jdbc_example";

        try {

            System.out.print("  Dropping Table        -> ");
            stmt = oraConnection.createStatement();
            stmt.executeUpdate(dropTableSQL);
            System.out.print("Table dropped.\n");

        } catch (SQLException sqlException) {
            handleDatabaseException(sqlException, "Dropping Table \"jdbc_example\"", 1007);
        } finally {
            try {
                stmt.close();
            } catch (SQLException sqlException) {
                handleDatabaseException(sqlException, "ERROR: Closing statement.", 1008);
            }
        }

    }
I can't imagine why. :eek:

Random story time --

I was at a bar in NYC many moons ago and a girl I was :rolleyes:'ing with at the time texted me and said "what are you up to" and I replied "duck hunt" because I was, in fact, playing duck hunt (and I thought this was a very amusing thing to be doing at a bar).

She replied about 10 minutes later with "you're a pig" (which is supremely ironic considering why she was most likely texting me to begin with). I was rather flabbergasted, and drunk, so I replied "what do you have against duck hunt? The dog annoys me too, but I just shoot the b!tch."

So she texts me back saying something to the effect of "go duck yourself."

It then dawned on me that she thought I typo'ed duck hunt and didn't consider that I was actually playing Nintendo at a bar.

:D





:rolleyes:~

At the end of my freshman year, I switched my major from CS to MIS thanks to Java.

That, actually, isn't so bad. I was think more along the line of anonymous classes like this (but, you know, production and not neat examples):
Code:
Button buttonC = new Button("C");

    buttonC.addMouseListener(new MouseListener()
      {//begin class definition
        //Instance initializer
        {System.out.println(
                    "Anonymous class C name: " +
                          getClass().getName());}
Nothing like throwing code all over the place. :rolleyes:

Delving outside of the Box reminds me why I put some :rolleyes: on the Ignore List.

You really need to write a book. Seriously.
