Well if you are working on an embedded platform, then its just poor discipline to add a virtual destructor and it boils down to bad programmers.

And you can make your code slower by changing it! Oh the horror. C++ is, imo, a good language for a lot of domains. What goes wrong is when people try to use all of the features that C++ offers instead of just using the ones applicable to their domain, eg. I don't think you would really want to use exceptions in embedded programming. If you are on a platform where performance is the key, then you should be careful of what you are doing.

I think people are mostly blaming C++ instead of bad programmers.

What languages are these? because I have never used a language where the standard library was not flexible enough.

I was mostly referring to the language. The standard library that comes with Java is over-engineered to the point of absurdity

I suppose if you like over-engineering

I'm curious as to why you think slackware isn't organized

Apple isn't a monopoly, monopolies are treated differently

Why can't everyone just use the best tool for the job and be done with it?

Why would you give an iPhone to your 2 year old?

Whats so bad about the awesome bar?

What ever happened to exceptions, which were explicitly invented to handle errors

How would gotos clean up your code?

I've been running firefox 3.5 release candidates for the past couple weeks, and its been pretty fast and it hasn't crashed at all

I suppose you forgot what happened to tank-man in 1989? Oh wait, no one knows

I give him a few days before he "disapears"

With break and continue, I have never found a reason to actually use goto

Who watches the watchmen

Repeat after me, downloading music is not theft, its copyright infringement

There is no company called MAC, there is a company call Apple which has a line of computers commonly referred to as "Macs".

its hard to listen to streaming music on a mp3 player which has no internet connection

No, he is saying that the way people sell music now is not right, not that paying for music is wrong.

I find it frustrating that most people spend a quarter of their life just going to school and you essentially can't do anything that useful until you are at least 25 or so

I just don't understand where you would need an anonymous function with more then one line

I don't understand what the use of anonymous functions besides lambdas would be
