Wow, that was awesome, beats flash since flash doesnt have 3d. One thing though.... My laptop was frying. . It went from 52 degrees all the way up to 62, so I got scared and had to close the webpage before my computer burns up.

Wow Tetraca, thanks for that interesting info. I didn't know uTorrent was made in C++. I love uTorrent! It's so fast and small and portable! Wow, Azereus takes up that much!

Hm... I'm so confused! I don't know which is better! Lol, still I will finish studying both languages. It's better to know both than one--leaves me open for more jobs.

Agreed and it will give you a lot of advantage if you know both then if you stay on just one. Furthermore JAVA has nice thing called native methods these are methods written in other programming languages so if you have problem. With something to do it in java or more usually if you want to write crucial part of your program which needs to be executed very fast I would suggest writing it in C or C++ better and even better if you are hardcore in the assembler, although in most cases this might prove as futile attempt.

And for torrents clients I think Azureus is better and not because it has been programmed in Java but because it has been so compatible with everything and has planty of ptions.

I know this is an old topic, but I didn't see it when it was first posted, and I am obligated to leave my opinion. I HATE java. Java is terrible. What other language can you not compare a string variable to a string?
ex:

This is because Sun forgot to incorporate strings in Java and instead of developing it into the language, they decided just to make String a class, which makes you hit roadblocks like this.

Other things that tick me off about java:
You are forced to program object oriented all the time. Even if your program isn't object oriented you need to make all of your methods static so java at least treats it non OO, even though it still is.

All Complex data types are passed by reference instead of value when passing them to a method. So you don't even get a choice if you want your variable to be a pointer or not. It just is or it isn't. Not up to the programmer.

Why does java make it so difficult to change the amount of elements in an array. I understand about memory allocation but I would prefer if java would automatically garbage collect an old array and pass the values in a new array so you wouldn't have to go through this extra annoying step every time.

I put the code you say about strings, and it returns true...?

The thing that Java has with strings it that it reserves a special memory space for them, cuz in many situations the same string is made over and over and over, so this memory saves them to use it only one while the same string is being made, avoiding stupid memory usage.

Pointers are great, but pointers are unsafe (maybe not for experienced of course) but java provides different ways to manage this situations. If there was not, why would there be so many programmers doing all types of programs in it?

Maybe Java is not the best language, but it is now around just 10% slower than C++, and it really releives me to create a web app in Java using a Java server, and put my applications hosted in windows, and for the clients put linux/solaris servers, and not have the need to change everything.

Anyway, it is about what do you want to do. I have used a little PHP for little web applications and like it over JSP, but I hate using pure JSP for medium applications, the same I hate using PHP for them. You can use one of the many java frameworks available and they have everything you need to do really anything you want.
