I rarely respond to people asking for advise on anything; I think it is
usually a waste of my time and theirs. . Examples:What compiler should I
get?

Gcc, in C mode only!!! C++ is way to new and unproven (only
20 years since inception!!!)

What OS should I use?

*nix. All other OSes are posers and used only by l@m3rz!
No fancy shmancy downloading - walk to the vendor
to get it.

In the snow.
Barefoot.
Uphill both ways.

And don't forget to get a lump of dry poison
for supper!

What books should I buy?

Whichever one I write, of course. Why should you
spend you hard-earned money on something
that may be usefull to you when you can just
give it to me?

What language should I
study?


English seems pretty popular. OTOH all the cute
girls are talking in french.

goose,
