    It is possible to write C++ code that can be compiled for different platforms. You need to have the compiler skip certain pieces of code using a directive like #ifdef..

    Apple denying what you have an option to use affects you. Most iOS users don't know about it, so yeah they probably didn't think about it.

    Tricky, the way you worded it.
    Diet and health are some of the largest factors of how well,and how long you live.

    Now, genetics seem to impact as well, but more in the realm of 'how long can you survive with this crappy diet.'
    So if there where two of you, one ate well and exercised, and the other ate poorly and didn't exercise, you could see a 20+ difference in age span.

    I know people are like, 'I'll live a few years less to eat what I want', but it may not be a few years. It may be decades.

    Plus, who can you choose food over life? kar epeope really saying they would eat the best tasting and enjoyable thing possible in exchange for 20 years of life?
    Probably not. Their brain is creating a chemical reaction that have them make excuses so it can get the body more fat it think it will need.
