i haven't seen anyone mention a chainsaw. i've been down there. and there are tons and tons of downed trees. you need something to cut them up before you can more them out of the way. a sawzaw would be nice, but a good chainsaw would be great.
we were down there with a group of about 40 college students. some lady was cleaning her yard and there were three guys there with chainsaws cutting up. so when 40 eager college students showed up, they cut and we hauled. we had her place cleaned up in no time. (just a story)
I am new to programming myself. But i have used C, C++ a lot and tried Java. And I like how java works with buffer overflow. But to trade all the power of C, ++ for a virtual machine I think is an absurd thought. A virtual machine takes so much functionality away. A good programmer should be able to check for that on his own and not have to rely on a language to do it for him. I am still learning how to manage my boundaries. It has been teaching me to be a secure programmer, and to be aware of what is going on at all times. It is teaching me to mean what I say and say what I mean. And to agree with comment #3127358, I have learned exponentially more from experience than from reading C++ in 21 days.
