Jaeusm, be humble man
You'd do well to take your own advice.

I think everyone reading this thread is laughing their asses of because of the way you respond to my posts.
Yes, logical responses to anecdotal evidence and ad hominem attacks are funny.

Quote:
you're trying to refute little statements I make (in a sly way) without admitting to the WHOLE POINT I'm trying to make.
Lets see, this was your point: "WELL, WHAT WAS MY POINT? I'm trying to say, the "majority" of the large companies work mainly with C++." I responded to it by saying that you need to back that up. Prove to me that all "big companies" require knowledge of C++. You have thus far failed to do that.

Quote:
you're obviously working for a company that uses Java
Actually, I already posted the language I use in my current job. You might want to read my posts before responding to them.

Quote:
There are MORE big companies that use C++ as their foundation than big companies that use Java as their foundation, right?
That is the assertion I've been asking you to back up. You made the claim, so prove it. Show me documentation. Show a study. Something other than, "my friend said...".

Quote:
EVERYONE knows big companies prefer C++
Prove it.

Quote:
You're not providing any data yourself
The burden of proof is on you. You're the one making the assertion.

Quote:
If I had a career, I know for a fact I wouldn't waste my time on some forum with a college student about whether C++ or Java is more widely used in big companies.
Maybe you wouldn't, but I would . Are you just starting college?

Quote:
You really don't need data to know what I'm trying to prove
Do I actually need to refute this statement?

Quote:
you've obviously started off in a smaller company that use Java more than C++ and you've been tainted with this.
Yeah, the Air Force is pretty small.

Quote:
Ah, I'm sure people reading this post can conclude for themselves that C++ is more widely used in BIG companies.
Well of course they can. I mean, just look at all the evidence you've provided.

I decided to do some of your work for you. I went some of the "big companies" and searched their job databases for java jobs and c++ jobs. Here are the results:
Northrup Grumman
- java: 211
- c++: 85

Raytheon
- java: 175
- c++: 180

Accenture
- java: 181
- c++: 63

Intel
- java: 34
- c++: 27

HP
- java: 403
- c++: 273

Lockheed
- java: 559
- c++: 619
