Java is not compatible "as is", code have to be also compatible. If you wrote your code, to use some Windows typical features, like desktop directory etc. it will not be portable. There is very large number of things that you can make and these things will not be portable - like GUI application...

Learn C only (and i mean ONLY) if you want to be a hardware/embedded systems enginner. If you want to programm PC's in future, then you can learn C or C++, but do the basics (control flow statements, loops, conditions etc.) and basic pointer understanding (can help a lot in understanding how...

As Java Language Specification says, all operators are resolved in term of largest length, so in Java "+++++" is not "++ + ++", so, this code would not compile.

If you alredy work with PHP, then you should be aware, that every reqest (also, from CRON) goes with single apache process. So you need several megabytes of RAM to handle request. Remebmer that process is not thread - process is a lot heaviest thing. For PHP to improve multithreading we can...

You can embed Java on your web page with Java Applet (old technology) or Java Web Start - both of them are not lightweight and will force user confirmation, not just simple start like flash player or something. In both of given solutions you must make simple GUI, not just application with main()...

PHP is not so good. First, ultra bad multithreading, nad cUrl-multi is a tiny funcionality in concurrency which gives you almost nothing. Also, whole error-handling pipeline is a mess - with PHP, you can write bot in some propabilistic way like, queuing task and then, veryfying all of them - I...

Get a distance to this thread and posts. Some of it as such BS so it is painful to read. Java is a great technology, espacialy for writing web -applications-, and don't eve try to compary it to Ruby or PHP ! Ruby and PHP are scripting. interpreted language for very small websites, not...

Remeber that learning Java opens your way to Android programming. This a big plus. I will give you single stronge advice - almost all of people here can be seen as low-experienced programers immediatly, by a developer with years of experience. So get a big distance to posts and flame war here...

That network already exists, see Stack Overflow

It could be done easy, but there can be a special case where this can be a very hard task! Remeber that browser execute JavaScript, so, your form can have some hidden functionality to dynamically create some hashes etc. from typed strings and this can be verified after posting at server side...

For tiny websites and scripts, learn PHP. For real work or more complicated solution, I would not go into C or C++, really! It is a way too much low leveled for GUI apps/web applications. I would go into Java or .NET. Don't even think about "C++ vs Java", the solution is simple - Java is a...

If you want writing more bots, not only single solution, then I wouldn not recommend you PHP - it has a very poor, or almost none of multithreading functionality. I am programmer with about 8 years of experience (several years in PHP) and I would suggest you to use Java, with Robot/Apache Http...
