So what about app developers that do not use Xcode 5? What if they use Mono or Embarcadero's Delphi or C++? Is this there way of killing of developer system competitors?

Did you somehow miss the 'most' in my comment. It has what CLANG 3.1 supports which is quite a chunk.

Is that still the case? I know 'way back when' that food had a great difference in height. But more than quality food it was quantity in the years needed. It was caloric intake. So does better food now, in 2013, increase the average height of the population?

I bet its food quality. The quality of our food has gone down as we try to get more and more off the land. Health care has gotten better though.
So people are staying alive longer but are less healthy.

Embarcadero's 64 bit compiler uses CLANG 3.1, so it has most of C++11

Quoting a lower ranked answer because I use 64 bit Embarcaderos compiler and find it quite nice.
"Hmm, I looked at their website and see prices from $999 to $3999. The 64 bit compiler is included at the $999. Looks like all kinds of enterprise database stuff is in the $3999 version."

judgecorp writes: "Russia, China and other nations have withdrawn proposals to take control over the Internet within their borders. The proposals, handed to the World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT) on Friday, caused widespread dismay and protest. The WCIT event in Dubai, run by the UN agency ITU, is working on new International Telecommunications Regulations (ITRs) which are due for their first revision since the emergence of the mass Internet. The line-up of nations wanting to formalise their power to restrict the Internet included Russia, China, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Sudan and Egypt. Their proposal has been withdrawn without explanation, an ITU spokesperson confirmed."
Submission + - Nano-sandwich material claimed to boost solar cell efficiency by 175 percent (gizmag.com) 1
cylonlover writes: One of the main reasons that solar cells aren’t more efficient at converting sunlight into electricity is because much of that sunlight is reflected off the cell, or can’t be fully absorbed by it. A new sandwich-like material created by researchers at Princeton University, however, is claimed to dramatically address that problem – by minimizing reflection and increasing absorption, it reportedly boosts the efficiency of organic solar cells by 175 percent.
Submission + - How are people using snort? (sourcforge.net)
zhennian writes: "Back in the early 2000s I wrote a visualisation program for snort. At this point it seemed that the most common installation was snort running with mysql output and acidBASE used as a php frontend to view the alerts. Now that I have enough time to look at re-writing ScanMap3D, it seems that the world of snort has changed. 2.9.3 no longer outputs to mysql, and the whole barnyard process seems a bit tedious. Do people still use snort? What are the most common databases alerts are logged to. I don't want to waste time re-writing a program that won't talk to anything relevant. Any thoughts on where to proceed with the project welcome."
