England should declare independence from the United Kingdom before Scotland can.
That'd piss all over their chips.
Which would probably ruin their breakfast.

At least Mel Gibson can claim his rightful place as king of Scotland.

When I heard the Mel Gibson was going to play William Wallace I thought it was really bad casting.
But it turns out he is an alcoholic, mean-tempered racist, so it was right up his street.

That way they will also automatically get expelled from the EU, which seem to be somewhat a priority for many politicians anyway.

That is the question.
I am looking at using Embarcadero (either C++ Builder or Delphi) to write some windows/win8/android/iphone apps. I briefly looked at Xamarin but it is out of my price range. Besides, I don't really care to make monthly payments to them.
I currently don't have a Mac so I realize that I can't actually write an iphone app but I do want the ability to when I can.
I am just looking for folks who have used Embarcadero to create the apps or experienced it in some way. I used C++ Builder years ago and really liked it, I also used Delphi about 10 years ago. So this should be familiar to me.
Any suggestions?

The license is perpetual, so you if you're happy with the latest upgrade you can continue to use it to build apps without forking out more $.

Especially since that other one charges like $3.7k, I'd rather pay $300.

Good suggestion. I was looking at the starter edition (159.00). There are some limits but I am fine with those for the time being. The next step up for me was professional, which is 512.00. I figured that would last for a few years. That is 670 for a few years. I could get 2 years of Xamarin for that, was also thinking that I lost Xamarin when I quit the subscription.
Time to revisit it.
<edit>
Just looked again at Xamarin, if the monthly indie subscription expires so does the license to use Xamarin. It looks like the monthy subscription is a trial until 9-1-2014. If they go back to a yearly subscription I think it is usable after the subscription expires. I might send them a question.

The yearly Indie subscription is still around. The monthly subscriptions may eventually be phased out. This info is in their FAQ, or you can call them. I've had a good experience with Xamarin, both codewise and in dealing with their support devs and tech evangelists.

So, why not use something like Qt?

Haven't looked at QT, I'll check it out.
Thanks

The last good/useful version of Delphi was 7. Since then, Borland/Inprise and now Embarcadero has just made it worser and worserer.

I knew it went down hill but I was hoping it had come back.

And they did.
I jump straightly from BCB 6 to XE3. It's much better now (except for the help system, I'm still using BCB6 help :p ).

..and atleast for me Chrome is better than ever. The text rendering is a good update. No more annoying full bar for Password save/cancel. Only a popup to either save password or not.
I'm having Version 37.0.2062.103 m and I believe this is a great update. But still needs a fix for fast page loading.
But, let's wait.

obviously I do. But since it is a new release, I can wait!
Because, I don't want to change the user-agent I am using. Simple as that, there is no other option for me to accept.
