That's the first time you've stated clearly why his account was closed.

It's still unclear to me why, if you have multiple banking partners, you don't have even one that would support an adult business. There is a lot of adult video and website business - they must have banks.

Furthermore, it's really the lack of transparency that rubs people the wrong way. When your customers are told that their accounts are frozen or closed all of a sudden and with almost no explanation, they are left flailing to try to understand what the heck is going on. It's like being kicked out of a restaurant half way through dinner and when you ask why, they just say "sorry, we can't continue to serve you..." I consider that method of dealing with your honest customers disrespectful.

Yes, I much prefer C++.

There is a recurring problem in which languages outgrow their original syntax when applied to new programming paradigms.

For example, accessing an array in C uses simple syntax: arr[5] = 10;

But with NSArrays, etc., we have to add lots of explicit method calls with lots of named arguments, destroying the clear and simple syntax meant to express use of an array in C.

The nice thing about C++ is that you can fix that by overloading operators so that a vector can use the same simple syntax most of the time. You can do this for any objects for which it makes sense... And it vastly improves the ease of coding and reading code.

In objective c, you simply can't improve it. Tons of operations with containers and objects are unnecessarily syntactically unwieldy. Higher level languages like Ruby do this as well, but C++ is fast and explicit. If you want to know what the operator is doing, you can step into it. You can read the code...

Because it's easier to charge for apps. And actually get paid.

Also, these are phones -- performance is still important.

Also, can't do infinity blade in HTML 5.

Also, the UI and experience are better in apps.
