Answer 1

Look in Project's "Build" properties, you'll see configurations tab for the compiler. Then select all the configurations, go in the list of features and select "C++0x".

Easy: Put -std=c++0x -U__STRICT_ANSI__ or -std=gnu++0x -U__STRICT_ANSI__ (if you want GNU extensions too) into either your project's build options (compiler, other options), or set them in the global compiler options (settings menu).

You need to undef __STRICT_ANSI__ or you get trouble with some legacy headers (I believe it's mostly stdio) that are inevitably sometimes included from some 3rd party code.
