In no way is this intended to start a flame, I just want the honest to God truth. I was in a discussion with one of my professors. We are learning assembly using the NASM environment and the book is geared towards 32-bit architecture. Oddly enough Windows is the primary OS in use and Linux is optional, so we are stuck in 16-bit. The comment came,"It is odd how there is resistance to switch to Linux because once these student get into the industry that is what they will be using." Now my professor has a clear bias against MS and also commented that NO ONE uses Visual Studio. Bloodshed's DevC++ is a Godsend for him though. He has been in the industry since the start and I respect his opinion. I was just curious what validity his statements hold.

Maybe that was confusing. I didn't mean actual input like a number or character, I meant to wait for the user to acknowledge that what is being displayed on the console has been read and the program can progress or end. In that case is the way I mentioned a good way to do that or are there better? Thanks -Mark

What if I want to wait for user input? Different people take a different amount time to read and understand the same info. Make the time too short and the user gets pissed off b/c they missed something, too long and they sit there pounding to keyboard trying to progress in the program. -Mark

Real quick: Is this a valid way to pause a consle program?

cout<< "Press ENTER to continue..."; //Informs the user what is happening
cin.ignore(); //clears the cinstream of any stray characters
cin.get(); //pauses until user presses ENTER

I have heard that you want to avoid system calls like system("pause");, so is this a viable option? Thanks -Mark

Hey all. Does anyone have any idea where to get some high quality images of cd lables. Kinda like this[^]only nicer Me personaly, I am looking for some Microsoft products: XP pro, Visual Studio.Net. Now before you get any ideas, the source from which I am burning my cd's is completely legit. I am a member of the MSDNAA[^] it is pretty nifty. (for all you who argue about going to school to learn comp. programming chalk one up for school: free software!) They provide you with ISO images so I just want my cd's to look nice. Thanks! -Mark

Finally decided to join everyone and their mother and build a website. It's not much now but just you wait, one day it'll be fantabulous. My webpage :) Well what do you think? Yes I know, "Awesome!":-O The only thing left is to decide what its purpose is. Hey maybe if I get a good idea I'll even get a dedicated server running instead of this rr bs.
