For file IO, use ifstream and ofstream data types. // I think it's fstream, can't 'member for sure #include < fstream > int main() { ifstream input_file; ofstream output_file; int stuff; // All of my references are at work and I'm kinda fuzzy headed // right now...

Put the whole shebang in a while loop. Pseudo code (I've been programming in Perl a lot, so double check syntax before you use this code): while (valid_input == false) { cout << "Enter your class: "; cin >> classname; switch (classname) { case 'A': the_class =...

Good luck. It's relatively easy to prevent your personal info from being on the web from this point forward, but it's really hard to remove any info that is already out there.

To raise a mild argument: I said that the last time I checked, the accuracy was so bad (75% reliability) that it wasn't feasible. Obviously that's not the case now (90-97% reliability). So I sit corrected. :)

I think that Ed's position would be the same if you said "Well you're an idiot!". Idiot is not an offensive word per se. It's the alleged attack. That's what he's talking about, and I agree with him. Heck, it's not even always clear to us (the not-so-new members) when you're joking or not...

solrac, does the word *plonk* mean anything to you?

The default setting for Windows is to hide the extensions for "known" extensions. So exe would normally be hidden and the filename would look like whatever.jpg -- of course, jpg should also be known, so it would be hidden also. When I'm working in Windows, I reset it so that it shows all...

RPN == Rotating Plug Nozzle? Or maybe Radio Philippines Network or Reset Petri Nets or Registered Psychiatric Nurse or just perhaps maybe Reverse Polish Notation? :p

I'm not saying that these problems are insurmountable. Just that the last time I checked (which admittedly was a while ago) voice recognition software was running around 75% accuracy. The additional time required to proof your text would make voice dictation longer than a fast typist could...

Uhm, silly question, but since when does England have an "er" in it? ;)

There are significant problems to speech recognition. Say the following out loud: Youth in Asia Euthanasia They sound identical. How can you tell which one to use? Context works great for humans, but it's a sticky wicket for computers. This is only one example. (One? Won? How can...

Probably. Oh, you wanted a more explicit answer? I know that in Unix you can send a process to the background, in which case it is either suspended or running, depending on how you sent it to the background. When you log out it's still running (or suspended). I'll do some...

No, this thread is normal for MacOSX.com. Where have you been? :D

Godzilla!! :D No, that's just a joke, not based on any information outside of my own head...

I like the iOwe program, Ed. Nice idea. How about an iLikeToSurfTheNetWithoutMicrosoft web browser? ;) Oh, is this supposed to be a "reality" thread? Sorry, got off track there...

"We're sorry, that page blew up" Or, er, more along the lines of a 404. Another link, perhaps?

Are there parachutes available? Oh, wait, lemme guess. For a $3246.45 fee (and please have the exact change), right?
