I agree, I write my code in comments and only then write the actual functionality beneath each comment. Every function should have a description.
Also I tend to use the module name to precede any externally visible function, which makes tracking program flow easy. I preceed every pointer name with a P as well. Just my 2p.
I totally agree, when I was young and poor and a student (three years ago) all the software on my pc was hot as hell. Now, I actually buy the stuff I want...
Most students are stoney broke and warezing the course language is a definate advantage to those that had to go to campus to use it. And no I didn't want to cough up for Modula-2. Yuk.
With regards the comment that its like buying books I flogged my books after uni (the ones that I wasn't going to use) which is tricky with dated software. Also a lot of the educational purchases require you to either pay up more if you want to use it after uni or dump it.
Live and let live. I warezed when young and now do not. I accept that I may be paying for those that are warezing now. What goes around comes around eh?!
