Dude which K-Cups do you use? I've tried like 15 different ones and I find that most of them taste awful LOL. I still use them though, it's the most convenient haha :P. Also, we need a Tim Hortons option on this poll!

Re: C++ pointer question

Adikid answered your question but if you did need to do something like this, you could dynamically allocate inside the function and then take care of deleting it later. Also, it might be a good idea to pass your vector in by reference to avoid extra copying. I think the compiler might optimize the r...
