The World Wide Media Exchange — a site collecting tens of thousands of amateur photos, arranged by location — sounds totally human. And it's a Microsoft site! For example, take a look at the press page and compare it to just about every other press page you've ever seen. Posted

Unfortunately, its goodies are acessible only (so far as I can tell) to those who have bent the knee to Microsoft — maybe not quite the beneficent gesture it could be.

Our next line looks familiar, except it starts with an asterisk. Again, we're using the star operator, and noting that this variable we're working with is a pointer. If we didn't, the computer would try to put the results of the right hand side of this statement (which evaluates to 6) into the pointer, overriding the value we need in the pointer, which is an address. This way, the computer knows to put the data not in the pointer, but into the place the pointer points to, which is in the Heap. So after this line, our int is living happily in the Heap, storing a value of 6, and our pointer tells us where that data is living.
