Is while (1); a good way to keep a program up?
At the end of my code, I often put this to keep the program from closing:
I use Microsoft VS and I prefer to close the program by clicking the red x in the corner rather than pressing enter (I associate enter with entering a value, rather than closing a program).
Are there any disadvantages or advantages to this over cin.get and cin.ignore?

Don't listen to me. =P

A disadvantage would be that it causes your processor to waste unnecessary heat/energy instead of just sleeping or waiting for input.

And the performance of other programs running on the machine could be negatively impacted.
You don't want to degrade your n cores to n-1 cores, do you? It really does matter; just don't do it.
