He forgot to use the code tag. Except his example using "..." to represent a section of whitespace just shows he's not only new around here, but to coding as well. Never tab after non-white space characters. In his example he stuck the "//" at the beginning of the line and was indenting after it.
Do you draw naked ladies in your code or something and insist on using the tab key for white space? Explain how if I like my tabs to be 2 spaces and I am sharing code with someone who likes 5 spaces, that we can get along unless we both use tabs and have our editor of choice configured to use our preferred number of spaces?
Why would knowing the number of spaces ever be important when you are writing indentations in code? I mean, do you make comments with arrows that move horizontally and then point up or down to the beginning of the code they are referring to or something?
I think its an old person new person thing. People who are used to programming with 80 chars being their monitor's limit are also used to the default tab size being like 5 spaces or so and they probably never figured out how to change that size and save it. New people who grew up with a monitor that manages more than 800 pixels horizontally and with an operating system that you can alt-tab with *should* prefer tabs, but it appears some people still hang on to old ideas, probably because some 40 year old or 50 year old told them spaces was better, or more likely their preferred editing software by default inserts 3 or 4 spaces when they hit tab and they dont want to admit they never learned how to change that in the options.
The rule in programming classes should ALWAYS be:
Tab up to the first non-white space character then use spaces for things that follow.
I've been addicted to World at War on my xbox 360, I've had it since last xmas and just now got around to playing it online without having someone invite me to play it. I rented MW2 and beat it and didn't see much point in buying it since WoW is basically the same thing except it has the element of having tanks and anti-tank battles, more bolt action rifles, and doesn't that have stupid heartbeat sensor (the aim assist blows though... finally turned it off since it was more detrimental than good). Haven't seen a cheater either ever since they fixed the falling through the floor issue (or maybe nobody left playing knows about it?). The single player is actually kind of long too, at least in comparison to MW2. I still haven't beaten it after about 7 or 8 hours, and no stupid spots where literally I'm surrounded on 8 sides by people.
And all the cool real guns in MW2 are in counterstrike. That game is still fun, amazingly.
It all comes down to privacy and free time. Their behavior will change once they no longer have to be concerned about someone overhearing their conversation, and they actually want to get a conversation done in a timely fashion. People in high school don't want their plans/problems heard throughout the house. Personally, I used to rarely use e-mail, but that changed after I got an iphone because I don't waste money on unlimited SMSs. E-mail is 100% superior to SMSs minus the fact SMSs have slightly better radio range than data does...
And I question this "7 things" number. Instant messaging, while surfing the internet, while texting, while watching TV, while playing WOW, while playing Xbox (on a second TV), while chowing down a hoagie? Or are they counting "7 windows open on the task bar" as 7 things? Cuz if thats the case I do 40 things at once at work...
A lot of people do this stuff where they perceive it is safe (i.e. where a low margin of error is not required). Unfortunately the perceptions of people aren't always accurate until they get into a close call or an accident.
Personally, I've seen one person, a 16 year old girl, try to text and drive at the same time. She allowed her vehicle to drift into both the left and right lanes multiple times while texting/viewing a text message, full aware of her lack of vehicle control (i.e. she made 3 corrections and was then STILL was texting). I could tell she was texting because she held her phone up to her head level, making a clear silhouette of it. She thought it was ok though because it was a 5 lane interstate with low traffic, and the other vehicles were simply moving around her as if she was a 70 year old driver, showing indifference to the behavior. When I pulled up next to her, honked my horn for an extended time (visibly startling her), and by giving her the finger, I gave the girl a reason to not continue the behavior. Instead of "what are the odds I will get in an accident", it is "what are the odds someone will do that to me again". She quit texting after I did that, at least until I pulled away.
If you don't like what someone does, tell them. Don't be a puss. It amazes me at people who will take the effort to write to the newspaper about bad drivers but wont simply take the 5 seconds to "inform" someone of how you disapprove of what they are doing. People will quit texting and driving if they knew people around them would do things like what I did. Personally, I wish I had a PA system and aimable paintball gun attached to my vehicle.
Oh, and all my near accidents and traffic errors due to conversation have occurred due to passengers, so don't talk about talking on a cell phone distracting people. Hands free devices certainty dont help either, thank you California, Washington, et al.
I seem to recall reading an article about them no longer charging if you accidentally do a data service then immediately close out of it. I think it was on MSNBC.com...
The game was supposed to draw parallels to Afghanistan without being that obvious (imagine your country being invaded all because of the acts of one person/small group of people). Its clearly criticism against he US government.
Oh well, the Russians aren't missing much. The plot was quite frankly kind of stupid, like it was written by Michael Bay. The snowmobiles/speedboats move at 150 mph too and don't feel even remotely realistic.
I'd swap pot for alcohol any day of the week as person with booze in my freezer and as a person who's never done pot. Until then, I advocate a liquor license and the ability petition away an individual's license. Quite simply people shouldn't be buying nor supplying alcohol to alcoholics and the honor system we have here flat out doesn't work when an alcoholic by definition has something screwed up in their brain. Booze should also be introduced gradually at younger ages that predate driving (enforced by the license).
Also pot will make you sterile (low sperm count) with excessive use. Alcoholics on the other hand... Well, we all know that story. If your addicted rampantly to something I'd rather you were sterile and not hurting the human race by reproducing.
And I'm against simply legalizing pot and keeping alcohol because I believe recreational drugs are counter-productive to society. If your bored, do something creative, learn new talents, volunteer, find ways to contribute. Kids who play video games to counter boredom often times grow up to be scientists or programmers. Kids who do drugs grow up to ring up your order, have too many kids who have a shitty childhood, and also supply drugs to people who shouldn't get it. Additionally, many people unfortunately use government laws as their moral compass; legalizing a drug is one way of saying "society says its ok". Ok, it our laws shouldn't be saying that, but we outlaw so many things that are even remotely dangerous that that is what our laws have become. If its legal, then it must be safe and there must be nothing wrong with it.
Wolfgang Werlé and Manfred Lauber killed a German actor in 1990. Now that they are out of prison...
So basically in Germany, if I really really dislike someone, I can say "hmmm for a mere 20 years of my life I can take X amount of years of theirs, after giving them a gruesome and painful death". Seems like stupid logic to people who have a lot to live for, but for people that don't... I'm sure these two are giving each other high fives and declaring themselves the winner.
And this isn't the difference between "murder" and "accidental killing" here, they murdered this guy, and it was a hate crime. The victim was a gay actor. They then mutilated his body.
freecreditreport.com will automatically sign you up for a service which you can cancel at any time. They will never ask how they will bill you because they will steal it out of one of your bank accounts as 3TVC. yeah, if you call to cancel they won't actually cancel. I've talked with like 3 or 4 people who have used the service and all of them said that freecreditreport.com didn't cancel even though they claimed that they did so on the phone. You have to get their payments disputed through your bank once you figure out which bank account they are pick-pocketing you from. I dont understand why they aren't all arrested and thrown in jail. My wife used this service, found out 6 months later that 3TVC was actually freecreditreport.com, tried to get refunds on them, and found that the bank wouldn't refund that far even though they had records of her account much farther back. She only got 3 months back. When she talked with someone from the bank, they said they get this all the time from freecreditreport.com. WHY ISN'T THIS ILLEGAL!?! THIS IS MINOR THEFT ON A LARGE SCALE AND EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT IT!!!!
Memorize an e-mail address and change the @ to a '2'. Instantly you have a 14 - 20 character password.
Use a shorter 8 character password with a number you can rotate on for sites you dont necessarily trust (i.e. where an administrator could potentially google your username or e-mail and try out your password at other web sites)

Then how do you explain that hot girl from high school messaging me after not talking to me for over three years, and me having a dream with her in it the prior night? Or what about the stock market always moving in the direction opposite I want it to after I buy or sell stock, reversing often times a week long trend just moments after I execute my order?
Clearly this proves there is a god, and he likes to torment me.

isn't the simple solution to configure your shell to display tabs as less than 8 spaces?
