I've been a writer (scientific articles, editing proceedings) for 15 years now. Two spaces.
Typefaces in published works are always variable-spaced, and deserve that little extra cushion. Those crazy editors always try to change it back to one.
Pretty much anything that happened yesterday, can wait until I am ready to read it in tomorrow morning's paper (yes paper).
I don't want to be bothered with every little detail of the world that emerges throughout the day. That is the reporter's job – to observe, digest, and report each day's news.
...I work as a contractor for BP, and they pound it into your head over and over that everyone has the authority and obligation to stop a job if they think it is unsafe.
So, if things go wrong, it is YOUR fault, and not BP's. You get to take their blame.
That gets pounded into your head day from day 1 - if you see something that you think is unsafe, you stop it...
And you never get any promotion for the rest of your time there...
HR departments of all major companies push this message. It is not the reality. They say this only for liability reasons -- any screw-up is YOUR fault, peon. If you didn't report it, it is YOUR fault, not the company's.
The best thing about this plan is that it's plainly aimed at traditionalists who don't care for the web, but what it offers them is an awkward way to get the web content they don't actually want on a tiny screen they probably don't even have, probably while bombarding them with advertising and collecting data about their reading and browsing habits. What's not to like?
Did they remove it, or did they simply redact it from the web version of the article?
If newspapers are to retain their place as the writers of the first-draft of history, then they should firmly refuse any revision of an article, once published, even electronically.
Worst thing would have been for the government to take over right at the beginning. That would give BP an 'out,' where they could say, "We could have fixed it but the gub'mint took it over before we could." This way, there is no question about the blame.
Of what value is a history degree to Goldman Sachs or Microsoft or GM?
Actually, Goldman could have used some historians. You know, that whole "market bubble" thing likes to repeat itself every few decades?
Every company should have some historians around, so when someone starts saying, "THIS time it's different..." they can talk some sense into their heads.
I think the real problem is not Facebook, but a system that allows businesses to retroactively and without notification, change the the agreement that the user agreed to when business relationship was first established.
They smeared and squeezed Steven Hatfill for several years. Ashcroft accused him publicly. They shadowed him 24-7. He lost all work and most friends. He is innocent.
The only reason he didn't commit suicide from the harassment was that, "If I would've killed myself, I would've been automatically judged by the press and the FBI to be guilty."

Rivers are more frequently caused by double-justification, which expands all spacing characters.

What does the Chicago style manual say?
TFA links to two blogs posts. There is nothing on Apple's site.
Does nobody read past the headlines?

...by using micro-saccades, the eye can increase the spatial resolution
There are optical microscopes that do this. They take several images with sub-pixel offsets of the CCD, and then lace them together.

So, Google's bid beat Apple's bid to buy a startup with the desired capability.
And now Apple is somehow the bad guy?... For losing that auction and being a little "nuts to you" on its outcome?
IT doesn't much matter that you don't read them again.
Taking good notes forces you to think about what's being said.
Ummm, If they are so notorious for rejecting apps, is there really a point to a recipe for getting rejected?
Mod this up! Brilliant.

If you want to use it, go buy a reliable piece of hardware.
If you want to wipe it for disposal, just hit it with a hammer.
Some things are not worth your time. Even if your time has no value.
Judging from the market cap, there are more Apple Fanboys out there than Microsoft fanboys.
Maybe the fanboys in general should take a cue the market?

... And then they admitted that they were wrong. What's not to forgive?
Orwell would be proud.
The top kill; it's like drinking straws into a drainpipe.
It's not going to work.
BP must be allowed to fail.

History rhymes.

There is no business relationship. FB is free.
The TSA is a giant joke played on the middle class.
If you have nothing to hide, then why not?
/sarcasm (see NYT article)
The FBI already did this to another guy.
They smeared and squeezed Steven Hatfill for several years. Ashcroft accused him publicly. They shadowed him 24-7. He lost all work and most friends. He is innocent.
The only reason he didn't commit suicide from the harassment was that, "If I would've killed myself, I would've been automatically judged by the press and the FBI to be guilty."
Don't take my word for it, read it here.
How much is Microsoft paying per post?
Similar oscillations have been observed in Mercury.

I watch LA drivers do this every day. Kids spend 10+ years driving with a d-pad/joypad before touching a real car.
Watch carefully for drivers changing lanes by bump-bump-bump, and avoid them.
