Using spaces and avoiding tabs is the only way to ensure that a piece of code is rendered consistently in all editors and viewers. Many editors render tabs as 4 spaces, and a lot of editors, terminal programs and utilities render tabs as 8 spaces.
Wait. Doesn't this miss the entire purpose of tabs?
I like to see my code indented by the equivalent of two spaces. The other coders in my team like to see their code indented by the equivalent of four spaces. Do we engage in massive edit wars in cvs? Do we regulate a specific number of spaces so that some portion of the team is unhappy? No. I setup my editor to display tabs as the equivalent of two spaces, and the others setup theirs to look like 4 spaces. Everybody is happy.
Regulating a specific number of spaces is sub-optimal. It totally removes a coders flexibility to see the code how they prefer.
Did you try switching your mouse to the LHS of your keyboard?
I did this about six months ago, and havent looked back since. Typical setups put too many common functions on the RHS. Having the arrow keys, pgUp, pgDown, numeric keypad, del and mouse all in a small area is crazy. Switching the mouse to the LHS (and reversing the buttons) is the way to go. It allows you to use the mouse and the keyboard at the same time.
There are similar "off by default" changes in Yukon (aka SQL server 2005).
I attended a talk by Microsoft during the week and the speaker claimed that a "click-OK-and-nothing-else" install of SQL server 2005 would not actually install anything! You have to manually select all the features to be installed.
That might be taking it a bit far, but at least they are trying to reduce the security footprint of their products.
The image acquisition will be done throughout 2005 and use the Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) instrument of the Envisat environmental satellite.
Surely the High Resolution Imaging Spectrometer would be more appropriate?
Mozilla Firefox is an open-source web browser that has been taking the internet by storm, it is the fastest browser out there, and is devoid of software holes that previously allowed spyware onto your system in the first place while you surfed with Internet Explorer
These technical parameters will allow either side to effectively jam the other's signal in a small area, such as a battlefield, without shutting down the entire system.
So jamming should not take any longer than it does currently.....
He recently "discovered" a new type of lego brick which allowed a vast improvement in the mechanism. The update is dated 12 March 2003, the original dating from 20 January 2000.
I guess it is the highest bridge from the lowest point of support to the highest point of the structure, not from bridge deck to ground as you are probably thinking.
The Royal Gorge is "just" a regular bridge which happens to be built across a very big hole in the ground, but this new bridge actually has supporting columns going all the way to the ground in the middle of the span.
And I haven't even mentioned how futile it is to think that you can eliminate terrorism through force - bombing people to hell and back doesn't win you friends, only more enemies.
Q: How do I get the Ximian Desktop 2 source code? A: Ximian Desktop 2 source code will be available June 9th, 2003. This includes all source code for Ximian Desktop 2 shipped under the General Public License (GPL). Source code is not provided for third party components shipping with XD2 Professional Edition (such as Macromedia Flash).
Check out slides 9 and 10 in that presentation. The UI seems to be one of the areas where Ximian tried to make big improvements to OO. I agree with you though, OO badly needed to be deuglified.
You could alse specify your style sheet link in a way that ns4 doesn't understand (I think there are a couple, but you lose the ability to provide a different style sheet for print media).
I don't think you need to give up on media=print stylesheets just because you are trying to cater for NN4. NN4 wont do much with your print stylesheets but Moz and IE should use them fine.
What I would do is to include the stylesheets in the usual way (with a <link> element) and then if you want to cater for NN4 have the first rule in that stylesheet as an @import rule that imports all the advanced css rules (that are thus hidden from NN4).
I tend to avoid hacks (including the above one) at all costs because they increase the maintanence overhead, but if you are that way inclined, you should read the css-d Wiki. It has some good tips.
Pine: * Heavily menu-based, easier to learn * Better colorization when reading letters (colorizes each level of replied-to text a different color) * Most keys easier to remember * Has a monthly sent-mail folder. You can do this in mutt, but it takes a bit of work and editing your config file.
Mutt: * * mutt can colourise each level of replies, it even has a configurable quote-regexp so you can understand weird quote chars. I use good old black on white tho' * mutt keys can be rebound. if you google you may even find a "pine-like" muttrc key-binding scheme. * Whack this in your.muttrc: set record="=sent/`date +%Y-%m`"

Most people in europe just call that "time". It's not rocket science!

Just takes about a week to get used to it...
Are you reading "Database in Depth" at the moment?
Because XHTML is a pointless and overhyped waste of time and energy at this point.

Zoom out a couple of levels and you will see several clusters of black dots. What are they?
They should indeed.
The light is the only unusual thing you noticed about the first entry?
I'd say the big dinosaur is a further tip-off that is is not real!

it won't be at the mercy of US's whim to scramble the signal in certain locations or disable entirely if they wanted to.
Yes it will.

I guess it is the highest bridge from the lowest point of support to the highest point of the structure, not from bridge deck to ground as you are probably thinking.
The Royal Gorge is "just" a regular bridge which happens to be built across a very big hole in the ground, but this new bridge actually has supporting columns going all the way to the ground in the middle of the span.
The heights of the seven pillars and the distances between them are listed on the bridge's website.
France has its own carrier fleet and Germany, for historic reasons, doesn't.
FYI there is a list of european naval power here.

Quite true.

I just fired up Netscape 2.01 and the article is perfectly viewable (if you like black text on a grey background)!
Even more surprisingly, I never got the upgrade message (with the article or with devedge homepage).
