It's funny that the United States disambiguation page links to multiple countries with "United States" in their official names, while the America disambiguation page only links to one...
It depends on the font. If it is monospaced (such as on a typewriter) it should be two spaces. If you are using a proportional font, use one space.
If it's monospaced, two spaces looks ridiculously empty. A space on a proportional font is much smaller, making a double space between sentences look appropriate.
This is not news. There is no debate about whether global warming is real. All available sources show a warming trend when averaged over the past thirty years.
I don't know why these people bother, except perhaps as a red herring to distract people from the real controversy, which is about causation.
The question is, what is so significant about the past thirty years? Why don't we look at the past 300, or 3,000, or 3,000,000 years instead?
Obviously the short-term trending is most informed by the more-recent analysis, but when viewed long-term, it's not necessarily significant.
Hey, say what you will about Lua, for example "who in their right mind uses 1-based array indexing", but at least it has coroutines, which is more than lots of languages can say for themselves.
Fortran? Pascal? Just because C-style 0-based indexing is most common doesn't mean it's the only thing that makes sense.
Theres never been a shrimp ever shook this ocean
But I know a shrimp who tried
The newspapers called it a jail break plan
But I know it was suicide
I know it was suicide
Thus, a Defendant's distribution of even one unlawful copy of a motion picture can result in the nearly instantaneous worldwide distribution of that single copy to a limitless number of people.
Not having read the complaint, I don't know what the context of that quote is, but it seems reasonable. Once the cat's out of the bag, someone can grab it, put it on BT, and anyone can get it.
I grow weary hearing "democrat party" instead of the proper phrase "democratic party". Of course, it's members of the republic party who are at fault.
It's just keeping the same word case. I.e., "Republicans" are members of the "Republican party," so "Democrats" would be members of the "Democrat party." Either that, or members of the "Democratic party" would be "Democratics."
We haven't started another two wars, we actually have a health care bill, we actually have a stimulus package, we actually passed the Ledbetter Fair Pay act, and on and on. That makes him far better than Bush right there. And as a bonus, Obama didn't bring that obscenity Palin one heart attack away from The Button.
You may have missed it, but there's actually been a lot of controversy about both of these bolded items...
If C++ is the worst thing you've ever used then I strongly suggest trying to do something nontrivial in AppleScript; C++ will seem pretty awesome after that.:)
Why would you do this? AppleScript is a scripting language, primarily for application automation (which, incidentally, you'd probably have trouble doing in pure C++), not for writing multi-threaded CFD codes.
This is an example of why we need media portability laws, just like laws were passed to allow you to port your cell number from one carrier to the other. Laws need me be made allowing media, software, music, books to be portable between platforms.
You know what? Screw you, buddy. I'm a software developer. Do you think making everything cross platform is easy? I don't have the resources or the desire to develop for multiple platforms... so you think I shouldn't be allowed to publish my software?
Replace the Anglo-Saxon word "shit" with the Frankish word "poo" and then everything will be a-okay. (Yes our US FCC really is that stupid and inconsistent.)
It's not really the FCC's fault. Our culture defines one of those words as crude and offensive, and the other as not so.

I mean the actual quality of the binding, etc..
I'd buy them more often if "premium" hardcovers didn't look like they wouldn't even last 10 years.
I'm not sure what you do to your books, but I generally buy soft cover and they last for decades if not abused.
sorry but $69.99 for a book on Python programming is robbery. When I can get the same book on Amazon.com for $29.95.
...which also is like robbery, considering that you can find most information on the internet.
Maybe he doesn't have a computer, you insensitive clod!
Judaism doesn't want you to feel horrible or tell you that the world is bad.
Christianity went sideways with that aspect, Islam can do that, but generally isn't about guilt.
Christianity says that the world is bad, but that you should always be content no matter your circumstances... no telling you to feel horrible.
Who decides which are the "sometimes" you can agree to disagree?
Why is it so important to stress out that the 48 countries include Canada, again?
I wondered that too, then saw that the second link was from cbc.ca

I don't know... drivers are already pretty bad out here in SoCal... I'm perfectly happy not to have any drunk ones around, too.
Monkeys even.
We were on an Apple discussion, not a Ballmer discussion.
If you place a statistician's head in ice and his feet in boiling water, then on the average he is quite comfortable!
I misread statistician as politician, and thought you were on to something there!
I think they have many accidents a year in car racing at speeds far exceeding 50 MPH where the driver walks away.
Well, AT&T may allow it, but you'll eat through your non-unlimited data plan pretty quickly if you use it much.
Here's my favorite quote:

on my week off (yes bitches you heard right, i only have to work 1/2 the year)
A year is only 2 weeks where you live?

A "BSD" license is open.
Especially in the nether region, inviting anyone like Apple to exploit you without giving anything in return.
And yet, for some reason, Apple gives back, anyway...

How, exactly, do you expect google to improve their results if they don't know which links people are clicking on?
Apple, the Kia of computer manufacturers. Best analogy ever.
I'd say Audi is a better analogue. Major components are shared with their VW brethren, but overall quality is nicer.
Disclosure: I own a Mac and and Audi.
