I'm sure a lot of things seem so simple when you're so ignorant of the actual issue.
Why does the PEAR coding standard insist on space-only indentation? 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.
My opinion is that the best way to solve the technical issues is to mandate that the ASCII #9 TAB character never appear in disk files: program your editor to expand TABs to an appropriate number of spaces before writing the lines to disk. That simplifies matters greatly, by separating the technical issues of #2 and #3 from the religious issue of #1
A very clever solution indeed. Apparently some clever bastard sovled this issue six years ago. Return to your homes. Nothing left to see here.
I think this is the wrong kind of solution to the problem. A standard would be easier. Just have someone say "Tabs are now officially SOME_NUMBER spaces long, so fuck you." Get Linus to approve of it or something for good measure.
Speaking of tabs, something that I would absolutely love: I want to be able to indent or unindent the opening statement for a given loop, be it int, sub, function, if, for or else, and have the entire section that it describes, including the braces, indent accordingly. Anyone know of an editor that has this?
This sort of thing is the reason I continue to post stuff about PHP despite my ignorance. Every time, someone comes along with some new information for me. I clean didn't know about that performance hit.
There is a beautiful kind of irony in it though. Because of their haste to sell themselves, they've overstepped their own capacity and blasted themselves offline through sheer volume of traffic.
Perhaps if they'd had a little patience, and spread the big traffic spikes out over a few days, they'd actually be able to benefit from them. As it stands now, I just tried to create an account, got a bunch of database errors, and gave up.

Holy shit! Have these people ever heard of is_resource()?
And what about prepending mysql_connect with a @ to hide the error messages from naughty boys who you don't want knowing the location of your web dir and your mysql socket?
The shameless self-promotion on Slashdot and Digg (and probably elsewhere) kind of grates, but you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette. You have to swallow your pride a little when you're starting out, so please give them a break on this. Think of it like this: we're getting a chance to get in early while the contribution:pageview ratio is skewed, and we have an opportunity to perhaps make a little money.
But then again, it's not exactly the first advert in history to offer me a 'chance to make real money'. Apparently I could be making $2000/hour just by filling out surveys online!
It is, however, the most Web2.0-compliant site I've ever seen. If it is at all possible to compete with or even oust YouTube, 'eefoof' certainly seems to be the site for the job.
Wow, congratulations for you on your ability to pay your way into your proposed elite circle of law-abiding rich Americans. But what of all the people who have enough trouble simply connecting to the internet in the first place? What of the rampant inaccuracy of your lame ad-hominem against apparently the entire Slashdot 'collective'? Are you so bigoted that you really think that the proponents of net neutrality are secretly just protecting their bittorrent download speeds?
What of the fact that a US implementation of this idea would harm foreign connections to/through the country so much that the rest of the world would finally be motivated to build some decent infrastructure around you? I suppose in that case, you would be right there with your wallet out, ready to pay to ameliorate your overseas connections, right?
It's one of the magic tubes inside your car engine. When put your foot on the gas or the brake, you send a transmission across the engine (the transmission is another tube). See, the engine is not the sort of thing you just dump something on. It's not a truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand how those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your 'transmission' in, it gets in line and is going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material, like for example listening to pirated music on your car stereo.
I just the other day got, a brake transmission was sent by me at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday, and I just slowed down yesterday. Why? Because I was listening to music I'd gotten from Kazaa at the time. The problem is, I was braking the transmission because there was a truck stopped in front of me. Because the transmission was slowed by enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material (pirated music), my piston tubes never got the signal in time. And a truck is not something you just dump something on. It's not a truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and its going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.
Long story short, there was a horrible crash, a big explosion, and I was fatally killed. You see, a person isn't something you just dump something on. It's not a truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and its going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material. In the end, though, all the material left my pipes as a result of the explosion. This is what happens if you don't regulate the flow of material through those pipes properly.
I don't think this sort of thing is intended for your first viewing. It seems more like an effective way to communicate ideas about films, rather than a trick intended to increase the entertainment value of the film itself.
It's a witch hunt, in this post-Columbine world! Where's Jon Katz when you need him in this post-Columbine world?
But seriously, saying that the icon was "on his home computer" is like saying that prank calls are okay because "what I say in the privacy of my own home is my business".
I'd be paypalling you thousands and thousands of dollars now, as payback for giving me such a good laugh, but fortunately before I did I checked, and it turns out you're justanothertroll. Why do you waste such a talent for humor on trolling? Tool.
You think it's just Digg editors that edit user comments? I've got news for you: Rob Malda of Salsashdot woud nevr edit no comments no way im jus not that sorta guy
The editors are the same totally perfect gods among men that they've always been. The problem is with the submitters. Since our wise masters have such little time to spend on such mortal concerns as 'checking the factual accuracy of submissions', some of the more malicious elements of the internet are trying to abuse their trust, and poison our minds with these lies.
More FUD. Unauthorized means breaches the copyright of the big media. You know it and I know it. Are you really suggesting that an overbroad law can be abused? Please! People who work in democratic governments are morally infallible, by mere definition! I, for one, welcome my new democratically elected overlords! May they never send me to jail!

Mac nerds? Are they the same sort of people as Windows hackers and Linux gamers?

Tabs versus Spaces: An Eternal Holy War.

A very clever solution indeed. Apparently some clever bastard sovled this issue six years ago. Return to your homes. Nothing left to see here.
Indeed, screw this. I'll just stick with the PEAR standard of four spaces per indent, no tabs.
I move that we temporarily adjourn proceedings and reconvene on Thursday of next week, for the dupe.

I've tried to knock together a bit of a scale map to help visualise some of the proportions.

"eellooff"?? What the hell? You should at least make some effort to get their name right! It's eefoof.
Anything else just sounds completely retarded!!

No wait, it pretended to be a rebuttal to a defense of Linux.

Not quite. Buyers just won't be able to see the cost.
