Unfortunately you seem to be in the minority of people who openly recognize they're not some kind of crossbreed of Michael Schumacher and Petter Solberg. My very own poll amongst people I know (take that double blind) gives me 95% of "Those rules are for bad drivers, it should not apply to me because I'm that good". And for "Those rules" I had the same results with any of seatbelt, driving drunk, driving under the influence of marijuana, texting, speed limits, eating, swerving, tailgating etc. Try to reason with them and make them read any scientific document linking behavior X and accident rate and you'll get a blank stare followed by a complete denial. "Then I must be the 99th percentile of people who are perfect drivers even when texting drunk as 200mph and sleep deprived".

I simply do not pickup my phone when driving, there's nothing important enough that anyone may have to tell me worth risking my life. I can't count how many time I had to explain it to decerebrate individuals. "Whaa? Why?? You can't drive and talk at the same time? You're retarded or what?"

Now if the kid doesn't want to comply, first time you tell him why he should, the second time you remove his toy, the third time he'll spend the night in the closet. For adults that 1/ a fine, 2/ drivers license suspension, 3/ jail time.

The first instruction on the test is to read all the other questions.
It's used to quickly and memorably teach kids that at the beginning of a test you should a) read the instruction carefully b) spend a minute looking at all the questions to see where are your strengths and weaknesses. This allows you to find which questions are the easiest for you to answer and to get them out of the way early on. Then you do all the slightly harder questions and finally give a shot at those you're not sure you'll get right. It's really basic time management so that you don't get bogged down on the third problem for half of the time while there's still 20 questions left. If you're still doing your test sequentially that's your problem.

then

My point exactly! THANK YOU :)

• When I want to dedent I can press del once, not four times.
• I like my code when the indent size is about 4 space wide, my neighbor likes his code cramped at 2 spaces and some other weird people like it at 8 spaces. With tab and the editor settings we can all get what we want. Without generating a whole file modification changeset each time we decide to disagree on code spacing.
• ~15% in code file size reduction. I know, who cares, but still.. It feels cleaner.
• The key is called "Tab" when I press it I want a \t not random number of spaces. I don't care that VT-XYZ did not support it in 1980.

What are the benefits of using spaces in 2010? The only rational I've heard is that back in the time of computer dinosaurs some editors only knew how to render tab with 8 spaces and that was too much for the people who had 80 columns screens so they decided to type 4 spaces instead of using the tab character. So more code would fit on their screen.

I seriously doubt that GE, IBM, AT&T, Xerox, HP, Apple, MIT, Ford, AT&T (again), Halliburton, Bell, Prudential securities, UK government Department for work and Pensions, Dupont de Nemours and Co., Inc, Merck, USPS and some others deserve or need a /8.

Since it is still widely used I believe the terms unfashionable, outmoded, passé, outdated, out and anachronous would not be better than the term used by the parent poster since they all connote a lack of usage of the format.

erm...

Windows 7 does. It was long overdue but now it's "out of the box".

I'm sure the people who can afford a fullHD tv@120Hz and a new player to see shrek 3D will rush to buy it. All 20 of them.

I thought it was mostly used as a way to detach the software form the hardware thus limiting the impact of hardware failure. I don't really see how virtualizing a crappy OS will give you load balancing. Did you mean redundancy?

Really? then wtf is that job offer on intel website for a CPU Architect in bangalore for?

Here's what they do in Bangalore: http://www.intel.com/jobs/india/iidc/index.htm. Seems like some people in India have enough skills to design a CPU.

I can imagine the only ad I'd feel compulsed to click if I had to work in google docs on a chrome netbook.

Well it does matter if we need to cover 3 football field with solar panel for every person who wants to commute in an air car. We're going to run out of space. Anyway, 2010 is around the corner and my flying car running on recycled garbage should theoretically be available shortly.

did you mean C-x,C-s?

I usually get punched when I reach 4 so I don't recommend doing it.

They technically own 0 of it because they most likely got the game via bitorrent in the first place.
