This open approach looks as if it might be a success with well over 100,000 prospective students signing up to the AI course alone.

Only someone who has never, ever, ever taught a class - much less an online class - would consider the enrollment of 100k students a "success". Personally, I call it an unmitigated catastrophe...

(My awed congrats to any instructor/institution that survives such an onslaught, of course...)

Hear, hear!

The claim of equivalence between a regular inter-word space and an end-of-sentence space would be laughable if it didn't actually serve to trip sincere individuals like the poster up so often. Just pick up any book, magazine, or newspaper, and compare the length of the spaces. You will find the end-of-sentence space is longer in any typeface, and in any professional publication.

What that means for us regular joes: Two spaces, please. It will make your text more readable.

Cheers,

I agree 100%. And note, no matter what RIAA/MPAA may say, no one has ever been sued - successfully or unsuccessfully - for private duplication. All of the lawsuits, on all fronts, have been over distribution and "making available".

That said, geeks take note: Bittorrent is not a private protocol, and it does fall into the "distribution" category. When you torrent copyrighted material, you are broadcasting your act of piracy to the world.
