Comment In a world, where tabs were the right size... (Score 2) 391

I think there'd be less of a debate if tabs were 4 chars in width, out of the box. Not sure they'd even bother with a tabstop setting had that been the case. Granted, you're always gonna have your freaks, like this one guy I worked for who insisted on 3 spaces for indentation, but they would have gotten nowhere had the default tabstop been reasonable from the start.

That being said, spaces for work code, tabs for personal code.

Comment Bad Power Button Placement (Score 1) 203

The only reason I didn't stick with Nexus after my 4, was the idiotic decision to place the power button, right under your index finger, where you're holding the phone. I'd say a good 80% of the times I turned that phone on or off were unintentional.

There aren't many phones that still place it on top, but that was pretty my only requirement for my next phone. Getting tired of all the different models pretty much just being clones of the same crappy design. A little variety would be nice.

Comment Re:Everyone here hates both candidates (Score 1) 482

Yeah, but it's not like he would have gotten elected. He was actually a pretty good speaker during the debates, and I think he would have done a lot more to get through to people. In an environment where Sanders and Trump have had so much appeal, having a little color ain't such a bad thing.

We should do what Australia does and voting should be compulsory. If people were forced to go out and cast their ballots, perhaps they would put some thought into who and what the issues are.

If those people aren't interest enough to vote now, what makes you think they will "put some thought" into the issues when you force them to vote at gunpoint?

If anything, I'd rather less dumb people voting. We have far too many of them as is. If you don't know who controls the house, senate and executive branch, you shouldn't be allowed within a quarter mile of a voting booth.
