Nope - how did you arrive at that ?

To "protract" something can mean to "procrastinate", and procrastination is a form of lie, sort of.

ASTROPARTICLE?

A cosmic ray is "just a little bit" and "maybe" would indicate an anagram. Not a word I've ever heard before though.

That's the article I found as well - I got the anagram, and googled to see if the word existed! Laugh | :laugh:

I didn't know Google did anagrams ...

I just checked, and she wasn't her usual helpful self:

...has become my default browser since this morning. I was tried to constant nagging from chrome that something went wrong last time I closed it, every time I opened it. So far, I felt everything is big, text, spaces, context menu. I managed to reduce first two. I still need to find where can I tell it to make context menu smaller.

Something right with the world today
And everybody knows it's wrong
But we can tell 'em no or we could let it go
But I'd would rather be a hanging on

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Tabs

Taking off from the tabs vs spaces post few threads below, I was wondering why they were talking about tab = 8 spaces. Does it not make the code unreadable as it is too spaced out?

When tab is set to 8 spaces:

if (true)
{
        // Indent of 1 tab = 8 spaces
        if (true)
        {
                // some thing here
        }
}

When tab is set to 4 spaces:

if (true)
{
    // Indent of 1 tab = 4 spaces
    if (true)
    {
        // some thing here
    }
}

Yeah, but same as double spacing: it makes it look like you wrote more code!

if (true)

{

        // Indent of 1 tab = 8 spaces

        if (true)

        {

                // some thing here

        }

}

Well, we get enough "articles" submitted with ten lines of code spread across two pages that it must be true! Laugh | :laugh:

Glad I dont get paid per line of code
Years back, I worked with a product that had a limit of 32K lines of code
We used a framework that used up 21K of them
I spent so much time reducing the number of lines used so we could get all the functionality in
Id have ended up paying my employer
