That error message isn't very user friendly...
This is better:

I'd be ok with tabs at the beginning of lines, but spaces should be used within a line of text. Now, if there were an editor that did it that way...
But, really, tabs are obscene because different viewers display them differently (tab sizes are different) and cause code to look obscene.

My VT220 doesn't have white space. I can choose between black and amber, but not white.

What to expect from Google's new MVNO service: flat rate pricing, roll over data usage, Google Voice number porting, and an app that does it all. Because they couldn't get enough adverts pointed at you any other way
Or would you have preferred a 'Semper Fi' joke here?

As far as I'm concerned Fi has always meant, ummm... Eff-it. Can I say Eff-it here?

Meh. Can't say I'm surprised by the choice of carriers; but MVNOs with only access to Sprint/TMobile faceplant as soon as you take a highway outside of a major metro area. Sprint has patchy 3g (and since they're CDMA it's only 3MB EVDO rev A), TMobile has even patchier 2g. If you're a normal customer of either carrier you at least get limited roaming access to VZ 3g/ATT 2g (respectively) networks. Without that, you're just elephanted.

In the United States alone, it is estimated that Apple Watch has been pre-ordered over 950,000 times, and with a number of other nations able to preorder, it seems certain that worldwide, Apple is comfortably over the million mark. Reality Distortion Field: still going strong

I really like Apple stuff, but I can't understand the watch.. It's disappointing that it needs charging every day, the UI looks fiddly and I don't think that it looks that great either.
My choice would be the Garmin Fenix 3 if I was in the watch market right now

Right now I don't think Google, Apple, or Microsoft know what a smart watch would be good for. But none of them are willing to let one of the others (never mind a total upstart) take over the market and all are rushing out me too products. The only reasonable use case I see is for fitness trackers; but that's a much smaller market than fondle slabs have grown to be.

The same way I wished all the batteries in my gadgets last more than a couple of hours.
IMO, The Garmin and the Apple Watch (or any other intelligent watches) are two different things.
I haven't seen tests or reviews of Apple Watch as a sport watch yet ( I'vent been looking either)
I'd rather be phishing!

In a watch, it's pretty essential really..

True - the first difference is that the Garmin watch has an obvious use

And it will get better in time (not only for apple watches, but for all watches, that are really a lot more than just a time keeper)

As most single use gadget, when well designed and made, there is not substitute (for example, my kindle).

Here’s a question for you. Can a library outperform a compiler? I still get the giggles when I read "Modern C++"
But it's definitely moved on from my copy of "The Annotated C++ Reference Manual"
