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!

And the only other word(s) I could get from it were "Castle Airport" and I didn't think that worked.

...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.

Hopefully it doesn't make you want to jump off of it.

Yeah, and last year we had a convention - people flew in from all around the globe.

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?

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)
{
if (true)
{
}
}
When tab is set to 4 spaces:
if (true)
{
if (true)
{
}
}

Yeah, but same as double spacing: it makes it look like you wrote more code!
if (true)
{
if (true)
{
}
}

So, if you get paid by lines, do you also get paid for empty lines?

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

We get paid for article length?

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

The 8 space idea was around from the early days of Unix, and the only the terminals were basic teletypes (electric typewriters). I Have never understood why anyone thought that was a good idea on a device that generally could only print 80 characters across the page.
