[Cialug] Nakamoto: Double Spacer

[Brett Neese]

I was born in '93 and remember having very heated discussions about this in
the late 90's early 2000's with my grade school teachers, who, bless their
poor little souls, didn't know any better. By the time I hit junior high,
the cultural debate was over. I haven't double-spaced in years.

Pretty soon 2013 is going to sound like this: "remember the times we
couldn't use our mobiles on the plane?"
