I'm with Albatros on the colour of the cover--blue.
I'm going to start using space-emulated tabs instead of just tabs since I sometimes like to mix tabs and spaces... I know it's stupid :P
actually, I mix tabs and spaces, but in a systematic way
1. tabs at the beginning of the line for overall indentation
2. spaces everywhere else to prettify code (I like to line things up)

I used to do that too, but I won't anymore. If someone tried to look at my code and had their tab size set to something other than 8, it would be a mess... So I'll use 8 space indents from now on. I have to say, though, pressing backspace once to go back one indent is easier than deleting 8 spaces...

What editor do you use? Some editors have a setting to detect leading spaces as tabs and delete the right amount of spaces. Most other editors let you decrease indentation by pressing Shift+Tab, this is more common.
Also, an 8 tab width is kindof excessive...try 4, personally, I like 2.

| Linus, go f*ck yourself |
haha, the exact same thought that crossed my mind before I even finished reading that quote.
Althought I dissagree with the second part of that statement...but let's save that for a *different* flame war ;)
EDIT: *after reading your links*
Link 1: I dissagree with sections 1 and 2, but everything on after that. Pick 1 brace style, and stick with it...period, no exceptions. Also, indents are whatever the hell size I damn well want and for verbose languages like C++ I find it more important to be able to fit most of my statements on one 80 character terminal line and *not* staring at useless white space.
Linke 2: Linus, you're an asshole, in everything you ever say or write makes you look like a pompous git (excuse the terrible pun). Just because you invented Linux doesn't give you the right to be so damn condensending all the time; your word is not gospel despite what many people seem to believe. To reiterate, go f*ck yourself.

The last two posts have my seal of approval, and let me just add that RMS can go **** himself (or some flowers or something, if he so chooses).
| Linus, go f*ck yourself |
Agreed.
| indents are whatever the hell size I damn well want |
This.

Well, tition, darkestfright, helios, *edit - and firedraco...it's been nice knowing you. The open source cult is out to get you now.
Torvald is probably already under your bed and Stallman is in your closet waiting for you to fall asleep. :P
