Codying style stupid talks.

Yet another one...

Blah-blah-blah, I like spaces, blah-blah-blah, I do not like spaces...

Here are just two examples (one from the thread), decide yourself, which is easier to read: 

Becauseitmoreeasilyallowsyoureyestoseethedifferentoperators.
B e c a u s e i t m o r e e a s i l y a l l o w s y o u r e y e s t o s e e t h e d i f f e r e n t o p e r a t o r s .
The same applies to more common:
for (i=0; i<10; ++i) vs 
for (i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
The latter just wastes lots of space and forces eyes to move out of orbits.
That is my own opinion, obviously the more people involved, more opinions strike.

So, never kick someone when he is on the edge forcing him to change simple stuff in codying style, he can return and kick you back, when you will be on own edge...

Ugh, and forgot likely the favourite one:
for (i=0; i<10; ++i) vs 
for (i=0; i<10; i++)
Update: Oh holy crap: I recall people compared theirs uptimes to show which dick is longer who is more cool, but comparing number of whitespaces-instead-of-tabs-errors per subsystem is a real winner of the modern cruel reality! Hope you have a sense of humor, lets convert number of errors per 1000 lines of code into length (100*kloc/errors):
