How is it possible to have less posts than topics?

[Raknarg]

Like on the turing section. Shouldnt there be at least one post per topic?

There are much more posts than topics, though the variable-width font might be making it seem like there's an extra digit in topics.

Variable width fonts? Aren't we programmers?

[Tony]

Clearly not visual designers.

[Raknarg]

Right you are, I counted an extra digit.

[mirhagk]

Well visual designers might be more inclined to use a variable width font than programmers might, because fixed width fonts are way more useful, but sometimes don't look as pretty (w's and i's being the same size makes things look weird sometimes, and it messes up kerning)

Just write the stupid number without spaces!

[mirhagk]

There are no ascii spaces, but there is physical space in the font, and it's a question of reducing physical space, and making values not line up, or adding space to make character columns line up.
