Here are ten deadly sins to avoid in your web typography: 1. Using hyphens instead of an em dash If you need to interrupt yourself, do it with an em dash (alt+0151) instead of a pair of minus signs.

Number 4, I picked up in Mr. Fedak's grade 5 class (he stress the necessity).

That's not good news for NVIDIA, which has been saying that only "previous-generation" chips were problematic -- unless the chipmaker is planning on updating the hugely popular ...
