Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Of course, if Super Brad Guzan had played then the US would have won 4-0 🙂

    Sure, keep on believing 😀

    At least he knows how to take backups (with tail log) and how to do a point-in-time restore.

    He may have saved a mission critical database from data loss.

    If Beneteke was playing, my loyalties may have been divided 😀

    Anyone think they can help this person? I think they really need it, and what's more, deserve it. 6.5? Please, no.

    6.5 to 2000 with DTS. Ouch.

    Stone knives and bear skins.

    Hand-cranked mechanical calculating engines carved from wood.

    For some reason, this reminds me of a hilarious post that appeared on the internet somewhere, sometime in the murky past. The poster was (I think) responding to complaints about internet connection speed by describing his first internet connection. All I remember for sure was that the first link from the poster's house to the network consisted of tin cans connected by string - after converting his transmissions into binary, he shouted them into the tin can and the neighbor on the other end served as an interface to some only slightly less primitive technology. I would love to find this again (because it makes me laugh so hard that Diet Coke comes out of my nose), but my Google-fu has failed me - anybody ever heard of it or have a line on where to find it?

    I love it when someone asks for the differences between two completely disparate things....

    I kind of wondered if that was an interview question. It seems to me like a good one. Would certainly filter out the made up answers instantly. 🙂

    Funny! :w00t:

    Anyway the Belgium Red Devils got past the USA soccer team after a thrilling match.

    It was an awesome game.

    The US team (actually just the goalkeeper ;-)) put up quite a fight.

    Don't forget Green! Not his fault he was only in for 13 minutes. That was the most exciting goal I've ever seen.

    I think the coach was too defensive-minded.

    The actual shot wasn't all that great, it squibbed off his toe but managed to go in all the same. And that kid will remember that for the rest of his life. At 19 he gets on the pitch and his first touch is a sensational goal.

    One minute into his first World Cup appearance (just his third cap) and he scores a goal. The rest of his career will be all downhill from there. :Whistling:

    To someone who doesn't watch a lot of soccer, it was amazing. He leaps in the air, manages to kick the ball as it is going past him into the corner of the goal. Maybe this happens all the time, but of the goals I've seen in this World Cup it is the only one I've seen like it.

    It was an amazing shot and it is incredibly hard to hit ball as he did in mid-air. I was just saying that the actual connection was a bit odd ball. If he had hit that with the top of his foot he might have put it clean through the net.

    For anyone who missed it...

    The only defining characteristic of great strikers is that they score goals any way they can every chance they get. There's no such thing as a less-than-great shot when the ball ends up in the back of the net!

    Yes there is, accidents can create unexpected goals with mediocre shots. This is not the case though.

    I'm thinking I might define an "own-goal" as less than great. :-D;-)

    While I'm sure that anyone would prefer a solid strike with perfect form, all other things being equal, I think we would be hard-pressed to find anyone who would prefer a solid strike with perfect form that is blocked or saved or just misses by a little bit to an ungainly toe poke or knee bump that puts the ball fully across the goal line between the goal posts and beneath the crossbar!
