It happens in basketball as well. People flopping, which annoys me just as much. I like it when the referees let them play more, but what I don't like is them inconsistently calling the impact.
I'd like to see technical fouls there for play acting.
Maybe we ought to get penalty kicks for play acting in soccer. Might make the game more exciting.

Trey Staker (6/29/2010)What is new are the dang vuvuzelas. I watched most of the world cup with the volume off. Just watching one game with the volume on will haunt my nightmares for years to come.
...it just so happens that the sound produced by the vuvuzela is generated in a relatively narrow frequency range - mostly at 233 Hz, 466 Hz, 932 Hz, and 1864 Hz.[/url] Block those frequencies electronically and you remove that buzzing while preserving most of the rest of the noise of the games.

Or just let them hit a little harder 🙂
Hit what a little harder? The opponent or the ground? :hehe:

The noise from those things is annoying. I wish they'd block them from the broadcast. I watched a touch of US/Ghana and Eng/Ger and it was very, very annoying. I'd ban them from the stadium. Couldn't imagine being there and listening to that the whole time.

The England team went to visit an orphanage in South Africa this morning, "its so good to put a smile on the faces of people with no hope, constantly struggling, and facing the impossible" said Jamal, aged 6.
Note: I am an England fan, so this quote is said in as loving and bitterly disappointed a manner as a parent who supports their underachieving children.

Chris Morris-439714 (6/28/2010)The question reads "What will be the output of the following?" and none of the answers is correct.
If the question was "Which of these options best represents the output" then there would be a correct answer.
It's not the loss of a point which folks find frustrating - it's knowing that they've been prevented from providing a correct answer by a clunky and unnecessary error.
I agree with you up to a point - the question and answers are clumsy. However 7 pages worth of people whining is laboring the point (no pun intended:-)).
Heh... no whining about 7 pages of whining. 😛

I initially posted a cross-post warning on both threads and I realized they were not the same problem and different OPs...

Lucky...still shell-shocked from the discussion on mine. For my next topic, I will keep away from talking about cursors and stay with something everyone can agree on, why autoshrink is a good thing. 😀
Happy Canada Day for all Canadians north of the 49th and in the diaspora!

Maybe a really big article on the best way to nest views inside of views inside of views all while joining views. I think that would really help the community... Oh, and, I have this nifty bridge in Brooklyn that I'd like to sell you, cheap.

Is it not Canada Day for Canadians in Canada south of the 49th?
