All I have to say is: Roberto Carlos and Robinho are frauds, Cafu and Ronaldo should have retired in 2002, and Parreira should have retired in 1970, when he was part of the crew of the 1970 World Cup team. Congratulations for France, a team that moves in a bizarre flow of being terrible and being good, and depends on inspired moments from its players. France played very well, above their usual game, and Brazil was, without a doubt, one of the worst teams in this world cup. This has been the last Cup for Ronaldo, Cafu, Roberto Carlos and Parreira, so things will be better in 2010.

Now, there are only two possible scenarios here. Either Portugal will face Italy on the finals and WIN this world cup - if things move as they should, OR... good old FIFA will "arrange" things so Germany wins over Frace at the finals. There's NO other scenario.

I've watched part of an episode for Dr. Who for the first time yesterday. It featured the tenth doctor, and on that part of the episode the doctor and Rose were locked with this lady on a room, and telling two other people how to get rid of an alien who was invading their apartment - a man in a rubber suit. They managed to explode the alien by throwing a mix of some oil and eggs on him, as the doctor quickly discovered what was the secret weapon... *sigh*

That was an undeserved victory for Germany, a team I still feel to be technically inferior to all the teams currently at the World Cup except Ukraine. But due to luck and for being home, might get to the final. Let's see how they handle Italy - which is way inferior to Argentina.

Oh well my predictions are all falling apart... Quite surprising.

And I'm quite happy to see those bloody cheaters go back home again

I agree we better wait until the whole admin-end is done, as those things are pretty much interconnected. Whenever you have it online for some initial testings let us know, and we'll do our part

Jay don't consider this question as pressure on the software update, it's gonna be ready when it's ready, don't worry about it, but, just for curiosity, how much has it been done? Like, in percentage? Do you feel there's enough for some initial testings, in which we could assist?

There's just too many characters and too many planets to come up with, and so many characters dying and getting pregnant and getting into other planets, and I got lost, okay? I tried, really! I kept, you know, yellow post-it notes on my computer, with ALL those things you nerdy fans complain, like, 'Jar Jar is not cool' and 'Remember: Anakin is Luke and Leia's father', so I would make it RIGHT the way YOU wanted! Okay?! But look at me, I'm a 62 year old billionaire, I'm not supposed to be creating space characters and space sagas and space whatever that make any actual sense! I just made it up as I went along, are you happy now? Are you happy now that I've admitted my incompetence?! Huh?! Now that I've admitted I just made things up as I drank the mini-bottles of Vodka I had at my hotel room near the studios in London and Australia at 4 AM, crying and calling the Samarithans, while I was trying to shoot a movie when 5 hundred billion nerds keep whining every single MOMENT! And as for the O-OT, I lost it, okay? I left it in a cab back in San Francisco and I forgot to take those with me when I left, and I called the cab company from my hotel room that same night, but some other guy must have taken it because it wasn't there! So the SE's is all I got, okay?! But I can't admitt it, I can't admitt those facts so I lie, I, I, I, I can't speak about my weakness to everyone, not even my psychiatrist knew about this! Until now! There she is in the audience, I can see her! So, please, LET me finish producing Indiana Jones 4 and Red Tails, will you? PLEASE!!! OH GOD I can't take it anymore!!!" * runs away crying *

Yeah, unless, you know, you have a lamp for shooting, or have the camera resting on a table for a while. Or change your underware during filming. Or if you DON'T cast Bjork. That would make it, like, NOT Dogma 95 because some swedish or finish guy said so. The whole thing about Dogma 95 is more like a challenge, let's see if you can make a movie under this stupid rules.

Isn't Blair Witch Project a Dogma 95?

This sounds offensive and stupidly stereiotyped, even more when I my local IP is blocked by this website (accessing it from Brazil), but I have no problems reaching it through a foreign proxy (the javascript did not work though, so I can't see what it does after filling the name and number). You guys KNOW that most football players here are known for nicknames, not their actual names, right? Oh yeah, you don't.

This person I work with had this idea once, see if anything like that exists: it would be this company that you pay something like 1 dollar every month, and they have all you data. You name, address, everything that proves you exist. Then, they would give you this ID number. So whenever you wanted to hire some service, let's say an internet connection, you'd give them this ID number, and they would say "Ok, you're Ric, you live at yaddayaddayadda street", and have everything done - all they would need is credit card or anything of the sort. So later, if you wanted to cancel the service, you don't contact the provider, you call that first company, that gave you that ID number, and state something like "Cancel my net connection at AOL", and you wouldn't have to worry about a thing, the company would do everything for you and handle with, as the example, AOL. Wouldn't it be cool?

Totally forgot about that. Remember how people left the theater when he recieved the honorary academy award? Would they do the same if M Night got his best director on sixth sense? I don't think so.

Yeah but I mean, what director dosen't do what he does? Spielberg does, Hitchcock did, he did self promotion constantly, had his names sustain his films (see the movies after "Birds" and you'll see what I mean), bashed actors and he was a genre director. Orson Welles did that. Tim Burton. And take no talent hacks such as Uwe Boll and McG for instance... Or George Lucas for Christ's sake! I just think you are seriously overreacting about that M Night subject in a way I don't understand...

OK this is great, this is a quote from Kaz Hirai from Sony (the Riiiiiidge Racer guy):

PSM: Sony and Microsoft seem to be taking the exact same path.

Hirai: We seem to. Every time we go down a path, we look behind and they're right there - we just can't shake these guys. I wish that they would come up with some strategies of their own, but they seem to be going down the path of everything we do. If you look at their strategy in other business areas as well, they tend to do that.

WTF?! How about Nintendo? How about the company they stole the rumble from, so they got a legal action keeping them form adding it to the PS3 - so they come up with a lame excuse it will interfere on the motion sensors... Which are nothing but a gyroscope...

Yes, I agree with you, they could have it only on World Cups, but that is how FIFA works. They feel that having a different rule just for the World Cup would make it a different sport. They have all sorts of reasons for not doing the video assist, such as discredit over the referee's judgment, and other stuff like that. The two referee thing is still kinda experimental, but I see it as a possibility.

I've considered adding the video challenge to football the way it's done in american football, so they can review the play, but... the problem is, FIFA must have rules that are playbale in any conditions, and not always the games will be televised and have cameras. Also, it'll take some of the credit of past referee decisions. So, FIFA cannot allow it.

A second referee has been accepted in some cases. Some local tournaments in Brazil were played with two of them on the field.

I hate that every time I get back into my apartment, I find a new coachroach to kill. I nicknamed them Kato, as the Pink Panther character. Every time I get into the apartment I say "Kato? Where are you?", and start to look for the coachroach. When I find it, a battle begins in which the whole apartment is destroyed.

Except that I kill the bug before the phone rings and it picks up saying "Inspector Closeau's residence."
