yep, that's why America was ringing in my mind. I was still thinking America stuffed up in a gold-medal winning position, but it just wasn't as bad as the russians or chinese.
in our news coverage they didn't even mention phelps, though that's not surprising since the anchors were having fun saying Van Dam Hoogenband ten times in five seconds each time the news report came up.
I remember on the Dream they showed the American commentry on the 4x100 relay for the Sydney Olympics. It was understandable but hilerious in reflection. They literally said when losing on the last turn "the american team should take it from here". They also kept talking about "the streak".
So no, not all Australians mind winning:) (but we f****** hate losing!)
as an Australian I'll have to point out the two pottharst/Lochowitz (spelling probably wrong) and cook/sanderson teams. Pottharst and Cook being the winners of the Sydney olympics:) And since I'm pretty sure Walsh and May were around 4 years ago, yes they do lose.
Plus everyone was going for them as well, and this has a huge impact! I remember seeing something similar with Camaroon vs Spain grand final at Sydney. Spain were favourites (at least in the eyes of the crowd; I didn't check actual betting), and Spain kind-a liked to jump (or should I say dive?) at the opportunity to milk a penalty. This meant that there were about a hundred thousand people in the crowd cheering violently for Camaroon - it was inevitable that they would win.
In the end in the Iraqi match the psychological match was won before the game started.
Exactly. It's a sporting event, and if we had some way of telling exactly what happened then it wouldn't be fun.
None-the-less, I don't think Greece winning the syncronised diving should be counted as predictable. It's along the same lines as Stephen Bradbery's ice skating 1,2,3,4 crashing out and him coming from fifth place to win gold. In this particular example the teams coming first and second stuffed up their dives big time, with China getting absolutely nothing and America (though on the news broadcast it said Russia so I could be wrong about that) had one of their divers hit the board with his foot on the way down.
It would also have to appeal to adults as they'll have to watch over them after all to make sure they don't put in the wrong disc and get mixed messages . . .

I'd assume that IE wouldn't be counted under those 3 processes, as IE uses the same process as the file manager doesn't it? (IExplore.exe) I.E. it's always on anyway.
Yep, that's why I like the movie - I can't believe people take it seriously, where it's just a satire; a violent one yes, but still satirical.
I really can't believe people don't get the joke. As the parent says, it is subtle in parts, but I find that it packs the subtlety of a jack-hammer in others: murder in morning, trial in the afternoon, execution in the evening. Broadcast on all channels. Would you like to know more?

Of course. Windows has several times the user base as the population of the Roman Empire.
that's assuming you get it new. If you're like me, and already have lots of old parts available then it's very cost-efficient indeed :)

And in current news, a rampant pedaphile was caught today after posting about his disgusting compulsion on a popular news web-site...

Anyway, unpredictability is what makes sport fun.

Yes, and nothing beats the driver-educational game called "Grand Theft Auto".
And then, because the corpse doesn't come with much in the way of neutritional value, the newly not-so-hungry neighbors rush to the toilet.
But if you don't have a fast enough computer you can't give the character in the game food fast enough, and (s)he unfortunately starves to death.
Think of the children when choosing your computer.

So? While important, feeding people is only keeping them alive.
They are also releasing a game to demonstrate this by releasing a new game for youngsters called "Starving Steve".
In it they have to delay giving Steve any food for as long as possible until he dies, showing that they don't really need that extra serving...
