agassi lost and i am sad :( ... but the sadder part is i also root for safin (cause at USA 2000 grand slam he kicked PETE sampras sorry ass) so i cant be mad at safin .....

this aussie open i so wierd, all me fav players went into last four . also me big fan of Roger Federer (guess what ,ROGER also beat PETES ASS in some grand slam final :) ), man he is so cool while playing , he sits on bench in the game-break like he is sitting in some park looking at blondes ... he is cool .

Now i predict Roger will WIN .... some good reasons to back this up , SAFIN had to play best with RODDICK and within two days had ANOTHER BIG game today with AGASSI , he cannot mentally play another BIG game in final against ROGER if ROGER is best on that day , if SAFIN does play good and gets some luck , he deserves to WIN .

So good thing for me to watch Final .. either person wins , I WILL BE HAPPY :)

damn, what a match. f'n safin took out my 3 favorite players, martin, roddick, and now agassi. i can't believe this. his serve and groundstrokes have been unstoppable...i don't know who to pull for now...

and to top it off, i wanted to get some frustration out by hitting some balls after watching the match, and i look out the window, and some ****tard is hosing down the tennis court for no apparant reason. now i gotta wait for it to dry.

Safin is on fire. Beat two of the top players in the game. He was once number one and appears to be heading in that direction again. He deserves to win it all and seems like he will. Congrats to Safin and what looks like a very promising tennis year. ;)

Safin is indeed on fire. The guy has been out for a year with physical injuries, ankles; knee, and now he is back. What a come back. I hope he actually will go on to win. It will give him confidence and we will have anoter competer for that no1 seed. :D

i hate that ###### henin-hardenne. it's a shame that clijsters had some bad calls against her, on key break points. congrats to federrer though, he's got great game. it should be a great year on the mens side. i'm getting sick of these all belgium finals on the womens side though.

so what do you guys think about "shot-spot"? i think the chair umpire should have access to it during every point, and be able to make any overrules necessary. too many bad calls.

I think the thing that upset me most is calling her a ######, when she certainly does not deserve that name. I never said she was great, but to comment on a person using vulgar language like that, that's just absurd. It's fine that you support Clijsters, but but backlashing at the winnter, that's your lack of sportmanship!!!!!! :angry:

If you have kept up with tennis over the last year, while Hein is a good tennis player, she has been the part of a few questionable things, including her stunt at last years French Open. She has a long way to go before the world will consider her 'great'. She needs to clean up her act and be a sportsman. :sleep:

btw what stunt in the french open are you talking about? just wondering :huh:

do these questionable things make her a ######? i don't think anyone should call someone they don't know a ######. it's really offended me. how would you feel if someone called your mother or your sister a ######? (not directed at you tempest)

The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody from watching your Internet connection and learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked. The Tor Browser Bundle lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained.

    • AV2, successor to popular YouTube, Netflix, Amazon codec AV1, has a hard battle ahead

      Less disk space means less bandwidth demands which means lower operating costs for service providers... that's where money talks. ... cuz it's not about improving video quality!... that's just marketing spin.
    • AV2, successor to popular YouTube, Netflix, Amazon codec AV1, has a hard battle ahead

      By Nas · Posted

      And thereby lies the rub. AV1 support is not as wide as paid analysts would have the industry believe. With AV2 around the corner, it's going cause more time backlog in adoption (how many recent purchasers will upgrade yet-again within the next 6-12 months? most would rather stay pat for another 1+ years before even thinking about upgrading their setups).
    • Microsoft OneDrive is getting a simple yet much needed feature

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft OneDrive is getting a simple yet much needed feature by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily expanding OneDrive’s file management capabilities over the years, including for shared content and shortcuts, although it has had its flaws, too. The cloud storage platform introduced support for folder shortcuts several years ago, allowing users to pin frequently accessed shared folders from OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. Now, Microsoft is refining that experience further with a new way to organize those shortcuts as revealed in a recent Microsoft 365 roadmap addition. Previously, shortcuts added through the “Add shortcut to My files” option would appear alongside all other files and folders in the root of a user's OneDrive. And although it's meant to be useful, this approach could also create clutter along the way, especially for heavy users who may have to work with large numbers of shared folders across multiple projects and teams on their systems. This is where Microsoft’s latest feature comes in, as it is looking to address this inconvenience by giving users the option to place new shortcuts inside a dedicated “Shortcuts” folder instead. The feature is designed to keep shortcut links organized into a single location instead of scattering throughout the main OneDrive directory. Hence, the idea is to make navigation and usability easier and simpler. The first time a user chooses this option, OneDrive will automatically create the folder, and to help make it stand out from the other folders, the Shortcuts folder will have a distinct visual identity featuring a unique color and a building-style icon. That being said, the new Shortcuts will behave just like any other folder in OneDrive, and as such, users will be able to move it to a different location, rename it, share it with others, or remove it entirely if they prefer a different structure. You can view the entry on the Microsoft 365 roadmap website here. Currently, the feature is in the "in development" phase, but the tech giant expects the rollout to start next month (July 2026). Do keep in mind, though, that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
