Recommended Posts

CONGRATS GERMANY!!! I'm italian, but if italy looses, i'll cheer for germany. I hope they win today versus Ukraine.

Here are my expecations:

1-Italy vs. Ukraine (Winner=Italy)

2-Germany vs. Argentina (Winner=Germany)

3-England vs. Portugal (Winner=Portugal)

4-Brazil vs. France (Winner=Brazil)

5-Italy vs. Germany (Winner=Germany)

6-Brazil vs. Portugal (Winner=Brazil)

7-Brazil vs. Germany (World Cup Winner=Germany)

****ing bull****.... good game for the Germans and congrats, but man, losing in a shootout without your goalie, what can you do... it's a ****ing bitter loss :|

They were lucky. Both teams played well, I think argentina played better overall, too bad that german goal...

Anyway, WE DIDN'T LOSE!

no he didnt, djpnuemo. be careful. first he came from poland so he would never do something like that and second you can easily misinterpret every waving, especially after something like that.

if you watch the replay, he sticks his arm and hand STRAIGHT out. it was no wave. and don't tell me to be careful.

^ lol

every team left was not as good as exepted, we are gonna be world champion!!! :)

Sure you will.

:laugh:

Anyway this match proved my theory.

Germans could not win against Argentina. (could at the penalties, but not during the gameplay)

And if you think that with this kind of game you can beat BR, germans must be dreaming.

Well, sure it will be fun to beat you again in the final.

Specially infront your own crowd.

;)

if you watch the replay, he sticks his arm and hand STRAIGHT out. it was no wave. and don't tell me to be careful.

oh you should be.

podolski is too dumb to do anything like that and even if it LOOKED LIKE the hail he obviously didnt do it on purpose, his parents came from poland and i think you know what the nazis did with that country?

Props to Germany for sticking through with that last minute goal and Lehmann for those saves.

Argentina still played the better game. I give my heart to them and they should be proud for their accomplishments. Ayala - you did great.

I'm still disapointed in Ballack. Diving and faking like that to give Ayala a yellow. :no: Bad bad.

This game was evenly matched for 120 minutes. Two opportunities for each, two goals, and Germany wins the PK's.

Props to Germany for sticking through with that last minute goal and Lehmann for those saves.

It was far away from last minute :pinch:

yes, i know the history. that doesn't mean he would NEVER do it. i know what i saw and other places i've been talking about the world cup, others saw it too.

what, am i not allowed to give my opinion?! YOU be careful!

oh you certainly are.

but i saw that different.

am i not allowed to give my opinion?

WE BOTH should be careful.

WE BOTH should be careful.

:D

that definitely was a drama filled game. i was sitting on the edge of my seat for a LONG time. i really was rooting or argentina. although, winning the world cup when your the host, is probably the best feeling in the world. good luck to them.

    • KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.

    • The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.
    • It's a local account with the ability to reset a password at a very base level. I really don't get the issue that gets whipped up around it But you do you
