yeah, I would like to see how that tiebreak rule works.

I saw a replay online and the way they did it was they take the difficulty into effect first. They bother were 7.7 for difficulty so it was still a tie. Then the take out the highest and lowest score from the judges. Even with that taken out, they were still tied. Then they take out either the highest or lowest score of whats left. In the end. The Chinese had a 9.1, 9.1, 9.0 while Liukin had a 9.0, 9.0, and 9.1 giving here the lower score of the average.

Apparently this rule is set it place way beforehand, and is automatically done by a computer software when the judges enter their score.

What a ripoff, Liukin had less deductions apparently but still lost.

Here is what is says on NBCOlympics.com

Here, the average of those three judges' deductions for He: .933. For Liukin: .966.

Liukin had a greater deduction. Thus she was second.

Another way of getting to that math: Take the B scores of the three judges from that second tie-break, add them together and divide by three.

The math for He: 9.1, 9.1, 9.0. That equals 27.2. Divide that by three, and that equals 9.066, the sixes stretching out to infinity.

For Liukin: 9.1, 9.0, 9.0. That equals 27.1. Divide that by three and it's 9.0333, the threes going out forever.

Thus she was second.

It was close. To me Nastia was better.

china played japan today. you're talking about taiwan.

Actually you're wrong. I'm pretty sure he/she was talking about this:

08/18 19:00PM

USA CHN Men's Preliminaries - Game 20

United States vs China (9-1)

well that would make sense, because on 08/19, today, they played japan.

China's baseball team should be kicked out of the olympics for what they did today, thats a ****ing disgrace.

She was clearly better.

I thought she took it quite well for a gold medal to practically be stolen away from her, and in my mind it was unjust.

I was bored today and decided to Wiki the Argentina and Brazil national football teams.

I found something weird, how come Messi is not mentioned on the current list. Although it is the list for who they play with vs Belarus(Soon) it still doesn't make sense. I know that the Olympic play is U-23 with 3 exceptions to the age rule but Messi plays on the senior national team. He should be listed :p.

Here is the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentina_nat...l_football_team

Oh well I was just wondering. Did any one see how ADIDAS had to remove the 3 lines from various kits based on the IOC logo rules. Pretty funny :rofl:.

PS- They should have brought Tevez to the Olympics, I'm sure Sir Alex would of been happy about that ^_^.

She was clearly better.

It definitely was a ripoff. You can tell from the videos she was on the verge of tears, looking away from the camera, and whatnot. I'd love to hear what she has to say about it. Of course being a professional, she'll probably congratulate her competitors, work harder next time, and never give up.

Her smile just has a MAJOR effect on people.

Besides, she isn't cute like Hot, for me. I just think she is cute like a little Bunny.

:shiftyninja:

Cant wait for todays basketballl match China vs Lithuania. Its obvious who will win ;)

yep, pretty amazing game. was a bit boring at the end when the winner was obvious. chinese had such dissapoiting looks :(

Captain of the chinese team was good too.

lithuanians missed too many three-pointers.

the next team well face is Spain...and that's going to be a hard game to win :( at the worst we will win bronze :D

USA got robbed of another medal in gymnastics. The mens high bar routine done by the American was clearly better then the Chinese. In fact, after they put up the scores the CHINESE crowd actually booed the judges for not giving him a better score than their countrymen. I still think there is definitely some judging bias to the host nation.

Usain Bolt breaks the 200 meter sprint world record and takes gold.

He's in a league of his own..... leaving the other runners by lengths.....like car lengths behind.... LOL power.

    • Last week I was investigating an issue with contacts and tried using the new Outlook. In the real (Classic) Outlook, you can easily go to any Outlook folder and present it in a Table View, then customize the columns to show/sort any field, which was exactly what I needed. But of course, the new Outlook doesn't have this feature at all. I gave up. Oh, and can we possibly stop claiming the new Outlook has PST support? What it really has is the ability to use the real Outlook in the background to pretend to have PST support. There is no PST support without the real Outlook installed.
    • Honestly just before Panos left it started to feel like MS just wasnt interested in them so they were being less innovative with them, and then when he DID leave for Amazon its kind of clear the direction is gone. It felt like Panos had both goals and drive, and a vision, but it felt like no matter what his title/department was the Surface devices never had the full interest of the rest of management and he was just pushing a bolder up a hill that MS was adding dirt to as he went.
    • A roguelike and a 4X strategy game are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final leg of the Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways promotion just landed, and it brought along two more games to keep. Last week's Lonestar and Calico giveaways have now been replaced with copies of Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest to claim for PC gamers. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. Diving into the games, Songs of Conquest is developed by Lavapotion. This is a turn-based 4X strategy experience that has players making tough decisions and participating in tactical combat while also managing their kingdom. "Songs of Conquest is a turn-based strategy game inspired by 90s classics. Lead powerful magicians called Wielders and venture to lands unknown," explains the developer. "Wage battles against armies that dare oppose you, hunt for powerful artifacts and expand your territory. The world is ripe for the taking – seize it." Meanwhile, Rogue Waters comes from developer Ice Code Games. This rogue-lite experience has you taking the role of Captain Cutter as he commands his ship and crew through procedurally generated encounters. You'll be recruiting and training crew, use sea creatures, and battle with other ships and pirates. "Set sail as Captain Cutter, a pirate caught in a deadly struggle for power and vengeance," adds the developer. "Navigate dangerous waters, unleash mythical sea creatures, and outwit enemies as you chase legendary treasure and confront dark secrets." The newly available Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day, which is slated to be Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.
