This game will be played in Ellis Park Stadium, Johannesburg on the 15th of June, 2010 @ 20:30 (local Time)

Referee: Viktor Kassai (Hungary)

I think Brazil will kick North Korea's ass, though I can't help feeling sorry for the North Koreans and wishing they'd will. 4-0 is my forecast.

Feel free to discuss!

Most of us here in Brasil agree that our team will make us suffer.

They are brave, disciplined, hard-working, predictable.

A team where there are no soloist.

This tasking, sad and seriuos conception of the football came together with the "love to country" discourse, of unlimeted donation, of overcome.

There are a enlightened and cosmopolitan way to love Brasil. And there are the crude and donkey patriotism.

In this playful and imaginary war, we left home some of ours best weapons: talent, joy and geniality.

So I say, let the artists win.

While your reply was enjoyable to read, I can't help but wonder if you had "herbal or chemical help"... hehe

Brazil to win it 4-0

Lets face it we all know Brazil should walk it, but I suspect most fans (perhaps even Brazilian fans) will cheer on the North Koreans.

I've also noticed quite a few of the forums world cup followers have the DPRK flag, just like me! ?

I myself will support the North Koreans! ?Its an odd thing as to why NK is getting the support, perhaps because of the poor NK people? supporting the biggest underdog in the cup? or we get to see a football team that we've never seen before! ?It's the last two for me!

Hello everyone I am a bit of a lurker on the site but despite people saying North Korea is a poor country and we should cheer them on I feel I should just point out a few little things. The North Korean people or people of the DPRK for the most part will have many restrictions on even seeing the world cup. I direct you to both the following links http://www.dailyexpresso.co.uk/2009/11/world-cup-tv-coverage-banned-by-kim.html

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/6649440/Kim-Jong-il-bans-World-Cup-coverage-unless-North-Korea-win.html Also that no citizens of the DPRK have been allowed out the nation, despite what you might think. No fans in the stands will be actual DRPK nationals from what I understand http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/world-cup-2010/7719050/Chinese-actors-to-cheer-for-North-Korea-during-World-Cup.html

Even if they could afford it no DPRK citizen is just allowed to leave with a passport like in the USA or UK to go on holiday. Lastly I also want to point out that the DPRK does not have a team for the sake of the nation its fielding a team for “Dear Leader” Kim Jong il (Who is personally interested this world cup and wants to put his team out) while I am hoping that the DPRK scores so the people whom are allowed to watch this kind of event get to see it at all I think we should remember that this isn’t a poor nation as such it is a control one and just because Kim Jong Il has a team on the world stage please be under no illusions this is a country that is impoverished and controlled to the max by its leader not its enslavement or being in the 3rd world or anything else. For more background click here or if you don’t believe me that it’s really this bad http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/newsnight/8701959.stm

So come on DPRK I’m supporting you tomorrow but don’t be fooled about the state of the nation or why it’s like it is, it’s not Africa.

Agreed.

Its not just an issue of rights though... they have power cuts etc and they still wont get to see any match with usa or south korea in. And I really cant see it being allowed if they loose. Regardless of the rights issue I still feel few people will get to see it the DPRK doesnt have bars and stuff and you basically need permission from what im sure i heard in a documemtary to go to any sporting event even inside the nation.

    • Good point Anti-spoofing protection for cloud mailboxes Anti-spoofing technology in Microsoft 365 specifically examines forgery of the From header field (also known as the 5322.From address, From address, or P2 sender), because email clients show the From header value as the message sender. When Microsoft 365 has high confidence the From header is forged, the message is identified as spoofed. https://learn.microsoft.com/en...g-protection-spoofing-about
    • I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.
    • As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique materials by using master materials, using instanced meshes, generating a PSO cache, pre-compiling every shader before loading the game and also managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime. It's up to the developer to set all that up properly.
    • I think it depends on what you're looking for to do, and the time you have to spare. With my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions; half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, another half hour unpacking and setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, then 15 more minutes mucking around with settings and shooting calibration frames, spending a few hours shooting, merging with past photo sessions, etc. It's crazy how time flies and I often get home later than I expected. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. For one session, where you often need like four for best results when it comes to deep space objects. Even with a smart scope like Dwarf 3, regular non-astro photography is still way more approachable to people getting into photography. I find this is a time consuming niche no matter how I go about it. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself in addition to everything else. Having said this, _if_ you have even more time to spend on this hobby, it will probably be even more rewarding to do it more by hand and learn the skies and the details of how it all works.
