Handball was the surprise hot ticket at the 2012 Olympics, GB went handball mad for a while. Our own team did pretty well as minnows with home advantage but since the Olympic machine moved on I don't think they have had their funding renewed.

I was reading the http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/5025843/Faarrrkkkk-You-Samsung.aspx[^] thread and it started to occur to me.
This requirement by everything to sign up and register (and perhaps give your credit card no., too, in case you need to buy something from them)is just a phase in the ongoing social engineering experiment currently in progress.
Foil Hats On Beyond This Point!
The various social media, as it expands not only in ease of use but matter-of-factness with said usage has conditioned the cattle (or sheep if you prefer) to get totally used to surrendering what they have at hand to a massive and unknown community. Consider the people who tweet every time they pull a few more wipes of the roll - they're totally acclimated not to "Big Brother Watching" but trying hard as they can to "Make Big Brother Watch". CP readers, in general, should be witty enough to deduce where this comment is going so I need not continue with the embellishment.
Suffice it to say "They're not out to get you - they already got you".
Foil Hats May Be Removed . . . But It Is NEVER Safe to Do So

But Chris, they do different things...

Not to mention slice...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

And Splice.
And Push, Pop, Shift, Unshift.
Also the context of the value "this".
Also numbers as floats.
Been teaching JS recently and might be getting jaded by the feature-ridden design....

It's there for those who cannot add the second value to the first (50% of posters in Q&A spring to mind)

Do they not have a mid? Someone needs to get on that.
|
|
|
|
|
String.prototype.mid = function(index1, indexb) {
this.slice(index1, indexb);
}

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

Or the lack of a trim() function.

Just caught the departing spam below and noticed a funny thing, he quoted part of Chris's spiel at the top of the lounge (to justify his post obviously) yet completely failed to read the second paragraph, this does not bode well for his company when he fails to read the spec properly.

And I had taken the time to look up a link all in vain. So now you're gonna get it here[^] instead...
