The guy sitting next to me is from Romania. We got talking about sports and what he likes from Romania. He mentioned that handball was one of his favorites and proceeded to pull up video on his computer.
Up to this point, I had thought Handball[^] was just a form of racquetball[^] where you used your hand instead of a racquet. It sounded stupid. Now, after watching the video, I'm surprised it isn't more popular! Now I'm wondering about all the other things I think are stupid. Like maybe Arnold Schwarzenegger doesn't have the most wins in curling!

Hey Hulk, I believe you should look over the links you provided. Neither seems to be okay...

dang, I'm brilliant. I'll just assume people know how to Google those instead of trying to fix them and ending up making another mistake!

Handball is quite popular in Europe and now more popular in the Gulf states where they buy themselves teams of mercenaries[^].
I loved to play Handball in high school, but my hands were/are too small to properly hold the ball.
I'd rather be phishing!

This was  . I was happy we trashed them in finale, not for the win, but to limit a little little little bit that money now also corrupts handball. Symbolic, but anyway.
Soccer World Cup in Winter because of Qatar is the greatest joke of all time. Too bad Platini could not kick freaking Blatter out this time, we will have another couple of years with this fwe-äöö+üaerglogj.
Not better in France, with the Qatar-St-Germain and M.Ibrahimovic. Too bad somebody's ego would not turn into food, we would have solved the world hunger for the next five centuries.

I hear it's quite popular in Argentinian football[^].

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".

Not to mention slice...

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);
}

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.
