[Lance Bachelder] “I think for American’s, we’re used to seeing breakout plays where such as interceptions run back for touchdowns, stolen balls leading to slam dunks etc. None of this exists in soccer due to the ancient offside rule. I know, it’s tradition, but it’s really dumb.”

[Lance Bachelder] “The other insanely lame soccer rule is substitutions. Why can’t players come and go as needed like every other sport? Limiting the amount of subs makes no sense. “

sigh…These 2 comments alone are usually what makes NA’s ignorant about football. Sorry to pick on you Lance – it’s truly nothing personal – but if you (plural) don’t understand why these 2 things in and of themselves contribute crucially to make football the most interesting, tactical and exciting sport in the world then it is of no use to go on. Sorry.

Sorry but I just don’t see this kind of skill in any other sport…

…mmm Basketball…maybe?

FIFA have finally allowed goal line technology to be used in this World Cup. A bold step forward into the modern era.

As for the refereeing…Well I guess we just have to keep on putting up with the odd injustice…

…a bit like American foreign policy really.

(will that be taken as a joke?)

BTW it’s called FOOTBALL.

…you know, cause you play it with a BALL and you kick it with your FOOT. . . .ahem!

[Alex Hawkins]

Does the fact that it’s called the WORLD Cup mean anything?

It’s the single biggest sport on the planet…by a looooong way.

Can I help it if you just don’t ‘get’ it.

…Go ahead, do your worst.

Thanks for that Chris (and Sean of course).

We all feel alot better now, especially with the knowledge that even Hitler’s going to ‘bend over’.

Vielen Dank.

[Greg Andonian] “You can’t open a Premiere Pro PROJECT from the latest version in an earlier one, but if you export it to XML you can take it as far back as CS5.”

Yes that is correct but it’s hardly what you’d call majorly backwards compatible is it.

[Shane Ross] “I have a very old Photoshop version…CS I think…like CS1…on an old laptop I let the kids use. It still opens PSD docs made on current versions of PS. PPro might be different…but so far, PS is backwards compatible.”

Premiere Pro IS different. 5.5 will not open any 6 projects and so on down the line . . .

It is not backwards compatible.

I work for a major govt dept so as you can imagine, leasing software is attractive to us. We don’t need to make any huge capital outlays and wait for software to arrive in boxes. The monthly fee for every piece of software that Adobe make is so low as to be barely recognisable on the monthly balance sheet.

We’ve been on the Cloud for a year now and we love it. Never had any hassles. Halfway through the year one of our guys switched from an ageing Mac Pro to a Z820 and was back working the same morning on the same AE project. Couldn’t have done that if he’d had the boxed Mac version of CS6.

For us it’s a no brainer. Can’t wait for June 17th.
