Okay, so you won. Congratulations!
We'd have been recruiting from the under-tens it we'd made it to the finals anyway...
So... Will we be kicked out by SA, or by the tournament winners NZ?

We will beat South Africa and raise Welsh hopes then lose to the Kiwis. Simples.

I think you're right.
If we had beaten Oz, we could have lost to NZ in the final instead!
Those pre-tournament injuries were a killer for us - I'm impressed we have got this far (and very glad we beat England, of course - just a pity Uruguay couldn't rub it in. )

I don't follow Wendyball, but I understand that was pure luck rather than anything our team did particularly well!

I just posted a quick question in ASP.NET.
When I tried to tag it with 'KnockoutJS' it told me that 'this tag has been closed' and removed the tag.
What does that even means? Why would they remove or prevent to use this perfectly valid web technology as tag?!?

I'm going through interview cycles for a Software Engineering type job right now. I've been reading a few forums and blogs about general interview advice/rants from others. One of the things a lot of people keep complaining about is something along the lines of, "I've had 7-10 years of experience, and they wanted to test me on so-and-so algorithm which I could've googled in two minutes. Why test memorization? Why not ask questions about / in-depth discussions on how to solve difficult real world problems?"
My question for those of you who have been part of plenty of interviews, what sort of questions qualify as "real-world non-trivial problems"? I guess the question is also directed at the Sr. Software Engineers who have complained in the past that the interview didn't test their "experience"; what type of questions would have highlighted your "non-trivial real-world experience" instead of asking about specific data structures or algorithms or implementation details?

I've never had to administer technical screens and interviews until recently. And I was saddened at the trivia questions one of my colleagues came up with -- concerning facts that have no application to what we actually do. A trained monkey can do what we need done - heck I had never even touched it when I started on the current project.
We've been interviewing primarily for SSIS developers, so I've been asking questions related more toward determining a candidate's breadth of experience rather than depth of knowledge. The best question is asking the candidate to describe a project they are particularly proud of.
