@jkrinn howdy -- ended at 1:1 with a couple of good fast and furious counters both way.
Start of 2nd half of US vs Germany.
And Germany equals in the 14th. Nice game so far, and a full house. #uswnt #soccer
US's Wambach scores 1st goal in 3rd minute: US vs Germany soccer friendly. #uswnt #soccer

@hadleywickham Because you strive for a consistence that is not always present in the gifts we get from R Core :) Or R_Core to you ;-)
Replying to @hadleywickham
@hadleywickham And yes, the inline package is awesome for this; the Rcpp integration helped us lots. Also see the new rcpp() function :)
Replying to @hadleywickham
@hadleywickham "R-externals" ? You mean R-exts aka "Writing R Extensions", right?

Replying to @hadleywickham
@hadleywickham Yup, I think that will make a useful page. Even with Rcpp it helps to know about the underlying SEXPs.
