8/14 Cheating China caught changing the web articles exposing the cheating

\_ What is it with communist countries giving way too much importance
to the Olympics?
\_ It's the trappings of democracy. They love the appearance of
legitimacy without all of the mess of actually going legit.
\_ Totalitarian governments need propaganda to legitimize themselves
and rally popular support. It's like how they build fancy
buildings to demonstrate how great the government is doing.
\_ I'm pretty sure capitalist countries give way more importance to
sports than communist countries.
\_ capitalist countries don't drug their female athletes
with steroid and other dosages like they did in
East Germany (when they incidentally won a bunch of
metals in the 70s and 80s) and tried to hide the
records in secret government files.
\_ yeah, right, they just drug them with steroids and other
dosages and try to hide the records in secret corporate
files. -tom
\_ So what's worse, government sponsored steroid or
corporate sponsored steroid?
\_ I choose: none of the above.
\_ Uh no, they don't.
\_ what planet are you living on? -tom
\_ So western governments drug people and hide
the records in corporate files? Prove it?
People may take drugs, but that's different.
\_ Are you Lack Of Reading Comprehension Guy?
Here's a hint: google BALCO. -tom
\_ The Invisible Hand doesn't like your tone
of voice.
\_ You dumbass, that wasn't a "country" doing
that. Our country investigated that shit,
not instigated it. Tom, I revoke your
privilages.
\_ One smack for misspelling "privileges."
Another smack for making me look up
the correct spelling. For fuck's sake,
look it up next time.
\_ some joker added that sentence to
my post
\_ Sorry, to be more specific, I meant 'governments.' Also,
'Olympics' != 'sports'.
\_ Between the fake fireworks on TV (http://www.csua.org/u/m1v and
the Milli-Vanilli on stage (http://www.csua.org/u/m3n this is not
that bad. |

8/13 Can I use color laser printer to print my passport picture?

\_ Quite possibly. See:

http://travel.state.gov/passport/guide/guide_2081.html
\_ Don't know about color laser printer. I used my color inkjet
printer to print my passport pictures, because I can use photo
paper with it. |

8/13 Do you like Breakfast at Tiffany's more or Breakfast Club?
I know it's apple & orange but just tell us what you prefer.
\_ Geez. One features a screen legend and the other gives us
Emilio Estevez. Breakfast Club is okay if you were the right
age at the right time, but Breakfast at Tiffany's is a classic.
\_ My thoughts exactly! -!op
\_ Yeah, and one has a completely racist portrayal of an Asian
man and the other doesn't. John Hughes FTW.
\_ Of course John Hughes did give us The Donger.
\_ On the other hand, the asian guy is the only good person in
the whole movie.
\_ How is he "good"?
\_ It's been a while since I saw the movie, so I might be
mixed up, but as I recall he was the only hard working,
honest, intelligent person in the movie.
\_ How is the male gigalo not hard working and
honest? He has to put up with shit from old
women to make a living, is that not hard working?
\_ Wait, there is a gigalo in The Breakfast Club?
Why don't I remember that part?
\_ They have the exact same rating at IMDB so they must both be
about equally as good. |

8/13 Is it possible to hold 3 citizenships?
\_ I can't see why not.
\_ Some countries will not even allow dual citizenship but how
they enforce that is a different question
\_ You whore. |

8/14 WTF SUNW got renamed into JAVA? Even after a 1 for 4 shares _reverse_
stock split, JAVA trades at around $10. Nothing has changed.
Still trying to cling onto Java(TM). Losers.
\_ Any thoughts on AMD? I bought in around 4.5 a few weeks ago
after Ruiz kicked out. Debating whether to get out around +15%.
But a lot of new announcements, but in areas I don't understand
(GPUs). And now there is the "fabless" plan.
\_ Very high risk, but I doubt that Intel will want to kill their
only competitor and risk DoJ wrath.
\_ Intel can totally crush AMD any time it wants to. I worked
there for a while and the basic strategy is Intel always
has benchmarks and projects ahead of its time, and whenever
competitors release a new benchmark, they'd release an
even better one. They keep competitors around like cats
playing with 1/2 dead mice. It's no fun when you kill
them, so let them live a little.
\_ Yes, I agree with that ... that's what I told my
engineering friends: Intel can complete on two
axes, performance and price, while AMD only had
one hope ... combine that with the management and
operational disfunction. On the other hand, I think
it's a reasonable question to ask "Is AMD worth more
than $3.5 billion". Well, it's nice to be up another
6% today. It's a small position, since when I bought
in I was staring at the abyss.
\_ AMD has a very sexy atom competitor coming out soon. If
notebooks do take off like they are threatinging it could be
good news for amd.
\_ This was announced a year ago, wasn't it? |
