You're obviously ignorant of the concepts behind exercise
Excercise typically does not result in requiring hip surgery before the age of 20 because of jumping up and down on ice 6 days a week for 14 hours a day.
Olympics is supposed to be a celebration of Man's capabilities, not machine's.
Well then it must be pretty embarrassing when every signal capability is easily exceeded by a trivial machine.

you are doing here is putting your words in their mouths
Oh, like the Chinese did with the US "apology." I'll put whatever damn words and phallic symbols I want in their mouths. ---
That's a dumb estimate. The building won't even be half full. So it's at least $280k. And of course the communist government will have to use it as some sort of projects so half the people that live there won't even pay rent. But hey.. other world leaders will tremble in fear at the Amazing Chinese Engineering Greatness of the European-designed Symbol of National Pride. Or something. ---
Man that must be one hell of a traffic jam in the morning when 40,000 people try to leave the building to go to work in the morning.
What.. they work in it? Give me a break. Sure, 10,000 of them are maintenance for the building, I'll be generous and say that 10,000 actually work in other jobs that happen to be located in the building, but give me a break. ---
And knowing the way China is with athletes, I can see it now: The "People's Olympic Athlete's quarters" somewhere in the top section.
I don't understand what it is with the obsession with physical prowess. Whatever physical feat a man can accomplish, a machine can be built to accomplish it much more quickly, efficiently and frankly just better. Ooh look me at me, I can lift 500 lbs. Big fucking deal. We have cranes that lift 500 tons. Want to launch that 500 lbs into space? Just try it. Ooh, look at you, you can run 11 miles per hour for a minute. Wow I'm so fucking impressed. The worst one is rowing. They've already got the boat. By using oars they acknowledge that they are way too inefficient to not use a machine. The only thing they are providing is raw power. Buy a fucking 10hp motor and kick your 5 rowers off and you'll go a hell of a lot faster!!
Fucking olympics.. what a fucking commercialized waste of everyone's time. Man those athletes must feel stupid when they permantly disable themselves in a training injury. ---

And just think how easy they will be able to control like that! One building a little too rowdy? Lock the doors and suck out all the air! Weee! ---

China wants it built as a [phallic] symbol of power. It's funny because they're contracting Europeans to engineer it, but surely they won't let their own people know that. ---
I was once present in a bar in Cambridge where there was scheduled to be a BSD user's group meeting. I was not paying much attention as I was with a group of friends from work and we are all Windows developers. Besides, they looked scary. So about I would guess halfway through their meeting, in walks ESR a group of his Linux lackeys. Well naturally the BSD elitists begin teasing the Linux guys, who pretty much just blow it off. But then one of the Linux guys, who was a kernel developer, I forget his name, says something to the BSD devil chick. I didn't hear what because there was a live band and it was pretty loud, but you know it wasn't good. So one of the BSD guys (one of the scarier of the bunch.. and this was in the presence of ESR, and you know how scary he looks..) starts getting all up in the face of the Linux guy. Well the Linux guy poors his beer over the BSD guy's head. Well, shit. There were also some foreign grad students from MIT in there. So one of them, who is a Pokemon master, gives a Pokeball to one of the BSD guys. So he throws it down in the middle of the bar, and what do you know, it's a charmander. Now I've learned this the hard way but in case you didn't know: alcohol and fire do not mix well. So the charmander breathes fire all over the Linux guys, two of them are set on fire (they were working on USB support...that explains that) but the rest are fucking pissed now. So one of them takes a baseball bat of the wall and underhandedly swings at one of the BSD guy's legs. So he breaks his knees. This was a shame since he was an olympic swimmer. Too bad. So the BSD kernel guy got pushed over the edge, and starts beating the shit out of the Linux kernel guys. Finally he hits him so hard his teeth fly all over floor, and he begins kicking his head. He probably would have died except then ESR took out of gun and blew his head in 'twain right there.
The lesson here is, it is a good idea to have ESR on your side in a fight, because while he looks scary but not that scary, he does carry a gun and is freakin' crazy. ---
This monospace font is really annoying. I don't want to waste a lot of my time reading slashdot comments, so I like to quickly scan them. This fucking wide-ass monospace font takes me significantly longer to read than the regular font.
WHY THE FUCK DO PEOPLE INSIST ON USING MONOSPACE FONT?
Yeah, someone was doing that with a workstation controlling MRI at one of the hospitals here. Hey, maybe it was you!..who's that at the door? Better run, faggot!
When I first looked at the original I wondered why it said "51 mph". I think it's pretty clear that was a gameplay screenshot, and the big guy (clearly not moving) is covering a little guy who's skiing.

Most applications can't actually break your computer. But if there were one that could, it would be the notoriously shitty napster client.
