Ok, good point. But hows about you try not being offensive all the time? Is it because you're sitting behind the safety of your internet connection and your monitor, you big hard man?
a) I should have specified 'in major competition'. You can't expect people in the butt-ass Honduran league to behave. Plus, I looked at your links, and there was, like, 1 doping case their. The rest was related to dope-testing.
b) I don't watch drugged people on TV. To my knowledge, the only person caught drugged at the World Cup was Maradona.
Let the olympians juice themselves to the gills. Let the records fall.
My only argument with this is that people will have to take drugs to compete, possibly harming themselves. I don't think people should ever have to do that... I know you're gonna say they don't have to compete, but that takes away their livelyhood innit?
Dude - I'm so glad you aren't in charge of TV or Sport! Sport is basically for entertainment, who'd want to watch 'Wheel-chair dancing'. Woh! Hold on a moment, I'm writing to the Olmypic committee ASAP.
BTW - I changed my mind half-way through this post!! Can just imagine watching people gimmering around in wheelchairs with a nice fat spliff!!!
Nah. It's called Slashdot. If you're a unix person, that's '/.' . If you're a windows person, it's '\.' . Until they rename it to 'forward-slashdot', my sig is staying as it is - pedant;-)
1) There haven't been any major doping scandlas in football.
2) If I was Swiss, I wouldn't watch the world cup either, because a) Switzerland suck and b) they aren't going - (see a).
I hate you namby-pamby liberals who say 'because there are bad things going on, we shouldn't enjoy ourselves'. Like the troll who keeps posting that we shouldn't be discussing unimportant issues on slashdot in light of the 911 attacks, its just a stupid argument.
You state Here, in Switzerland, no tv accepted to pay the billion bucks needed to broadcast the 2002 Soccer World Cup. Of course, in a 6million people country, it would be indecent as there are some bigger priorities than just financing new undetectable doping technologies. - what 'higher priorities' do your tv stations have them entertaining the public? TV stations don't make money to save the world, they make money to improve their output!
Yeah - something I've always wondered in a kind of related point. In the film 'The Fly', Jeff Goldblum's character arm wrestles someone with his new super strength and snaps the guys arm at the wrist i.e. the guys bone breaks before his muscle is overcome - medics - is this possible?
On from this, could we be so drugged up that we'd run faster than our body could go and we'd fall to bits? Hmmmm.
Think this capitalism argument is based on a false premise...
The results may be surprising to those who believe that the pursuit of individual rewards -- as in capitalism -- encourages people to develop a diversity of ideas, points of view, goals and strategies to achieve them.
To summarise quickly - he says when robots are only rewarded for scoring, they all go for goal, whereas when all on a team are rewarded when one scores, they work effectively as a team.
Now - last time I checked, when my team (company) scores (gets a good deal), we all benefit, not just one of us. So it's a bad analagy, which the guy can stick up his arse (or ass, if we're in socher-land).
And if you want a laugh at how predictable these gimps are - check out my ironic post here http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=24190&cid=2618 970 which actually got marked 'insightful' by some idiot. Superb:).
FYI - Its best to whine when you have 50 karma, so after you get modded down some, you can work your way back. I call it the "Slashdot Game".
Yeah - brilliant innit? I've managed to pick up some notright who gives me grief each time I post because I disagreed with groupthink at some point. Fantastic that not only are the linux freaks who live under the rocks on this site losers in real life, but they are on here too!!! Mod away MF's - another 18 points to lose:).
people who don't know or care about "tux" the linux mascot will turn their noses up at this game.
I think that's exactly what's going to happen. This is only 'newsworthy' because it has a little linux penguin in it, which to anyone who doesn't see their OS choice as a religious crusade, proof of dick size or something to justify their existence on the planet, is quite ridiculous.
MS have been trying to write Windows for 15-odd years and only *now* have they made them see-through - surely that was on an early spec? My gran's had see-through windows for *years*!!
Of course I didn't mean that everyone on here is a hypocritical fuckwit - just enough to put a biased slant on any story and the comments on it.
Just because I disagree with the general opinion doesn't mean I should stop coming - in fact, I should probably visit more to stop the blind idiots disappearing further up their own arse into magic linux-land.
If people don't like what I post, it gets modded down, and if you set your preferences correctly, you can avoid that stuff - however, because anything pro-linux (no matter how dumb) gets modded up, and anything pro-ms / sony / mcdonalds etc. etc. gets modded down to the level of goatse.cx posts, there is no way for people to view this site and see all sides of an argument without having to trawl through loads of crap.
It's always good to act big and hard on a website - good work, hope you had a nice wank over that, Toby.
I think the obvious answer to your question is that they're all hypocritical fuckwits on here - there goes another karma point, but I've got shitloads, so bite me, fuckos.
If the Internet is "online heroin", slashdot is an online jet-powered crackpipe burning a two ton ball of primo Detriot crack, laced with LSD, PCP, Ecstasy, and some weird shit we've never seen before
Jesus Christ man - you need to find yourself a new dealer!
I have to say the idea of people who frequent Internet Cafes in America making 'all hell break loose' or 'throwing a coup' makes me laugh, hard.
I would put it to you, sir, that if the American government shut down some internet cafes, the majority of Americans would not give a flying fuck. Now, if you were to shut down McDonalds or ban lame-ass sitcoms - that would be another thing...
Slashdot Mirror
are so many advantages for the purveyors of pop culture, ranging from "never gets arrested for drunk driving" to "never demands salary increases",
;-).
You can also produce that spread-open 'pink' shot that those nasty hollywood film actresses seem so aginst doing
'Nude-Vision'. Except when in America - cos fat-ass punks look bad.

Damn - that's what I was thinking! Are *all* us guys so screwed up that we can't think of anything without coming down to sex? Yes? Good :).
Ummm, variable speeds?
Yes - this is very informative! I cannot think of *any* reason why anyone would want to run any other games apart from this.
Sarcastic Ed.

As lame as not being able to imagine going to a particular website?
Or as lame as putting that, even though it isn't true?
