As long as Canada wins hockey i'm happy :D

Oh yeah, this is really gonna happen. You haven't won gold since 1952!

Now, before this gets out of hand, this is meant in good fun. It's fun to tweak the hockey mad canadiens' nose over that one, hehe. We love you Canadiens, but you guys just suck at Hockey! :D ;)

Well, if the Americans don't win i hope Canada does, but it has been 50 years since you guys won gold and the US has done it twice since '52!

Truthfully, the whole Olympic Hockey thing (and Basketball for that matter) is sorta ridiculous. The team with the most NHL'ers is the one that is most likely going to win. It's time the Olympics went back to having amateurs[/] on the teams! Jeez...

What's next? An olympic USA baseball with Barry Bonds, Mike Piazza, Roger Clemens, et al on the team? Come on!

Olympic Hockey and Basketball get a clue! Ban the pros!

just remember that canada has still won more medals altogether than the US in hockey...canada better do well this year or else it proves that athletes in canada DO need funding (just like in the '98 games when we sucked badly), my dad knew the associate coach for team canada for the 98 hockey olympic team

i have friends from utah, some of them say they thought or think that utah is gonna be filled with ppl, we had the pan american games out here in '99 in canada (olympic trials for the summer games if u get gold in an event u get to go to the '00 games and its for all of north america/south america) lol, and canada did ok in some events back then n we got gold in one of the running events in the pan am games all cuz the cuban runner who got first place was positive with drugs n fidel castro got p/o. They spruced up the city just for the games n advertised famous local landmarks (legislature, mint, the forks (a famous meeting place out here)), and canada's most famous band ended up playing at the closing ceremonies n it was watched by over 100,000,000 ppl worldwide i heard

I live in Salt Lake City, UT and it's cool that the olympics are finally here.  I liked the opening ceremony last night :>

Yeah, it was a great opening ceremonies. It had a few really cool moments. Have to admit that it was hard to hold back the tears when that tattered flag that flew at the WTC came in though.

Someone just told me this yseterday...the reason that the olympic symbol is blue, black, red, yellow, and green is because every flag in the world has atleast one of those colors.  

If I were bill gates I would buy a small country and change the flag to orange and purple :evil:

no the rings represents the continents, asia, europe, amercia, amercia, Asutralia/Oceania, and africa (i think)

According to most accounts, the rings were adopted by Baron Pierre de Coubertin (founder of the modern Olympic Movement) in 1913 after he saw a similar design on an artifact from ancient Greece. The five rings represent the five major regions of the world: Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. Every national flag in the world includes at least one of the five colors, which are (from left to right) blue, yellow, black, green, and red. It is important to emphasize that Pierre de Coubertin never said nor wrote that the colors of the rings were linked with the different continents.

Go Australia, BTW I want one of those Winter Olympics ski jackets!! :ditsy:

    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
