All this complaining about copywrite violations reminds me of this:

1) Because everyone whines
2) Nobody does anything about it.

jesus. however the fuck nbc is streaming this shit SUX. I have chrome open with only one tab in it, that being an olympic stream, and I looked over at task manager and the fucker was taking 1.7GB of RAM. what the fuck, nbc? then again, I also don't understand why one tab in Chrome requires four chrome.exe processes, either.

Chrome has a task manager that allows you to see what each of those .exes are.

There is a separate GPU process for GPU acceleration, there is a flash plugin that comes with Google Chrome by default that is probably running for the video. Open up Chrome's task manager and tell us what your deal is.

seems like anything that uses Shockwave will eventually go apeshit on me and start taking up 2GB of memory. only solution is to kill the process and load the page again

They need to show this shit live and then again in prime time. This non-live on tv garbage is for the birds. The arses did the same thing for Atlanta.

And the first words out of Brian Williams mouth on the nightly news were the results of the as-yet unaired swimming matchup with phelps and lochte, no spoiler warnings or anything

i am flipping back and forth between 2 channels:

channel 1: volleyball, turkey vs china (women)
damn some of those turks are hotties! the chinese... no comment.

channel 2: handball, korea vs denmark (women)
ummm, danish blondies, damn!

you think volleyball is intense? handball is crazy... they are pretty much sprinting most of the time.

^^ I'm sure most sports seem intense to you, who for all intents and purposes, is considered to be the very least athletic person on TWW.

I'd guess most are between 18-30, so I wouldn't think its that lucky. That's generally when people are physically at their peak.

Obviously there are outliers like gymnastics where 17 is time to retire, or shooting where its not strange to find 50+ year olds.

What's your best mile time, then?
40 yard dash?
Vertical leap?


pathetic. You probably get winded just sniffing boxer shorts.

I was a little confused at the end of the men's team gymnastics. Did China appeal on behalf of Japan? Or am I mistaken, and it was Japan that put in the inquiry request and not China? If it was China, why (they had nothing to gain from it)?

OK, i could have sworn that the announcers said that China was appealing. Which just confused the hell out of me.

^^ ehh, I mostly saw the guy's back and he had red on. I thought the Japanese uniforms were white.

And it was kind of funny when the first thing you see is the guy at the table reaching up to the guys with a wad of cash.

I too would be interested in this information.

Now do you want all time best numbers or just current / estimates?

Mile: best - 0:05:06.something, this was back in HS though.
40 yard - no idea
Vertical leap - 27" (nothing notable)
100 yard swim - 0:00:52.something from HS
200 yard swim - 0:02:03.something from much more recently.
1000 yard swim - 0:11:06.something also from much more recently.
pull up max - 30+ from HS
pushup max - 35-40 foggy, from HS

anything else?

Watching women's weightlifting. They also have bomb-ass lower bodies, massive thighs and buttocks which project out a lot, but very disproportionately smaller, and interestingly, non-muscular, upper bodies. Just like the divers.

BTW, this one weightlifter has a load of armpit hair, lots of black hair

Just saw the Russian... she has a jacked upper body too, only one so far.
