We have to stop obsessing about medals and medal counts. Most of the achievements are done by

individuals anyway, not so much by country.
I love watching the Parade of Nations in the Opening Ceremony, because despite that most of those countries have no chance at medals, they show up anyway. They take their joy in the competition,and being in it, not in the results. If we could just appreciate the joy of sport, maybe we could celebrate when an athlete proudly comes in second (or third, or fifth, or just finishing at all).

让我们停止这些令人困扰的排名吧。大多数成就是由运动员个人创造的。
我喜欢看开幕式上的各国运动员的入场式，因为那时大家都没有拿到奖牌，他们只是秀秀自己的快乐。要是我们只是欣赏运动的快乐，也许我们就会为那些跑在第二、第三、第四。。。。或只是完成比赛的人而庆贺。

（这位老兄，真的有奥林匹克精神！）

You state the reason you use this system of ranking is because that is what AP use. Rueters the other major news agency in the world uses the IOC method.
Of course it will be of no suprise that AP is a US company, Rueters is not……….

你（指纽约时报）为这样的排名方式辩护，说是使用美联社（AP）的方法。而路透社和全球其它主要通讯社使用的是国际奥委会（IOC）的标准。AP是美国公司，路透不是，，，，所以这，，，一点也不奇怪，，，

Since Olympic‘s modern revival at 1896, the medal table ranks according to gold count. The

weighted scheme makes no sense and American’s abitrarily corruption on this issue is but a

international joke.

1896年现在奥运会开始以来，就是按金牌排名的，打分法毫无意义，美国人的武断、自以为是，只不过是一个国际笑话。
（这位老兄，口气很大，还自命为Zeus）

The AP method was so obviously false…How are you going to equal the bronze to the gold in terms to achievements?

AP排名方法明显错误，，，，，你怎能将一块铜牌的成就与一位金牌相提并论？

In Olympics, there is no Taiwan, there is Chinese Taipei. Please correct this fault in the post.

在奥运会上，没有“台湾”，只有中华台北。请更正你报道中的错误！

（这位很有正义感，也有丰富的知识。是不是我中华男儿？）

I’m a yank living in Europe. Amazing how much USA bashing goes on in the press over here over

this issue (seems that any excuse to bash us is good enough). Why don’t you just put both lists in your ‘at a glance’ listing box? That would go a ways to stop the bashing over here.

我是一个生活在欧洲的美国人，对美国人在这个问题上争吵不休感到万分不解。为什么不在奖牌榜上将两种排名方式同时公布呢？那样岂不是万事干休？

The key point is that however the American media chooses to present the Beijing 2008 medal table,everyone else in the world is going to take it as a fact that America lost, and it is non-Americans who determine America’s international reputation.

美国之外的任何一个人，都准备接受美国是大输家的事实。别忘了，美国人的国际声誉是由非美国人决定的。

（这位看来忧心如焚，不过他说得蛮有道理。有时民族情绪会蒙蔽人的双眼，让人看不到简单的真理）

wish to congratulate the Chinese for their first place in medals rank, to say otherwise is to

exchange at par US 10 dollar bills for US 100s and believe that is nothing wrong. Although, we

sport supporters from around the rest of the world would like to congratulate Mr. Phelps and the whole swiming structure from any single school teacher to university teams for this outstanding did.
We benchmark you and above all we do respect you for your outstanding dids. My heart felt

congratulations on that.
PS Raise the bar and place a fair rank for the respect you deserve for the dids in this game and those achivements from the past.

希望祝贺中国获得第一名！

If the NYT really has no interest in who tops the medal table, that is yet another indication

that Americans just don’t understand how people in the rest of the world think, which is the

fundamental reason why the U.S. is so incompetent as a global leader. Regardless of whether or

not the Olympic medal table deserves to be taken seriously, the fact is that people throughout

the world do so. The Chinese “Communist” Party (which is actually fascist), is getting

excellent value for the $40 billion or whatever it is that it has spent on these games.
The U.S. has a responsibility to show that democracy can outperform authoritarianism, and on this evidence it won’t even try. These Olympics threaten to be a key marker on the planet’s current alarming journey into an era of dominance by authoritarian regimes, ideologies, and instincts, and it isn’t good enough to tell people that they shouldn’t care about the scorecard that they are all using. All over the world, people are going to look up to China after Beijing 2008, as both a sporting and an economic superpower. I believe in democracy passionately, (much more so than most Westerners, who take it for granted), but I have no difficulty understanding why China now looks like a more attractive role model than the U.S. to half the world. From now on, the U.S. will only be able to compete with China for global influence if it starts to understand what it is like not to be an American.

如果这样排名表不是出于NYT自身利益的话，那只能说明，美国人根本不知道世界其它地方的人是怎么看待自己的，这就是美国为什么充当全球领袖总是力不从心的根本原因。不管奥运排名值不值如此重视，事实是，全球各地的人都这么看。
（呵呵，，，，后面一段涉及政治，，，，）

I agree with what Henry said. Just admit you are biased because you are U.S. based and get on

with it. No Chinese are surprised that none of the Chinese medal winners were featured on NYT

front pages for this Olympics. Contrast this with the NYT article about how Phelps wins aren’t as prominently covered in Chinese media due to some ulterior motives of the Chinese government.

Your tortured “formula” reminds me of how some U.S. officials like to talk about “CO2 emission per dollar of GDP” instead of “per capita” when comparing China and US. Very funny. How about “CO2 emission per hamburger consumed”? You guys are the greenest people on earth!

HENRY，承认你怀有偏见吧！中国运动员拿奖牌的消息，从未上过你们头版，中国人对此并不感到奇怪。看看，菲尔浦斯独得八枚金牌的消息也因为中国Z/F隐蔽的干预而没有在中国媒体得到充分报道。
你的批评提醒我，一些美国官员在比较中美环境责任时，总喜欢谈论“每美元GDP的碳排放”，而不是人均碳排放。消费一个汉堡包排放多少碳，这是多么好笑啊！你丫的，简直就是地球上最环保的人！

（人均、人均，人们会出于各种目的利用“人均”这个词）

It’s funny when you see how American people think about NBA champion team and second-place team, Superbowl winner and loser, and World series golden and silver team.
— Posted by Avalon
如果美国人将NBA冠军和第二名等同，超级碗比赛中的赢家和输家，世界比赛上的金牌和银牌，完全相提并论，难道不好笑吗？

Which one is more fair & balanced, NYTime or People’s daily, the communist china mouthpiece?

Below is People’s Daily top 10 news, 6 out of 10 headlines are for non-chinese players. And for NYT top 10 articles, none is for Chinese, although chinese won the most gold medals in the last 24 hours.
.Chinese Qiu Jian wins men’s 50m rifle 3-positions gold
·Williams sisters win Olympic doubles gold
·Zheng/Yan win bronze at Olympic tennis women’s doubles
·Chinese Li loses in bronze medal play-off at Olympic tennis
·Britain wins Finn gold at Olympic sailing
·Denmark wins lightweight men’s four gold
·Phelps wins eighth gold on U.S. world record swim in men’s 4×100 medley relay
·China storm into men’s table tennis final

谁的报道更公正？更平衡？纽约时报还是GCD的喉舌人民日报？下面是人民日报的十大新闻，十条中就有六条是非中国运动员的？纽约时报的十大新闻中，对中国人的报道，一条也没有，而过去24小时，中国人获得了最多的金牌！
（这位老兄还真是有心人，把我党调查研究好作风的精髓学到家了，人民日报十大新闻都贴出来了，不服不行！）

看看人家老外是怎么卖女性内衣的吧，地址在这里（http://www.knickerpicker.com/dressing-room.asp），粗看还以为是flash游戏那样的叠衣服，作几个模特，作几套衣服了事，没想到这个网站居然把每套内衣都真实地穿在模特身上展示。请注意看细节，同一套内衣，提供了远近，转身180度，和再转身180度（第二次转身和第一次不一样）……至少6段视频。该网站还非常贴心地选了三位模特。

这三位模特分别代表了高低两种身高，瘦，中，胖三种体型，黑，白两种肤色，至少两种胸围大小吧。请看这个动画演示体验一下。一个网站可以做到如此体贴入微，真是让我吃惊。这个网站的创意确实惊人，但我觉得最可贵的是网站制作人对用户心理如果精确的把握。

由于在夜晚拍照的时候光线不足，相机在最大光圈下需要较长时间的曝光才能得到不至于太黑的照片，而在这段时间内利用发光手电筒在空中画画，在底片上就会留下类似霓虹灯一样的发光轨迹。于是改变发光手电筒的颜色，然后画出有意义的图形，就成就了另一种艺术形式。不过以往这种做法只停留在照片上，现在却有人把这种方法应用于动画，感觉又完全不一样了。

上面这段从傍晚拍到天亮，还是一张张拍的，创作者和表演者可真有耐心呀，作品很有趣，人和画共舞，也只有这种手法了。

这段应该就是电脑合成的了，商业广告的味道多了很多，创意还是有的。很适合拍企业宣传片。

TrackEngine是一个专门给网页更新提供email通知的网站，未注册情况下监视的网页总容量不能超过100k，可以指定监视关键字。如果说有什么不足的话，我想应该是没有提供RSS输出。至于这个网站怎么用嘛，大家可以发挥想像力，比如我就拿来监视本地的一个地图网站，因为它经常会登一些公交线路改道的消息（政府部门自己网站上却没有），我就用TrackEngine监视这个网页了解城市公交信息。我还做了一个交通违章查询页的监视，如果自己的车违章了也可以通过邮件急时通知。呵呵，总之用法很多啦。当然，我们都希望有RSS通知，但很多网站html写法都乱七八糟你就别指望了。顺便看看它的演示flash。
