why so ken? I have no doubt that you understand the dangers of making such a statement without providing evidence of your claim... and besides that, Im sincerely curious as to why you formed such a forceful opinion on the matter. oh yeah, and that concert was pretty damn good too!

IVe only searched for one thing so far but it was- in my opinion- almost miraculously easy to find a torrent that I had been searching for throughout the last few monthes. I didnt realize smash made it until you mentioned it ken but he certainly gets my respect. Im glad he kept on keeping on with the coding- this torrent search just proves he's got the talent.

heh. malicious intent should make this his first case study in an ongoing investigation of forum posting habits and interactions between individuals. any sociology majors out there?

I assumed you were. actually I was laughing up until you called me a dumb ass. I guess I just take things like that more seriously than some. and I was joking too. a group of forum users could eventually change a light bulb. Immediately following would be milk and cookies.

wow... I think I made a friend! and btw joeyz... Im still not ever going to take the time to use proper grammar or even an apostrophe for such a callow fellow as yourself. correct my online grammar/spelling all you want. i couldnt care less and it is your time to waste. however, for future reference, calling someone a dumb ass without provocation is generally frowned upon by the vast majority of society. it is rude and does no more than show you to be uncouth and uncultured. as for light bulbs, I am of the opinion that a group of forum users trying to change one would forever be living in the dark.

hmmm... I didnt even know that there was a software forum here... I do now! :D

I dont know if this has been discussed here or not but I do know a lot of people who listen to internet radio and wish they could easily record.... heres a program to do so: streamripper its a standard winamp plugin and loads up whenever you use winamp or activate it as a plugin. hope this helps someone out there!

from allmusic.com: by Steve Huey Zap Mama is an all-female a cappella quintet founded by Zaire native Marie Daulne. Daulne's father, a white Belgian, was killed during the revolution of 1960 while her mother was pregnant with her, so the remainder of the family fled to the forests and found refuge with a tribe of pygmies. Daulne was raised primarily in Europe, but when she heard a recording of traditional pygmy music at age 20, she decided to return to Africa to learn about her heritage. She was trained in pygmy onomatopoeic vocal techniques before returning to the West to found Zap Mama. Her group blends world music styles from all over the globe with little, if any, instrumental or percussive backup other than what group members can do with their voices and bodies. Their 1993 debut, Adventures in Afropea I, became the biggest-selling non-compilation album in the history of Luaka Bop Records, helped in part by an opening slot on that summer's 10,000 Maniacs tour. A year later, they released a follow-up, Sabsylma; 7 followed in 1997. A Ma Zone appeared in 1999 her official site: http://www.zap-mama.com/ theres the usual bio, discography, etc here as well as some audio clips and such.

I think that a major point to this issue is that none of us would be joking if we were there on the ground with rockets, guns and suicide bombs going off on a daily basis. that said, us humans definetely have a tendency to find humor in even the most serious situation. in an insane world, perhaps it (humor that is) has its place in almost any situation as a sort of coping mechanism. as far as respecting them goes.... well, I have respect for the millions of Muslims who live their daily lives according to the precepts ideas and laws set down in the Koran. as for the Hamas leaders and all the other terrorists who do no more than bastardize the spiritual teachings of their religion- well, I have nothing but the utmost contempt for them. if there is a hell they (all who manipulate whatever teachings are found in their religion of choice so as to fit their personal bias) surely have very special places reserved for them there.

Now I've heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this The fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah... Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you She tied you To a kitchen chair She broke your throne, and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah You say I took the name in vain I don't even know the name But if I did, well really, what's it to you? There's a blaze of light In every word It doesn't matter which you heard The holy or the broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah I did my best, it wasn't much I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you And even though It all went wrong I'll stand before the Lord of Song With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah... leonard cohen

I disagree with this posting on the grounds that the entire history of the light bulb has been bastardized due to the shameless self promotion and otherwise lionization of one Thomas Alva Edison. While he may have produced the first commercially sucessful light bulb he was not, by far, the inventor as is so erroneoously claimed by so many. The first patented light bulb was in fact issued to one Henry Woodson of Toronto. thats right, we have a Canadian to thank for the light bulb. Prior to that, coal gas lighting was patented by a German inventor by the name of Winzer. which leads us to an entirely different conspiracy. namely, one involving Edison and his succesful attempts to marginalize and discredit all the works of his competitor Westinghouse who- in retrospect- most likely had developed a far superior system for transferring electrical current. well, maybe not far better, but still superior. so, in conclusion, I can not accept the above list as it is based almost entirely on erroneous information. and btw, dont mind me, Im just playing to the stereotypes.

I knew I was ahead of the curve!!! woohoo!!! :strumma:

Poem To The Freaks Jack Micheline To live as I have done is surely absurd In cheap hotels and furnished rooms To walk up side streets and down back alleys Talking to oneself And screaming to the sky obscenities That the arts is a rotten business indeed That mediocrity and the rage of fashion rules My poems and paintings piled on the floor To be one with himself A Saint A Prince To persevere Through storms and hardons Through dusk and dawns To kick death in the ass To be passed over like a bad penny A midget An Ant A roach A freak A Hot Piece An Outlaw Raise your cup and drink my friend Drink for those who walk alone in the night To the crippled and the blind To the lost and the damned To the lone bird flying in the sky Drink to wonder Drink to me Drink to pussy and dreams Drink to madness and all the stars I hear the birds singing edit: at least I thought it was a damn good poem! :smokin:

paid dues is likely the best thing eightball & mjg ever produced (IMO) even if its a bit misogynistic/racial in nature. featuring Cee Lo Intro (Eightball) Yeah Yeah...Space Age forever..Niggas and hoes better recognize Eightball & MJG...been ten toes down in this game since we were two young playas in a one horse town then hopped to a muthafuckin grasshopper Nigga my life would have been done got cut off... If my dues weren't paid. Chorus (Cee Lo) It's ah skinnin lines between wrong and right Trapped in a trap til the mornin light Ghetto ain't left me no choices, I had to fight My momma and daddy was too young to raise me right. Maybe I been made a man from all the mistakes I made Niggas dead, niggas gone, I still ain't afraid. Ain't too grown to get back on with ghetto games I played My life would have been done got cut off if the dues weren't paid. MJG In the middle of doin crime (Uggh), it never stopped me from writin rhymes It never stopped me from playin music, God, but it didn't mean I had to use it It was obvious, I had to give up the streets - for the beats Not knowin, but havin faith on just how long that it would be Before I made it, before somebody picked up my tape and played it With a remark like, "Hey, played that instrumental, you cat's got potential." In the process of doing talent shows, parties, and mix tapes We even put it down on some of our homeboys jail release dates I can remember in the past closin down at fast foods Strictly stickin to my dreams, but feelin like I'd be the last dude Who can make it in this rap, I thought that they ain't go see me in Memphis It was like a time they looked over Tennesseee, and didn't know Hip-Hop was in us. To all my vets in the game, I got love, stay on your toes Cause back in the days, I use to use your 4-5 instrumental to do my shows And look, I was 17 - when I signed my first contract And about 18 1/2 when I signed my worst contract, we hurt from that And til this day, they still distributin - our first tape before Comin Out Hard, now can you feel it? Be humble and patient with whatever you should choose Cause, to get to where I am right now, I don't paid my dues. Chorus Eightball A C-note for a concert, I know that sounds preposterous Nigga, we didn't have a pot to piss So we got on stage and we rocked the bitch. Fuck the chee$e, I love to see...My niggas in the front row Get buck wild, start a fight, the police make a nigga stop the show Niggas all in the parkin lot, bustin shots, fuckin with hoes Box chevy with the spokes and vogues, niggas didn't know shit about a 20 inch Mo-Mo Hard head, young nigga don't believe that shit, til I see that shit See them heavyweight niggas, one day, I'm gonna be that shit Ok, everybody know everybody done sold dope, ran with a gang Pimp some hoes, and..snorted a little coke..but uhh.. I'm space agein..and we'll forever be Eightball, the fat mack, and...M-J fuckin G Turn the page, from then to now, and we still grindin Small clubs and small towns think they bouncin, and we find them Put them on the guest list, make them pump their fist and get buck to this Make one of them weed smokin, gangsta bitches get fucked to this Expand, give all my true fans what they demand Do my part again and uhh...come out hard again and uhh.. Keep space agein, and we'll forever be... Eightball, the fat mack, and...M-J fuckin G. Chorus

I wouldnt mind a bit of dimmer sun. currently its 90 here and pushing 100 what with the humidity. considering that its not even summer yet... well, Im not planning on building myself an igloo anytime soon

spoken like a true child of privilege. of course, that is an assumption on my part. it seems to me likely that many of the young people who joined the military and are now currently fighting in iraq (and afghanistan, we dont hear about that anymore do we?) made the decision to serve out of a feeling of patriotic duty to their country. unfortunately, we have leaders who treat the military as something of their own personal force on their quest for increasing power and riches. no wonder you can see reports (in the alternative media mind you) of US soldiers committing suicide on a level never before seen in this country's military.

hehe. funny! but are you referring to my above rant or my nickname??

heh. my bad! so I voted yes as an act of contrition. not that I had much choice in the matter now!

well I dreamed I saw the knights in armor come sayin something about a queen. there were peasants singing and drummers drummin and the archer split the tree theres a fanfare blowing to the sun that was floating on the breeze. look at mother nature on the run in the 1970s (x2) and then it goes on from there... I cant remember offhand I was lying in a burned out basement with the full moon in my eyes I was hoping for replacement when the sun burst through the skies There was a band playing in my head and I felt like getting high I was thinking about what a friend had said I was hoping it was a lie. just found this: metrolyrics neil young

Im pretty sure you're joking but comments like this always bother me. see, that statement, "the americans are dupid..." is no different than any various other comments such as, "all brits have bad teeth." and- like so many other misinformed comments of that type- obviously incorrect and evidence of cultural ignorance/xenophobia in the speaker. obviously, some americans are stupid just as some brits are as well. obviously some brits have bad teeth... so do some americans. my point being, it is pointless and "dupid" to lump an entire population together and apply an insulting adjective to them en masse. for that matter, just what do you mean by dupid anyways? are you referring to your perception of our current political climate? or, maybe, you are referring to our alarmingly low literacy rates in some part of the country? or perhaps you were joking. all that said, I hope you were joking. if not, you're "dupid" too! :psychofun:

a universal beatking username and password... I like the idea!
