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?

:rotfl: surely you knew I was joking? 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

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...

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.

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

They chose to join the army, they knew that it would come one day. Better than being at home ironing newspapers to pass the time.
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??
-
mr jipper has a fine wit--it was a takeoff on some other recent threads elsewhere ;)
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!

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!
