There was an active anti-TLC (CAFTA in Spanish) movement in San Jose, Costa Rica when I was there in 2008, you can see some evidence of their work here:
I was hoping that the new Macbook Pro would feature the same new keyboard as the new Macbook, but alas, it seems as if hasn't been changed (aside from being more brightly backlit now).
Deaf people listen to music too. I have a deaf friend who is a speech major that listens to music on subwoofers. So technically I guess it's feeling instead of listening, but it's still the same music.;)
Two: The technical term for using a part of another song that isn't sampled but rather played again on instruments is "replaying".
Three: Another example of the Verve "sampled but tempo changed" phenomenon is the Souls of Mischief's "93 'Til Infinity". The track in question is Billy Cobham's "Heather", sped up 170%. It sounds so good that I have a copy of "Heather" by itself, sped up 170%.
I'm surprised to not see any DJ Shadow references! This guy makes all of his music from extremely obscure samples. Check out "Thud Rumble A", by him, Cut Chemist, and Steinski. Steinski is another heavy sampler.
Some amazing use of sampling (as well as many amazing original beats) can be found on MF Doom's "Special Herbs" albums, volumes 1-3, and on "Special Blends", which contains hip-hop classics over his beats. They are amazing.
I'd also like to take the time to plug People Under the Stairs (the group, not the movie) because they bring it oldschool & are very innovative with their sampling. They do use a real bassist for some songs as well, who is also amazing. They also happen to be the masters of the simile: "We shoot the gift like NRA members on Christmas morning!"
I went two or three years ago. I remember seeing one girl. (And I believe she had a giant Quake symbol shaved into the back of her head. And her hair was blue.)
In glassblowing this is how huge glass plates are made. A bowl form is spun rapidly on the end of the pipe and it will flatten out almost completely. Sometimes they are hung down and paddled to create a "wobbly" effect. Someone should make some CD art.;)
The fallacy of the Extended Analogy often occurs when some suggested general rule is being argued over. The fallacy is to assume that mentioning two different situations, in an argument about a general rule, constitutes a claim that those situations are analogous to each other.
Here's real example from an online debate about anti-cryptography legislation:
"I believe it is always wrong to oppose the law by breaking it."
"Such a position is odious: it implies that you would not have supported Martin Luther King."
"Are you saying that cryptography legislation is as important as the struggle for Black liberation? How dare you!"

I live up the street from the founder of N2H2.. My sister and his youngest daughter are best friends. I've seen the actual 'Bess' dog with my own eyes. All the schools around here use Bess. It's a trend that kinda scares me.. The tech people are kind of whacked out, they just set IE/NS to go through a proxy which you can easily disable. I here it's not the case in the Renton school district however. Back to my point though.. The only thing Bess would be good for is preventing random porn ads from filling up the screen and embarassing you in front of your class.. I disable the proxy on all the computers I use and I've never had the problem though. One thing that *REALLY* annoys me about Bess is that our 'district level tech' enabled search engine results blocking.. If I search for 'glass blowing' it will come up saying the page is blocked because it has the word 'blow' in it. IS THAT NOT OVERKILL? Other related searches that will come up blocked:
- 'magna cum laude' 'cum hoc ergo proctor hoc'
- 'blown glass' 'blow glass' 'blowing glass'
- 'sextant' 'sexual harassment'
The option to block based on simple URLs is also turned on, so I can't get to essex.ac.uk (sex in the url).. The website of a university. Bess boasts that they review all the sites they block.. But they sure as hell don't tell you about the insidious options which enable blocking based on simple words.
I have to question if CmdrTaco even went to the web site. There are SDK's for linux/win/solaris, and they measure the speed in terms of PDF because DjVu is a contender to PDF: you can add hyperlinks to documents you scan in.
The eTrex or eTrex summit work great.. I'm going to buy the summit model soon, as it has the eletronic compass, can be bought for $210 online, manufactured by garmin (www.garmin.com)
Michael Crighton's book Terminal Man is about a patient with some kind of seizures who has wires inserted into his brain to trigger happy thoughts every time they happen.. The problem is that the happy thoughts become addictive, which drives him to have seizures constantly and commit random acts of violence.. Caffeine is also addictive, and the concept of having your own body create it is kind of scary.. After I quit drinking caffeinated drinks I got back the ability to stay up late and be 'hyper' by my self.. Try it, it's basically the same feeling without the withdrawals.
I've worked with two companys that sell shell service and web hosting, and about 95% of our orders were paid for with a credit card. Or so we thought. Out of $20,000 dollars worth of income, we had one legit customer. If not a photo of the card, there needs to be some kind of bulletproof way to be sure that the customer is legit.
Furthermore: If someone steals a card and swipes it at a store to buy something, its the bank that pays for it. If someone steals a card and uses it to shop online, its the online company that pays for it. This isn't fair. The banks need to come up with a way to make e-commerce more secure (we've emailed many suggestions to banks around the world: email notification of card purchases, etc.) so that things like this don't happen.

I think it must be pretty subjective, my original post got modded +1 funny! ;)

Does it have to be caffeinated?
I'm 21 now.

One: Here's a list of songs that have also sampled Backstrokin'. If you dig around you can find a lot of cool stuff on this site.
Two: The technical term for using a part of another song that isn't sampled but rather played again on instruments is "replaying".

Seattle traffic. Been there forever; there's a Windows exe traffic-viewer too.
Altruism.
An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.
I would have capitalized it all; but the lameness filter told me it was like YELLING. Wow, not like that's what I was trying to DO or anything.

... How are you going to help your fellow Americans if the AIDS epidemic spreads all the way to America?
I don't think it's going to get fixed elsewhere and THEN spread here.
I think you have a better chance of it not spreading here if you help it get fixed elsewhere first.
