MC Xander "Sick of the Lies" beatbox looping
Sick of the lies
Sick of the war
We’ll never have another, don’t be a silly bugger,
Check under the tree have a more than a stocking stuffer
It make my belly shudder, Don’t want to eat my supper
Come mother earth wanna serve jam and peanut butter
Another latecomer, here comes a great summer,
Arnie Schwarzenegger owns more than eight hummers,
But the trees suffer, too many woodcutter,
Each and everyone is killing off the earth mother
I shouldn’t even entertain the scene, humanity: insanity machine
Admit that it is us that lost this dream, Last generation passed the buck onto me.
Like a duck out of the water, we’re not going where we oughta
Pretend we’re getting tougher, fronting that we got this covered
But the rights are given up ah, given to the new-world-order
Too many men are nutters, taking out sisters and brothers.
Oh why won’t you see for your self, oh why wont you see for your self
Because I’m sick of the lies and I’m sick of the war and I’m
Sick of the lies and I’m sick of the war.
What did I really come here for? should have been among the sons of war
Time is on, and many man come but gotta be a part of the freedom cause
What a mess were in, we’ve got money in the tin,
But a president acting like a totalitarian
Some of them think it don’t matter, why the fat cats are getting fatter
Some of them think the phenomenon is given on a silver platter
What you seek to gain is what you can’t afford, well I’m
Sick of the lies and sick of the war
There’s a young man in an old cafe, rising his coffee cup he says
“I’m holding on to yesterday, until I build a better world some way”
Just let your mind fall away, It doesn’t matter what the haters say
Forget that man has to be this way
Forget that man has to be a slave
Follow your art, say what you’re saying
It’s all around so why are we waiting?
Come on people now we better start celebrating,
People all around, we better start celebrating
People all around, we better start celebrating
Come on everybody, we better start celebrating
People all around, we better start celebrating
Come on everybody, come on everybody now yo
People all around, we better start celebrating
If your mind is not ok then do some meditation
There better be another way until we’re communicating
We got to move faster because humanity is fading
I can see that we need intelligence operating,
We better call Mister T and the rest of the A-Team
We need true intentions and not just faking
We got no time for stalling or procrastinating
Sick of the lies and I’m sick of the war.
Neil Degrasse Tyson explores autotune and sings a song
I think a certain Neko Case interview quote is appropriate there;
Case: 'When I think about Jackie Wilson or the Platters and then I think about modern, Top 40 music that’s really horrible, it makes me mad. … It’s not to do with the people who are doing it as much as the people who are producing it. There’s technology like auto tune and pitch shifting so you don’t have to know how to sing. That shit sounds like shit! It’s like that taste in diet soda, I can taste it– and it makes me sick.
When I hear auto tune on somebody’s voice, I don’t take them seriously. Or you hear somebody like Alicia Keys, who I know is pretty good, and you’ll hear a little bit of auto tune and you’re like, “You’re too fucking good for that. Why would you let them do that to you? Don’t you know what that means?” It’s not an effect like people try to say, it’s for people like Shania Twain who can’t sing. Yet there they are, all over the radio, jizzing saccharine all over you. It’s a horrible sound and it’s like, “Shania, spend an extra hour in the studio and you’ll hit the note and it’ll sound fine. Just work on it, it’s not like making a burger!”'
PITCHFORK: She’s pretty busy making videos and shit though.
CASE: It’s rough, I know. She’s so rich she could get somebody else to do the other stuff while she spends that extra hour in the studio. Or Madonna! Just hit the note! Don’t pretend it’s William Orbit being crafty — we know you’re not hitting the note because you have other shit to do. You can do it, I have faith in you. But don’t leave the studio before you hit that fucking note. And you know what? When you do hit it you’re going to feel so much more valid that it’ll come through in all the other shit you’re supposed to be doing later in the day. Seriously!
And if Celine Dion is supposedly the great singer that she says she is why is there auto tune on every fucking word in her songs? Can’t you just hit it, Celine? Do you have another baby book to shoot? You gotta paint your baby to look like a pot of peas? What are you doing that you can’t be singing in the studio? It’s your fucking job!

TDS: Happy Meal Toy Ban
And training kids that it's ok if they don't know what is good for them, the government is there to do their thinking for them. That's going to be a valuable lesson in the future.>> ^Sagemind:
I applaud the move - Training the kids to eat that crap by rewarding them with a toy for doing so contributes to obesity in older kids and adults as we are conditioned to choose fat and salt as the right choice in our eating habits.
I would also like to see "Super Size Me" become a mandatory viewing in schools anywhere from around grades 4 - 6 (or at least something equivalent, though I know government would screw it up if they tried to create their own version)
Sure McD's and other fast food outlets would rally and complain, but then maybe they shouldn't be poisoning our kids in the first place!
FACT - Kids will almost always choose fruit first over chips!
Try it at any kids B-Day Party, 2 Big Bowls of Chips (Crisps for you British folk) vs. Fruit Platter - the platter always wins!

That's easy, the government! I mean, think of the children! Liberty is for loosers.

So basically everyone should be responsible for raising the kids...except their parents? Who's driving the kids to McD? Who's paying for the food? Who ultimately decides to celebrate a kid's birthday at McD? And who fails to provide a healthy diet at home that would lessen the negative impact of an occasional McD meal?

Crazy Police Chase in Los Angeles
someone to hold the camera, another to warm the fondue platter, another to pop some popcorn.

Reminds me of ants attacking and attempting to dismantle a bug.
You would think that they would quickly call out keywords or something to tactically assign roles: someone takes care of crowd control, someone sees to the drivers/passengers of the other cars, a few to hold guns on the suspect, a few to yell at them and spray pepper/mace, someone to be ready with the restraints, etc.

i love how when he gives up they all start going crazy trying to get at him, even climbing up on the car just so they can get a punch in or pull his hair.
Muslim Student vs. Horowitz: Major Student FAIL
Hummus isn't that bad, it's actually pretty good with veggie platters. lol @ oh yeah, you're wearing a terrorist neckerchief.
How to Skip the Trailers and FBI warning on any DVD.
AnyDVD will rip about any DVD or Blu-Ray. Most blu-ray are about 26 - 30 GB in size and you can transcode them and write them to a $2.80 BD-R 25 GB platter and they look phenomenal. (Use free BD-Rebuilder software, write with free ImgBurn software.)
Obama on Protesters: They Should Thank Me For Cutting Taxes!
You keep telling yourself that very subjective, biased prattle. I thought it was just racial, but now I see a little inferiority complex in there. It's not Obama's fault you can't play the political game at work.
>> ^Winstonfield_Pennypacker:
So? He is a boy. An immature, petulent, unqualified boy/child. If you're trying to turn this into something racist, then for shame. Calling him a man-child isn't about race. It is about his dangerous level of naivte. He's ignorant, and yet when he talks to people he is condescending, arrogant, smarmy, and dismissive of anything that challenges his opinion. If you don't agree with everything he says then he treats you like something he scraped off his shoe. He doesn't try to understand, or even listen. To put it in basic parleyance - he's a childish douche.
I deal with Obama's exact retarded personality type where I work sometimes. These are people who are barely qualified for their jobs, but have risen to positions because of chance or knowing the right people. Things get handed to them on a silver platter, and they aren't used to having to argue a position. To such people, they simply make a decision on gut based on thier whimsy and that automatically makes their decision 'right'. When they are challenged, they lash out because they aren't mentally equipped to justify or explain their positions or (God forbid) admit they might have been wrong. Instead they use their job-rank, lies, stories, exaggeration, or anything else they can come up with to steamroll opposition, and force-feed what they want on everyone else. They are petty, childish, simplistic, attention-hungry, prideful, insecure, and highly intolerant of opposing people or views.
I have a phrase I use to describe such persons... "He mistakes being opinionated for being correct." This is Obama. The man-child douche (you elected).

Need a bit of advice for data recovery services *URGENT* (Geek Talk Post)
Like I said on facebook, I've had some experience with this.
The drive is obviously dead, but if you're lucky you can sneak out stuff between break-downs. I found that taking the harddisk out, while connected and simply whacking it a little on the side, have jilted it back into action for a few minutes.
Connect it to another computer that boots on another drive and be sure beforehand what you need off the quesionable drive, then you should surgically and precisely go after the most precious data first, because once the drive really goes, it's lost - unless you want to pay upwards of several thousand dollars to get the data at a data recovery site. It should only start clicking when it's read for a little while, the reason it does it when you boot, is because it starts reading off the disk then and the stuff it needs to boot might be all over the platter, so it starts skipping. (It's the servo arm for the reading head that's going when it clicks.)
I lost most of my high school work this way, which is why I use several drives and dropbox for my important stuff now.

I likey the Platters' version:
And people said psi storm was underpowered
Wow, Psi Storm just tore through everything! I can't wait to get a crack at this game, though playing either of these guys would get my ass handed to me on a platter.
