It has been definitive before that the creator of the format says it should be "jif".

I still hold this as an example of a situation where the creator maybe shouldn't be granted the definitive "final say". Sorta like how Prince might say that he has changed his name to a funky ankh/female/male symbol that has no pronunciation. Some people go along with it and say OK, you're "the artist formerly known as Prince". Me, I say you're still just Prince. And to me it is still just "gif" like "gift", even though Steve Wilhite says otherwise.

Just listening to it now, and it's pretty good. Didn't realise it was Del The Funky Homosapien. Heard him before on the Gorillaz album.

Cheers for the recommendation.

Did I log in just to upvote this? You bet your funky ass I did. I'm still sad, 14 years later, that these guys couldn't hold it together and keep kicking out wonderful tunes.

Don't intend to stop using their song names as online handles any time soon.

original embed was acting funky so i replaced

Love this tune-Aloes' the funky shit!

Those Aurora model sets shown here....Remember these from the 70's, always thought they were funky-cool. Went to Ebay expecting to find very few and found over a thousand listings-Model kits were big-time disposable-kidincome toys when I was younger-

Clicked one (prehistoric cave bear), two monkeys had placed bids of over $25US....for an empty box!!

EEEEE EEE EEEEK!
Evolution in Action

I too worked as a plain clothes security officer (loss prevention) in a major department store, and I can't fathom that a professional loss prevention department worth a shit would make a stop solely based on a "funky bulge". I could only assume bad stops and lawsuits would be a constant issue for any department operating that way. Also I seriously doubt that dude was in ln loss prevention dressed like that. If you're trying to catch people stealing you don't wear clothes that make you stand out like a sore thumb. I'm guessing he was just a store employee. Most likely management.

Also ive had a few African American roommates and friends and it was very apparent that store owners and or employees would watch them based on skin color. It NEVER happened to me with my white friends ONLY with my black friends, and it happened quite a bit.

just my two cents

definitely not racist, I used to work in loss prevention for a department store, and we followed around anyone with large bag, backpack, duffel, or sweatpants with large pockets, etc. the store is not public property and management can refuse to serve anyone for any reason. And if the eye in sky sees someone recording on smartphones, or something funky going on even if it's legit, they would call a loss prevention guy like me to tail them and make sure all is well. If I saw funky bulges, or caught them red handed stealing I used my radio and notifed security so when person went to exit store they were grabbed and wrist tied with plastic ties until police arrived. But most times I just kept eyes on our merchandise until they got what they needed and left, regardless of race,sex, etc.

that loss prevention worker is doing a great job

Pretty uber-funky, eh? The craze with this stuff all over the web is coating yer dink-plastic parts, rims, motorcycle fairings and what-not, and (ugggh), rifle stocks or pistol frames....I was looking for a, "coating body parts" idea with it on YT, found a guy dippin' his arm and these....dipping skulls. Kinna cool.

Interesting. I've got a semi-relevant story, but I get long winded so feel free to skip to the next comments if you like.

My wife (Thai) and I (American) had our first daughter this year. When she first got pregnant, one of the doc's first priorities was to get us both tested for "Thalassemia", which I had never heard of before. Apparently it is a blood disorder that affects hemoglobin production and therefore red blood cells -- if both parents carry the (rather rare) recessive gene, it can be a pretty bad deal.

It turned out that my wife is in the 1% or so of Thais that carry the gene (but she doesn't express / suffer from it, it is recessive and she has the dominant gene also). I had to get tested as well, but they said it would be incredibly unlikely that I'd be positive and I wasn't. So, our daughter has a 25% chance of being a carrier like my wife but zero chance of suffering from the effects of it.

Anyway, I was curious about the disease and asked the doc why it is a big deal here (every pregnant couple MUST get screened for it here when getting hospital/prenatal care) but I'd never even heard of it in the US. It turns out that the disease / genetic mutation arose only in places with high rates of malaria. As it happens, the genetic effect on your blood cells that the mutation has makes you more resistant to malaria -- full-on exhibitors of it (two recessive genes) are far less likely to die of malaria than people that don't have the gene. That is, assuming that you don't have the extreme variants of it that make it very unlikely to survive early childhood. Basically, if you have the disease and yet are healthy enough to survive to adulthood, you're close to malaria immune (that's overstating it, but ballpark). The malaria parasite can't survive and reproduce properly on your funky Thalassemia-affected red blood cells.

I thought that was a pretty interesting evolutionary response that must have arisen from some populations being pretty much decimated by malaria back in pre-recorded history. Current carriers like my wife are probably the descendants of lucky folks that survived a deadly outbreak in history by virtue of having a disease/mutation that is, under normal circumstances, slightly or even extremely bad in species survival / reproductive fitness terms. I thought that was kinda cool -- but I'm glad that neither my wife nor my daughter are/can be full-on expressors of the gene.

Any standard RSS reader should just list the time you've subscribed to the feed, only videos added after your subscription will have a proper date attached to them. Theoretically, at least. Some APIs tend to return funky values if they're not interfaced correctly.

Quick test with Google Reader seemed to work just fine.

And could you elaborate on the "account upvotes"? I'm at a loss here, not sure what you mean.

That's some funky elevator music they've got right there...

Edit: Also, regarding the laws that are put in place to prevent abuse of all the (meta-)data they collected: even if there was a properly functioning oversight -- and there isn't --, it would still be abused, extensively. Why? There are no (serious) repercussions to be feared.
Unless there's jail time looming on the horizon for the entire chain of command involved in the abuse in question, it'll be shrugged off. Hard time for the people who typed in the queries, for the people who gave the order, for the people who looked the other way.

The simple thing every one overlooks is that he has had hair, fingernails, and toenails since the beginning. Obviously at some point the material 'dies' and is then able to be shaved or cut or he would have long hair and funky long nails.

*quality for Nye though.

Good question.

It is because *backup typically takes full embed code as an argument, which has a lot of funky characters and can span multiple lines, whereas *related is always just a URL.

(It wasn't until much later and kind of recently that *backup started accepting a URL in lieu of full embed code.)
